12mins Compilation of British Drivers Swearing

This reminds me... I want a small dashcam that backs up via Wifi to a network drive (so I can leave it in my car and not worry about clearing it out)... Any suggestions or anything that does this?

Alternatively something that automatically wipes itself and re-records over.
Pretty much all of them record over the oldest footage when full (footage is normally a series of 3-5 minute clips which can be played back to back seamlessly).

Don't bother thinking about backing up old footage because you'll never need it again. If something actually happens on your journey, either press the emergency button on the side to capture that incident (usually in a separate file in addition to the full journey footage) or just review the full footage when you get home.

I recommend the Transcend DrivePro 220 which has served me well.
 
I really miss the sort of righteous anger you only feel when encountering an utterly incompetent asshole on the street. Like, you, being livid, with the absolut 100% certainty that the other guy is completely wrong.

Then again, in the big city I live now it would probably end with a dead cyclist or passer-by, so I'm fine with not driving around here.
 
the other driver was definitely going too fast, but i was just wondering how is that road supposed to work. assuming the other car would have had time to stop, wouldn't one of them just have had to back up who knows how long until there is some room to pass them? i assume it has to be a private or one way road or something, but that doesn't explain who was going the wrong way.

Roads like that will have passing areas every 100 meters or so, possibly a farm gate you can pull in to, so one of you just sucks it up and backs up, usually whoever is closest. They are common enough in the UK to be on the theory test.
 
So, Ronnie Pickering. The motorcyclist was either trolling IRL or mentally ill, right?


Like, he's stopped for no reason several times and working Ronnie into a rage?

Am I missing anything?
 
The stretch of the A19 next to Doxford Park is always jammed. And don't get me started on the fucking A1 roadworks.

Haha aye, I always see the traffic one way or another if I'm passing around commute time, its brutal. Its only ever one way or the other tho.

I just think they were just both up for having a good old shouting match.
 
It's like a reflection of the nonsense I see on the motorway every day on my to and from work (M1).

And thankyou for the poster who put the video up of the guy lane hogging and getting caught by the police. That shit was cathartic. You get people like that going at the completely inappropriate speed forcing so many people to under-take before the numpty moves over.
 
I probably do around 800-1000 miles a week. It's not that bad to be honest. You get a few numpties, but I think in the last year, I can count the time someone's done something really dangerous on one hand. Great video though, I'm constantly swearing in the car. Mainly at idiots on the motorway that sit in the middle lane.

Mr Pickering was pissed off at him for filtering up to the roundabout, IIRC. Something both legal and generally accepted in the UK

My interpretation was that Mr Pickering was pissed off initially at the roundabout where the motorcyclist was clogging up the lane, but it blew over when the motorcyclist pulled up at the T-junction, had plenty of room and time to turn down the road, but for some reason insisted on letting every other car go. What the motorcyclist did wasn't illegal or frowned upon by most, but it does piss people off, myself included.

Clogging up the lane? Dude filtered up to the lead car and waited for the roundabout to clear. To cut past the lead car and slam around the roundabout would be incredibly irresponsible

There were several opportunities for the motorcyclist to pull out on to the roundabout, yet he didn't take any. He waited until there was no traffic at all to pull out.

In the rain when you're on two wheels and have an insane driver raging behind you, you take your time and don't chance a small gap on a moped
 
Depends on your definition of small gap, but OK.

It was a constant stream of traffic apart from the large gap where the chap was distracted by the raving lunatic behind him. Nobody should be on Ronnie Pickerings side here, nothing occurred that required more than a small tut

I'm on neither side. Ronnie shouldn't have lost his cool like he did there. As you said, all that was needed was a tut or the middle finger. But, the motorcyclist should've just paid attention and kept his eyes on the road - y'know, as the law states - and gone when there was that gap. Neither are saints.

Ignore the guy potentially trying to ram me off the bike, got it
 
1. Fucking hell
2. Fucking wanker.

Top two choices for pissed off motorists in Britain. Best - "Ya dopey cunt." Never fails to make me laugh.

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.
 
This is so fucking hilarious. Sounds like me driving here in the states.

"You fooking tosser."
"Fook my arse."
 
I was visiting my bro in England and his mother was driving us back to their place and she screamed "You dozy tit!" at another driver. It was fantastic.
 
Awesome vids.

You can't beat the brits swearing. We're the best in the world at it.
 
Holy fuck I've never seen the Ronnie Pickering video.

Nearly died.

The sarcastic "oh well, that's brilliant, well go on then, well fuck off then." "'I'm fucking Ronnie Pickering eh, see how famouuus I am!" get's me everytime.

It is just a country road man haha, pretty common, pretty annoying haha. Had to deal wiith them when down in cornwall or up north some places.

Sometimes it is a case of yeah, reversing back until i's a bit wider and can get both cars to pass. Usually there will be areas that are a bit wider every now and then.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
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.
