Like in clip #2, I had a similar incident occur to me one day. Instead of being on the highway, I was behind the person pulling on to the highway. At the bottom of the ramp an old biddy, who resembled a cotton ball with spider legs driving pulled out into the traffic lane and stopped dead! She not only caused the drivers behind her to slam hard on the brakes, but also caused the drivers in the first lane to panic stop as well. I was lucky enough to anticipate this and kept some distance, but other drivers weren't so lucky. There were multiple crashes, all fender bender type bumps, with lots of broken headlights and glass everywhere. I stayed and assisted people and missed my concert I was heading to. Ms. Biddy continued on her merry way completely oblivious to the chaos she had caused. People like that need to have their license pulled!

No need to even change lanes. Just keep a reasonable gap to the car in front and the corsa was fine. Instead the mondeo closed the gap then when the corsa slowed to go behind where there was another perfectly good gap the mondeo also braked to block them. Terrible inconsistent driving and 100% the mondeos fault. The corsa did the correct and safe thing not to merge until sure. Its so important to have the skill to control others merging with your own position and speed.

The American mentality of that lane is closing, you shouldn't be in it has seeped over to British driver mentality even when the instructions are clear in the Highway Code, make full use of the road to reduce queues particularly during Busy times, and merge in turn. We should all be driving in a manner which creates the best flow for all road users, but there are a growing number of ignoramus out there who simply don't care about others on the road. Infact yesterday I was just about run off the road by a driver in the wrong lane on a roundabout, they tried to overtake me on the roundabout and cut infront of me instead of doing the sensible thing and going around the damn thing, all because they were in a rush to get to Starbucks for a coffee. Edit: regarding my close call, they hadn't even fully passed me before they started to move over. I blasted the horn and they slowed down and moved back across while I was also slowing to take avoiding action but I very quickly began to accelerate to get the hell away from them. And gave them the appropriate pointing at the lane markings followed up by the tosser hand sign for their ignorant actions.

Had the pedestrian used the crossing instead, they might very well have avoided being hit by the cyclist who rightly bears most of the blame in this situation, they were going just to fast for the road conditions to be able to stop safely, and even if the pedestrian wasn't there then your right, they probably would have clipped the bus. And just to clarify, I'm not saying pedestrians shouldn't cross the roads unless they are using a marked crossing, I'm saying that if a marked crossing is there, use it, because its usually there for a reason. And when crossing where there is no marked crossing, take a bit of extra care.

If they have em for bus lanes and speeding, they are bound to have em for Red Lights somewhere. Effectively without a form of fixed identity tag for Cyclists we have no way of identifying the Cyclist in cases where they are at fault and have failed to stop beyond a reasonable doubt, that is by giving a description of the clothing and color of bike which is what most people will likely see, that description at that moment could very well describe 10 others in some places. Now I admit reg plates aren't perfect in regards to cars as some times we don't see the full reg or even a partial reg on a car when a car is at fault and has failed to stop. I get it Cyclists involved in accidents 8 times out of 10 are the victims not at fault in a accident but what about the other 2 when they are at fault? Wouldn't you agree that in regards to the Cyclists who brake the rules. Something is better than nothing? Edit: obviously I don't know you or anything about you, for all I know you could be a good cyclist who obeys the rules of the road as they currently exist, who cycles at a speed appropriate for the conditions, etc etc and if you are, then those who don't obey the rules within the cycling community give you a bad name.

There are two lanes there for a reason. It's ok to use both of them. And if the other driver illegally closes a gap on a merge in turn because they're offended by something they imagined I was saying, that's 100% on them.

@@saginata illegally close the gap? No such law bud. Closest you can get is a recommendation in the highway code. But those whose lane isn't closing have right of way. There's no law forcing anyone to let you in, you sit there and you wait for someone to allow you in. Highway Code Rule 134: "In congested road conditions do not change lanes unnecessarily. Merging in turn is recommended but only if safe and appropriate when vehicles are travelling at a very low speed, e.g. when approaching road works or a road traffic incident. It is not recommended at high speed." So, yeah. You are relying on the generosity of the people who you are overtaking and what they think of it is definitely your problem because not a single one of them have to let you in under any laws.

7:20 / #17 you being American may not be ware that in the UK the Highway Code has been updated to say that cyclists must give way to pedestrians.

Yeah but if cyclist was going a little bit slower, doing a more appropriate speed for the braking conditions or the pedestrian used the marked crossing, chances are the collision would never have happened in my opinion. The cyclist because Ashley Neil posted a video a while back of a cyclist who wasn't able to stop in similar conditions. And had a similar amount of braking distance available to them. When we're road users, we gotta find a balance between speed and safety, excess speed sacrifices safety excess safety sacrifices speed.

lmao classic drivist, gotta pin it on the cyclist somehow! The Highway code states "The rules in The Highway Code do not give you the right of way in any circumstance, but they advise you when you should give way to others. Always give way if it can help to avoid an incident". The pedestrian should not have been crossing the road there, end of. No point in blaming the cyclist for not being able to stop on a dime in wet weather. But if you disagree, please feel free to prove me wrong by wandering aimlessly into traffic, preferably in the course of a 16 wheeler!

@@captainweekend5276 I got nothing against Cyclists. I got an issue with those who put speed over safety unnecessarily. In this case the cyclist. But given your response. Your the classic Cyclists can do no wrong ofcourse so you wouldn't care about others opinions when they put the blame where it belongs. In this case the cyclist.. If it was a Motorbike we'd be blaming the motorbike. Don't dignify this with a response you've already lost the argument by telling us to go kill ourselves.

#16 could of easily been avoided if the van moved back over to the left but I bet he’d sat in the middle lane for 40 miles.

Wow, that's quite a bet to make based on literally a single second of footage between it fully fading in, and the collision. Doesn't seem like a safe bet to me. That said, the footage does start with the black car (that will later be crashed into) turning off from the left lane. Given it gets hit in the crash later on and everyone was moving at *roughly* the same speed, we know that the three vehicles were all at *roughly* the same distance away, which means the van probably couldn't be in the left lane without being uncomfortably close to (if not outright barging into) that car. Heck, it's entirely possible it was only in the second lane specifically to overtake that car. Who knows? Tell you what I am sure of; #16 could have been even more easily avoided if the silver car hadn't _rammed into the back of the van_ . I'd bet on that.

I bet the van had moved over to the middle lane to allow traffic to join at the junction just ahead.

Cyclist at the end didn't give a shit. Had he been hit by a car he'd be crying and rolling like a football player.

0:45 oh my days the Ford could have literally just moved over to let them in, nothing in the middle lane for ages.

#6 Merger lanes are one of the most stupid things ever invented especially when coming off roundabouts... A lot of them here near York treat them like race lanes to beat other cars, and the majority of the time there is massive traffic jams on ours because of the merger lane. Which simply causes more of a tailback with traffic.
