Hey there fella thank you for that, just away at the moment so not answering many comments. Taking part in the Scottish National Road Rally this weekend on my motorbike, got here yesterday after 8 hours travelling. All the best.
Agree with other comments re the ute driver. Also agree with comments about this crop of drivers??? Was there a full moon when you were on the road? That road was like a snake with belly ache. Waiting for the old gent on his scooter to "light them up" as he crossed the road. Like the painting/photo of the ERF on the truck. Never drove a truck .heard many a tale about the "good old days" of trucking though. Stay safe.
They need to see body cam footage from plod, showing them the impact of doing this overtake, but not being lucky. Hearing the screams for help, see the unfortunate that have not made it.
Trucktastic video wouldn’t be the same without a bit of Rex. Such a difference from old cam to your new one .I think tosspot/bellend did that on purpose. 14:47was that a tandem bike or were they very close together.?? Omg that road with grass in the middle .. you reversing is on pointe. 🖖🏻
Trucktastic video. The boyfriend was laughing so much when Rex gave her a little scare lol. 10:17 what a w⚓️ in the tanker . Loved the little deep archive. Did he think it was Christmas Day lol. Did Rex go to the wedding.?? lol
Awesomeasaurus video . Got to love a bit of Rex .9:04; I was breathing in for you hope it helped lol. I bet some drivers buttock clench when they come round a corner and see your truck on those country lanes. Lol. Drive safe out there
Hi Mate Wow!! that must be some one important , in a SUV with a private number plate so that means he's Highway Code exempt so double white lines means nothing to him and also her does not need to have a MOT, insurance or own the car, but when you see this sort of driver and have video evidence you must show this to the police so they can keep checks on this car and send him a lovely letter to tell him we have seen this and we will send him a lovely gift in the post, which will be nice for him. Stay safe mate catch you soon
Definitely the pickup drivers fault you don’t turn around at a junction like that. I always wear my seat belt when you see what happens when a truck rolls over it will save your life. Another great video mate have a great week.
Or worse, explaining to his Mrs what he's done to the kids... What an "entitled" arseclown. Just because he's running late for the MGIF Club meeting, doesn't mean he can use his X-Ray vision for dangerous overtaking.
That's about as lunatic as that idiot I videoed a year or two back - the clown in the van, overtaking about four cars in a single pass, in a series of bends on the A614. I sent my video to the police via the Nextbase/Police national portal. He was dealt with by way of "formal proceedings".....
It's a pity you cannot report drivers like that as he will continue these dangerous overtakes until he is either prosecuted or involved in an incident.
@isthatujeebus Cloudmaker has had problems in the past reporting drivers such as this one in his area. If it was in Lancashire, then I would have no hesitation in filing a report, and I'm sure they would have taken action.
Like most rule breaking, if they get away with it every time it becomes normal. You've done your best by highlighting this driver and now it's up to others to do the right thing. Will the authorities be in touch ? Let's see
I'm guessing by your reaction to the bike passing you that you've never been a rider of a big bike. They're like a fly, so much faster than you the dangers are completely different.
Hello mate I have to tell you that as a lifelong rider that I've never owned a bike bigger than 1000cc, nowadays my biggest is only 700 or rather 680cc and that's mainly due to the weight these days as I'm now in my seventh decade. I know of the dangers and the exhilaration of riding fast but my thought process has always been asking what if, say for instance you had riders coming the other way they'd be on you on that bend instantly. I know he got by but it was only his luck that a faster rider wasn't coming the other way. The same goes for overtaking on chevrons, bikers fly by thinking it is their personal overtaking lane, but what if a biker coming the other way thinks that too? We've had too much loss of life in this area already, worse was a couple of weeks ago when 5 bikers were killed in 35 minutes around Buxton. I have seen the result of bikers dying in head on crashes with other riders and it isn't as uncommon as you might think. I did make a video to try and point it out, if you'd care to give me your reaction it is here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GIbSlnkhVU4.html Thank you for commenting. Ride safe and happy.
