5:39 so you made a random lane change on the exit of a roundabout, no signal, just wandered into their lane and then complain that they exist there, good work.
Thought the same. Cammer is an idiot..
Yup, not the smartest move to undertake but its a two lane exit so just stay in the lane you're in.
if the cammer drives an BMW, he have first rights to go where he wants, others can use their brakes.
@@MattF340He didn’t undertake though. He was in the left lane and exited in that lane. He didn’t come from behind the camper and then go to that lane before coming back in front of him. There are two lanes going off at that roundabout, the guy took the left hand lane and then the tw@t with the camera came off in the right lane before veering into the left. The red car did nothing wrong here.
Infuriating when people don't indicate. I do but some drivers dont take any notice 😤😤
Number 12 - the solution is to use your MIRRORS. Also, changing lanes on a roundabout exit is stupid. You really need to hand back your licence, if you have one.
Absolutely. Cammer should have exited in the lane he was in, not change lanes at the exit.
I can't believe the cammer submitted that and blamed the other driver. The other driver wasn't wise to pass, but that is only because they should avoid numpties like the cammer who change lanes without looking.
Chris McArthur is a veteran on a few dashcam channels…and not for the reasons he thinks he is.
@@cjcronin1000he's a comically bad driver. It's actually crazy he thinks he is in the right in his clips.
#12 And also the other driver wasn't "undertaking", that's only the case if he was behind u, moved to the left lane, drove past then moved back in front of u. The lane he was in on the roundabout, was the lane he exited the roundabout, so cammer was in the wrong here
87 sees floor sign to merge, but chooses not to slow and merge behind the tanker, instead tries to get infront and is upset about it😂
Exactly what I thought Chris doesn’t know how to drive and clearly impatient. He nearly caused an accident by not merging behind the tanker!!!
Exactly this. The right lane merges in to the left, not the other way round. The tanker not only has right of way, but is ahead of the car the entire time anyway. Cammer needs to slow down and filter in behind the tanker.
#87 - piss poor planning. It was YOUR lane that was ending, not the lorries.
40:23 Sorry to say pal you were in the wrong. The tanker was in the correct lane and you should not have pushed so far forward. Your lane had a merge arrow and you should have dropped back and merged behind him. Also to push ahead into oncoming traffic was dangerous. You ask where are you expected to go but where did you expect the tanker to go?
This comment.
You can see him speeding up to try overtake the tank, but hes in the tank blind spot so its not like theyd have noticed him
most drivers do this thinking theyre right, well theyre not.
100% agree, this guy was in the wrong here and shouldn't of tried to overtake the lorry and was dangerous. Those lanes are to help filter and manage traffic flow if safe to do so. You can clearly see him speeding and the lorry had right of way there. Just because they use those lanes doesn't entitle them full access
100% agree too, there were plenty of lane markings indicating a merge but car driver submitted this footage and having a moan to gain , what, a few extra metres? Quite sad and pathetic! Had plenty of space to - behind the tanker! Muppet.
#87 truck was way in front at that merge and you tried and failed to get in front and use your horn 😂
Cammers fault, truck was in frontcoming upto merge.
@@mstew609and additionally it was the cammers lane that was the one disappearing so they needed to merge. Dangerous that the guy is unable to see his own fault there.
At 40:20, Chris McArthur, if you could not have predicted how that was going to play out, you are either a newbie or just determined to "have your right of way!". You just know the 2 lanes converge into 1, but are just so determined not to end up behind the tanker, Takes much less energy for you to slow down and give the truck a break than for him to stop and allow your Lordship to proceed. A little bit of consideration would go a long way, Mr McArthur. Personally, I will hold off in similar situation.
And then has the nerve to post his example of dumb sh1tery 😂
No.34, at time 16:15, the driver criticises the white car for driving over the min-roundabout then does exactly the same.
Also doesn't slow down until the last second despit traffic approaching from theirright. Once again a video where half the time the cammer is equally in the wrong and, what's worse, doesn't seem to be aware of that.
Happens so many times on these videos, bad drivers criticising others, and to be honest he wasn't at the roundabout let a lone on it, b e l l end
Ya I thought that too😂.
The other car was indicating to go left he wasn't going round the roundabout
It's great when people put a video up and it's there fault
#2 - award for how excited that kid sounded to have seen a crash Going to grow up to be a traffic officer I am sure of it
Or a German car owner possibly.
He would hate this video, hardly any crashes in it.
