The HIAB delivery lorry should have a second driver or drivers mate, fully trained as a " Banksman ". This staff member can then assume traffic control for these situations and allow priority to the disabled lady on path for a moment over traffic. Ramp right there at front for her to traverse vehicle safely if Banksman had been in place.

@2:19 Yeah those trucks delivering should have hi vis reflective material on the stabilizing legs so that they are more visible - I'd say your spot on with this Tony.

Another great selection showcasing some of the UK's finest road users.

No indication is probably better than my current pet hate - indicating right when going straight on at a four-exit roundabout.

But how to people have jobs when they can't indicate. That's what I would love to know. How do they hold down jobs when they can't do one of the simplest things in a car. 😂

Petrolhead Moment - that's a Mark 1 Ford Escort. Parents used to have one and I think it is still on the road 😊. One poxy cone....... definitely insufficient for the job 😮. As for the rest; loving the top levels of sarcasm here, Tony.

Selfish & impatient drivers🙄 That lorry making a delivery: dangerous & inconsiderate with the attitude that I have to do my job & fu@k you. Not allowed to park & block the footpath without a proper council authorised suspension, not allowed to stop on double yellow lines even for a delivery. There should also be a wood block under every jack to prevent damage to the pavement & road. The woman on the mobility scooter would be lucky not to get killed trying to get around the obstruction. Of course not a police officer in sight.

Agreed, I also would have stopped and helped her. Aye and no police when you need them, to busy arresting people carrying the Union Jack and other such nonsense.

Well done for giving way to the bus, as a bus driver that is always appreciated.

The Lorry making the delivery, my first thought was Wheelchair user. There should have been some sort of formal traffic control, maintaining pavement access.

6:32 I still call it a stalk, I'm in my 40's, with 15 years of driving experience. I'm not sure how old you are ❤💯🙏🏾

If it was raining and a darker day, the chance of hitting that crane support would be definitely a hazard..!

They're SPESHAL !

Don't worry about the lorry it's only Father Christmas turning up late.....look, there he is watching by the pallet of bricks. Unless it's little red riding hood of course.

With regard to the truck on the footpath, with a crane lifting heavy items across the footpath there is a need to close the footpath and divert the pedestrians, that requires cones and signage. There should also be a taper of cones directing traffic around the support leg, in NZ there would need to be a one metre safety zone between the leg and traffic and on a road that narrow would necessitate a lane drop and therefore either traffic lights or stop/go operatives at each end.

For those that cannot see further than their bonnet should consider the old adage "There's none so blind as those that won't see". I hope you are well Tony 😊

That box junction looks to have two different cameras looking at it, up on the lamp post to the left 11:10

It's one proxy cone, it's representing all the other cones that couldn't make it on the day.

Lorry unloading should have some signage in the road.

Have you noticed how in some cars the indicators are connected to steering wheel so only come on as the steering wheel is turned!

Some quality driving there Tony!!! 🤣 Many thanks for sharing with us 👍👍👍

2:50 I think with the lorry, yeah a cone could be out in the road maybe, I get what you mean, say you go to move over right to avoid the stand, someone behind you, who would be right up your arse would think at the last second, why are they moving over so far, which means they can't see it and could lead to an accident. I think it's common sense to approach with caution, but in this modern age, you could see someone hitting it and thinking, blame = claim. You'd like to think any sane insurance company or judge would throw it out, but I see the healthy and safety point, leaves people wide open to get hurt or cause an accident. edit, as for the old dear, they have probably left a whisker to squeeze through or left a legal obligation for 1 person at a time through, but this also comes back to people parking on pavements, shouldn't be allowed, wheelchairs, prams and kids shouldn't have to deal with this nonsense.

2:41 I can only speak for USA here, but yes, there would have been cones all around the crane vehicle, and probably a road works sign back about 200 feet behind as well.

The cars shouldn't be fined for a yellow box violation as they didn't actually stop. Pretty close but no stop.

There needs to be a system where any company causing an obstruction like that jib truck should be made to apply for a permit and meet safety requirements. They are making money for their business so should bear the cost of traffic and pedestrian interruption. This one isn't anywhere near the worst I've seen but shouldn't be like this.

