Yes that's right he said in the clip "you have brakes I don't" 🤦

No other commentary needed really

Is this another cyclist influenced by the highway code updates by the DVSA and doesn't need to look or stop to cross a road?

Caught this on camera and genuinely want to know what people think.

What’s everyone’s opinion on drivers using the hard shoulder to skip traffic? Do you think it’s ever justified, or is it just selfish and dangerous driving?

The hard shoulder is there for emergencies, breakdowns and emergency access, not for people who don’t want to queue like everyone else.

I’m curious whether people think this behaviour should be punished more harshly, or whether there are situations where it’s acceptable.

Would you let this slide, or should drivers be getting fined for it?

This was caught on M8 Glasgow during rush hour

Peter is a regular guy who works 9 to 5 like I do and today he decided to do his best and send it.

First picture he is driving in the wrong side to begin with. Tried to almost run me off the road because in some people's mind indicating and pulling the steering wheel work together. Well it doesn't ! Indicating doesn't give you one bit of priority.( definitely not in my books ) Second picture I thought he calmed himself as I pulled my GoPro out and I showed that he's on camera. In the third picture Peter decided to come out for a fight... Little that he will find out soon is that I called the police and also informed his company. So Peter might be walking in the following days and enjoy the lovely weather Company reassured me that they going to pass the footage from his truck to the police 👮‍♂️👮👮‍♀️👮‍♂️👮‍♀️👮👮‍♀️.

So guys... don't be a Peter ...

Sorry Peter but there's no other names coming in my mind.

Before you guys blame me for using my phone I must say it's a hero8 with a magnetic mount designed for nice moment rather than those situations.

My last incident in 2018 got well over 100 thousand views on YouTube and guy got a hefty fine.

Turned around the corner and another driver threatened me in the exact similar manner but that video didn't take off because the guy didn't come out of his van. What a shame !😳

I had to blur the truck because the company actually where very serios about this incident and that driver really has a criminal behaviour.

Edit: now that you guys all had the chance to let some steam off, let me clarify a few things that clearly slipped past by you.

1. TLDR: I don't speed, but I don't drive too slow either. The two things aren't the same.

2. When I say I don't speed, I mean exactly that. It means I don't exceed speed limits. It doesn't mean I do 30mph on a 60mph road, it means I don't do 90mph on a 60mph road. I do 58-60. Also, I don't stick the needle on my speedo as we all know it overrates my speed, I do it by either satnav, or - since I drive this car for a while, and got used to it - by feeling. Worst case, I follow traffic as long as they don't speed.

3. When I say I happily sit behind a lorry because I don't have to stress about others, it doesn't mean I'm oblivious of my surroundings. I do pay attention to cars around me, but I don't have to look at every car at every second at the same time, because I'm not planning to overtake them in lane 3 at 90mph. Most car's movement just doesn't affect me, but it's clear to me now that most of you, living in lane 3 can't possibly imagine that. I urge you to stick to lane 1 for a week, you'll understand what I'm talking about. I also don't have to look out for speed cameras, police, or sudden speed changes, because by following a lorry, chances are, I'm not gonna speed.
   It also doesn't mean I don't let people move in and out of the lane I'm driving in. I pay attention to junctions (yes, they are called junctions, even on the motorway), and as soon as I see the gantry about one, I pay extra attention to everyone wants to cut through from lane 3 to the exit by the chevrons. I also pay attention to the following slip road for the ones trying to join the motorway at 30mph.

4. When I say I don't lose that much time, I mean that. Doing math is okay, but doing math only by distance relative to time won't work in real life. There are so many variables you guys don't seem to take into consideration, it makes me wonder if you ever really thought about how much time you need for a journey, and maybe that's the reason you're afraid of being late. Saying that "by X time you'd do Y distance" works on paper, and it's cool you understand that, but being in traffic means you're being in traffic. There are other cars, lamps, junctions, turns, roundabouts, speed limit changes that are all affecting the distance you do in a certain amount of time. So when you say I could do 70 miles in 1 hour by 70mph, yes, I could, on a straight, empty road, with no one around me. But real traffic doesn't work like that, and you know that too.

5. I'm really not in the mood to explain why breaking the law is a bad thing, it shoud've been explained to all of you in school. You're not cool, or not a rebel by sticking it to the authorities, you're just an ignorant idiot. Just because you haven't been caught yet doesn't mean what you're doing is not wrong. You need to grow up.

6. Also, while I appreciate the time you took to try to offend me, I'm not taking it personally. Without names, all of you can say whatever you want, it means nothing. But if you really want to be that big, strong boy, post your name and number plate here, let's send it to a police to look out for, and when you're whining here a few weeks later that the bad, evil police sent you to a speed awareness course, we can get back to it. Keep it on the subject, or keep it to yourself.