Dashcammer - "Instead of avoiding the potential hazzard ahead, I'll get right in close, then beep my horn and complain"
#98 ... its not called "The slow leane" it`s called Lane no1 or Driving lane. Lane no2 is for overtaking vehicles in lane 1. when you call it slow lane and fast lane is when you start causing trafic pileups. i can go into details as of what`s the psychology behind it but thats for a proper conversation not for YT comments
#14 re your comment about two cars and traffic camera at red light. Neither car went through a red light so neither of them need worry and it’s not a box junction so they did well to sit back and let cross traffic through.
Gonna say, it’s happened to me before. You feel foolish enough when it does without worrying about a ticket to add to your woes.
Exactly - I’m sure the light was green when they went through so won’t get a ticket, but they then did the right thing by waiting rather than blocking traffic. I find it sad that people can’t seem to see these things and submit clips that aren’t at all relevant.
I agree with these comments why write “ we hope they get points” idiot
32:15 I can’t go anywhere??? Jog on buddy, wrong side of the road with an entrance you could park a lorry in if your were on the CORRECT side of the road 😉
#56 (26:15) Not only did you fail to go AROUND the roundabout, you didn't even go over the central marking and went around the roundabout completely COUNTER-CLOCKWISE. You then kicked off at the other driver. Hand back your license.
Exactly what I was thinking, had they used the roundabout like it's supposed to be used, this would have never been an issue, the other driver would have long moved off.
@@x66Hawk66x Shocking driving, out the cereal packet
Hes the same person in #70 32:00 going around a bend on the opposite side of the road
@@cait3He is complete idiot of a driver, zero forward planing.
@@cait3 Yeah, I would have gone in on that bend and then re-negotiated around the corner
11:44 Looked like a sensible merge and that cammer was well aware of the situation.
looks like they even sped up the footage to make it look like they didnt have an entire working week to plan ahead lol
#87 hand your license back. You're a danger to others.
I concur. The twat should’ve given way to the lorry. All that bollocks about having nowhere to go? Yes you did. You just chose to give yourself nowhere to go. I hope you’re reading these Comments about your driving and it makes you think!
Agreed driver of the cam fault 100%
100%. Cam driver stupid asf
Or at the least, let that stuffed toy do the driving. Probably a better driver
5:33 If you seriously believe you were not in the wrong here, please hand in your license.
Makes me laugh the number of cam cars that think they've been wronged but it just shows their inconsiderate driving 😂
Clearly no anticipation in some of those clips.
#92 making your passenger that uncomfortable isn't really on, their life is in your hands regardless of how confident you feel, for the sake of a few more minutes
Was just thinking that! If they’re so uncomfortable they’re screaming then maybe don’t do it? 😂
I was thinking this too. As someone who has been in a car accident as a passenger driver, never underestimate the sheer fear and terror that runs through you when someone else takes dangerous liberties with you in the car. It's very selfish and unfair to do things like this especially when there's really no need for it either. I truly felt for the woman in that car. The fear in her voice tells me there's a reason she's that scared!
Yeah but also, it was a bit over dramatic no matter what situation they were in. She's still panting afterwards even though the manouvre was executed well and safely. Based on where she sat in the car it might have indeed looked like a dangerous overtake but from the drivers side pov he could easily see a straight road with clear visibility and plenty of space to overtake. Panicking like that unnecessarily is more likely to cause the driver to lose focus and crash or make a bad decision. Best to stay quiet and voice your opinions on their driving afterwards and maybe take action against them.
The tractor and load wont be going far, just wait for it to turn off, or for a wider road. if you hit a pothole or hidden debris at the roadside on that overtake youll be off the road or in the side of the tractor.
Lukask belting along in his lorry as usual and showing us all how to sound a horn before breaking whilst apparently having no peripheral vision. No dashcam video is complete without his contributions
#34 - the golden rule at roundabouts is to go round them, not over them.....then you proceed to drive over the roundabout......😂
#87 Imagine thinking you're blameless here. Pause at 40:22, in the perfect position to slot in behind, with a perfect zip to boot. But nope, accelerate into danger and then act like the other driver is to blame because they couldn't vanish or levitate or what exactly did you expect them to do? And for bonus points the merge arrows were from your lane, so how exactly it you expect the lorry driver to resolve a situation you entirely created that was your responsibility to manage in the first place? Deluded. This has to be rage bait right? That's the new thing.
Was gonna say this
For yet more bonus points, cammer appears to be quite happy to play chicken with a tanker that could well be filled with diesel. I can almost see the newpaper headline: 'Fuel tanker in fireball horror kills 32'.
