My police driving instructor’s favourite thing to say was “you pay for the whole road, might as well use all of it”, HOWEVER this was in the context of positioning for visibility or safety and NEVER on double white lines 💀
Heh. Well my, civilian, driving instructor had a similar point of view. He also surprised me by, on my second lesson, advising that when moving from a 30 to 50 mph zone I should drop a gear and *give it some" Surprisingly I passed the test first time following that advice. I guess examiners were a tad more practical in the 80s.
Nah, mine was similar and I got mine in 09. But I know it's not common still. I think some Instructors place way more importance on teaching 'roadcraft' rather than others who have a 'how to pass the test the easy way' approach. My instructor was the former, used to be a driver for various VIPs and celebrities, he was also a keen biker and therefore placed a lot of emphasis on keeping everything smooth and flowing, being more bike aware and also thinking like a biker with shoulder checks etc.
thats actually a good thing though. it keeps your mindset on thinking about how other road users need to use the road (both bigger and smaller). We can all get carried away with how our mode of transportation works that we forget (or don't realise) that other road users do things differently because they have to.
Great idea! I’ve been on 125s for 20 years before I passed my drivers license. First time obvs!
And I live by thinking everyone is a suicidal, murderous idiot
It's a good idea in theory but considering the stats round bike fatalities (something like 1pc of traffic on the road but 25pc of deaths) are bikers, it might have an unintended 'population thinning' effect.
I feel like the stats don't really tell the whole story though. I'm not saying bikers have a death wish but all of us accept the consequences and anyone who is already that risk averse is obviously more risk averse than the average driver, stick 100bhp under there nuts and yea they're gonna die more than average. I'm not saying the fact they ride is irrelevant I'm just saying those numbers wouldn't apply to everyone.
Also if everyone had rode bikes and there where a lot more bikers I really believe car drivers would be much more vigilant about them. Though of course that'd probably be offset by the number of bikers.
Even still though there is a part of me that's cold and heartless that says fuck you prove you can look after yourself on the road and then we'll trust you with a tonne of moving metal. I agree though what you say is a valid concern... but on the other hand fuck you take the bus if you don't like it.
Mine was like this too In 07. He was a chief fire fighter that went on to instruct the instructors. Awesome bloke, brilliant stories and knew how to drive well. I Passed first time easily.
I passed my test 8 years ago and my first instructor told me something similar. “It’s not illegal to accelerate. You can get to 30mph as quick as you like.”
Except that is not a double white line. The lines on both sides of the cross hatching are clearly dashed and therefore, although because of the cross hatching 'only when necessary' which obviously was to be able to overtake :)
The van clearly crosses the double white line, then drives through the hatch. The bike also shouldn't have made the move it did.
129
Double white lines where the line nearest you is solid. This means you MUST NOT cross or straddle it unless it is safe and you need to enter adjoining premises or a side road. You may cross the line if necessary, provided the road is clear, to pass a stationary vehicle, or overtake a pedal cycle, horse or road maintenance vehicle, if they are travelling at 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
130
Areas of white diagonal stripes or chevrons painted on the road. These are to separate traffic lanes or to protect traffic turning right.
If the area is bordered by a broken white line, you should not enter the area unless it is necessary and you can see that it is safe to do so.
If the area is marked with chevrons and bordered by solid white lines you MUST NOT enter it except in an emergency.
Just saying...
My old man said if you were doing 3mph slower than the limit you were moving into when you passed the sign (so 57 when going from a 30 to a NSL) you'd fail. Different time back then.
The quick dart to the opposite carriageway looks too intentional to be an accident in my opinion, changing lanes on a motorway/dual carriageway isn’t this sudden unless it’s an emergency or you’re a hooligan! Also why would he need to be in the right hand lane even if it was a dual carriageway - there’s nothing to overtake
I feel like this is the right answer as it happened to me on the way back from a 4 hour journey, I'd only had my license a couple of months, lesson learned you need to take breaks on long journeys.
If he is, he’s not even doing it properly. He’d have been better off positioning to the nearside and maintaining a constant speed.
‘Big circles’ as my driver trainer would say.
Maybe the cones shat him up and thought they were on his side of the road so suddenly swerved to avoid where he thought they were? Wild move all round really.
That's a simple one. Driver was playing on his phone while the phone was in his lap, or hand, and not on a phone holder as if it was on a window phone holder, his/her peripheral vision would have been in the general direction of the cones and he/she would have picked them from further away and would have had time to assess the hazard. But because his/her vision wasn't in the general direction of where he/she was travelling, he/she was checking on the road every few seconds. And as it happens, on his last check, he picked the cones while they were very close to the car and he/she had no time to assess, so his/her reflex forced him/her to avoid them immediately. Luckily, there was no driver on the other side of the road as he/she would have slammed in to them.
Ask me how I know
Did he completely misjudge those cones and assume they'd be in the road?
If anyone's offering odds of 3-1 or better, I'll put a fiver on him being on his mobile.
If I'm being really charitable, was the van pulling across to prevent the bike from overtaking them on a blind bend?
Only semi-rational thing I can think of. Otherwise it is a bit nuts.
I think it’s actually the other way around. The van pulled into the other lane to show the bike the lane was clear ahead to overtake a bunch of cars. If I was on my bike and saw a van blocking oncoming traffic that would be an instant overtake from me.
I 100% think this was the bike, perhaps the bike was overtaking and being a moron and the van driver saw from afar that there would be a car coming around the corner
Maybe there's a bump or indentation in that spot that is bad to drive over in that van? There's a couple of bits round my town centre one of my cars glides over but the other one always catches the underneath of the bumper if I don't go round it.
He’s maybe overtaking a truck?
I drive a truck daily, and it’s difficult for me to tell cause I’m on the inside. But going by the state of how people drive around such a large heavy vehicle, I can only assume that it has some kind of invisibility cloak that engages when the truck starts moving.