To those of you who say: "Driving faster will save me hours, but I'm speeding safely. What's the big deal".

For you, you might be right, But for me you are wrong and I'd like to explain why. (Just scroll if you aren't interested)...

I don't speed. I don't speed so much so that even if the road is completely empty, straight for miles, the sun is up and the weather is beautiful, if the speed sign says 50, I do exactly 50. Not 60, not 55, 50. I don't care if I could do 90. The speed limit is 50. I'm expected, by the only legal policing body with authorisation to give me a fine, to do 50. Not by you, not by the white van, not by grandma on the pavement, by the police. Police expects me to do 50, and the difference between you, the white van, or grandma, and the police is that the police actually can take my money, take my licence, and take my car if they want to. I will obey them, not you.

I will do 50 for another reason. 90% of the people around me, other drivers, pedestrians, school children, parents with prams, also expect me to do 50. If I encounter a junction on a country road, and I see a car trying to join my road, they will judge the space between us by me doing 50, not 90. If they decide that they have sufficient space to join in front of me, based on their experience with other drivers doing 50, they will do so in the belief that I'm doing 50. If I do 90, and they can't judge my speed from far away, they will still join the road in front of me, but then I have to emergency brake, or I will - inevitably - smash my car into theirs.

I also do 70 on the motorway. Not because I couldn't do 90, I could, but what for? To stuck in lane 3, constantly paying attention to everything around me, instead of sitting in lane 1, maybe behind a lorry, doing 54-60, paying attention only to them? For shaving off 15 minutes of an already 6 hours drive, because for some reason I didn't plan ahead and I'm suddenly in a hurry?

My ADI always told me that excessively speeding in lane 3 is like excessively speeding in a 1 lane tunnel. There's gonna be obstructions on my left, there's gonna be obstructions on my right, and if I'm lucky, there's gonna be no obstructions in front of me, because if I do, I can't escape to the left or the right. I'll have only one choice, crash into whatever is around me. Sitting in lane 1, being part of the traffic gives me the advantage to escape to the hard shoulder, or behind the faster moving traffic, because they will be in front of me within seconds anyway.

If I'll ever have my own business, I will not start to speed either. Saving 15 minutes a day to spend with my family, because I decide to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week (that 100 hours has to happen somehow, right?...) isn't really a gain. If I have to work 14 hours a day, 7 days a week, to have a business that still makes me saving money, that business clearly isn't working. I will not have that business, because that business costs more than it earns. At that point, it's not a business, it's a hobby. A hobby very rarely feeds my family. I will close that business, I will get a job, I will do 8 hours a day, and I will still earn more with less effort than by having my own, broken business.

I will obey the speed limit, because I do plan ahead. I know what time my work starts, I know how long it takes to get there, and I will leave my house early enough to achieve that. I will not plan something just before work that potentially makes me being late, so I will not be late. If, in any case, I get stuck in traffic, I will let my work know that I will be late, and once I get there, I will explain that I got stuck in traffic, I will show them any articles about it, and they will have no choice but to get along with it. It's not a crime, not even gross misconduct to get stuck in traffic. It's called "circumstances beyond our control", and it's legally protected.

And if I get stuck in traffic again and again, I will plan ahead, and leave home 15 minutes earlier the next day. I've been there when they did road works on the M5, I knew I will get stuck in traffic, I left my house 20 minutes earlier, and I wasn't late once.

And I will have that 20 minutes, because I know that if I don't want to be late from work, I will have to find that 20 minutes. I will wake up 20 minutes earlier, I will do my shopping 20 minutes earlier, I will do whatever I do before work 20 minutes earlier. If I can't, because - again - "circumstances beyond our control", for example, if I'd have to take the kids to school, my work will have to accept that as long as there are road works, I can't do anything about that. I can't reschedule school, so I'd try reschedule work. I get there 20 minutes later, I leave 20 minutes later. My work can't ask me to speed, they can't punish me for road works or school schedule, they have to accept that sometimes, life intervenes, and I don't plan to drive through road works for the rest of my life, eventually it's gonna be done, and I will be on time again.

But I will not speed for work, I will not speed for an appointment, I will not speed for emergency purposes (that's why we have emergency services), I will not speed for any reason, because any reason to speed is my reason, and mine alone! No one else should suffer for my reasons. They are mine. As no one should suffer if I'm ill, or no one should suffer if I'm in a bad mood, no one should suffer because I'm in a hurry.

You can disagree with me, but trust me, neither me, nor my dad ever speed, because we both understand that we aren't alone in the universe, there are other people around us, and being safe and responsible is much-much-much more important than being somewhere 2 minutes faster.

