It doesn't matter if the compiler considered that the Mini should have moved, or "not stopped". The law is the law. They stopped for the pedestrian, as per, and there was sufficient space for the following vehicle to brake, IF the sleepy blonde had been both driving and THINKING. And I just saw that the rear-ender was driving a TOYOTA, that doesn't say much about her intelligence. Never trust the driver of a Japanese or Korean vehicle.

The safe rule is never to get closer than the overall stopping distance allow at least a two-second gap between you and the vehicle in front on high-speed roads and in tunnels where visibility is reduced. The gap should be at least doubled on wet roads and up to ten times greater on icy roads remember, large vehicles and motorcycles need a greater distance to stop.

2:46 - the mini driver should not have stopped at all. Those lights are the repeater lights at the far side of the junction and do not have a stop line. They are only there to allow drivers stopped close to the stop line, at the entrance to the junction, to see when the lights change, when they are too close to the lights on their side to see them. We have a similar junction at the exit from a shopping centre and drivers regularly turn left on a green light and then stop at the red light, which is not meant for them and is always red when their light is green.

2:45 Mini should not have stopped because there was no solid white line, meaning that the red light does not apply to them! However, the cammer is still at fault because it is a rear-end collision and they did not leave adequate braking room and were not paying enough attention. I think on reviewing the footage most insurance companies would choose to settle as joint-fault due to Mini's dangerous driving.

The lack of spacial and situational awareness plus deluded embodiment by many dashcam users is ironically why we have so many avoidable accidents on our roads. Its not hard to slow down and let others drivers get on with their day.

​@@ferrumignisIMO, the emerging driver has judged (and rightly so) that he has right of way based on the amount of clear road he can see on his right. He then has to look left before he can start the manoeuvre. He doesn't have to judge the Golf's speed, but possibly he has assessed the speed of the camcar and not seen the Golf ( it wasn't in the correct road position) and anyway speeding doesn't give you right of way! Assuming the cam car was close to the speed limit, you can see his right turn was safe based on how close the cam car was to the incident. I believe the Golf is doing 20mph over the camcar so that is 50 in a 30. Way too fast! The Golf has also overtaken in the short distance between two bollards that is hashed. The authorities really don't want people to overtake there! So it's not just speeding, it's excessive speeding and reckless driving. Finally the emerging driver has seen the Golf and stopped, so he made the continuous observation. I do apportion some blame to the emerging driver, but that portion of the blame depends on how much faster than the speed limit the Golf was doing, which I can't honestly judge.

14 mins. The 4x4 rolls over and the old fool checks his bumper BEFORE the driver! FFS!

30.10 When you see a guy with his elbow hanging out the window you just know he is thinking more about himself than anyone else. Probably the best motor he,s ever driven and feeling good about it. Most likely the bosses motor too.

31:43 The road markings need updating on that roundabout. If you come from the south on the M32, then both outside lanes lead onto the M4, if you come from the M4, then the same two lanes lead round onto the M32. If the old guy came from the M32, he was completely in the right to exit in that lane to go to the M4, and the black car, if he came from the M4 was just as right to continue to the M32. It seems plain that the little black car sped off from the lights too quickly and was trying to undertake the old guy. Either way, the gap in the lane markings shows you can use both lanes to exit to the M4, and the old guy had his blinkers on. Again, observation and not treating the road like a racetrack would have avoided this accident.

ALL drivers in the UK need to learn about Destination Zero - that's 0 accidents being the aim for 2041 on London's Roads! this means Safer Streets, Safer Speeds, Safer Vehicles and Safer Behaviours on the roads. This means that the driving standards to pass a test from NOW on will be much harder! People will soon no longer be able to move to the UK from other countries and just 'exchange their licence' for a British Licence (they will have to pass a driving test first). We have become sloppy in our self discipline in the UK with regard to driving... and it's time to change that! In every situation the human element can fail - the Road system should not!

Oh my god! I go down that same route at 1:14 every day for work. Tell who ever it is that Olly wants to buy him a drink.