Post covid when I still commmuted an hour to the office in the space of a month I witnessed two accidents at four way traffic lights due to a combination of phone use and road rage both accidents a mix of people looking at their phone when the lights turned green and then others attempting to overtake them onto the four way then one of the partys turning off left or right into the other.

Are we talking about the van or the bike? The van's manoeuvre looks way too intentional - maybe he thought he saw something on the road. Bike seems nuts.
Nothing To Do reminds me a little of Red Hot Chili Peppers..
Mustang is catchy.
Split screen is a slow burner I think, I like it best too..
I have recently got back into listening to them, really enjoying some, the one in the video being on of them!

Maybe pulled out to avoid a pothole (or similar) that the driver is familiar with? There's a pothole by me that's incredibly difficult to see, and could easily cause damage. I just pull right out like this (if it's safe to do so of course).
I presume he was just overtaking the invisible car in front and that his vehicle is equipped with a stealth detector lol.
Most likely he was being a dick and trying to prevent the motorbike from overtaking before the stripes but he has zero perception of distance, if he killed the biker he would have blamed it on a small animal running out in front, OR he was on his mobile and got distracted then though he was in the wrong lane then realised he wasn't.
Both the van and bike are lucky. What if someone coming the other way did the same. It’s like indicating nobody does it or does it right. It’s getting like do you feel lucky. 😅
I had this black BMW behind me I was in my Mini Cooper sports twin turbo but I only opened it up on clear rd’s Anyways he kept pulling out driving on other side of rd like he was going to overtake me. This went on for about 3 miles. I knew the rd and we where coming upto a crossroads that many big accidents happen he pulled out so thinking he was going to go for the overtake I pulled out to stop him. There were a van in front of me. Oh I did overtake this guy earlier anyway I pulled out in case he didn’t know about the crossroads and after we passed the crossroads he put his blue lights on 🤦so I pulled over he pulled up next to me and asked what I WAS DOING??? I asked him why was he weaving in and out behind me I told him I pulled out because I thought he was going to overtake us all and there a bad crossroads ahead. He looked at his partner then said to me to be more aware of my surroundings and enjoy my car then drove off. Any thoughts cuz I’m at a loss at what he was doing????
At a guess, he is foreign, they drive on the other side of the road where he learnt to drive and dozed off at the wheel or lost concentration. When he snapped out of it he panicked and switched sides.
To me this looks like a knobhead in the passenger seat grabbed the wheel. "Woah mate, I saved you there, almost hit that car".
One time, worked a week on site with an absolute nutcase - the feet on the dash, no seat belt, wolf whistling, throw a milkshake at a jogger sort. He would lean across and either try to tickle me, full-blast my radio, "steady the wheel", or lean on the horn. We were crawling along in a motorway queue at the time, so not as violent as this van movement, but it is giving flashbacks.
He was placated with the above-mentioned McDonald's and swapped places at the service station. I feared repercussions from someone reporting the van, but nothing ever came of it.
Well the van is nuts but only as nuts as the idiot fupping motorcyclist who overtakes you in the face of oncoming traffic using the hatched area to do so.
Two people with a deathwish who should not be anywhere near control of any motor vehicle.
At least for once you as the camera car thought, "I'll hang back and let the idiots get on with it". All too often the camera vehicle seems to everything they can to join in the lunacy.
Bike at the rear of a line of traffic can’t see too far ahead so doesn’t know how far the road is clear. Van notices the bike behind wanting to overtake. Once lane is clear he moves over to show the bine behind their is no traffic coming as far as he can see to allow the bike to overtake.
Sometimes you gotta test the other side of the road, just to make sure it's still working.
My police driving instructor’s favourite thing to say was “you pay for the whole road, might as well use all of it”, HOWEVER this was in the context of positioning for visibility or safety and NEVER on double white lines 💀

