spot on - and he says "he would have just tailgated someone else" - so what, move yourself out of the way!

[@Dooby-138]

Then timelord would be tailgating the knob in silver van

[@pirateadam3686]

I'm voting TimeLord for TOWT. 1. The van was obviously coming up fast, so your observations are bad. 2. You pulled in front of him and made him brake, which would be a major fault and failure of your test. 3. You then hog the overtaking lane for considerable time when there were numerous spots to pull in. 4. You act like it isn't your fault all of that happened when it absolutely was. And what kind of argument is "He'd only tailgate someone else"? You sound like the type of person that blocks the lane half a mile before the merge. I'd probably let you off if you misjudged his speed, overtook the first car, and then pulled back in - but hogging like that should get to you a ticket.

Braking distance at 70mph is 100 yards…that means a 200 yard gap is needed. When lorries are there do you pull in to have to slow down? No

[@SpiritedSundayDrives]

@@AL-YT-comment Incorrect, a 2 second gap is required because all the vehicles have roughly the same stopping distances and do not stop immediately to 0mph the moment they apply their brakes. Therefore, your recommended 2s gap from a vehicle in front at 70mph is 65m, not 200m. Even the NH recommended 3s gap is only 95m at 70mph. 200m in the dry is plain inattentive and sloppy driving.

It probably didn't help that the cammer cut into lane one at the exit of the roundabout. He probably should have existed to the correct lane and just stayed behind the Seat.

TimeLord1984 - You pull out in front of a vehicle approaching from behind causing him to slow down, and then proceed to hog the lane on purpose because he would have "just tailgated the next person". Who are you, the tailgating police? Why do you think it's your responsibility to slow him down? How do you know he wasn't rushing to the hospital or something? When I learned to drive, I was told you aren't allowed to perform any kind of manouver that causes another driver to have to slow down, even if you think they are speeding.

[@bestintheworld568]

3:00 “I indicated and pulled out”…firstly, indicating doesn’t give you priority. Secondly, you need to look, indicate, look, pull out IF SAFE. Van driver shouldn’t be tailgating though, I’ll give you that. “Yes I could have moved back to the inside lane but he would have just tailgated the next person” - Let me correct that to “Yes I SHOULD have moved back to the inside lane, but I decided to match his walliness with some of my own to exacerbate a problem I caused”.

4:24 There is a big left arrow before the bike straight arrow. Not sure what it is doing there, but it is visible. So this could easily be understood as a right turn lane for everybody, which cyclists may also use to go straight. Probably the wrong interpretation seeing how narrow the lane is, but I can see how the driver is getting the impression he can turn left there.

[@gavjlewis]

It's a left turn lane for vehicles. Bikes may also use it to go straight ahead. It's not a narrow lane it's the camera that squashes the image. Once the red Mercedes is in the lane you can see how wide it is. There is nothing to see here John has made a mistake.

It would be correct to assume there would be no oncoming traffic. Aside from this, I've also never anticipated such a stupid move to happen in such a small space of time. The guy was literally crossing onto the wrong side of the road just to beat waiting for me to pass. This van driver was definitely out of place there and was likely rushing to somewhere after taking a wrong turn. I fail to see how this could implicate me as being a bad driver.

@@madasafish2010some tips: 1. never assume anything. 2. expect idiots. 3. slow down! If you cannot see a way to improve your driving after that incident, I highly recommend you take on some additional training. A pass plus and/or advanced driving qualification. It will teach you to be more defensive with your approach to driving. Crashing into another vehicle because the driver did something a bit stupid is not what good drivers do. A good driver will anticipate and adjust to accommodate a potential mistake/reckless act by another driver/pedestrian/cyclist/motorcyclist/dog/horse etc. This is especially the case if you are driving a silly vehicle that is not really designed for UK roads.

Madasafish2010……. And what do we do on blind corners? Something about expecting the unexpected?

[@LoadingRetroGames]

Whys he driving his dad to work in ab American police car??? Thats some next level attention seeking 😂

[@madasafish2010]

Nice opinion, now here's the facts: My dad at the time recently underwent an operation and was unable to drive. I had to drive him to work in my daily driver which happens to be an American police car. It really was that simple.

Jay Dutch…do you moan about taxes. You seriously think we should manage every single back lane for every single weather condition? You’d be the first to moan about money being wasted, and quite rightly. The other option is….think about the conditions you are riding in and act appropriately including not driving.

0:40 So in bloody UK it " legal " to have push / bullbars in front of youre car ( how stupid the UK is , well we all know that know of what every day is going on ) . I hope that ride of yourse is before 2007 or you need to stay in Brittain because they are forbidden in the EU when they are fitted after 2007. 😁😁👍👍

[@madasafish2010]

It is only legal because the push bar was on the car before it came to the UK. It is a 2009 and I know owners of newer police cars with push bars who have been all over Europe in their cars without issue. Maybe its only illegal for EUROPEANS and not visitors...

4:17 That is an advisory bike lane with a broken white line, not a compulsory one that has a solid white line. Motor vehicles can use it, and the big arrow indicates that they positvely should do so if turning left. The small straight-on arrow is just for bikes.

[@Jaccayumitty]

Broken white line marking a bike lane means it's advisory for bikes, not for motor vehicles.

[@jdb47games]

@@JaccayumittyAll bike lanes are only advisory for bikes, whether the line is broken or not. They are never compelled to use them. The advisory/compulsory distinction is whether motorists can use them.

Its not a police anything

Timelord...... you're lucky that bloke wasn't in an emergency.

[@alanclarke4646]

Madasafish: don't go round blind corners so damned fast.

[@madasafish2010]

Hardly constitutes as fast, but ok boomer.

[@paulcollyer801]

Madasafish2010, to be fair, you didn’t leave yourself much reaction time, and with the obstruction on the van’s side of the road, they’d have been that side even if going straight ahead. At least as much your fault. Just a nasty situation made worse by two drivers not allowing time. Adrian Davies-Dear. Maybe if you had observed a bigger gap with the vehicle in front, you’d have had more reaction time. That Lack of reaction time is the root cause of the accident. Correct that behaviour and you’ll never have That occur again. At least you admit the issue. Dashcam Numpties, you move into the “danger zone” and stay there. Why?? While the other driver’s standard is low, you set that up with a lack of forethought.

[@PhilUKRock]

2 minutes for that whole dull first clip

[@WELLBRAN]

First clip how fast was the dash cam car driving looked too fast all round to me

[@madasafish2010]

Not as fast as you think. A video on the internet can be very different from reality.

[@WELLBRAN]

@madasafish2010 I was thinking that at same time