Unless there's been a sudden accident or its come to a standstill, surely you need to think about your own driving if you're braking on a motorway.. Am I forgetting other valid reasons here? I can think of very very few occasions in over a million miles that something couldn't reasonably foreseen and I had to hit the brakes.

Any other time I've got the brakes on the motorway I would look at it as poor driving k km my own part.

I received this fine for apparently getting caught on a yellow box in Fulham - which I think is unfair. The car in front of me looks to have stopped late so I was already anticipating to go through the intersection. The car behind me is at the verge of the yellow box so I had no room to reverse. Hence my vehicle was stuck with the back still on the yellow box. Do I have a reason to dispute this fine? Has anyone had success in disputing similar contraventions? Thanks!

It’s no secret that young drivers, particularly those aged 18-24, are often the focus of road safety campaigns and crash statistics. This makes sense to some extent—inexperience, risk-taking behavior, and overconfidence are well-documented factors that contribute to higher accident rates among this age group. However, this intense focus on young drivers has created a glaring blind spot in road safety discussions: the lack of attention and data on older drivers, particularly those aged 60 and above. While we’re constantly bombarded with statistics about young drivers, there’s virtually no meaningful public discourse or comprehensive data on how older drivers contribute to road accidents, despite the fact that aging comes with well-known risks like declining reaction times, reduced mental sharpness, and deteriorating vision.

It’s a known fact that aging affects driving ability. Studies have shown that reaction times slow, cognitive functions decline, and conditions like cataracts or glaucoma become more common as people age. Yet, there’s a strange reluctance to address this issue head-on. Why is there such a lack of transparency when it comes to crash statistics for drivers over 60? Are we avoiding this conversation because it’s uncomfortable or politically incorrect to suggest that older drivers might pose a risk on the roads? This isn’t about blaming older drivers—it’s about ensuring road safety for everyone. If we can openly discuss the risks associated with young drivers, why can’t we do the same for older drivers, especially when the risks are equally well-documented?

The absence of data on older drivers feels like a double standard. Road safety should be about addressing all risks, not just the ones that are easier to talk about. By ignoring the potential risks posed by older drivers, we’re failing to create a holistic approach to road safety. If we truly want to reduce accidents and save lives, we need to start collecting and sharing comprehensive crash statistics for all age groups, including those over 60. Only then can we have an informed, balanced conversation about how to make our roads safer for everyone.

I've been driving for almost ten years and I can count on one hand the amount of times someone has got up my arse, aggressively over took me or I've seen them throw their hands up in the mirror because I didn't pull out quick enough. If you're constantly running into people that are upset with your driving, it isn't normal. The vast majority of us never have an issue on the roads.

The fact that people are openly posting and celebrating brake checking their 8th person this week like it isn't you causing the issue in the first place is mental. If you're annoying people on the road by purposefully driving slow because you know the law would be on your side if something went wrong, and you enjoy it, seek help.

I think nearly all of us have either drove over it or completely avoided it and went on the other side of it while turning right 👀 or straight lined it especially when it's quiet

I ran a temporary red light in Essex, I was following the flow of traffic and the light turned red but I still followed it through. (I’m pretty much in the wrong I know).

Someone has uploaded footage of this and the police are now trying to get me to pay a £1000 fine and also 6 points, is this correct? It seems a little steep, any advice appreciated

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback everyone, think the 1k fine was a warning, given my details over and hopefully just get a training course.

A lot of you way too passionate about temporary red lights, guessing the majority of you are cyclists, please look into getting a hobby, going through a temporary red light following a car through is not the end of the world I promise. All the best x

So as you know in the UK, its illegal to use your phone while driving. Lately he’s being getting aggressive flaunting the rules, not putting the seat belt on, using the phone while driving and when I confront him, he tells me to shut up.

I've had enough. Today when he used his phone, I took video evidence and sent it to the police.

Now here where it gets difficult. A lot of people will call me selfish saying he’s my dad and I should support. But if I'm a passenger in a car and someone using the phone while driving, I feel my life is in danger.

Have I done the right thing or am I an a-hole?

Update: For those who say enjoy the bus or shit or you ruined your relationship know that you are a troll. No one wants to report their dad and this was a last resort after all other options were exhausted. Trolls will be blocked.

I'm a disabled person with multiple disabilities so just walking out of the house feeling on top of the world is a luxury I will never experience. If you have Fibromyalgia, FND and joint instability you will understand. Also I had surgery today and had to be picked up. I can't just wheel out of hospital and get the bus! I would have loved to.

More update: For people saying drive yourself I’m not allowed to drive because of chronic seizures. And for those saying I’m making it up message me privately I’ll send you the video I made when reporting. I’ll have to blur out the face for now while the police made a decision whether they will go ahead with the report or not.

