I'm impressed by the multi tasking of reverse parking whilst extolling the virtues of Car Vertical.

At around 9:00 for a moment I thought Ashley's accent had undergone a dramatic change until I realized it was the other gent speaking! Glad to see that Ashley got a word in edgeways... just! 😊

Absolutely loved that guy's "One Car" label/theory (I'll be stealing that) and calling out that car's lack of "sports" or "utility"

That vauxhall driver at 8:40 just got outskilled by a learner driver. Wonder how he feels about that.

The first clip of the sheer speed of the van down a narrow residential street with parked cars either side was truly shocking. Can't understand how anyone could feel comfortable at anywhere near that speed.

10:00 He seems like the kind of bloke who could talk all day long

5:10 _They're just the classic 'Can't sit behind a learner'._ As was the car behind. Soon changed their mind when they saw the obstruction in the outside lane, though!

It's always worrying that so many people charge up to junctions and roundabouts without showing any sign of looking or slowing down.

Don't you know that hazards are very much like shields in Star Trek? "Shields up!" and you're pretty much immune to anything

2:12, 2 lads I worked with had this, they stopped at traffic lights on a slight hill and the car in front slowly rolled crept back [inch by inch]until it came to rest touching their front bumper, [the handbrake was slipping and not holding the other car still on the hill] they were confused because the woman in the car was looking at them in the rear view mirror while were car was creeping back towards them, She got out looked at the 2 cars touching bumper to bumper, then walked around to their window and angrily said “I suppose you think that’s that bloody funny, it’s a red light I can’t go anywhere!” She was convinced that she was stationary the whole time and that they were the ones creeping up on her . When they informed her that it was she who rolled back on them she was adamant she hadn’t and stormed off in a huff.

4:20 Straight arrow when you have your own dedicated lane I never knew this, That’s excellent info, thank you

13:19 what annoys me even more are the people who are perfectly legally parked on the side of the road on a parallel park, with cars in front and behind them, yet they still use their hazard lights. Looks to me like they're indicating to get out because all I see is the right indicators. Utterly pointless. A good tip to note for some vehicles is that the indicator flash timing is different to the hazard light flash timing. At least on my Ford Focus, the time the lights are illuminated when the hazards are on is shorter than it is for indication. Say for example the indocator stays on for half a second and off for half a second for it's sequence, for the hazard lights it would be on for a third of a second and off for two thirds of a second. Have used this knowledge to help in situations like this a few times.

Some people drive at speeds way beyond their cognitive function.

Have you not heard? They’re not “hazard warning” lights anymore. They’re now called “I can park anywhere I bloody well like when I’ve got these on” lights.

last clip - buses do this all the time in London, it does my head in because when they are in traffic you cant tell if theyre indicating to come out (give way to buses) or just wasting your time!

Can always tell it's Ashley's car by the tell tale green bonnet

I like that the creeping kept the little girl from crossing. Had it been a single lane I’m sure you would have let her cross but in this situation you also protected her from the car in the second lane.

Last clip Hazards lights… that’s a really good point, just as you say you can only see the right light so it looks like they are about to pull out.

11:25. can’t be bothered to pull into a gap and stops in the middle of the road, often roads like these are so full you can’t park and it is understandable to stop and block the road, but when they don’t even bother it’s really annoying.

13:10 that's one of my biggest bugbears in Liverpool city centre. People park wherever they want and put their hazards on, and then get annoyed when you don't let them out (when in reality as you said half the time you don't realise they're indicating right until it's to late - asauming they indicate at all)

None of these can be as big a fail as the Leeds goalie last night. 😉

10:36 - God that got me good 😂😂😂

9:29 brilliant driving he's had you there

😂 here in Greece hazard lights are primarily used as an excuse for poor or illegal parking, double parking closing 1 lane, parking on bus stops and bus lanes and even parking in spots for disabled people. People just stop at the most insane spots just to grab coffee, food, shop, speak with a friend completely ignoring and not caring if the position of their vehicle restricts traffic flow or even blocks a road. They just put on the hazards and everything is fine. And the best part is that most just start driving again with the hazards still on, some not pressing the brakes either to give an indication 😂

5:42 The Jaguar goes through a red light to let the ambulance through. Thought that was a no-no?

Hazards-on-when-parking has just become a habit, along with two-wheels-on-the-footway-when-parking. There's no thought about it, it's just part of the routine.

What an absolute onecar.

Hmmm…is that a little reminder for me at 12:31 about nudging forward with pedestrians near crossings when the red crossing signal is showing? 😉

It’s frightening how many people use there phones mate in liverpool when driving,

Didn't you know it's legal to park half on the pavement where there are double-yellow lines, as long as you put on your hazards?

