It's less that they suck, it's more that, a VPN does not provide you any security or privacy on the internet. The fact that companies like Nord/Surfshark et al says it does, does not make it so. I could give you 50 reasons but... The terminology is broken. "Private" meaning private network. A virtual private network cannot be definition route to a public one. It's no longer private. So it's a Virtual Public network (or an edge/boundary node route). It doesn't even provide anonymity. A VPN is for encapsulating traffic between two PRIVATE networks over an insecure PUBLIC network. (or for aggregations/ip saving/balancing which we can leave)

How is being one of only half a dozen passengers on a bus ‘more eco friendly than driving a single occupancy vehicle’? The bus is trundling around all day, doing many many more miles than any single passengers ever travel, and does so regardless of how many or how few passengers are on board. Furthermore, it does far less to the gallon than a car. Conversely, the car is only travelling from A to B, and from B to A, possibly via C on the way. The engine running time and fuel consumed are always a fraction of the engine running time fuel consumption of the bus in one day. , Therefore unless you can demonstrate that each bus passenger mile is more economical (when taking into account the totality of the fuel used throughout the day) there is no case for your claim. There’s a lot of silly virtue signalling going on in relation to the environmental issues. The demonisation of carbon, one of the three building blocks of life on Earth, without any evidence or means of verifying the data being used, is not only highly suspect from a scientific and legal standpoint, it is demonstrably irresponsible and dangerous to all humanity. Indeed, the measures being put into place to combat the alleged threat of carbon and its alleged harm to the climate and environment, are in fact already far more dangerous than the claimed threats. Plants grow due to photosynthesis, the process of converting carbon and water into chlorophyll with the help of sunlight. Plants grow better in greenhouses to a great extent because of the higher concentration of carbon and sunlight. We learned that in our first biology lesson aged 11.

@@G58 Easy. Add up all the miles each passenger travel by bus in a day, divide that with the number of miles the bus drove that day, and you have total utilization of the bus. Divide that number with the rate of emissions compared to a car. Do the same for your car, and compare the numbers. Even if the bus is 3 times more polluting per mile than your car, if it carries 3 times as many passengers as occupants in your car, it's on par with your car. Any number of passenger above that, and the bus wins

For those of us who use multiple modes of transport and vehicles on a regular basis, we're are the ones with the fuller appreciation of the highway code and how to manage traffic and space around us. These are qualities you need to embody in to each journey you make and use them to set an example to other road users (one of the duties the police actually has when using the roads too, although, I often wonder about their levels of training and attitudes some days too!). Driving on public roads is never a race and right of way of never a given, it must be a collaborative exercise which keeps every other user moving and safe. I love this channel - it should be a required supplement to the driving test!
@pipandbenji
@pipandbenji 2 года назад
Agreed Using multiple modes of transport does give you a much wider view of how to behave on the road. I drive a car like many, but for work use a van (often with trailer attached) and every so often a large tractor with trailer. It makes me think ahead more as you need to be always assessing available road space and also your speed may be lower so you think about what you can do to minimise holding up other traffic while still getting on with your own journey. It still baffles me that so many on the road would rather cause mayhem and obstruction for themselves and others through impatience and actually make their journey take longer than by using observation and common sense to help keep everyone moving. Great channel, certainly has helped my driving
@1over137
@1over137 2 года назад
Yep. Drove a large van for the first time a few years back. Had a narrow miss with an idiot. 50/50 blame, 100%. I needed to exit left into a off ramp from a motorway. Same left, 2 lane slip is used for joining, leaving and through traffic. As always I approach, stablised speed and watched the joining traffic to my left until it was clear. FULL blindspot shoulder check left. Glance out front. Scrutinised the mirror and the blind spot mirror, CLEAR and began moving over. BEEEEEEP!!!! A small white Mini appeared braking out of my blind spot. I jinked away too. They moved to the left lane and I moved in. I was completely amazed and slightly annoyed that nobody told me there is an ACTUAL blind spot in long wheel based vans that you CANNOT see into, even with some of the little blind spot mirrors. To be honest the convex mirrors on this van allowed me to see the whole hemisphere but it's a mirror that's about 1 inch high. Can't see anything in it. Big enough for a whole car! The lesson I take away in the car (always knew it on the bike), but NEVER sit on the left side of a van, stay were you can see the driver in the mirror, if they drive along side you, adjust your speed to be either out in front or in his mirrors. While you are along side, be ready, expect the van to move over on you.

I agree about users of multiple modes of transport - perhaps relying on a bicycle for a year should be a prerequisite before taking a driving test! I walk and cycle a lot, but drive an HGV for a living. I also drove a bus for four years in Lancaster, where the town centre bus routes go past the police station, and it is not hyperbole to say that in all that time I never had a police car give way to me, even when trying to pull away from a bus stop, as the highway code advises. Other emergency vehicles (when not on blues and twos) yes, but never a police car.

