2:46 "especially if what you are overtaking can be unpredictable"... Man I would rather every other car on the road was a horse on its own, they are much more predictable than most drivers lol
At 3:49, he was not tailgating the cyclist in front, he was waiting for a space so that he could ride past the cyclist and give him the 6 foot room required by law.
I thought car was resisting the overtake so there was no 'left hook' at the turn he took 4:05. It looked like decent patient driving for that combination of bike-car to me.
It feels like all local council highways budgets for repainting road markings has been cut to the bone. Many lines have worn away completely... or just a faded ghostly reminder remains. Yesterday it felt like a jolt to the brain when I realised I was driving along a newly re-lined stretch... although I passed a section where they'd redone the outer lines but not gone over the hatching lines in between them. I presume that was a cost-saving.
Cliff Kirkman are you ok? The Range Rover cleared you easily on an open junction where it looked, saw you, and showed good driving that it could keep flowing, and where is the karma??? Yeah a car pulled out on the roundabout, the range rover reacted well and got on with his day...the laugh is a crazy reach lol L
4:04 Give credit where its due, the blue car didn't overtake the cyclist, which was really out close to the middle, but the blue car was turning left shortly. What is the point of overtaking it when he would cut right in front of him
The van shouldn't have overtaken anyway due to the solid white line... even without the line, the overtake was started far to close to the horse... the horse going into the left turn is irrelevant to the fact that the van committed two driving offences...
@nigelskinner8988 you're actually allowed to overtake on solid white if what you're overtaking is moving very slow and you're being careful with it. Obviously the van in this clip wasn't, I'm not trying to justify his stupidity, just replying to the point in the comment 🙄
Wow, sound a horn at driver so desperate to get past a bin lorry he's on the opposite pavement, and suddenly the driver has about 50 seconds free to stop his car, get out and shout.
@@garywalk1969 really see NO ISSUES, you are blind or stupid - both. The cyclist was on his side of the road, the left, the car driver had some sense of vision could have waited until the bin lorry had complete the bin pick up but no entitled car driver decides driving on the pavement is his right. Then decides to berate the cyclist for no reason other than putting him out from breaking the law, stop shout and threaten him with violence (affray). Garywalk1969 mate take yourself aside and have a word- and repeat, "I should not post up stuff that makes me look like a clown" ~Trooper
@trooperthatsall5250 hahahaha and here lies the the massive problem with driver's these day😆, sorry numpty didn't mean no issues, should have said cyclist made a big issue out of nothing. As most do, like you nowadays. And you need to give your head a wobble
@@garywalk1969 He didn't he watch as the car passed and the driver honk his horn and the cyclist honked back. So that shows you are blind and stupid, have a nice day troll~ Trooper
@@trooperthatsall5250 No that's not what affray is, that's just common assault. Causing an affray is when a _bystander_ who is not involved in the action and is of reasonable firmness is made to fear for their own safety because of violence or a threat of violence that is not directed at them. The term is very literally derived from causing someone to become afraid.
Near Death Experience!... "WHERE?" The very last clip on here that was captioned "near death experience" was just a slightly close call, and the driver slammed the brakes on while pooping his/her panties. "NO" Near Death Experience in these clips folks.
#4 whilst not illegal, with today's roads I would not be cycling along a busy A road, I used to cycle the A5 to walsall in my youth, defiantly not something I would choose to do now.#5 demented laugh??? #8 arguing with someone like that is pointless, they just can't grasp the concept of writ and wrong. #last clip, narow country roads its to be expected, it wouldnt suprise me if your right wheels were on or over the white lines, hence the reason for slowing down, JUST in case. better be safe than sorry.
First clip, didn't look like 70, but regardless the biker was fine, what he did weas fine as long as the car drivers used mirrors and didn't do any idiotic manoeuvres. No death wish here at all, no nothing...
a lot of laws are stupid and whoever created them has no common sense at all. Unless you are blind sheep which believes that everything what is law is correct. I am against cyclists driving on A roads, because it's annoying for car drivers also dangerous for cyclists. I do ride bicycle sometimes, but I avoid road as much as I can. Normally cycle on a pavement. The law probably says that you cant cycle on a pavement. Because of what? Silly law which I will always break. Because it makes no sense. Now cyclists has more rights on the roads than the cars. Soon we won't be able do drive cars at all because cyclists and pedestrians are like saint cows. Unbelievable.
