12mins Compilation of British Drivers Swearing

There were a couple of those that I thought the camera-drivers were in the wrong. Do British roads not have colored lines to indicate one- or two-way streets? In the US, a road with two-way traffic will have a yellow line.

At what point at the roundabout did Pickering try to knock the motorcyclist off his bike? I think you may have watched a different video to me, pal. Pickering beeped his horn, yelled, and revved his engine like a twat, but I didn't see him once accelerate into the back of the motorcycle.

So, you would never look back at a driver who was beeping his horn, yelling at you, and revving his engine to make sure he wasn't going to hit you? okay.gif

What did they even do?

Based on the comments, driving in lane 2/3 at night when you're not passing? And they're hated for it? Nothing wrong with this in the states.

That's because we don't allow passing on either side - you should only overtake on the right of another car. So that car in lane 3 of a 3 lane motorway meant nobody could get past him legally.

Highway Code states that the lanes are for passing only and you should move over to the left as soon as you can. I.e if there is no traffic on the road, you should be back in lane 1.

Do the Brits have the same rules at roundabouts as we do in the States? I saw some weirdness going on there even with the people who were seemingly driving correctly.

roundabouts are a free-for-all

Reminds me of the fat loser in a shit heap Ford Falcon who screamed up the breakdown lane and abused my father (the driver of the car I was in) because he didn't take off at the lights quick enough. I actually thought there might be something wrong with our car because I couldn't hear what he was saying, so I suggested my father pull over, at which point the moron got out of his car and started abusing us.

During the ensuing conversation I explained to him that if he was in a rush perhaps he should concentrate on driving and that in fact his act of road rage had resulted in him losing much more time than him being held up by my father taking off at a reasonable rate.

At the end of the conversation he claimed to be the vice president of one of the notorious bikie gangs and that with one phone call he could get a bunch of bikies to turn up and torch the car. I suggested he do so started dialling the cops.

Lol at 50 second mark.

"Look at this fuck head. Ahh, what a wanker. See that? What a fucking dickhead"

Makes me homesick and I haven't even left the country.

Yeah. He was deliberately being a dick. You often see people cruising in the middle land but they're typically just oblivious to the rules. Anyone driving in the outside (e.g. furthest right) lane with no one inside him is just begin a twat for the sake of it because, technically, you're not supposed to 'undertake' (pass someone on the left, although I do it fairly regularly to middle lane dickheads when the alternative is to change lanes twice to go round them and then change lanes twice more to get back to where you're supposed to be). He then confirms his dickhead status by 'braketesting' the copper which is something twats do to annoy people behind them, safe in the knowledge that, without camera evidence, any crash will be deemed to be the fault of the guy behind.

so who was wrong at 1:37, or were both of them driving somewhere they should not have been?

There are a lot of country lanes like that, you're meant to drive slow, especially since that was one big blind bend, ideally they should have both stopped in time, then one would either pull off the road a bit for the other to squeeze by, or one reversed to where the road is wider so the other could squeeze by.

The incoming was just way too fast.
 
Im having a a very bad couple of weeks and this put a smile on my face.

One thing:

You guys let stuff go right, It seems like you get over it real quick which is kind of cool.
 
Russian dash cam compilations are always a sure source of entertainment.
 
Semi related. In town there are a lot of cyclists. I once saw a car pull out a parking space and nearly take a guy on his bike clean out. He swerved and basically shook his fist and carries on.

Woman got out of her car, which has others in it, and, on a crowded street, proceeded to scream such a torrent of invective I have never heard before. Quite astonishing. I get she may have been shake but I she had hit him it would have been at c.5mph.

Just don't get that shit.

I get nearly killed about once a fortnight on my pushie. I don't think I'm the common denominator but I've started to question myself due to the frequency. I've had it before where I've just resigned myself and braced for impact but miraculously a pathway opened up and I slotted through.

My favourite from the British swears video is the cyclist who dings his bell instinctively as if the driver could hear or would even care.

That is SO bad. There was a HGV driver done for killing someone as he was watching porn whilst driving (the cops got access to his Internet records).

I can't believe the lengths people will go to for a five knuckle shuffle.

Maybe lorry drivers should be encouraged to pick up hitchikers to help out. So that way they can both get to where they need to go safely.