Just told the missus what you'd written, we both had a good laugh at that, thank you.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 All the best. Hang on are you typing that comment from some far off land or haven't you gone yet? All the best.
Thank you for that mate and yes not much point of a triangle to warn traffic as you can see the vehicle more than the warning by that stage! Just got in and now it's a two week break, heading north on Thursday to Inverness, 8 hours travelling! Crikey I'll need a holiday after that. All the best mate.
OMFG! You've caught some prize turds in this one! They just keep coming! 🤣🤣 I bet their mothers are proud. Ooh, goodie! Archives! First up, in the ute.. "arseclown" springs to mind... and at 0:24, we have a floG in a Golf! Nice denial! Make them take the long way. 🤣🤣 1:18 Any reasonable driver would be expecting Mr Richford to complete the turn & scoot along, not perform an illegal U turn in an intersection. I can tell you from experience (& the pain associated with too much enjoyment of those Schadenfreude moments! 🤣🤣) that over here, if Mr Richford were to try that on & have me T bone him, he wouldn't have a valid reason for that "turn", only excuses. My "Mr Richford" moments ended badly for both of them, with written off vehicles & a stack of fines & points big enough to sit on. 👍🏼 Rex Rides again! 👍🏼👍🏼 At the rate he's going, it won't be long before he flies the coop & starts his own channel! He's having way too much fun! 🤣🤣 You'd have to be a stone cold soul to not (at least) crack a smile for Rex! 6:15 Nice of you to give plenty of room for the merg... WTF was that? A BMW driver thanking you? With blinker fluid? Glad I'm sitting down! 🤣🤣 8:39 Not only he ain't got no seatbelt, he ain't got no chin! One of my 4WD's has a sticker: "No airbags: We die like real men". At least we wear seatbelts. 9:20 It all becomes clear... You're heading for the "Highway To Hell"! (A666) 🤣🤣 10:06 Is his name Ken Stoopid, professional Eejit? (Thanks, Shaun! 👍🏼🤣🤣) 12:40 That's now a thing... a cow park. Where "dim witted touristy" types park where they like... to look at cows. 13:51 Look, on the left! Is that Postman Pat? 19:53 What a Muppet. 3 seconds. You'd have been past him by then. I was expecting application of the "teaching horn" at 20:04! 🤣🤣 20:43 Is that Schnizentight Lane? Just as well you didn't have to turn right into there.
Hello Kevin, don't think I've ever been up that lane at 20:43. I love the sound of that airbag sticker Kevin, we share a similar sense of humour I think. The thing that surprised me about the Richford clip was his attitude just as much as his actions. As you mention Rex he did have his own section on You Tube but it was a bit of a running joke that every time I uploaded a Rex video people unsubscribed from the channel, almost every time without exception. I came to the conclusion pretty quickly that folks wanted controversial rather than nice videos, human nature I guess. You know I wondered if you'd notice the A666 road number after it's recent mention. Good observations again Kevin. All the best and thank you for that comment, first class as usual.
As an ex professional motorcycle rider, now in my 60th year on two wheels, the car did see the motorcycle and indeed stopped allowing more than enough space for the motorcycle to manoeuvre through the gap. Yes indeed the driver of the car may have been a little slow in reacting but there could be many reasons for the delay, none of which was mentioned. The motorcyclist was driving his motorcycle correctly and at a speed suitable for the circumstance, the only criticism must be why the need to stop? All users of the highway experience incidents such as this every minute of every day, many go unnoticed of course but that is because they simply coped or were blind to the possible danger. I suspect this is just one more video for the sake of making a video to continue the income stream or to enjoy the opportunity to be a drama queen. Neither a near miss nor a close call, simply an exercise of slow speed bike control and learn from it.
