8:16 As a bus driver I see that a lot, cars just waiting behind when they have an opportunity to pass. On one occasion I stopped at a unused bus stop with my hazard lights (parked) to get some lunch (it is legal and didn't cause an obstruction) When I walked to the back there was a queue of traffic due to one driver thinking I was part of the imaginary traffic. I instructed her to move around the bus since I was clearly parked at a bus stop. The problem was she was following so closely and not paying attention to my intentions, so she couldn't see what was happening ahead. I found the whole situation funny.

I have made that mistake many time what the wagon driver has made. Thought I would not dream I've rectify it at the last minute by crossing the white marked Lines. They are there for a reason. I have gone many many miles out of my way rather than making that mistake mistake. If you miss your turning you've miss you turning carry on rectify it at the next junction don't risk a life

As regards to the type of people parking as close as they can legally or illegally to shops etc it usually translates to the fact that they are lazy,impatient and easily distracted drivers too eg cutting corners/roundabouts, using mobile phones and as we watched driving over pavements. To top it off he did not even signal as he pulled away.

Being from near Liverpool and driving there a couple times a week, as soon as you get through the tunnel or over the bridge I’ve realised the rules of the road do not apply in most cases. Most of the drivers lack any kind of patience or understanding.

You must have the patience of a saint to do your job, I know I couldn’t. How you teach people to drive correctly surrounded by people who couldn’t care less about anyone else or how they drive I’ll never know. I wouldn’t want to be starting to learn to drive again.

Time to put cameras at traffic lights, me rhinks

I drive pretty much all over the country, today I have been to raf woodvale and when i was on my way back approaching the lights at the top of the m57 heading towards runcorn, I was shocked at the amount of people I witnessed running the red ligjts, I had to wait for two cycles before I could proceed as the lights change fairly quickly. But I have driven near the city and I can honestly say that its one of the worst areas in the uk.

'Priority is given - not taken' I gave up doing advanced driver training because my instructors couldn't tell me why I had to do X Y Z, just that it was safer. In short, just do it to pass the final driving test. I watch these vid's and learn. The starting quote shows a failure of mine that I'd never thought about, but it resonated with me immediately. I may not be the best driver in the world, but I have just become a mentally better adjusted one that will practice that quote. Thanks for the vids, keep 'em up!

Wasnt a single crash or incident here in Belfast at all during 'lockdown' As soon as everything opened theres hasnt been a day wothout major traffic or a crash, especialy on the main road through and out of the city. I have been working non stop from this crap started and driving to and from work was a dream, now its getting to be a fucking nightmare again.

As a professional driver, I love seeing dangerous drivers like a see everyday of the week.

The increased stress and pressure many people are experiencing due to lockdown and the recession is possibly reflected in their driving - i.e less patience and concentration, more risks taken, more selfish.

That Volvo lorry driver. I think what was worse was aside from planning he probably just thought he'd choose any lane and steer wherever. I will say though Ashley a cyclist reported a few people to police for using phone behind wheel. It was on a TV series This Morning. How about you start too? He also said when he was asked why it's any of his business, we need to keep our roads safer. The people he reported even lost their license for 6 months and got 6 points.

My favourite thing to get stuck behind is 3 lorries having a race across all lanes on a motorway while the one on the far right lane decides to start 'pretending' to sideswipe the one in the middle lane, finally gets far ahead enough to pull in front (Barely missing the lorry cab of the middle laner) and then having a circus show of the middle laner pulling out to try to overtake. Rinse and repeat for a good 15 mins

I have noticed since the lockdown eased, the quailty of driving is at its worst. People running red lights, taking chances pulling out of junctions, and thats to name a couple.

Great video again Ashley, do you think drivers are becoming more careless because they know they can get away with it due to the lack of police presence?

Ashley, you should do a bit of driving in Florida where you'd see more careless/dangerous driving in 10mins there than you would in 10 months in UK. Your video is normal driving there.

Real world entertainment, love it. Incidentally VW Golf whippersnappers are worse than BMW drivers.

I remember seeing loads of red light jumpers in Liverpool the one time I drove through it last year. I was waiting at a light that was green, but I couldn't clear and didn't want to block the junction, light turned red and a car overtook me, drove through the red and blocked the junction 🙈 saw a few examples in my hour attempt to leave the city. I thought the roads in Leeds were bad but I'd never seen light jumpers as blatant, or driving as inconsiderate as I saw in Liverpool.

I like your video it's got a lot of great points and a lot of idiots on the road full stop but in all fairness the wagon that shot the red light did not have time to break. You must remember these wagons are carrying huge loads and sudden braking can shift the Load. He was too close to the red light to stop. Give credit where it's due

I'm sure to catch a lot of flack for this. I am from and in Bermuda. Always heard how tough the driving test is in England, so I would expect better. It is either people immediately forget how they drove during their test, or licenses are being given away by the DVLA (and TCD here)! I admit, I am not very patient when people do stupid things! Most people don't seem switched on to what is around and/or going on around them!

It seems to me Ashley, that there are a large minority of drivers in and around Liverpool / Merseyside, who, if they are made to wait even 20 or 30 seconds longer than they deem acceptable, whether at a junction or set of traffic lights then they seem to go absolutely nuts!