No. 87 should have slowed down. The truck was in front of him at all times
#87 The lorry was in front of you, he had right of way
#25 you clearly sped up knowing full well the bus will pull out
#14 Somebody doesn't understand how traffic lights work or the law. They didn't overshoot the stop line, they crossed the line on gcreen. As those vehicles crossed the line on a permissive light there is nothing for the camera to catch, those lights technically no longer apply to then. They have already crossed the line controlled by the light. Blocking the junction is an entirely different issue not enforced by that camera, but then they weren't blocking the junction either, so really, no issue.
It is an issue and also a definite test fail. Try reading rule 176 in the Highway Code. Note: the rule is a MUST NOT and also shows the appropriate legislation.
Tbf it looks like bad road design, there should really be that yellow grid pattern on the road to indicate that they shouldn't be stopping there
@@stevesales4263You have completely missed the point. The two cars crossed the line on green - your own footage shows this at 6:05 - and they were then caught by the traffic queue ahead of them. Rather than catching up with the black Ford Focus at the end of the queue, and blocking the road for traffic entering the junction from the left, the VW Golf made the correct decision to stop, thereby keeping the road clear for them. You might be correct if there was a box junction here, but there isn't, so you aren't.
@bruce9090 You are missing the point. Read the Highway Code. Rules pertaining to a yellow box are irrelevant in this case. The offence pertains to the rule already mentioned. The fact that they were caught by the queue that you allege, proves that their exit wasn't clear. Crossing on a green light is also irrelevant. I repeat read the Highway Code.
@@stevesales4263I've read rule 176 (a few times...) and I'm confused as to why you maintain the drivers have breached it. 'You MUST NOT move forward over the white line when the red light is showing.' The video shows that both cars crossed the stop line when the traffic light was on green, so this part of rule 176 does not apply. TSRGD regs 36 (1) (d) refers: 'the green signal shall indicate that vehicular traffic may proceed beyond the stop line and proceed straight on or to the left or to the right.' So it follows that your argument must then be based on its second sentence: 'Only go forward when the traffic lights are green if there is room for you to clear the junction safely.' 6:13 shows two lines of traffic. Joining the back of lane 1 would mean, yes, they would be blocking the intersecting road. However lane 2 has enough space behind its last car for another four, maybe even five, cars. So they were able to clear the junction safely: they simply made a choice not to join the queue with space behind it. As another poster commented: 'Neither car went through a red light so neither of them need worry and it’s not a box junction so they did well to sit back and let cross traffic through.'
#34 16:15 complains someone goes through the middle of the roundabout then proceeds to do the same.... nice one
#73: finally: a cammer that goes round a roundabout 😊
#29 14:08 the driver visibly shaking in shock really brings it home that these are real people in bad situations
That doesn't look like shock/adrenaline shakes to me, it looks more like Parkinson's tremors. That might also be the reason for crashing but I guess we don't have any more details.
Then he shdnt be driving if he isnt fit. Why should he endanger others !!!
Youll be saying Timmys should drive next and be let off when they k/ll someone
12 you didn't need to change lanes, so why do it?
#87 and you uploaded this to social media😂😂 sorry buddy but you’re 100% in the wrong… And you didn’t have to go into the wrong lane to avoid a crash, All you had to do was use your brakes and slow down. You were never in front of that truck.
I love that 3 of these clips on this one video are on the same stretch of road in camberley hahaha
I dont’ know why people find that roundabout so hard. I think it’s a lot better now they have put extra traffic lights and slip lanes in there.
#4 making sure to watch the car in front breaking for 10 minutes before nearly causing a massive crash. Absolute genius.
40:42 you are the problem trying too force your way into the side of an HGV??? That short sighted you couldn’t see what was gonna happen….or you just had to get in front of the tanker? 😂
Thing is that being a responsible driver is reacting and adapting to unexpected hazards in order to keep yourself and others safe; not to mention avoiding a needless collision. So when a driver stupidly pulls across a lane or out a turning at the wrong time it creates a hazard. Yes it’s true they shouldn’t be in that position, but they are, and so we as responsible drivers should be adapting to that. By slowing down and managing the situation… Driving straight at this driver as if they aren’t there, just to prove a point because “They just shouldn’t be there!” and having something to upload from your Dashcam is the complete opposite of responsible….
Approved.
Must be wrong! You mean drive defensively? Nah, that would just save lives, there must be a reason why vehicles have horns.