I think there was a camera on the lamp post above the yellow box ❤ I think that woman in the Nissan just didn’t give a monkeys n expected you to let her pass. Great videos ❤

08:03 Come on, it's a Range Rover, what do you expect?... Their sense of entitlement puts an Audi driver to shame. Incidently, I've always liked the Mk1 Escorts, but a bit too pricey for me these days.

3:57 that’s my car!!! Joking it’s not

Fkin annoying when they don't indicate when exiting a roundabaout, and no, you don't go on another driver's signal but at least it gives you a clue.

I watch a lot of your video's and one thing I have noticed is that many of the things shown are 'bad habit's drivers have picked up, a lack of care and attention (including cell phone use) and inconsiderate actions. When I was a learner many years ago I was taught all this as part of my driving lessons, including looking farther down the road than your front bumper!

7:27 that's the supposed "smart car"....... Like a prius you couldn't pay me to drive one, ever!!

You've said so many times to get a side camera, please can you get one? Or hope for some sponsorship to give you one 😂 anyway good video as always 😊

the clip with the crane and poor stranded pedestrian. I know how she feels as i use a wheelchair and this happens often (i live in Australia). One of the workmen should stop traffic and guide her around on the road till she is safe and definitely should have more cones.

today I was driving in london, stopped at a junction with left lane for left turn only, middle lane for going straight only and right lane for turning right only. Then I see a Highway Maintenance van in the right lane, he goes through red light and turne LEFT from the Right turn ONLY lane. Some people.....

Some drivers actually think a car turning into their sideroad means they can exit the sideroad at the same time. Sometimes you see them do it and block the lane.

that last one is a horrible mistake to make

I agree with you about the lorry and a cone in front of the stabiliser. Not sure what the solution is for the lady on the buggy. Maybe she didn’t look further than the end of her bonnet either and perhaps could have crossed the road earlier to get around the lorry.

@kinkaito5433

what if because at her age, she couldn't see that far down the pathway?. Path should either 1) be clear for people to pass or 2) make a path with cones around the van for people to get passed If people cant get past your big lorry, then the big lorry shouldn't be there to begin with. Lorry Drivers delivery isn't the problem of the public who need to use the sidewalk Either make it safe, or don't park there.

@10:26 Didn't you know that ruddy great red London buses are almost invisible? That poor van driver couldn't possibly be expected to see that, just like the Ford Focus driver I saw flashed out by a BMW yesterday - how could either of then have seen the big red London bus 30 yards away coming down the bus lane?

Masons Bridge Road near East Surrey Hospital still has a sign post warning of a road closure from the 17th March for 7 days, that you can see on Google's Street View (dated from April 2023). It's now April 2024. That sign warning of a road closure... is _still_ there. Over _ONE YEAR_ after the road opened. There was also a time last year, around October, when there were signs warning that the A22 would be closed from November between the A25 roundabout, and Junction 6 of the Motorway in Godstone. But that was referring to a closure that happened in November _2022!_ that was left there, almost an entire year. I don't understand it. Why do they somehow take the effort to put all these warning signs up but.... don't even _bother_ to take them down?

First yellow box junction - if they received fines they could use your video as evidence of no transgression, as it shows that they didn't actually *stop* (They slowed down to *almost* a stop ... but that's not a transgression). 🙂

3:17 yeah, out of order, that pensioner has nowhere safe to go - smh.

Even if they are indicating I still wait until they start the manoeuvre.

I always give fiat 500's a wide berth.

Signs are removed by a specialist crew, can't have say somebody trained in tarmac knowing how to remove street furniture when works are completed.😉

Good old great British workforce, its all about them "my job is important which means I'm important and noone else matters" I bet with the tree cutting noone did a risk assessment. And the man hole dodger, maybe he's got a headache from going over too many manholes. Where I live normally manholes are an island in a massive pot hole, so it's subliminal thinking that I avoid them. And when I'm sitting in traffic now, without fail there is someone on their fucking phone. Imagine if you had a plain clothes policeman on the pavement walking past, you could pay off the national debt with the fines

Definitely more cones & thanks London Dash Cam 🚕😊👍

I have noticed how the speed limits have changed around Kingston and Worster Park for a few weeks now yet everywhere I drive I still see 30mph signs its a joke.