Driving used to be enjoyable, now it feels that everyone drives so selfishly these days without any consideration whatsoever for anyone else. Sad times.

I started noticing all the idiots on the roads about a month or 2 ago and honestly thought people had forgotten how to drive but when i actually sit and think about it we have all become so used to it that for the most part they got ignored up until now. During lockdown it was all the boy racers out on the streets flying about and getting caught simply because the police had empty roads to set up traps and catch them :D Once lockdown ended oh boy was there so many accidents and idiots near where i live!

It's when they're clearly in the wrong like the van driver on the phone but they shout at you as if we're to blame! People's driving and parking is absolutely shocking from what I'm seeing now. Need more traffic police on the roads as you hardly see any now.

*shudder* lorries scare me, especially since I had one coming right at me as he was driving on the wrong side of the road. I had a couple of seconds to move out of the way and luckily I was in the perfect place at the perfect time, otherwise, I may not be here now typing this!

At the time the lorry driver has seen the traffic lights are green there is no chance of stopping. Why would someone cross at a junction when they should see the traffic is moving?

2:19 - I had something similar happen. She dropped the cup down the side of the car. Luckily most of it went down the side of the outside, but a few drops went inside the car. To be fair, they were very good about it. I just went in and obtained a copy of their liability insurance documentation. I got the car valeted, washed, and the door card removed and cleaned inside. Their insurance paid fully for the £750 worth of work, and when I wrote to their customer complaints department, they were even good enough to send me £50 in vouchers for free food. It shows that getting angry and violent is never worth it. Remain calm, collect fact, document everything. In the long run, it's always fincially beneficial.

I've noticed such a difference in the last couple of weeks on the roads, especially the motorways and dual carriageways. During lockdown driving was really nice, everyone just happy chilling at 70mph mostly in the left or middle lane, now it's more busy you get people undertaking, middle lane hogging, not indicating and just sharply changing lanes, it's so much more tense. Local roads not much better, lot more idiots pulling out in front of you causing a need to slam on the brakes, I miss lockdown roads.

I've also rediscovered how poor people are at driving (that's just the past few weeks). Also, I get the impression that they give vent to their frustration from being locked-down for so long.

I was behind a transit van last week on way home from work and after following him for a couple of miles, we both had stopped at some traffic lights, when deciding he had enough of the red light, calmly drove off at least a minute before it had changed to green, caught up with him further up the road where he decided to change lane without checking his mirrors and nearly hitting me, from when I first came across him and parted ways, the guy was clearly too busy chatting to his mate beside him, yet if you beep them to warn you of your presence, they get funny with you even though they are the crap driver.

A mate of mine went to buy a BMW from a dealer and asked, 'Where's the indicators?'. 'What are they?', was the reply!

8:05 there was nothing wrong with that clip, there's a roundabout literally right next to the bus stop, you don't know if the bus is breaking to slow down to come onto the roundabout or if hes coming to a stop at the bus stop. By the time it becomes apparent that the bus is stopping, you're already in the right hand lane at speed so he cant just move over after slowing down.

The truck is at least 18 tons of rage at 5:23 .. I'd let it go on its way .. seemingly in a hurry and not entirely caring of the surroundings.. Gotta love people who just have to cut in front of you just to reach the other side of the road to get into the turning lane they could reach behind you in 2 more seconds .. The virus is 'gone' so life returns to the good old 'rush where you can, time is money' .. instead of planning forth and evaluating all possibilities.

That was a Public Information Film from Mr Health n Safety

At first with the poor planning lorries towards the end. I thought that's not that bad he did move across to the right, over all three lanes, abit late but it was in time. Then he starts to move back...

3:30 - I think the problem with that street is that it's too wide and there are no lane markings so it gives the impression (despite the signage) that it's 2 way, because it _seems_ wide enough to accomodate 2 cars travelling in opposite directions. Personally (and I'm still relatively inexperienced), I find I spend a lot more time looking at the car in front of me than on road signs, so perhaps better markings and arrows painted on the road, (or even left turn only arrows on the driveways) might help educate drivers. You did a video a while ago about how local knowledge can be deceiving. Could it also be that it used to be a 2 way street, which is also what is leading so many people to do this?

If we're recounting idiots, I have many stories, one that comes to mind is the day I had a car do an illegal u-turn right in front of me without indicating forcing me to slam on the brakes, cursed a bit and went back on my way, only for a second driver to do the EXACT same thing, not 200 yards in front of me, this time not long after leaving a roundabout! It's baffling sometimes, there was another roundabout not far up the road where they could have made a u-turn, not to mention a car park on their left they could have easily turned around in! As for people pulling out between stopped cars, this terrified me when I was on my scooter, you go slow but it happens all the time, not peeping and not creeping, sometimes they don't see you when there aren't any obstructions and you're wearing a high vis jacket with lights on, some of them will move their cars over to try and stop you filtering through traffic, as if they are so mad that you are able to pass that they feel they have to threaten you with their vehicles, I'm allowed to filter, you are protected from the elements, seems like a fair trade-off to me, plus when it's clear you can easily reach your destination faster than I can! Always expect the unexpected, I can understand people make mistakes, we're all human, but people can be downright reckless, especially when they are in a rush, struggling to get to work on time? Leave 20 minutes earlier, then you won't have to rush!