#56. The other car entered the roundabout before you. Respect the lanes and you will do just fine. #89. Yep! A tractor turned on the road far enough in front so that you could safely slow down, just like it said in big letters on the pavement. It's also a reminder that you are not alone on ANY road. #92. I guess it's the last time she goes to visit the mother-in-law, if she continues to stay at the end of this road... 🤣😉 #113. The mother should get a ticket for crossing on a red light, a warning for child endangerment, another ticket for use of a phone while walking/driving, and have her phone taken from her without the right to get a new one before two years. Damn cell phone era. 😡
The driver who claims that the HGV driver pulled out in front of him, forcing him to stop, needs to watch the clip a few more times... The HGV remained stationary, signalling out, until your vehicle had stopped, Sunshine! Tick-good-star for letting him out though.😉
5:30 'Chris Mcarthur' it is you who is in the wrong. random lane change on exiting the roundabout instead of following your lane to be in the second lane as indicated by the road markings aswell as the sign on the roundabout. when clear/safe to do so indicate left and change to the left lane. if you wanted to be in the left hand lane on exit then you should have been in the first lane when you entered the roundabout as it is for both turning left and continuing straight.
#12 doesn't know how to drive
#5 Lies about indicating, no indicating sound and no orange flashing light reflected anywhere. Stopped, didn't seem to know what he was doing. Then as someone was overtaking them, decided to turn right without checking mirrors.
100% same thing i said
#92 - tractors are, 99% of the time, 'local traffic', so just bide your time. They will soon turn off.
42:40 DARRYL...DARRYL!!!!!! 😂😂😂
#12 you really think that the other car was at fault 🙄
16:17 I love how the cammer gives the other driver grief over driving over the centre of the roundabout and goes ahead and does the same
#89 - and sooo...? You had minimum 9 seconds to slow.
#87 I have to agree with other comments. Hand your licence back. Do you not understand "merge in turn"?
5:41 cam car fault, check your mirrors , open your eyes etc. why change there anyway??? a very poor place , hint accelerate a bit too
#87 you should have held back, your lane merged with the inside lane, hgv had right of way.
0:46 absolutely shocking driving mate 🤦♂️
Lovely that i read Deathcam first 😂
#26 - Cammer had so much time to observe the coach! Why not ease off the gas in plenty of time and allow it to merge?
Because that's what a grown-up would do, and acting like one is beyond the cammer's capacity.
They had a coach full of children slamming on the air breaks would injure them the same as that and also could cause a rear end
@@Lucario0007 *brakes
I used to drive a truck from Kent to Walsall every night. The incident at 25.36 happened to me every night, often two or three times a night !
#56 - try using the roundabout correctly.
#91 - it's legal. As is a horse and cart, tractor, moped etc.
70. Should have pulled in behind and check road was clear but no just blocks the road
#48 Undertaker ! Lovely !
It never occurs to these drivers that they are operating a lethal weapon.
people driving with company cars with big logos on them, sometimes i send the video to their employer asking if they think that these idiots driving like this is the front of the comapny you want to see.
#87 its time to brake duhh
#25 coach done nothing wrong - as per usual the calmer had more than enough time to tar their foot off the pedal for a second to decelerate!! But no has to actually increase speed then bib like there's no tomorrow 🤷🏻🤷🏼🤷🏽
Yeah, they saw the coach then sped up 😵💫
The bus driver had no intention of slowing down at all and always intended to ignore the give way lines. If the other vehicle has to slow down, then you're in the wrong. Shitty drivers cover for other shitty drivers.
@@garyboyle695you are the problem here. I suggest you go and watch Ashley Neal’s channel and learn a few things from him about how to make things a non issue, if that’s your attitude. I imagine the coach driver judged from a distance that they would have enough time to clear. Maybe they slightly misjudged it. However, if I was coming up to that situation, I absolutely would’ve slowed my roll in order to accommodate the coach, because I’m all about fixing the situation, not making it worse. You could see the coach from a good distance away, therefore it should have been a really easy fix. I don’t understand drivers who won’t try and make a situation better when it is within their power to do so.
#89 At 41:19, you can clearly see the tractor has pulled out into the main road yet at no point in the 10 seconds it takes you to catch up to it do you do anything to adjust your speed, ignoring the crossroads hazard sign and the warning to slow. You overtake and pull back in front of the tractor like a twat too.
#4. "Yes."
#56 Have you actually been taught how to use a roundabout?
#114 I love this from the cammer, when you know exactly what the prick is about to do, but you have the right of way so you own all the cards!! 😂😂😂😂😂
1:05 I love the kids reactions 😂
11:52 it wont be a school coach, it doesnt have the sticker on the back
Taking you life in your hands driving in England, so many drivers haven't even passed their driving tests, high illiteracy and innumeracy levels, in my experience and opinion.
