I went on holiday from Hastings, East Sussex to Darlington, its a 5 hour journey which is the longest I have ever driven in a single journey. I made a couple of mistakes on the way home, I was meant to be in the left lane for the A1M but ended up on the M11, there were 2 lorries (one over taking the other) so I couldn't move across safely, instead I just carried on and jumped off at the next junction on the M11, the satnav guided me back, simple, no hassle, no fuss, no dangerous driving, yes it added 15 minutes to the journey but who cares we made it home safe. The other mistake I made was on the M25 when merging at junction 23, I was in the wrong lane, luckily at 11pm the roads were fairly quiet and I was able to correct without causing concern to other vehicles. I always say its better to be late home than drive dangerously and not get home. Drive safe everyone and thanks for the video as always!

I don't think the mentality is right, and I also condone speeding, however I often find learners tend to do a few miles an hour under the speed limit on their speedo, usually 27-28 in a 30 or so on there, and that's often 3+ mph out, so they're often doing about 25 in a 30 in reality.

If already overtaking, finish or abandon it to prepare for merging out onto the exit ramp. It's the bad planning that causes people to miss their exit and some erratically try to fix it with dangerous manoeuvres, there is no shame in admitting your own mistakes and fix them safely, even if that means taking the next exit.

Religiously sticking to a rule of thumb is bad planning. You should be judging every situation on its merits - abruptly abandoning an overtake might cause the following traffic to have to brake suddenly and cause a jam. People being too timid to overtake the slow traffic in the inside lane before a junction often causes large queues on the motorway. Conversely, perhaps it wouldn't even be safe to overtake a mile from the junction, let alone half a mile. What do you mean about overtaking on an intersection? I think do this perfectly safely on a daily basis.

Wow! What a range of opinions about the use of the lights. This should be considered as a learning point for many. For me - a brief flash of the lights means the driver is trying to help me in some way.

The van coming off the motorway was actually quite measured driving after realising they needed to get off they waited for the truck to pass before coming over. Was it late and unplanned OFC but given the light traffic in the middle lane it was also safe. That being a safe manoeuvre would likely not be if traffic was heavier as they would need to slow in the middle lane to achieve it.

A big white Volvo SUV undertook me (dual lane) crossed back over…turned right at the mini roundabout…..pulled into a driveway. 100% pointless. …..went in doors and said “I showed that Honda who was boss, ha ha ha”. BCSD?

On the subject of make up, I go with the same mindset as phones and food. If the vehicle is not parked then focus on driving. Even when stationary in traffic, you don't know if an emergency vehicle is approaching or if another vehicle might lose control making you have to take action. At train gates or traffic lights, it's not necessary but it's mindset I try to keep.

Anyway, I see the front of a white vehicle as I approach and tuck in a little to give them room, the van right up my arse prompts an overtake so I beeped to warn him as he was ragging it. He slowed and spotted the car and promptly reversed back behind me.

I was rather shocked a Fiat 500 deliberately drove around me drove head on at the LGV making them have to stop. The distance and who had more of an obstruction is subject to opinion, but I guess the Fiat's view was obstructed by my truck. Regardless, I didn't give any indication that I was parked I thought.

German Vehicles involved in the minor accident where and Audi and Mercedes. looked like a bit of shunt happend as the result of one following too close behind the other and the traffic suddenly slowed in to a temporary traffic queue

You should become a sat nav voice command, you are the man for it and it would be hilarious.

Ashley, I must thank you for the "keep bad drivers in front, stay in control" mentality you've thought me, I noticed the car behind me almost drove of the road (dual carriage) and kept closing distance more and more. I decided to pull off for 1 minute, ran into an accident about 10 kms later, they'd ran into the back of another car, so happy I learned your ethics

4:42 No issues with the grey car overtaking? No indication? Passing several junctions?

When pulled over or even just stopped to let oncoming traffic pass a narrow section of road, I usually stick my indicator on while I wait so people can see my intention is not to park but to rejoin the flow of traffic. Is this a good idea, do you think?

The one with the lorry happened to my grandma, she was pushed off the road.

I was driving through Port Charlotte in Florida once where there was multiple sets of traffic lights something like every quarter to half mile and there was a Woman putting on makeup, drinking coffee and talking on the phone which was tucked under her chin and steering with her knees. She was in the outside lane and beside me for four sets of traffic lights which turned red every time we got near them so stop go and she was accelerating hard every time a light went green and caught the red every time. To this day I don't know how she managed it but it was obviously normal to her and all the other drivers around. Not surprising that there was so many rear end shunts wherever we went in the US.

I gunned it and lane changed in front of a space closer and they honked at me lol. There was a slower driver in front though and it was in a 20 so perhaps I was in the wrong too. I usually just go in behind a space closer - less hassle, they can have their thirty feet of road space.

