Please can i hire you to come and film my partner driving? I'm trying to convince him that he's an unsafe driver. Those roads look familular (if it was near StAlbans, please get in contact, if he's driving, it's in your best interest!!)
very good- the vid not the driving.....Leave the busman alone some twat was parked in the bus stop..... I'm a driving instructor and if I had a dollar for every "My Mum/Dad says do it like this...." Merc drivers.....thats another story !!!
Lovely refreshing stance you take, exactly the same things annoy me too. When I was younger I'd flash people parked on the wrong side with lights on, or just driving badly, but I now realise people probably won't have a clue they were doing anything wrong. Common sense has been replaced by self importance :-(
To be fair to the bus driver I think he no choice to leave his "arse" hanging out because of the van parked up in front of him. I'm guess he was leaving himself enough room to pull out.
what if that car going down the hill on the brakes was an Automatic? Added to the fact it's a 7 seater so if it did have 7 people, plus lugage in, it would pick up speed real fast, and with no help from an Autobox downhill there is only one way to keep it's speed down! You're quick to notice other peoples mistakes but you aint so perfect your self! It's part of driving, deal with it, if u cant, give it up!
so, using brakes is a bad thing. i should instead speed around corners and down hills, possibly out of control, just to keep the tailgaters happy. gotcha.
@zarrendragon Okay. If you are rolling down a hill and maintaining a speed using the brakes isn't a good idea - use the gears instead. The reason is that the drivers behind will see brake-lights; warning lights, that alert the driver behind that the car in front is slowing down. If the car is not slowing down, and the lights are already on, then when the car HAS to slow down quickly the driver behind has no warning of this, often causing an accident.
@g4rdenspoon That is an option, but I guess it depends on the cars. In my area, you'd be hard pressed to find a car that can do what you say. Most cars here only have manual options for maybe 1st or 2nd gear, which would not be pretty at speed. And then there's those, like mine, that have no such gears at all!
I've always learned that brake lights mean 'prepare to stop', which should cover any sudden stopping in those circumstances.
@zarrendragon In the UK, most cars have manual transmissions, and those that don't have an option to select a lower ratio. It makes sense to coast in-gear without using the brakes, if brake lights were as you say - get ready to stop - there would be traffic jams everywhere, but without anything at the front having stopped at all.
@g4rdenspoon i drive on roads without white lines you get to know were to slow down for other drivers, people are courteous around here but talking about a glare from brake lights or people braking where u dont think its nessecary in your vehicle ect well maybe you shouldnt sit so close to there tail if its bugging you and pressuring people into doing things beyond there capabilities is very dangerous, remember we had ours Ls once give them some space on the roads there learning from us kthankz
@headshothazard You seem to be missing the point here, these are all things that people generally need to improve on because they are being careless. Brake lights can be a real issue, because they are supposed to be a warning to drivers behind that the vehicle in front is slowing down - not maintaining speed. I don't tail-gate anyone btw, don't know what made you say that.
This video only points out what people do wrong, those that want to drive better will understand.
Protip: If cars can drive around you in both directions when you're stopped, you're not blocking the road. Man the fook up and stop bitching over what is pretty much a selection of everyday driving, and at worst a minor irritation.
@g4rdenspoon Bad driving is when some rudeboi chav prats their riced saxo off an overpass into an old people's home... this is just you bitching at fuck all.
@Vracktal I disagree; your example is of dangerous dickheads that belong in prison. My examples are all of careless, thoughtless and ignorant behaviour - the kind of driving that would fail you in your test. Any driver that keeps their mind on the job will spot these examples and agree, that people should try and drive better.
Just because there weren't anybody getting killed doesn't mean that they are okay with what they are doing.
Yeah, have a whinge why don't you, but in case you haven't fucking noticed; LEARNER DRIVERS ARE LEARNING of course they're not going to be perfect fucking drivers!
@g4rdenspoon maybe you should be in the car with a learner driver before you start going off at the instructor, please understand that some people can't afford driving school before you post derogatory videos.
You may be right about some learners not having the cash for proper lessons, but that being the case - how are then going to be able to afford insurance, road tax, and the cost of fuel?
If you find yourself being taught how to drive by someone who's skills are lacking, then you're going to pick bad habits, and then fail, or scrape through and drive badly until you kill yourself or somebody else.
@g4rdenspoon Why are you saying this is the instructors fault anyway? He/She can't help it if the learner is LEARNING sorry we can't all be born pefect drivers without having any experience :/
@HannahKhodary The instructor is there to point the learner in the right direction, to teach them the rules etc., this instructor let his/her student travel about two miles down the road on the outside lane at under 50mph - that is bad instruction - no excuses.
@HannahKhodary No I'm not, I'm suggesting that the instructor should have been instructing the learner to be in the correct lane. I'm really not sure why you are finding this so difficult to understand.
What always surprises me -- is when I just make it through an amber light (which actually turns red by the time I complete the turn) -- I will look in my rear view mirror and see about 2 or 3 more cars making it through behind me. Oh well -- and they complain about blond women drivers like me, I don't get it.
@roadbikegarden You've really got to keep your eye out while one a bike. I've noticed a hell of a lot more people on phones these days too - much more than the time before it was actually illegal, I guess people think they are too important or something...
@roadbikegarden I don't know, most cars are fitted with Blutooth as well - why don't they use that...? Having said that though, it still causes a distraction.
Oh yes, you must be really looking forward to that. :)

You are the Marlowe of the frustrated rant, Paul. I second Dibbers' idea for a TV show-but of course this would lead to more, not less, shitty driving, giving you a massive stroke, possibly.
At 1.37 is called the Darwin corner. Drivers in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia are so notorious for it that stopping at the line in that situation could result with the driver making the right hand turn crashing into you..
ahahhaha that was outstanding Bro, i think you should have a show on TV, could be called HOW TO DRIVE LIKE A TWAT, you could do something really new like have their No plate flash up on the TV screen in big letters hahahaha H&R
