Highways Maintenance just drive how they like, feeling like giving up indicating myself as nobody else bothers 😂🤣🤣

I agree with the first clip at the roundbout that it is a big deal when people don't indicate. People should ALWAYS indicate, even if there are no other cars about. This is because driving well is more of a matter of habit than thought. I think people's general laziness is to blame for their bad habits on the road.

19:52. Anyone with any sense would look at the dismounted rider and ask themselves WHY they are dismounted; in the case of a possibly highly strung race horse, it could be the horse is being skittish, and they have dismounted to try and keep it calm - and act accordingly with their great noisy car. I have been in situations where even the engine idling has been enough to spook a horse, and had to switch my engine off until the group were well past me.

8:38 Last week i was on the M25 anticlockwise on the A3 slip. The queue was 2.7 miles long. In the final 1 mile before the turnoff, I saw 12 cars/vans queue-jump, two of them in the final 0.1 mile. SO dangerous.

At a light controlled junction you having a red with amber unequivocally means that any 'conflicting traffic' has a red. The latest that 'conflicting traffic' can get a red is when your lights go from red to red with amber. (DfT Traffic Signs Manual, Chapter 6.5) Generally if the junction is of any size the opposing red will come on before you get red with amber to give the junction time to clear. The time between conflicting traffic getting a green (the 'intergreen time') is normally at least 5 seconds, where there are filter lights the intergreen time may be as low as 3 seconds but never less.

Don’t forget that a green light means go, you still have to check to make sure it’s clear and if you don’t and cause an accident you will be to blame

I have to admit that when I was a "professional driver", I used to undertake middle lane hoggers, as my vehicle was 36 feet long and restricted to 100 kmh (60mph) and not allowed in lane 3, so rather than sit at 50, I`d undertake. And I noticed with great interest that the California is still open on Brighton Road.

It's not undertaking if you stay in your lane.

In the 1st clip (trainee Audi driver - Fiat 500) you should pay a visit to Milton Keynes, the land of roundabouts - the amount of idiots that can't be bothered to indicate !

I quite often don't take any notice of other peoples indicators to be honest unless of course i'm behind them lol . I'll wait at a junction until they've actually turned and i'll only go at a roundabout based on having correct time and distance coming from my right and not based upon their indicator . I'm pretty sure it's your fault if you pull out at a junction on someone that was indicating to turn but doesn't.

When I was at college I had a mate, Pete Long, who during the summer used to do trade plate deliveries to earn a bit of extra dosh. Tales were told over beers, mostly I might add of the antics of the _other_ trade plate drivers that Pete encountered - Pete was pretty responsible as proto-goth motorbikers go (If you want to see what Pete looks like find a copy of the TV programme "The Comic Strip Presents: Summer School" and look for an extra who's 6' tall and who fits that description. I'm in there too, as are several other mates, but I'm not telling you how to find me.). Let's just say that if your car delivery involves a stage with a trade plate driver, don't expect it to be treated gently. The "tastier" your new car, the more likely that it was mercilessly thrashed on its way to you.

re. 22:10, driving examiners would definitely agree: causing other vehicles to slow down or stop when you're pulling out is an automatic fail

When I first learnt to drive, when I was 21 yrs old, we didn't need signs, lines or indications on the road - we only had the Highway Code and had to know it and the road signs in it! I completely and utterly agree with you about altering another driver's speed when pulling out of a junction. I'm pretty sure it's still part of the Highway Code, as well. It really bugs me when I'm on a national limit A-road and somebody decides to pull out when I'm coming towards them at 60 mph! Do they not realise they're putting both their lives and those of myself and my family at risk? Not to mention, they're being rather brave in deciding my brakes are good enough!

"Wide car syndrome" is a disease that affects those who think they are driving buses/trucks/tractors when in fact they are driving cars. I've witnessed it myself plenty of times. Over the middle line to turn even though there is plenty of space to get around. It's the same as the people who have to use the turn lane AND the lane next to it to turn. "Wide car syndrome".

Growing up with a dad who served in the Navy, I learned it as a "battleship" turn. I drive a full-sized truck and I've clipped the inner curb a few times making a right-hand turn (USA), so I've learned to drive out a wee bit farther into the lane I want before turning. Amazing how going from a Honda Civic to a truck will extend your wheelbase! I don't do battleship turns unless the turn to my right is more than 90 degrees and there's no way to get around without hitting the curb.

I reckon that with assembling the video, editing it into a cogent form that satisfies the police's requirements. filling in the form and uploading the video takes me a bit over an hour.

Ah rotten drivers, what would we do without em? Enjoy driving again!

I've had a couple of weird non indicators recently - well, one near miss (as a pedestrian) and one weird BMW (yes, a BMW which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but was very strange how they did it) The one where I was a pedestrian and was waiting to cross just near a mini roundabout, saw a person waiting at the mini roundabout which was to my right, with no left indicator. Once all the other traffic had gone past, I started crossing as the car - who I thought was turning right and therefore away from me by virtue of their lack of left indication, pulled out from the roundabout, and turned left, at which point I was maybe 2 steps out into the road. The BMW one was weird by virtue of a series of events: 1) BMW turned left at mini roundabout without indicating 2) BMW proceeds to then immediately drive straight through a pedestrian crossing while the lights were on red 3) BMW starts pulling out to overtake parked cars without indicating (hardly an issue on this road though as it's wide enough to pass the parked cars while there are cars coming the other way). The next bit is where it gets weird 4) BMW then indicates left, to indicate they are straightening up and continue to pass the long line of parked cars. Yes, a BMW indicated, albeit in the weirdest way ever. 5) BMW subsequently a bit further along the road works out how to correctly indicate prior to making a right turn.

BMWs are exempt from stopping at pedestrian crossings and red traffic lights. I should know: as a pedestrian on a zebra crossing on three separate occasions, a BMW ( different one each time, but same crossing) has driven straight over, one only missing me by about a foot. Absolutely got him nowhere, as he had to stop in a line of traffic about 20 metres further up the road. There were cameras at the crossing, but I don't know if any of them got done for it. Crossing has now been replaced by a Pelican crossing.

Overtaking is pulling out to pass on the right side of a vehicle, undertaking is pulling out to pass on the left. Staying in your lane (lane 1) at 70mph while passing vehicles in lane 2 doing 65mph on their left side is not undertaking. It is just passing. It is inherently more dangerous to have to cut across into lane 3 to pass on their right side.