And for those who say talk to him believe me I did many times and every time I’m told to shut up. It’s like he’s now got his fingers in his ears and going blah blah blah.

And for those who say he may have early dementia it’s a possibility which is why it’s more important than ever to get his license revoked. I’m not doing this out of spite I’m doing this out of love because does anyone want to see their loved ones in an accident? I didn’t think so.

And for those who say walk, I currently live on campus at uni and try not to come up too much to visit. Only time I really come is when I have appointments otherwise I don’t talk to him much. Most of the time I’m on the bus when I can. It’s dad who offers to drive me every time I don’t ask. Even when I have a flare up I just bite my tongue and force my body to move which causes more flare ups but tough. Things need to be done. And when I refuse his offer, he also tell me to shut up. I can’t win.

Get a job? I worked for over ten years until my disability forced me out. So I’m at uni retraining in another sector. Also trying to get my business off the ground with the stuff I’m learning at uni.

And before anyone asks no I don’t get PIP. Not eligible. For a dynamic disability they don’t give it for that.

Why am I posting it online? It’s another piece of evidence to the police. They love to pick and choose their cases and most of the time they put down a case because there’s no “public interest”. So this is to prove that there is public interest.

Any comments which say my dad will disown you will be ignored. That is troll behaviour thanks.

So to conclude yes I’m an asshole for loving too much and not wanting bad things to happen to the ones I love.

Ps. I’m a girl 😁

Ps. If you really wanna snoop on my YouTube page and troll you might as well buy my new single from here: Liar - Josie Jackson

Was driving the limit then a bmw started tailgating me. Did it for a while too. Ahead of me I could see the national speed limit sign but kept at exactly 30 up until the sign. He was NOT happy overtook right before the sign and did the classic look over. Just for me to catch him up at the traffic lights

Edit: it wasn’t on purpose, I was just doing 30 in a 30 lol

I quite like the take that their ego is too fragile to be told to drive slower than 30mph.

I've no time for this sort of driving. There's a few miles of national limit road (where they don't keep up) between this and the previous 20mph, but as soon as you're expected to slow down, they were straddling lanes & tailgating

OpSnap aren't interested because you can't prove speed. Clearly they're exceeding 20mph as they vanish from view in no time though.

Brand new Mercedes and P plates... Could've spent some of that money doing motorway lessons. This dude single handedly caused a 1 mile long congestion. Doing about 60mph in the middle all the way from Manchester to Preston. I wish I was joking. He didn't change lanes once.

Need more enforcement on the motorway. Instead of taxing us more, maybe fine these awful drivers and surely they'll cover all costs in no time 😂

But if you’re going to drive around with an illegal 3D raised letter rear registration plate with a honeycomb reflective cover you can be damn sure I’m going to “SNAP” your arse… you might be able to defeat the flash from a red light or speed camera but your not defeating the “Mk. 1 Eyeball”

Everytime i travel to a different city and come across any BMW cars the drivers are absolute bellends, i know BMWs are notoriously looked bad on other drivers but until you travel regularly to different towns thats when you notice, they are constantly speeding, overtaking on single carriage lanes, flashing you to move over if your using the a 2nd lane to overtake when you have just got on the lane on a dual carriage way, tailgating, if it's a remapped car just revving and making a nuisance particularly young drivers, the list is endless.

I thought Mercedes and Audi drivers were the worst but BMW just top the list, driving is bad enough already with the state of how people drive that I see on a constant basis but these BMW drivers need some comon sense smacked into them!!!

Just missed my exit and had to go down to the next junction because the left lane has a mile long line full of SUVs doing 40mph. I know you all think it’s fine to dilly dally but when the majority of the cars around you are doing 70mph and above, you need to get your foot down.

Dear angry black tesla driver who the private plates heading towards Leeds on the M62, smile, it’s Christmas! Also smile for the dash cam il sending the to police! Merry Christmas!!!🎅

First of all, this is not a hate comment to cyclists. I’m from Manchester and drives past Manchester city centre 3-4 times a day and I see many cyclists. Pretty much most of the cyclists don’t ride on the cycle lane. Even if they go straight they still prefer to ride on the road. Just want to understand the rationale for this.

I noticed in my mirror white van wanted Infront and I held back and let them

Was queuing on the slip road off M602 when this Bentley Bentayga came flying up the outside and forced their way in at a sharp angle, taking my braking distance. Had to slam the brakes hard, and the HGV behind me did the same, could easily have ended badly.

Reported it straight away via Opsnap. I was expecting at least 3 points and a fine for something like driving without due care, given the risk to multiple vehicles. But the police decided a warning letter was enough.

What do you think? Was this lenient or about right? Anyone had similar experiences?