@@paul8161 - I do too . . . . . . . but imagine if this level of resources, manpower & force *WAS* for something like that. In these bat-sh*t-crazy times it wouldn't surprise me
I don't believe it's illegal for a cyclist or scooter rider to use an A road? The van was way too close to the rear of the horse. You should always hang back until you can see clearly ahead and then pass giving a minimum of 6 feet clearance and at no more than 10mph. 7 police vehicles for 1 untaxed vehicle!! HGV going too fast on the bend, tips spilling what looked like landfill shite everywhere. All those recovery trucks for an idiot.
Cyclists and moped riders are legally allowed on A roads in the UK unless 1. There is a sign indicating that cyclists are not allowed on the road and 2. If there is a minimum speed sign posted for the road for motor vehicles (because mopeds have a maximum speed of 30 mph). As for how dangerous, personally I wouldn't trust other road users with my life, but the whole point of the changes to the RTA in January 2022 was to encourage drivers in cars and lorries etc. to look out for more vulnerable road users.
@@stephengraham1153 That is all interesting but I stick to it that this person is at massive risk and whether allowed or not, it is bloody dangerous and extremely stupid to even think about riding this little scooter on this particular stretch and type of road. 1:10 in case we are thinking two different clips. You sure it is even allowed on there and there are no signs or anything? It just seems so dangerous, was all I was saying. I mean you are allowed and have every right to run across zebra crossings without caring about cars coming who might or might not stop, because after all they must stop as it says by law etc, still, stupid and dangerous to do it lol Anyway hope you had a great weekend!
5:25 how do you find out what happened as the police do not tell you or release any details about any action they may or may not have taken? or do they now, or is it made up? If not made up, what do they do send it to your house or is it available online?
themitsky .... you can see the situation you can see the car coming at you on the wrong side of the road yet you still continue towards the danger !!! not saying that driver was right but you could have waited a bit further back and not been in that spot as car drivers are always told by cyclists - wait .... try doing the same for once
The Law is still very vague about electric bikes and scooters. ( Without any way of tracing the vehicle the riders can basically get away with blue murder!)
@@philtucker1224 it does seem ridiculous you can legally go to Halfords and legally buy a scooter, but it's not legal to ride it on public roads, and the government think the public won't use them on the roads/ pavement,,yeah right. 🤦♂️🤷♂️
@@carlstyth8368 I completed agree, there are a few unmarked cars around, but the police seem to rely on good will and dashcam to police the roads these days unfortunately, where we actually need police on the roads pulling people over enforcing and educating people on poor or bad driving 🚗.
@@paul8161 Yes it does, especially as it’s becoming the short commute choice for a lot of Londoners and other city dwellers, as well as older people that are finding walking a bit harder now, (like my wife and me) but are not disabled. It think over 20,000 have already been purchased in the U.K. so not “being allowed to use them” is in itself quite hilarious!! 🤣😂
@philtucker1224 I can't believe,, well I can that the government let them be on sale, trying to generate money, but not actually thinking how the law on scooter would be enforced by a underfunded over stretched police force..typical government kicking the can down the road for someone else to tidy up, sums the slopey shoulder party up really well.
Another 8.08 of my life I won't get back, apart from the bellend driving on the the pavement Dashflix serves up another load of nothingness from Karen dash cammers.
"nothingness" like car going the wrong way and nearly hitting a cyclist then giving him mouth? Karen's like the one who caught a car nearly T-boning another car at a mini? totally nothing huh? To quote Sir Ian McKellen. "Bitch, please."
@@ianmason. as a rule most lorry drivers you meet or talk to be fair only ever whine about car driver's when they drive like bell ends like they do on this channel ( obviously not all and that goes the same for lorry drivers).