#56 If I had a voice like that I wouldn't broadcast it 😂😂
11.00 Was the cammer in the yellow box junction when his exit was not clear naughty naughty !
Bro the first one is where I live like seriously
16.25 So you both took the roundabout incorrectly well done !
5:46 thats not the first time Chris Mcarthur has cut into someone's lane and then blammed the other driver for it... Seems to be a running issue then. Actually Chris Mcarthur has consistently shown themselves to be a terrible driver based on his submissions here, wtf was 87 about? Lol
Fingers crossed the police will see the videos of his consistent shit driving and ban him.
#56 if you go the wrong way around a mini roundabout, you cant complain if someone pulls out
I watch these and wonder if my driving has gotten bad
Really are some tools out there
Medical Pipeline appears in one of the clips. I think we've seen this company van in other videos???
1:45 why would anyone be using cruise control in heavy traffic??? So to answer your question, YES, you are way too reliant on it. Smh
Adaptive cruise is fine to use in traffic. But don’t be totally relying in it for sudden stops.
@@boonargaObviously not, otherwise this may not have happened 🤔
06:24 there is no yellow box junction. No issue with what they did. They did not cross the line when the light was red.
114. Well done sir, keep up the good work.
53:28 #111 All we know is, he's *not* the Stig, he's the Stig's lorry-driving cousin! Rig Stig
14:08 just played it back @ ¼speed - is the driver leaning up against his toyota to steady himself !?
12:08 brilliant!
Came here for the comments. Wasn't disappointed 🤣
49:58 thats in Newham, there should be a camera installed, its a daily basis issue, from both sides right in that spot. ive seen that everyday for the past 3 years.
#4, adaptive cruise control doesn’t mean the car will slow down automatically, it means if you go up hill the car will increase its revs to keep to the selected speed, it will cut your speed back when going downhill, but not on a flat run, engaging a brain cell is more appropriate in this case
21. The bus has just come out of the Bernard Mathews site at Great Witchingham, Norfolk. It isnt supposed to turn left as it has done here, although there is a weight limit of 7.5 ton on this road. it's because the road is not suitable for a vehicle of this size.
I work for First in Norwich which runs that BM7 contract and I’ve been in and out of Bernie’s hundreds of times. Judging by the amount of traffic I’d assume Porters Lane or Fakenham Road was closed at the time… I’ve had to divert that way a few times now, it’s not ideal but unfortunately there isn’t any other access to the factory. It’s worth noting that the weight limit applies to HGV’s, buses are exempt.
Yesterday on the A 605 I had to overtake a lorry unloading pallets on a blind bend. My son had his head out of his passenger side window yelling ‘ Go now mum’. Thankfully I was able to avoid a head on accident due to our diligence!
Overtake? So it was still moving while it was unloading pallets?
@ 48:17 with the Mitsubishi. I know exactly where that is. It's the A6 turn-off for New Mills. The left lane is a filter lane... left only! I live not a million miles away from here, and I don't think I've ever seen this before. However, the left turn at the start, prior to the filter lane, my daughter and I almost lost our lives here last summer when a Ranger Rover driver pulled out to turn right while on his phone... in his hand, looking at the phone's screen! Not paying the blindest notice...
#56 if you actually go AROUND the roundabout ???? but then if you did the other car would have been out and away...now we couldn't have that could we.( i know the other 2 before you didn't). NOT ONLY that, but at the subsequent roundabout approach bot you and the car in front showed no lane discipline and drove straight across it. If there was a car coming up fast in the right lane you would have cut them off completely. Yea you were bad.
So it’s super interesting that some of the drivers submitting these videos are IN THE WRONG! 🙄
Roberts coaches do many school runs in my area. Let's just say the coach in clip 25 was nothing unusual!
Lovely to see Medical Pipeline Services being absolutely slated on google reviews 😂
28.48 Cammer jumped the lights was moving on amber light !
28:06 seems blue car would have priority as theyre going straight. Red should've given way in my book
That must be the British Gas van with all the shareholders dividends...
These kind of drivers are why I don't cycle on main roads too scared of being hit by one of these lot I've had a few near misses on side roads
Your video is a masterclass in emotional storytelling. It's not just content; it's an experience that lingers in the mind.
5:42 there's 2 lanes for that turn off. The red car is already in shot before the cammer starts to move across the lines dividing the lanes. Poor lane discipline by the cammer due to a total lack of awareness if they didn't know the red car was there. Obviously forgot about the MIRROR part of the mirror signal manoeuvre process, I wonder if he signalled? Nearly causes a crash and then tries to claim victim status on the internet.
24 you were both wrong blocking a hatched box junction. Hope you both got a ticket.
#12 the cammer should retake driving test, he/she should have check mirrors and signal before moving to left lane, or just keep in lane and move to the left when it's safe to do so.
No 24. Both drivers out of order stopping on yellow box.