Hello mate.. Watching you reversing in that country lane bloody amazing.. There's a hell of lot people on the roads who can't reverse to save thier lives on a normal road
Thank you so much for that it is much appreciated. I'd already rung that farmer and told him what time I'd be there but he got held up so that's why we ended up reversing so far. I couldn't have gotten into that gateway from the other direction but even I was surprised I managed to get it in and in one go too. I always say when it just goes right that it's more luck than judgement! 😉👍😁😁Thank you for the comment.
2:00 The idiot in the pickup needs to turn in his license and never drive again - that was insane!!! You can't do a U-turn in a junction that is not clear. He should have turned left and found a place to turn around where no other vehicles were. Mercy!!! I think driveways on main roads in the UK should be required to be an arc shape with two entry points or have enough space to drive straight in and turn around so they can drive straight out. A friend had a house on a main road that was widened to four lanes, making for a very shallow (for here) front yard. As part of the compensation for taking their land, they had an arc driveway installed so they would never have to back out into the road. Do you ever want to take the front end off the idiots who pull out beyond the a$$hole line? Parking in the UK is bonkers!! Tight lane, great job of backing up!!
An arc driveway sounds a great idea but if we all had one we'd need more space, more like the size of America perhaps. As for taking off the front end of some vehicles in the wrong place, well, I've not shown that video yet! But I can tell you it had a happy ending as the Nigerian who had borrowed the car from his Wife to get to work, ended up with a much better car. I actually ran into him months later and he thanked me for running over his old car! Still don't know if that one will make it to air. Thank you for commenting, have a great week, I've just finished to have a two week break, will be taking the motorbike up to Scotland on Thursday, almost 8 hours away, I'll need another break to get over that journey, to take part in the Scottish National Road Rally which I've done now since 2017. A few years back conditions were so bad only sixteen of us finished! Hoping for weather like last year, the only year to see no rain at all. 🏍👍😁
First clip was a #Remington moment...... that shave was a lot closer than a blade 😮. I am saying nowt else due to my original comment being deleted by YT..... the berks!
Hello Graham, when I get a reminder from YT about how a comment may not be published I like to play around with spellings and spacings just to see where the line is drawn. Yes that first one was one of those moments for sure, very close. Have a good week Graham.
Hello Frank I think they need to see some of the crazy things on some of these accident videos as many don't go out through the windscreen, but out of a side window believe it or not. Apart from the safety aspect the fines are much bigger for commercial vehicle drivers so I can't see why they'd risk it in the first place. All the best Frank.
Hell's bells a BMW using the hazard lights / indicators to say thanks for letting them in, (6:40). I had to sit down with a strong drink after seeing that. 🤔.🤣. One way you can spot a professional lorry driver is by the difference in colour between the Right & Left forearm. 😉.
Hello Steve surely it can't be that easy to be classified as a professional driver, oh wait I might have passed that test! Thank you for the comment Steve, all the best.
Hey I remember the 60's too Geoff! Going in the dark early in a morning to tip at Trafford Park and still been back to catch the school bus! Not sure what the year was when the quarry down here was taking tarmac to the new M60, think it was called the M63 back then, anyway there was a load of wagons all together and they couldn't find it! The piece they were doing was 24-25 and they couldn't find the way in to J24 as it is now. I can remember going with Dad to look at the new Seddon wagons at the dealers in Clay Cross, must have been about the time it became Seddon Atkinson. Thank you for the memory jig Geoff, all the best.
@@cloudmaker Many moons ago, I heard a saying that went along the lines of: "If you can remember the 60's you were either straight... or not there." 🤣🤣 I suppose, it's what should be expected from a hippie! 🤣🤣
@@andrewiow6327 Hello there I can't remember anyone local having an Austin of any sort. I couldn't even imagine how long it took to get to Scotland from down there, I'm going up on Thursday and it'll be almost 8 hours one way on today's roads for me. There couldn't have been many from the Isle of Wight that got to experience a long journey like that in those days. Did it inspire you to become a lorry driver too, I wonder. Thank you for the comment. Since typing this comment I've looked up the Austin wagons, what a lovely curved windscreen they had. All the best.