@47:00 'Excellent commentary!'

experience taught me as a passenger, if the driver overcorrects into a tankslapper, shout " let Go" the castor effect will straighten the wheels then you can pull it straight, only had it happen once but it deffo worked

From what I’ve seen from these videos and over 5 years of driving so far, the cars that are being driven by bad drivers are (but not limited too) Any BMW, Mercedes or Audi Peugeots (specifically 2000’s Peugeots) Taxis And Van Drivers

The 106. That looks to be the classic "Someone stole my car and crashed" I hope the insurance sees this video.

If you see someone pulling out from a side road and it is your right of way it seems you are supposed to speed up, make a fuss and sound your horn for 5 seconds. Must remember that for next time.

2:46 .. the Mini stopped in the junction thinking the second set of lights (beyond the box junction markings) were a different lights when in fact they are connected to the ones they'd already gone though. I wish I had a quid for the number of times people do that on larger junctions.

Yep. At 2:52 the Mini drove over the solid white line when the lights were not red. There is no solid white line in front of the Mini when it stopped. So it shouldn’t have stopped there.

30:57 Nice little cricket ground there, wonder where that is?

van at 01:08 can be reported for an offence. Rule 195 in the Highway Code states that: you MUST give way when a pedestrian has moved onto a crossing.

@52:48 i see people are still speeding round in brixton south london lmao

9:07 You can overtake on the left in slow moving queues of traffic. Is it me or does the queue on the left seem a bit short and moving quite fast?

45:53 Silver Range Rover might be doing a second lap of roundabout. It seems there is a road closure and lots of yellow signs. Cammer does not factor in the possibility that Range Rover might not exit but continue round. Vehicles travelling this slow circulating roundabouts need special caution from other drivers even where no temporary signs are shown. Cammer works herself up unnecessarily over this.

Most of the drivers with cameras are breaking the law, this country states that it is required for you to stay at the scene of an RTC at all times necessary, also there is no such thing as a accident

#13 The van was blocking both lanes to stop selfish bastards increasing the wait time for the whole queue. He was not stupid. He was being considerate

4:49 Jim Bowen had a phrase on Bullseye; stay in the black keep out of the red there's nothing in this game for two in a bed. I think the black and white areas here are a simile.

That's my street!

The Lady in Asda Car Park - Why did you say sorry to the other driver when there were CLEARLY Give Way markings for the other car? To the Third Party involved - please remove yourself from the UK's roads and make driving safer for EVERYONE!

3:00 "the mini had heaps of time to go"... Just shows how much these people actually know about the roads xD The line for the junction was miles back, that was absolutely no reason whatsoever to stop there... it's not a matter of opinion.

I find the incidents in those narrow, winding English town streets most entertaining.

14:40 - Kinda think that one of the cars ahead had cut up the tow car when moving out of lane 2 and the tow car (which was probably speeding anyway) braked and put itself out of control.

No 3. What were those drivers thinking? That could have been far worse than it was.

#7 was completely the fault of the car with the dashcam. You should always have enough distance to the car in front so you can stop in case of an emergency (driver needs to check the Highway Code)

Mini shouldn't have stop there as it was a repeater light, cam did follow closely tho.

In clip #73 35:57 that fiesta dealt with that perfectly

clip 48.. pedestrians have right of way if they have started crossing regardless of the lights. you dont just drive at them and hope you miss..

Mind you, many pedestrians tend to walk out and wait for traffic to pass before completing their crossing, and on some bikes you can very easily lock the wheels on them if you're not careful (with the accompanying loss of stability). Wonder what speed the bike was doing...

4:50 but at least he had the sense to immediately pull over, presumably to check his wheels for damage. Too many people imagine that striking the kerb at speed is not an issue because it's sideways and doesn't "feel" serious and will drive on casually until they have a blowout or their knuckle fails or the tracking goes out the window and they chew up their tyres...

I'm amazed at the amount of people who pull over after being hit. What you want to do is stay exactly where you are and take photos of how and where the impact happened in relation to the road. The amount of people who can lose because the third party offers an alternative truth and without concrede photographs, easily get away with it.