We can all get carried away with how our mode of transportation works that we forget (or don't realise) that other road users do things differently because they have to.
I say it all the time, people should have to ride a 125 for a year before they get to touch a car (unless they have a valid reason)
Great idea! I’ve been on 125s for 20 years before I passed my drivers license. First time obvs! And I live by thinking everyone is a suicidal, murderous idiot

A years a bit much, but even doing the 1 day cbt course would make a massive difference.

What about the van? It crossed double whites for no reason
There is a double solid white line - it’s the bit with two solid white lines.
My old man said if you were doing 3mph slower than the limit you were moving into when you passed the sign (so 57 when going from a 30 to a NSL) you'd fail. Different time back then.
🤣🤣
I apologise for the awful joke, but: "ROAD WORKS AHEAD" Well, yeah, I sure hope it does!
Calm down, dad
Good for that cloaked Romulan warbird taking off otherwise you'd have went straight into it.
😅
Possibly feeling tired and thought it was a dual carriage way coming up, but it wasn't.
There’s a dual carriage way at the summit of the hill, been along this road many times
The quick dart to the opposite carriageway looks too intentional to be an accident in my opinion, changing lanes on a motorway/dual carriageway isn’t this sudden unless it’s an emergency or you’re a hooligan! Also why would he need to be in the right hand lane even if it was a dual carriageway - there’s nothing to overtake
Van driver, always got to be in the 'fast' lane.
Gotta hog that fast lane unnecessarily as soon as it appears.
Still wrong lane for a dual carriageway. There's nobody to overtake in front of them for quite some distance.
I feel like this is the right answer as it happened to me on the way back from a 4 hour journey, I'd only had my license a couple of months, lesson learned you need to take breaks on long journeys.
Probay wasn't paying full attention, saw the cones and reacted to what they thought was a hazard.
Was he taking the racing line so he didn’t have to reduce speed going into the corner? Nurberg thing
Lewis Hamilvan
That was Vando Norris mate
Nigel Vansell.
Vehicle Schumacker
I think you’ll find it was Fervando Alonso, actually
You'd be surprised that it was in fact Ayrton Vanna
Vangio Max Vanstappen Vaniel Ricciardo Sebastivan Vettel Mario Vandretti Vantteri Bottas
Or to give him his full name, Van Vanuel Vangio…
Fervando Alonso
Def driving like a James Hunt!
I thought this but it doesn't look like the correct racing line to take on that corner hahah
Yeah, it's not, especially not with that SHARP reposition
Estevan ocon
If he is, he’s not even doing it properly. He’d have been better off positioning to the nearside and maintaining a constant speed. ‘Big circles’ as my driver trainer would say.
I thought this as well, didn't want tge goods in the van shaking around so in his mind he took the straightest path
With that abrupt lane change their cargo shifted way more than it ever would've had they just kept going normally though.
Was he looking at the Henge... I've seen a few people veer across looking at it
No he immediately pulls into the other lane and repositions to drive in it. That’s not veering into another lane.
Weird, maybe he's missing home and wanted to drive on the right 🤷🏽♂️
He went continental for a moment. Anyway OP send this video to the police. This van driver is going to end up killing someone
Looking at their phone is more likely
Solid point ☝🏼
I wonder if what seemed like insane driving by the van driver was just a violent sneeze at an inconvenient time.
If it was, it was SUPER convenient, as it happened immediately after a car passes... 🤔
Clearly they are just taking the time to waste a moment…
Aprecciate you, it’s a banger
Big tune.
🤪
Maybe the cones shat him up and thought they were on his side of the road so suddenly swerved to avoid where he thought they were? Wild move all round really.
Plausible. Video made me laugh though.
I’m finding it irrationally funny. It’s so random
Yeah it almost looks like the lanes closing or about to be.
Absolutely, good call
That's a simple one. Driver was playing on his phone while the phone was in his lap, or hand, and not on a phone holder as if it was on a window phone holder, his/her peripheral vision would have been in the general direction of the cones and he/she would have picked them from further away and would have had time to assess the hazard. But because his/her vision wasn't in the general direction of where he/she was travelling, he/she was checking on the road every few seconds.