That last guy with the poorly parked BMW has stuck an M5 badge on his 520d 🤦‍♂

Has anyone else noticed the bad driving getting worse over the last week or is this just local to us? It seems that since the end of September arrived the level of impatience and stupidity from other road users has gone through the roof We are hoping whatever they have put into the water here has been removed and everyone calms down for our journeys next week and at least mildly behave better than they have been

2:19 is an attempt I think to say ‘look I wasn’t on my phone it’s not in my hand’

13:30 your last clip. Hazard light usuage is my absolute pet hate. I drive the A34 often (weekly), (I know you drive it frequently as well), and the amount of people parked in the lay-byes with Hazards on is ridiculous. If you are parked in a parking space you are not a hazard so don’t use the hazard lights, otherwise those driving along the carriageway will start to think “hazard lights: broken down vehicle? Lane one? Lane two? A different obstruction?” And no, it’s just someone who needed to piss in a bush by a parking spot. I have learnt where all the lay-bys are so can now gauge better if it is an actual hazard or if it is going to be someone parked safely somewhere. But I would not be surprised if people start assuming hazard lights are just someone in a parking area so people driving the main carriageway start not preparing for an actual hazard after seeing hazard lights

At around 6:30 I hate it when another driver does a very close "follow through" on me just as I've passed them , often for no reason. Happens typically when they're making a right turn and I'm going straight (similar to this clip) and also at roundabouts when I've just barely cleared and they come zooming out.

I'm not sure what was more shocking in the first couple of clips, the standard of driving or the video quality. You know you can get 10% off a viofo with the code Ashley ? 🤣

The last clip re don't use hazard lights just for stopping on the left. I remember a video some time ago where you covered this aspect before.

5:30 all over that cycle lane too

At around 12:14, re the Nissan driver likely on their phone. I wonder how many drivers realise that apart from the danger, if caught it's 6 points on your licence. That's half your licence. Plus a fine and apparently a more or less doubling of your insurance premiums. At least, according to CM.

At around 11:25, a virtually identical silver Ford Focus as mine. How embarrassing! Except that mine is decorated with Canadian flags....and I most certainly wouldn't park like that either. I guess this is a good example that you shouldn't stereotype.

I'm going to label this episode 'the selfish *rick collection' 😆

I wonder if that guy at 12:02 was texting to enter that competition on the radio.

One car! Brilliant.

@4:42...It's been a while, but is it manoeuvre, signal mirror? (!)

9:38 "One car"

9:25 "Booting it" on an amber light to beat the car on your left. 😅

great video, ash. ty

2:30 if they can pass a driving test, so can you!

Half the people who park with hazards could well have just used their left signal. Then there'd also be a notable change when their right signal comes on. My wife and I call them Weapon Lights.

The most shocking thing in this video has to be, at 1:45, the BMW driver not crossing the stop line at the lights when there wasn't room to fit behind Ashley and his student... Its almost as if they knew Ashley had just asked that question about the silver car 😂

0:32, This is exactly the type of road where the 20MPH limit is actually needed, and not on the larger roads like the idiots did in Wales.

Van driver probably on a deadline. Driving to deadline rather than circumstances can be a BIG mistake. Always allow extra time for a journey. Amazing the difference it makes to your attitude.

People using hazard lights while illegally parked annoy me for the exact reason you mentioned. There _is_ a benefit to reaching the next set of lights five seconds sooner btw: say the complete cycle of the traffic lights takes 90 seconds. Getting there five seconds later means a 5 in 90 (1 in 18) chance the lights are going red when you arrive and you're going to eat an avoidable 60-second delay before the lights go green again. If you're driving a bus that 60 seconds matters.

Wasn't the private hire in the second clip a Wolverhampton one?

That lead on the dog is too long at 8:07 Short leads people, short leads to stop your dog suddenly running out into the road

The van driver in the first clip seems like the type of driver that believes speed limits aren’t needed as everyone should know how to drive sensible yet would be the first to shout at someone else for driving too fast if a pedestrian got hit. Of course if he hit a pedestrian then it wouldn’t be his fault as the pedestrian should’ve looked before crossing or if it was a child then the parents should be holding the childs hand 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Audi isn’t really “a piece of shit” though. The driver may be but they do make good cars.

Van driver makes my blood boil.

Ever notice that in shopping centers/ retail park's. Women more than men. Will hunt for the nearest parking slot closest to the shop they require. Even though all shops have facilities to bring your purchases with ease to your vehicle. 🤔🇮🇪🇪🇺

When the advertisment comes, I stop looking. Good work but please advertisement first of better last in the vids. Thank you
