Straight American Roads? No Thanks! English Country Lanes

[nitinmirg]

Is this the one way road ?

[jahedur]

what was your average speed here? looks pretty fast and scary

[jalit]

Nice sped up footage you have there. 2:14 if you don't believe me.

[wank0r]

I have many roads like this in North Wales.. very good fun at night time :D

[MICKEYISLOWD]

wow you must know that road very well...nice bit of driving...

[Alexc3217]

Driving in the British countryside at night is like rally racing except you have to dodge wildlife.

[DursosZeroPred]

Very nice driving.

[popshvt]

you crazy shit i

[MercFriendlyChat]

what's that got to do with country lanes?

[dreampilot2]

It was a reply to so bias fool in your comment section

[hotpocketstastgood66]

Really? Your giving us shit about our cars?

Aren't there more important things that we suck at? You can't be running out of things to criticize

[ek583]

Nice one mate! Totally agree with your views on American roads (and cars!) lol.

And it is a fact that most of the road accidents in the UK happen not due to high speed, but more down to other factors such as drink or drug driving, inexperienced driver, etc. etc.

[elmski1987]

theres much better roads than that mate, get yourself to the essex/suffolk boarders! hairpins and awesome flowing bends. my favourite road, between sudbury and colchester, dont have to drop below 80-90mph except for the hairpins.

and as for the people saying its dangerous, thats why you drive at night when you can see headlights round corners ;)

[MercFriendlyChat]

well said

[elmski1987]

thanks mate :D

the idea that speed is dangerous is ridiculous, speed in itself isnt inherently dangerous, its a combination of conditions, lack of capability on the part of the driver and the car, and a lack of luck that contribute to RTC's, accidents can happen at slow speeds, theyre just not as spectacular.

and yeah, American cars are shit. having been to north America recently, its shocking the difference in quality between a US ford, and a European ford........same company!

[123454321sam]

go fucking north into scotland. hills and jumps but there's more of a gradient so you're more likely to crash cos theres loads of hidden cliff sides but no-ones on them cos they take the A roads so you can go in the middle of the day =)

[bubandlisa]

Its stupid drivers like this that end up killing some innocent family, go to a track you selfish fuckin moron!

[spyder2001]

track time is expensive and only lasts a day, country lanes were meant to be abused. that's why there's a 60mph speed limit on them :P

[peanutfarmerUSA]

I don't understand why europeans are jealous about america. They can't accept that the "stupids" that left Europe are now the most powerful country in the world , and they always go intervining in world wars only because Europeans are just too idiot to maintain war out of their stupid soils.{everything I said was exceptioning Britain only} America will beat europe no matter what they say.

[peanutfarmerUSA]

you wouldn't be saiyng that if you won money in £. that way you would had the double in the usa and britain would be your precious friend. it is true that in the uk one lives worst than in the usa , but when going to oxford university, going out to the great and pure english PUBs and enjoing english frienship, you will like much, more the UK than USA, But that does not happens always.

[bubandlisa]

Here we go yet another England "EU" against America bullshit post! #1 In America i had 3 cars and an acre of land and my own pool all with a normal regular job,..here in the UK i have only 2 cars, no pool, and only 1/3 acre! And there are sooooo many polish and czech here they have their own stores, and when you close your eyes you would think you were in eastern europe,WE cant wait to get back to sunshine, multiple cars, big backyard, pools, and extra $ in the pocket see ya wouldnt wanna be ya

[mayzon111222]

yes, please leave, and go and rot in the american health care system ^^

[bubandlisa]

erm ok, we have "insurance" in America, that ='s bout the same amount thats taken out of your wages for the NHS, so no price difference. And here in the UK, my sis in law had to wait 3 months for a Gallstone operation! My mom in the USA was diagnosed, and had her operation in the same week! The NHS sucks dick "thats why me and my wife have BUPA" and its still not as fast as the US system, AND we dont have MRSA in US hospitals either because they are spotless, so do some research mayzoon.

[mayzon111222]

Ok so every single american has insurance? 16% of the population are without insurance, thats 47 million people, if one of those 47 million broke thier leg they would find themselves in dept for the next 20 years!americans dont look after thier own, dog eat dog. The nhs is far from perfect but it works and there is also the option to go private! What would you prefer?

[touquoise]

ppl with broken bones usually go to a clinic, not a hospital. very cheap, you don't need insurance.

[staffordacdc]

not in the UK we get free health care.

[bubandlisa]

Private is far better, yes some people back home have insurance but like i said its no more than whats taken out via NHS so its a choice not to have it. A friend of mine cancelled his, 2 months later broke his leg, was charged $11,000 but payback of $25 a month £12 so its not all bad if you dont, and for the $ the care is faster and better because if you get sick or they make a mistake,..you sue them hence the cleanliness and speed, i like the UK but things could be better here man.

[Bogracer]

America is a product of all the stupid people that left Europe to do their own thing and escape a bit of persecution. Certainly an interesting experiment in the evolution bad taste. And before some pipes up about the V8 engine it was invented by French gentleman.