The horses walked past, the first one still a bit nervous but got past me and they all thanked me. Then when they had gone past me quite a bit, I started up and carried on.

One thing I've noticed on the quiet and narrow country roads where I live: when you drive up behind a good horse rider, they will turn the horse's head so it can see a car behind before the car starts to overtake (slowly, of course). That way the horse is not startled by the car suddenly appearing along side it. This clip reminded me.

Only just come across your channel, excellent advice all the way down the line. I am 74 years old and been driving since I was 18. My Dad insisted I learn with a driving instructor and paid for 30 lessons. I also drove my Dad to work everyday on the "L" plates! So, all sorted you'd think for the test. Well I failed my first test! Why you may ask, well I was over confident and took the test in my car. It was a salutary lesson. Re-booked a few lessons before the next test and took the test in the driving school car, passed that time. Two years later I took the Advanced Driving Test Course, my instructor was an ex-police driver, that made all the difference to my driving skills and has stood me in good stead for the rest of my life. Driving is all about anticipation and looking ahead and reading the road. I am not a slow driver nor a fast driver but in my opinion people drive far too fast these days and excessively so…….

That second clip is of Chipping Norton high street (a few miles from where I live), and the lorry isn't emerging from a side street, as that's the route the road takes. There's a right-angle bend and the lorry is just not able to make it without crossing over the centre of the white lane. This sort of thing is just everyday driving and no big deal, especially if you are used to small Cotswold towns and villages where you might come across huge lorries, agricultural vehicles and double decker buses in some unlikely places. You always have to be aware of long vehicles on tight bends which have to cross over the central line. That can happen on blind corners, so the rule is beware.

8:20 is a frequent occurrence when someone's in completely the wrong lane and loses their situational awareness... that level of despair when they realize they've took a wrong turn instead of letting the satnav do its corrections causes people to do some bloody stupid maneuvres. So here's what they could have and probably should have done if they had let their satnav butt-in on their unplanned route change; Take the exit for the A555 West, then follow it to the next junction which is a two-roundabout interchange just off of Wilmslow Rd. Use the right lane to take the third exit, then take the third exit on the second roundabout and that takes you back onto the A555 East, hop off at the next junction and take the first exit on to the A34 North via the Wilmslow-Handforth bypass. It's *ALWAYS* better to go the wrong way and fix it than across the front of the car to your right and have to get your insurance to fix that :) that's why going the wrong way won't ding you out of a drivers license on your test if you do a good job correcting it :)

Your parting comments re we all learn from good examples is so true Ash. One of the items in my "toolbox" for becoming a better driver is to emulate other examples of good driving that I witness on the roads (as well as your videos of course). It can be all too easy for drivers to get sucked into bad habits by copying examples of bad driving. A good example of this is if one motorists drives down the hard shoulder to reach the next motorway exit in traffic, other drivers will very quickly follow suit. I make every effort to resist falling into the same trap.

I'd like to say that all of these clips contain something I'd do myself, of course it's situation dependant though. You may notice something too late in some cases.

You can approach a junction and think 'I remember watching a video where someone did this and crashed!'. It's a great resource to improve your driving.

The clip with the lorry coming downhill on a narrow section and the car going uphill stopping to let the lorry clear is informative for the "but the Highway Code says" crowd. The Highway Code suggests that the car has priority, and the lorry should have given way (stretching rule 155 for single track roads to apply to narrow roads), but the car driver did just the right thing here and as a result everybody gets on with their day just that little bit quicker.

Its quite nice to see positive feedback clips as well. Good forward thinking and observation can prevent so many accidents and issues. And im going to second Ashley here, roundabouts are great. you can go around them all day if you like, if you get it wrong or someone forces you to miss your exit just keep going round its much safer than attempting a reverse. Another thing I always used to bring up when I talk about driving is you really only have control over two things when driving. You car's position and speed and your reaction to other road users. You can't control them so give yourself space and time to react to their actions. There will be muppets and idiots who drive dangerously but racing and trying to force them out just adds to that danger.

Just thought it's worth adding. So many people think it's illegal to overtake a cyclist over double solid lines. This is not true. Highway Code rule 129 clearly says that you can do so given it is clearly safe to do so, and the cyclist is at or under 10mph, which they often will be up hill. Most of the time there are double whites for a reason though, so it's not worth going for, but it's not illegal.

If I am driving, then I will not overtake a bus which is signalling to pull out of a stop, I always let them pull out. It's not much delay, I can overtake them on the next stop. I hate it when I'm on the bus and other drivers don't let them out.