Lorry parked on path, the support leg in the road is dark and almost invisible, gonna get hit. Signs left after road works finished is what leads to drivers ignoring them when works not finished. Years and years ago, idiots couldn't afford a car but unfortunately nowadays they can and so infest the roads with their poor driving; how do they pass their driving test, you have to wonder?

While not ideal I do actually see dropped kerbs either side of the road where the lorry is parked making a delivery, and before you question anything I did say not ideal 😉 However, there are rules around blocking a pavement and those rules dictate that alternatives should be made available even if it means putting out a temporary coned path with ramps for access. This is usually for planned works so not sure if delivering is covered by the same restrictions I would have thought this would be the same as having a skip on a public road where it requires a council issued permit, but who deals with such paperwork these days? Slows the job down 😁

The Range Rover did see the woman with the push chair and the car doing a u turn but just wanted to deliberately block them off and go in front. Sheer bloody mindedness and unsafe.

Thanks

Regarding the truck driver on the pavement: I used to do this kind of work a few years ago and some builders' merchants provided us with cones to put out to keep drivers off the support legs in circumstances like this. Maybe this driver only had one; not sure. He shouldn't have the leg touching the pavement by itself; they have big square 'pads' that are supposed to go under the support leg but some drivers think they're only for use on soft ground.

@@petehiggins33 Yes he did, because HIAB cranes will often not work unless both sides are at least partly extended.

It is some other persons job to remove the signs - no the ones that were doing the work. There are some 'temporary' signs for change of speed limit I see everyday that are clearly no longer required (as they have removed the black bags off the real signs) but the temporary ones must have been there for at least 2 months now.

I hate when people leave a turn left on roundabout don’t signal

The amount of people looking at their crotch at the lights is amazing.

7:59 I reckon he's either holding his head because of too many manhole covers he's hit, or on the phone to report the problem.

3:17 Obvious that one cone does not suffice! Good spot! Has this been reported to the company responsible? If not, why not?

Great video

So many people these days are just self centred, could the lack of police presence be a reason ???

2:05 There definitely needs to be more signage ! A keep right sign & cones would be the minimum I would say. Now is it a case of the company not providing this equipment or the drivers too lazy to use it ?

Again in NZ a vehicle being driven on trade plates only needs one plate (usually the rear), do they need both fitted in the UK?

Person hole cover, or a them hole cover…….🤣🤣

Answer for the screenshot:not at all a temporary traffic measure with banksmen & stop/go signs is sufficient

Smart cars have front springs that are prone to snap for just looking at a man hole cover, or is it now a person cover?

@3:52 yellow box junction, man in red top crossed the road why he stopped

3:04 I wonder if they have the proper council work permit?

after seeing the mobility scooter trying to get past i would have pulled in behind the lorry and got out to help her cross by stopping traffic if needed, should be the workers doing it though.

The range rover is obviously later for it next delivery of drugs , places to be pal

What's wrong is us normal people are trying to make it in a morally bankrupt society. Laziness, and phone zombies 🧟‍♂️ abound.....

just paint the outrigger in diagonal yellow and black.

Can't afford the optional extras of indicators. You can use that in the next video. You say it better.

my indicators only work intermittently yes no yes no

Great video and what alot of twats 🎉on the roads.

Smart car wasn't so smart!!

Yes selfish lorry delivery, and should have something on the damn support in the road as least. Hopefully they helped the mobility scooter. Indicators what are those, most drivers dont use them, I drive a motorbike and trying to guess where some people are going is a bloody joke. Pulling out Black Car, Yes its always an Audi.. The black Kai must be one of those invisible models like yours?

3:18 are you taking the mick? Just 50 metres up the road there is another dropped kerb and central island she can cross at. She came from that direction so she should have thought about how to get round the lorry before approaching. With regards to the lorry, there should have been a warning at least 100 yards back up the road advising of caution and with regards to the stabalizer in the road, it has yellow/black caution markings on the arm making it legal. Also if you can't see this in the middle of the road at 20mph you need your eyes checking or licence handing back in my opinion.

Sadly these days Councils no longer do signage for Roadworks this is done by "professional" Traffic Management Company`s, that`s why you see all those little flat-bed trucks running around loaded with cones etc with the amber lights constantly running. Driving a Range Rover makes you TOTALLY superior to all other road-users and therefore have top priority in every situation.