@@KevinD_33x150 Oh I remember the sixties alright. We got a colour telly and some of the neighbours came round to see the moon landings, only to find most of it was in black and white! There was even a third TV channel launched in the 60's. I also lost an ear in a fight in about 68-69, had it sewn back on at local hospital, got a jelly baby for been a brave little boy! Some memories have been subconsciously repressed like getting scalded and loosing the skin from my chest around my neck, still have those scars. Happier ones were learning to ride a bike (my sisters) and my first proper bike, it had solid tyres! Getting my own saw, with which I was later to fell a tree on the lane just as my dad was driving along with his Albion. Oh what a bollocking I got, it regrew into a strange and twisted tree as a result. Wouldn't have described myself as a hippie but did sport the hair of one in earlier years!
Rex is becoming a trucking star. It's nice having company in the truck, even though the conversation is one way 😊. When I was tramping out for a week and my own truck I had a bear 4 foot tall weighing about 40lbs. He was quite a handful. He sat in the passenger seat with a seat belt. His name was Dai Bear🏴 he is a taffy so I had to call him David, Dai.
Hello Helen love the sound of that bear, both me and the missus are very fond of bears and calling each other certain types of bear, usually grumpy bear, gravy bear that sort of thing, we've been doing it since the 80's.....calling each other bear names I mean! 😉👍🤣 A 40lbs bear wouldn't go down too well with the boss today, he's already mentioned he'd get a better payload if the 'driver' lost a bit of weight! All the best Helen.
Oh there is no doubt in my mind that I'm in full agreement with you on this one but he was very insistent that I was at fault. Actually there were a few that said that I was at fault when that first came out, I'm assuming they aren't watching anymore, due to the level of intelligence needed as described in the channel rules for viewing! Thank you for the comment Mike.
@@cloudmaker Indeed! "The Rules" have been made for many reasons, all of which some fail to follow. The potatoes for grey matter explains the lack of suitable intelligence for understanding the simplest of tasks. 👍🏼🤣🤣
Hey there, how about this, watch it with the sound off and with subtitles on then laugh or wince as tech tries to spell some of those words! Thank you for commenting Dave.
Hi Mate, hope your well, That eejit at the start cutting across those lanes to exit off the motorway and that one on the roundabout in the blue Golf in wrong lane cutting you up and the silver Merc. Rex is getting more popular every week it won't be long he's going to get his own wagon. that biker (10:20) what was the point in that what he did. More trips down narrow lanes, that tickles me white lines on single track road, try driving to the left of the line in a car never mind in a wagon, another great video driving amongst eejits. Look after your self and stay safe, Take care mate
Hello Shaun, biker's on the Cat and Fiddle are always doing that, racing up to the pub then have to stop to let the adrenalin out. Bet he never even noticed the fantastic scenery on the way up there either. Thank you for commenting Shaun stay safe and well this week fella. Oh and Rex sends his love! 🐶💋❤️
@@KevinD_33x150 Hi Kevin, doing well mate my Dad he's doing ok just a bit slow he's getting by. How's your self hope every thing is good for you. Thanks for asking
@@shaun30-3-mg9zs Sounds good! 👍🏼 All good this end, well, sort of. The father in laws' brother passed away last week, after a bacterial infection made it's way into his heart & other organs. He did well, making it to 93! His funeral is this Thursday. Having met only a few families on the wife's side, I was surprised when my brother in law said there may be as many as 300+ there & that's just family! You could have knocked me down with a breeze! Then he tells me how big some of those families are, all having between 3 & 13 kids! Didn't they have TV? 🤣🤣 Yep, you can see why I had to ask. 👍🏼 On a happier note, we're expecting grand kid number 4(a), mid-October.
@@KevinD_33x150 Hi Kevin, sorry for your loss, 93 is a good age hope he had a wonderful life. Good new on being grandparents on No4 Baby sitting duties, all the best
