The Dash Camera Thread (Videos)

So apparently this thread has reached a point where its acceptable to call children 'retards' because they crossed the road in front of you at a junction where prioritys are blurred and where the Highway Code states you should be careful anyway as a driver anyway because you may not have been heard or seen. :bang: well I hope you and your camera feel big and clever it obviously makes you far more important than anyone else.

Oh and getting stroppy about a taxi driver dropping of a disabled person in a wheel chair maybe inconveniencing you for 40 seconds........

Time to start looking at your priorities in life probably taken 10 times longer to edit the video

You really aren't safe to be let out are you?
Have you actually read the highway code?
Rules for pedestrians...
STOP
LOOK
LISTEN
(highway code rule 7 D) If traffic is coming, let it pass. Look all around again and listen. Do not cross until there is a safe gap in the traffic and you are certain that there is plenty of time.
Rule 8 At a junction. When crossing the road, look out for traffic turning into the road, especially from behind you. If you have started crossing and traffic wants to turn into the road, you have priority and they should give way

The kid did none of those things - but his mates and the other pedestrian did - he was too busy being a f**kwit to even bother looking to see if there was anything coming the other way.

Blurred priorities? Are you serious? It's a road, traffic has priority. All the other pedestrians realised this. It's not shared priority or a pedestrianised zone or some sort of complicated junction.

Anyway if we were watching the same video, you will have noticed anyway that the kid was watching me anyway as he was crossing anyway. He did what he did on purpose, so your assumption of me not being seen is blown completely out of the water.
And anyway, I was literally yards from the junction as he stepped off the kerb.
And as for the taxi driver dropping off disabled people - what the F*** do you think I do all day long? I carry elderly and disabled passengers - I pick them up and drop them off - but what I don't do is block a road to do either.
Again, HAVE YOU actually READ the highway code?
I very much doubt it judging by your stupid comments.
However -

You MUST NOT wait or park on yellow lines during the times of operation shown on nearby time plates (or zone entry signs if in a Controlled Parking Zone) – download ‘Traffic signs’ (PDF, 486KB) and ‘Road markings’ (PDF, 731KB). Double yellow lines indicate a prohibition of waiting at any time even if there are no upright signs. You MUST NOT wait or park, or stop to set down and pick up passengers, on school entrance markings (download ‘Road markings’ (PDF, 731KB)) when upright signs indicate a prohibition of stopping.
Law RTRA sects 5 & 8
242

You MUST NOT leave your vehicle or trailer in a dangerous position or where it causes any unnecessary obstruction of the road.
Laws RTA 1988, sect 22 & CUR reg 103
243

DO NOT stop or park
  • anywhere you would prevent access for Emergency Services<<<<<
Since his parking there meant I could not get by, then neither could the emergency services - what if ambulance or fire brigade had come tearing up the road as he was unloading?
  • opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space That was actually ON the junction
  • on a bend Yep, that was ON a bend
  • 247

    Loading and unloading. Do not load or unload where there are yellow markings on the kerb and upright signs advise restrictions are in place (see pages 115-116). This may be permitted where parking is otherwise restricted. On red routes, specially marked and signed bays indicate where and when loading and unloading is permitted.

when you've quite finished ranting and raving, firstly the highway code give priority to pedestrians on a junction as he had his foot on the road before you had arrived at the give way markings, he had priority over you, that said he is not an adult you can't judge him by adult standards and as such who do you think would have been in the right i'f you'd knocked him down......?

secondly after a torrent of highway code quotes, dos and don't how inconsiderate/dangerous/idiotic etc the taxi driver was.... you then go pull up on double yellow lines.......

anyway who died and made you militant king of the highway code? there are worse things going on in the world than a 40 second delay on your journey or a young boy crossing the road badly just because you can quote rules and regulations from the highway code it doesn't make you big and clever it just highlights the issues raised by other on this threads of those with cameras in their cars, thinking they are some how infallible and holier than thou

I am certain you will find that pedestrians simply ARE NOT allowed to step ontpo a road in front of a moving vehicle and expect them to stop. Rule 7D. If traffic is coming, let it pass. If you look at rules 18 on, covering zebra crossings, it clearly says wait until traffic has stopped.
that said he is not an adult you can't judge him by adult standards and as such who do you think would have been in the right i'f you'd knocked him down......?

" you then go pull up on double yellow lines......."
We have blue badges because of the people we carry (you may have noticed me parked in the same spot in other videos. p48, post 712 for example)
http://www.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/t...ormation/disabled-drivers-blue-badge-holders/

"Badge holders may usually park on single or double yellow lines for up to three hours except where there is a ban on loading/unloading."
As indicated by the very worn yellow marks, there was once a ban on loading/unloading, this is no longer in force.

Well as in the video the 'taxi' is a hackney carriage and not a mini cab it is also legally allowed to stop on double yellowed to pick up and drop off.

But seriously do you not have any patients or understanding or do you drive around in a permanent rage because no one obeys the Highway Code?

My serious objection here is to calling members of the public 'muppets' and children 'Retards' from behind the guise of an anonymous account. When really all they did was inconvenience you a little. 'Retard' is a pretty contemptible word anyway made ten times worse when used by a grown man towards a child

And I should point out I'm not a doctor (my patner is) but I do still hold a registration with the driving standards agency as a provisional driving instructor (from many years ago) where I passed all the theory aspects and driving aspects but never completed the teaching assessments. That said I am more than aware of the ins and outs of the Highway Code,

I get to see the results of those who can barely walk driving it usually isn't pretty and people get badly hurt, dvla has a lot of rules on when you can and can't drive related to medical issues or treatments and I spend a good chunk of my day informing people about these rules.

I completely agree with showing videos of people on motor bikes swerving around putting them self and everyone else at risk or a van jumping the patiently waiting traffic, the taxi driver and the kid crossing the junction well it's all a bit sanctimonious

But it IS NOT legally allowed to block access to side roads, it IS not legally allowed to park on a corner, it IS NOT legally allowed to block a street

But seriously do you not have any patients or understanding or do you drive around in a permanent rage because no one obeys the Highway Code? Of course I have patients, I'm driving them around all day, even my patients complained about the taxi driver and the idiot kid

Like it was sanctimonious of you to video some poor old boy struggling to walk & posting it behind an anonymous account?

Nope you're not at all sanctimonious are you :rolleyes:

Go for your life, I'm sure its just what you need to keep you feeling big and clever (y)

Of course the 'old boy' was an error on my part the video was deactivated and somewhere along the lines got reactivated, it is now deleted so that it can't happen again, I also learnt from this and now just report these 'poor old boys' to the dvla and leave them to deal with it (as I did with the driver in the video) because if yours struggling to walk you're not really in any position to pull off a timely emergency stop when some kid runs out without thinking (as they do) nothing sanctimonious about that!