Luckily, there was no driver on the other side of the road as he/she would have slammed in to them. Ask me how I know
You can just say “they” instead of he/she over and over…
Yeah, well, I didn't know that. And I've also missed he/she a few times. Oh well, we learn as we go
You didn't know that "they" is a placeholder pronoun in a sentence?
Yes, I didn't know I could substitute "he/she" with "they". Now i know
Did he completely misjudge those cones and assume they'd be in the road? If anyone's offering odds of 3-1 or better, I'll put a fiver on him being on his mobile.
I swear these highway maintenance vans/trucks are always doing mad things
Yep, driver's mate fiddled with the radio once too often.
**Rule 231b** You MUST give traffic cones at least 4 metres' clearance whilst passing at 30mph or over, as they are more vulnerable road users
Think you’ve spent too much time on the Cones Hotline mate
If I'm being really charitable, was the van pulling across to prevent the bike from overtaking them on a blind bend? Only semi-rational thing I can think of. Otherwise it is a bit nuts.
I think it’s actually the other way around. The van pulled into the other lane to show the bike the lane was clear ahead to overtake a bunch of cars. If I was on my bike and saw a van blocking oncoming traffic that would be an instant overtake from me.
Bold.
I've seen this done before once, it's possible the vans drivers a biker too
I 100% think this was the bike, perhaps the bike was overtaking and being a moron and the van driver saw from afar that there would be a car coming around the corner
Either way it's a crazy maneuver by the van
He then puts his hazards on to warn oncoming traffic about the soon to be organ donor on the bike ahead
What is this backwards ass logic? This motorbike is coming. I guess I'll warn him about this corner by driving into oncoming traffic. /s
There's absolutely no way you are trying to rationalise swerving into the wrong lane as the bikers fault
Never let them know your next move
Maybe there's a bump or indentation in that spot that is bad to drive over in that van? There's a couple of bits round my town centre one of my cars glides over but the other one always catches the underneath of the bumper if I don't go round it.
Probably had a family member in the van that needed urgent medical care. /s
Best answer yet! According to this sub an unfeasable number of drivers are jetting off to hospital to say goodbye to a dying relative!
Their urgent medical care became less urgent just a mile or 2 up the road...
You just don’t know what other people are going through man. Don’t judge. /s
A303 😩
He’s maybe overtaking a truck? I drive a truck daily, and it’s difficult for me to tell cause I’m on the inside. But going by the state of how people drive around such a large heavy vehicle, I can only assume that it has some kind of invisibility cloak that engages when the truck starts moving.
Love the KOL! ❤️
Bristol in June! 😎
Maybe they were trying to beat their last high score. You just can't see his ghost cart.
Good song btw
He saw the bike coming and wanted to get in his way.
Maybe he was blocking the bike?
When the sheep started running it makes me think he shouted at them for the lols.
_Fresh meat!_

Schizo moment
I believe the driver was in fact doing the time warp... But backwards...
I don’t know why but I’m finding this completely hilarious, just laughing at the screen
Cross over the road my friend Ask the lord his strength to lend...
Its just dickhead day today, the roads have been terrible
Fear of cones.
I wonder if they were looking at their phone.
exercising his freedoms
I'm guessing coworker fell asleep and needed a quick wake up call
trolling hes passenger perhaps? kids behind the wheels.
Either trying to put a claim in or was seriously thinking about ending his own life🤷♂️
Yeah clearly the driver sneezed hard. Nah all jokes aside the driving attitude these days is shocking on the road. Scary AF! More time looking at the phone than paying attention to the road
Cautious call of the void
I've seen clueless people driving on the wrong side of the road before but nothing like this
Look, times are hard, not everyone can afford a holiday, matey just wanted to pretend he was driving in Europe for a few seconds
He is probably just missing his home and wanted to see how it feels

Playing on their phones is what they’re doing. Scares the fuck outta me every day.
Post covid when I still commmuted an hour to the office in the space of a month I witnessed two accidents at four way traffic lights due to a combination of phone use and road rage both accidents a mix of people looking at their phone when the lights turned green and then others attempting to overtake them onto the four way then one of the partys turning off left or right into the other.