The hatched markings are bounded by solid lines - so are not intended to be driven over.

7 hours of mainly motorway and A road driving today and it was horrible. I think if I had a dashcam you could have had about 30 minutes worth of material. It's like a free for all once there's some bad traffic and delays.

6:33 If I may, I've seen countless dashcam videos where traffic is stopped for seemingly no reason but it turns out a pedestrian was crossing. I wouldn't have passed the queue at this speed. EDIT: I'm no perfect driver myself, and I'm not claiming I am

Why did you flash the Mercedes?

Back when we lived in moscow my mum would often put her makeup on while driving which eventually got her into 2 minor accidents lol. She stopped and hasn't had an accident since

I wouldn't have bothered with the headlight flash on the Mercedes to be honest. Aside from being an incorrect use of the lights, it wasn't going to make the situation any better. I also think you were a bit, let's call it 'proactive' when you realised that he wasn't going to let you move across, you were hard up against the right edge of the lane and maintained your speed, once you realised he was going to shut you out you could have just backed off the throttle a little and you wouldn't have been sat alongside him for so long. People like that are simply not going to let you out and protesting just makes you both angrier. Also, with that poor lane discipline there's every chance he'd try and switch lanes on you mid roundabout so I'd have just stayed behind him or at least staggered to the point that you can dip the brakes and avoid him if he moves across. However it's easy to fall prey to the red mist sometimes and I'm far from the first. Love that clip of the red corsa. Got to get ahead so badly that he has to perform a dangerous overtake, but a complete lack of forward planning and judgement meant you ended up ahead of him anyway.

The correct use of a flash is lost on many. Have a look at the pinned comment! 👍🏼

@@ashley_neal I’m fairly sure he was aware of your presence and even if you were doing it for that reason, it would still have been better to just not signal because it doesn’t matter what you MEANT the signal to be, you have to consider what the recipient will take the signal to mean.

@@ashley_neal I've got to agree with Callum on this one. If I know for a fact a flash or a honk would provoke aggression without a significant benefit, I would avoid it. If a benefit outweighs the potential reaction I would. He was positioned next to a space anyway, so if he drifted right on the roundabout, you and them would be safe.

I was on the M4 just before junction 2 and was stationary and the car next to me, she was putting on makeup and hit the car in front. You could see her surprise look on her face.

out of curiosity, could you also see her surprised look transferred to the airbag? or was it not that hard a hit?

"It's time to put on make up on the muppet show tonight".

6:15 what about eating and drinking at the wheel? is this just as bad as putting make up on?

2:35 isn't that normal if they don't let me in i slow down go in behind

The clip at 8:00 the other person in the car with ashley sounds like Pin from DGN driving school

For the first 2 clips in these situations my driving instructor advised me to preferably put on a right signal when waiting at obstructions if your positioning could be misunderstood

The clip with the lady putting on makeup reminded me of the time I saw my english teacher driving along, brushing his teeth ..... lol

For the final clip, BMW and Audi. Edit: Damn, so close.

00:40 Blue car - without lights and without right indicator on, how would other cars know you're not just parking/parked?

4:30 I have a problem with that overtake (rule 153 of the highway code)

The bad drivers registration numbers should be put on a database so insurance companies can mitigate the risk of insuring them with a higher premium.

There is a part of the road near me where a slip road joins and leaves a multi lane road, if you come down the slip road with a right indicator on people on the main carriageway try to pass then slam on the brakes to join the slip road, now if someone matches me I just carry on back off the road (I can get to my destination either way but they seem a little upset 😈)

9:10 No word on those carpets hahaha

Re: the clip at around 2:00, this is one of the most maddening things I've found while driving. Why do people close down space when you want to change lanes for gods sake, it doesn't affect how fast they get to their journey. Then again, it's the same answer as why people tailgate or brake check - they just don't think.

"No issues with the ovetaking grey car" in clip 5. There were side roads and off road parking areas alongside that road and they didn't complete the manouver before passing one. People dont always check left before turning in that direction only to meet an overtaking car. Two wrongs make a mess.

At 12:30, to be fair. I don't think he forgot that the white car was there, but got rather frustrated by the matching speed. Happens to me a lot of the time as well. People driving slow in front, so I want to overtake them, but unfortunately the truck has a limiter. When I am overtaking they start to match my speed or even speed up again. Straight up bullying.

German & decked out... combo that can be spelled as FWTH (Failure Waiting To Happen).

Was by the monz off queens drive on Monday morning and a AAH delivery van was at the lights all the offside smashed in and driver sat looking into his phone while picking his nose and inspecting it . I wish I’d of filmed it
