Watching the amount of hard shoulder work makes any sane person realise why "smart" motorways are a very bad idea!
-
I have been a professional driver for around 20 years and driving over 40 and I have to say the level of concentration is extraordinary. Hats off to the driver. Brilliant driving...
-
0:40 Should be made to resit his test, over a minute driving without any movement for a blue light.
-
This is another reason why we need hard shoulders and not smart motorways.
-
It never fails to amaze how stupid the average driver is. Literally not moving out of the way for 999 vehicles. These people should be contacted after the event and sent on a self funded driver awareness course!
-
Very good demonstration of how vital it is to keep calm and just execute one task at a time but plan for the next 5. This is why we need to keep the hard shoulder!
-
This is another reason why hard shoulders should remain on our motorways
-
Yet more evidence of the urgent need to halt any further expansion of Smart Motorways, and restore the hard shoulders.
-
This is next level driving. I'm exhausted just watching it! Once you arrive, there's no time to stop for a brew either. My hat is most definitely off!!

That IDIOT van driver 00:30 - 01:42 would loose his licence immediately in ANY cultured European country. There is another brain dead at 04:07 and an MTS "professional" driver at 05:05. It's just outrageous, that UK drivers can do whatever they want. What a shame! 100% agree with @Damian C and a big respect to @Mitch Nunn.

that van driver should receive a fine for not moving
-
The skill of this driver avoiding so many chances for a collision is quite incredible. Other driver's reactions are so variable and the emergency driver has to keep their cool in the face of things that would cause most normal drivers to "lose their rag" I'm well impressed by this. It's hard enough to filter down queues on a touring motorcycle as I've done that but with a large vehicle it's a nightmare.

0:31 The guy in the SECURO van that refused to move over should be prosecuted. How can you have an emergency vehicle behind you for a full minute and not notice that they're there? That's just ridiculous. God only knows how long he'd have been stuck behind the moron had he not undertaken; If this is not an offence then it should be. Too many people these days are driving around in a damn daze.

This video is driving me nuts.... So many people need to be off the road and counted with disabilities to be walked with someone else's help... Complete lack of self awareness... What about the rest? I'm just thinking how they manage to put food in their mouth... What a place to be, really?!?!? 🤧
-
Some drivers are on another planet. It's scary!
-
I can't get through this, drivers' stupidity knows no bounds, this is too frustrating to watch.
-
This video is a great advert for hard shoulders.
-
As a person that uses motorways every day, smart motorways do not work, this Is a perfect example of why we need hard shoulders
-
UK needs to invest in "Rumbler" sirens, they work because you can feel them.

I am impressed the majority of drivers seemed to have good situational awareness considering they didn't know your route or goals, I recently was blocking the path of an ambulance because the car in front of me moved of the carriageway and stopped stopping me from moving of the carriageway to allow the ambulance to it's destination it was only repeated sound of my airhorn that resolved the situation