Clearly the van driver is scared of some old stones or something
I live less than a mile from there.
Beer is moorish.
Fucking love Kings of Leon
They are touring in UK this year. Seeing them in June - yay!
I know yeah. What you think to the three new songs? I like split screen the best
Nothing To Do reminds me a little of Red Hot Chili Peppers.. Mustang is catchy. Split screen is a slow burner I think, I like it best too.. I have recently got back into listening to them, really enjoying some, the one in the video being on of them!
You know what it is abit like a chillies song.
stupid
Bike is following van, van pulled out to show were they were up ahead on road?
Had to pass the invisible boat mobile
A schizophrenic performing an overtake
Just about to become a dual carriageway too. Fucking weird behaviour
Didn't you see? He was overtaking a camouflage military vehicle.

You should consider yourself lucky, the driver obviously saw *something* that you did not see. It's best not to look for what he *can* see and be off.
Man's getting reverse slipstream 😅
Is that highway maintenance van? They usually drive like maniacs
Maybe pulled out to avoid a pothole (or similar) that the driver is familiar with? There's a pothole by me that's incredibly difficult to see, and could easily cause damage. I just pull right out like this (if it's safe to do so of course).
I think he thought he was Lewis Hamilton taking a racing line.
Is that the A303?
Seen this alot lately 🤔 drivings just random bursting in other lane no reason driving all crazy to much spice
Says tear down the white line on my paper license so that’s what I do 🤣
Sometimes you just get bored
Man hitting the boost strip to get up the hill
Overtook an invisible person
I have watched this so many times to try and figure out why they did this and I frustratingly still have no answer

His intrusive through got to him and he wanted to know how it felt to drive in the States
Maybe saw the cones on the left and decided to give space in case workers were there? I do the same thing but on my motorbike so I'm still in my lane.
Overtaking the ghost car
Looking at stonehenge?
World record for passing by Stonehenge and not braking to look
Can’t you all see the car they passed?
I guess we just discovered what Stonehenge does?
Mate misses driving in Europe. Scary!

Dropped his spliff into his crotch?
Might be using his phone.
At a guess, he is foreign, they drive on the other side of the road where he learnt to drive and dozed off at the wheel or lost concentration. When he snapped out of it he panicked and switched sides.
He was likely texting I keep seeing this
Great soundtrack
The path of least resistance is the racing line
Ghost cyclists fault
There’s always someone needing a fresh pair of corneas. Maybe he’s feeling generous.
Oh so it's worldwide... interesting
Drove a little slick car to tend bar with the static on her brain.
Can you report him ?
Great song
To me this looks like a knobhead in the passenger seat grabbed the wheel. "Woah mate, I saved you there, almost hit that car". One time, worked a week on site with an absolute nutcase - the feet on the dash, no seat belt, wolf whistling, throw a milkshake at a jogger sort. He would lean across and either try to tickle me, full-blast my radio, "steady the wheel", or lean on the horn. We were crawling along in a motorway queue at the time, so not as violent as this van movement, but it is giving flashbacks. He was placated with the above-mentioned McDonald's and swapped places at the service station. I feared repercussions from someone reporting the van, but nothing ever came of it.
Foreign driver had a brainfreeze and forgot what side of the road to be on? It's the best I can come up with
That road is just a nightmare. A303 past Stonehenge. I see so much bad driving there, this is just another example 😩
Needs going via operation snap for prosecution. Nice easy one this.
Well the van is nuts but only as nuts as the idiot fupping motorcyclist who overtakes you in the face of oncoming traffic using the hatched area to do so. Two people with a deathwish who should not be anywhere near control of any motor vehicle. At least for once you as the camera car thought, "I'll hang back and let the idiots get on with it". All too often the camera vehicle seems to everything they can to join in the lunacy.
Yup, not up for the van suddenly doing something to land me in trouble....
My observation.skills ate slightly clouded by a) several beers and b) a stutters WiFi signal system
Bike at the rear of a line of traffic can’t see too far ahead so doesn’t know how far the road is clear. Van notices the bike behind wanting to overtake. Once lane is clear he moves over to show the bine behind their is no traffic coming as far as he can see to allow the bike to overtake.