This nice driving episode featured a couple of blue light interactions. A couple of years ago, I was thinking about the scenario where you have an emergency vehicle approaching from behind as you were about to enter a roundabout. Roundabouts are a place where emergency vehicles need to slow and display caution. I wondered if (very carefully) pulling forward and stopping my vehicle to block the roundabout would be a better solution than just clearing. I realise this may be too risky for some, and and that exact circumstance quite unlikely to happen. Well, since this "pre-planning" it has occurred three times, oddly at the same roundabout. First time was a fire chief who slowed to about 10-15mph to negotiate the roundabout, which they would have probably done if I'd have just cleared anyway. the second and third were Police cars. Both these times, the driver picked up in a split second what I was up to and didn't even touch the brakes, flying through at 40-50. I think this shows what I believe is the massive gulf between a class 1 trained police driver and other blue light trained drivers, let alone the average bod on the road.

in thinking about it, I'm not seeing any way you could "block" the roundabout for the emergency vehicle that would make things work better for them. now if you were IN a roundabout and saw that an emergency vehicle was approaching it, you could stop before where they were going to emerge, and use your hazard lights to indicate there was something unusual going on. but if they are approaching from behind, it is best to clear a path for them.

@@kenbrown2808 I'm entering in the right lane to turn right, I pull onto the roundabout as if to drive over the middle leaving the left lane clear for the blue lighter to enter safely and therefore at speed. Vehicles entering at the next entry are naturally looking left and will have good vision of the approaching blue lights and vice versa. The danger, both for me and the blue lighter is those entering and on the roundabout from the right who will not be looking into each entry road before they pass, but should definitely see me across their path (fingers crossed), which I am now blocking. The first two time I tried this, there were no vehicles to my right, the third there was a lady just entering (that I did not cause to stop suddenly), whom I hope understood afterward (and after her gesticulating) the reason for my actions. It does work, but it also exposes you to increased risk for the benefit of speed and safety for the blue lighter.

The clip from around 2:05 with the motorbike behind the Citroen. I felt the Citroen could have helped things a tad by making a deliberate steer closer towards the dotted lane lane to it's right (offside). This would have two desired benefits: It would have given the motorbike an earlier opening to filter down the nearside & would have sent the motorcyclist the message that the Citroen driver has indeed seen them. As a general case, in any situation where traffic is queuing in one single lane which further ahead widens out to two lanes, it's good practice for those queuing drivers to get into a left or right "offset" position early whilst still in the single lane.

Praise to these people. What does annoy me is when you stop or go slow to observe or interpret a hazard and some fool behind horns at you 🤦. Once was going to turn right into my road but saw a cyclist on the other side of my road going the same direction of me. Slowed down and stopped to wait for them to go past the road I desire to enter. Turned my and saw he stopped and waited for me to turn in. Had a taxi driver behind me blip the horn at me for my time not moving off. Could just be a gesture of letting me know to move off or just to antagonise 🤷

2:07 I didn't like the use of the horn there. I think it would have been much better for the motorbike to have waited, central in the lane, behind the white car until its lane choice became clear. Opting to undertake (this was not filtering) in that tiny gap, when cars were using the hard shoulder at a junction with uncertainty of traffic movement, was a risk that a quick toot of the horn does not mitigate.

These are always worth watching, if for nothing else than to remember that no matter what happens, your own approach and attitude dictate the final results. So many of these "bad driving" clips only serve to highlight the fragile egos and poor driving standards of the "victims". There is a very good reason the police call these things "road traffic collisions" and no longer "road traffic accidents". To shine a spotlight on reality, nearly all accidents have blame to apportion to everyone involved. These examples of the best of us on the roads should make us all want to do better (however, the fragile egos may prevent this attitude).

I'm going to have to disagree about the biker on the M60 being a good example of restraint. I use that junction on the M60 quite a bit myself. Right at the start, they're too close to the vehicle in front, sitting left in the lane (planning for their exit). All it takes is one idiot wanting to jump the queue to cut in, and their only escape plan is into the hard shoulder (which as we see, has vehicles illegally undertaking in it). The hard shoulder line is a single solid white line, and the same rule applies about crossing them - any part of the vehicle, not just the tyres. Hang your mirror over the solid white, and it's counted as crossing. It's unclear from the video, but it looks like the left mirror is over the line. The use of the horn is debatable, at best. I would expect the Citroen driver to look over their right shoulder in response, not expecting the bike to be "undertaking" (filtering is still legal on the left, it's just less expected and infers more responsibility on the biker in an insurance claim). While the driver is looking for the source of the beep, what's the chances they pull slightly to the left and close the gap? The Citroen is actually keeping an OK gap to the vehicle in front, so the safer option if wanting to filter, would have been to filter on the right, then come in across the front of the Citroen. And the whole filter-on-the-left was done to save about 3 seconds. I think I'd have just waited behind the Citroen.