[lavakava]

it is true...racial mixing (not black and white, but mixing of different europeans), caused dna mutations. i have been to europe and middle-east (bahrain,dubai) and their roads are far better than american roads in every aspect: quality of construction: smooth asphalt, good looking high lights, modern sleek traffic lights, accurate marker lines on the roads...in american roads, i notice everything is like half-assed, bumpy and crappy ... of course american roads are better than india roads lol!

[Jayvaio]

I do feel slightly ashamed that the pilgrams that settled in america from europe became stupid and disillusioned but then again that is maybe what happens when irish, english, italians, french and russians start fukin and having kids. You are not americans just simply dumb ass europeans that went travelling because maybe they were too stupid to get a job back at home. hahaha

Peace (thats ironic, im saying 'peace' to the yanks who dont know the meaning of the word lol)

[Jayvaio]

My only favourite USA car is the dodge viper and being an engineer even that car still makes me SICK.....i mean 8 litre car and only 600 HP WTF!!!!

Try to find a european car with a stupid statistic like that. Euro engineers can get 600hp from far less CC's quick example(Jaguar XJ220 made in 1992! gives 542hp from a 3.5 litre engine!!!) jus goes to show what ive always said - Stupid fukin americans.

[Jayvaio]

OH WOW!!! Yanks have NBA NASCAR NFL etc etc but one point your missing you dumb fuk is that only AMERICANS are involved with those sports, if the rest of the world were to compete then they would SHIT on you yankies. Anyway about cars: Americans cars are SHIT compared to european cars,thats why all you guys buy our cars because the quality is the best. My only favourite USA car is the dodge viper and being an engineer even that car still makes me SICK.....i mean 8 litre car and only 600 HP WTF!

[Iowaspirit]

America is richer than german fuckers and english together. america has many nascar ovals when europeans have only one near berlin.America have NBA,NASCAR,NFL and MSL leage when england only have cricket and a formula 3000 or something like that.

[BiffExploder]

you my friend, are a complete retard.

any moron can make left turns, in europe we have racing based on driving skill, not just "oooh left turn...left turn... left turn... pit..." and so on

rally and formula 1 alone are enough to make any stupid american driver run away in fear.

even everyday driving, i'd love to see you trying to drive one of your brick cars on our cities, you bastards cant even use your brakes right.

[RyDawg084]

is it one way? if another car was coming around the bend on that tiny road...some american cars wouldn't even fit on that lane

[MercFriendlyChat]

It's a 2 way road. If you meet another car you have to pull over on to the verge to pass. can be fun if you meet lorries, tractors etc

[zleepertt]

I wouldn't say European drivers are the best LOL!

[MercFriendlyChat]

Really? How many Americans have won anything in F1, Motorcross, Rally, Le Mans etc etc? Germans invented the car alongside the English. Italians have the best designs, the English develop the best engines and suspension, the Japs learnt from the English. Americans can only think in terms of cc.

[Bogracer]

GT40, Carrol Shelby, Le Mans Victory! With alot of help from the UK

[peck666dragon]

the gt40 started life as an english car till yet again the car company ran out of money and ford bought the car and all the rights to it

[touquoise]

that's racing. what about the average driver...? what does design or creation have to do with driving skills? Asians are known for bad driving here in America.

plus, America has contributed a lot to the car industry, don't undermine that.

[spunkternal]

lol. america was where they first mass produced cars. thats the only thing they did for the car industry. the build quality is bloody awful and its as if they were engineered by chimps.

[touquoise]

actually, American and Japanese rank in the top of best quality cars. Europe produces racing cars that only a few will ever drive.

if they were engineered by chimps, then they would have been really smart chimps. i love my CTS.

[spunkternal]

no they dont. japan and germany make the best quality cars. ford are the top ranked american car manufacturer and they're crap 6th at best. look at the engineering on american suspension compared to european and japanese cars. they're primative.

[Bogracer]

What utter bollocks.

American cars are total rubbish and are about 20 years off the engineering pace of Europe and Japan.

[skatepunkzero]

@MercFriendlyChat I agree with all of the things you said about F1, Le Man, etc but America Dominates Motocross we have the most Motocross Des nations wins! Also ever heard of Ricky Carmichael, James Stewart, Jeff Emig, Jeremy McGrath, Doug Henry, John Dowd, Ryan Villopoto, Ryan Dungy, etc. America is the best at Motocross.

[BiffExploder]

at least we know how to use our brakes...

[spyder2001]

amazing! i love our country roads and the fact that no matter how dark/twisty/narrow they are the limit is always 60MPH :D (until u meet someone coming the other way :s) when i get my licence im going to be searching for roads like these

[MercFriendlyChat]

oh!!! is there a speed limit? I never saw a sign.

[spyder2001]

yeh the white sign with a black line thru it means national speed limit applies (which is 60mph on slingle lane roads)

[karan035]

Since when did UK start measuring distance in miles?

[spyder2001]

always i think :P  continental europe uses Km but the UK has always used miles

[MrJascol]

@karan035 thats a very stupid comment, the UK has always measured distance in Miles.
