Top video from a man after my own heart.

GTFO of it.

That's one person that needs a life.
They sell snakes and ladders in travel packs.
-
Good lad. :cool:
-
world needs people like this :cool:
-
Lad!
Restores my faith in motorists!
Edit - the bloke filming and the pleasant people in the correct lanes, that is!
-
he was spot on with what he was saying. why do people think its ok to do something because they have seen a self centred ignorant f##k wit do it first
-
Win. What a legend.
-
Yeah but to go around claiming to take peoples numberplates to the police.
Simply inform them and if they get touchy then offer to hand it.
Seems a bit arsey to me just saying "here's the plates".

so when your about to die in the middle of the motorway because youve filled your engine with de-icer and its exploded and the ambulance cant get to you we'll all just sit and tut at the drivers blocking the hard shoulder :wink:

So when you're speeding along an empty motorway at night, I'll report your numberplate yeah?
Would a broken down car driver be a complete wayne kerr too?
Swings and roundabouts, fair enough inform them, maybe they could move over if they worked nicely enough together.
I'm suprised he didn't get punched. Before you read that as "Bellend would punch him", no I wouldn't.
-
im surprised he didnt get punched either because people either shy away or get agressive when challenged about being a twit
and the hard shoulder is for emergency vehicles and breakdowns only its not a i cant be arsed to wait lane
-
I did like the fact he happened to not moan at the van and truck drivers on the hard shoulder :tongue:
People do piss me off doing that though, no need at all.
-
equally clever for walking about on a motorway i would say... but got his point across i suppose
-
People are unlikely to punch you when you're holding a video camera and surrounded by witnesses who can all record your car registration and thus identity.
Stupid, selfish people need calling out like this from time to time.
What those in the hard shoulder were doing was genuinely exceptionally dangerous and selfish. As was made quite clear, a couple of arrogant imbeciles had swished past the queue, trying to get off the motorway, because their junction was coming up, which had led to an avalanche of morons doing the same. People don't think about the consequences of their actions and this is a very clear example of such titheads.
I'm sure bellend would have done the same, because it looked like everyone else was doing it, so it's surely OK, which is why he's so offended about it.
It's not OK and it's a very different scenario to speeding on an empty motorway at night, which is a disingenuous comparison.
-
I'm gobsmacked at how selfish people can be :sick:
-
Good link! Will spread this around!
The fact is bellend, one broken down car could be shifted then a clear path would be available! 50+ cars cannot, those people deserve a good rollocking off the plod as they have acted stupidly and selfishly!
Those are the same kind of people who complain about having to wait whilst I deal with an emergency, then when their pet has an emergency situation, the world should stop!!
I think this guy had serious guts! Let's face it, if they did kick off then there would be a definate punishment for them :D
Sure if they had to be cut free from their car thy would want to be reached!!!

Wrong.
I fail to see how simply telling people it's wrong isn't sufficient.
I wouldn't have done it because it's illegal to drive on the hard shoulder. As I was watching the video I was thinking about how illegal it is to walk on a motorway. What if a police bike came down and hit him thus not being able to attend to the accident.
He'd be the selfish one then.

do you need a shovel to make digging your hole easier?
i was starting to give you some credit for being sensible recently... all credit now withdrawn and you're now back on the imbecile list
good day :smiley:

if the truth be told, most people will do whatever they think they can get away with. a prime example of this is the riots! people knew they were not going to get caught because there was no police there to stop them.
in this instance, if everyone does it..... how many people can the police actually catch (or are likely to catch). thus the chances of getting caught for your actions reduces
selfish behaviour has become the way of the world.. and is catching fast, as no one wants to be left behind. everyone is guilty, if not for simply following the crowd, then for allowing others to do such acts and turning a blind eye.
the question is... how many people would swap this selfish state for the state our parents (or len) could probably tell us about when they were younger. people going out of their way to help others, being able leave your doors unlocked all the time... no fear of violent crime etc etc

DH, very good find.
I completely agree with this video. I've seen this happen countless times on various stretches of motorway and in fact I have seen emergency vehicles get held up but such behaviour. The incident required a police car and two ambulances to get past where I was in the queue. The first ambulance tried to get down the hard shoulder but ended up having to cut into the gap between the outside and middle lanes. The police car then followed shortly after down the gap between the outside lane and the central reservation. The second ambulance tried to come down the hard shoulder again and ended up on the grass more than once in order to get through.
There is absolutely no excuse for this behaviour! :angry:
EDIT: just wanted to add some about Gilly's comments - I agree that people think they can get away with it which is why I wonder whether the ANPR cameras should be used in this situation to clock those who have cut into the hard shoulder. Alternatively just get an extra couple of police to come down and book them all.
Install bowling alley like retractable bumpers in the white lines so that anyone who pulls into the hard shoulder is trapped in there :evil:
-
Quality video.
-
Living up to his name the de-icer wielding non-superhero known as Bellend.

:grin:
Singularly unable to take away a valid point from anything. It must be painfully debilitating in real life.
-
Lol at the hate brigade. The same brigade that were going on about how the Traffic Cops had lost their discretion.
My only point was I think he coulda simply explained things to the drivers rather then threaten.
As you were. :grin:
-
Lol at the hate brigade.
I think hate is a rather strong word in this circumstance.
We're feeling pathos for you.

* As another hating Knight gallops forward.
Bellend, you are the stupidest person on the internet.
* The fact police then arrive on the scene
True story.

Great find DH. Does this happen a lot in the UK?
-
Yes it happens alot :angry:
-
this guys got it right and this clip should be shown on the national tv news :smiley:
then it might shock people into thinking about others instead of only themselves :angry:
what a bunch of idiots they were :sick: :sick:
-
:grin: at the video and this thread :laugh:
-
finally watched it, the woman 'um . .what are you doing? '
fair play to the dude though
-
I love it when somebody highlights a persons stupidity face to face. Good work that man!

in case you need to work out what pathos means - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pathos (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pathos)
two cars overturned. people blocking the emergency services route to the scene.
he didn't threaten anyone, far from it.
i think he is completely justified in taking down plate numbers and passing them onto the police for prosecution.

Fair enough. I don't. Simple words imo would have been fine.
Each to their own.
Completely agree they should not be there tho!

Driving on the motorway: Motorway and Traffic Regulations (1982)
Laws MT(E&W)R regs 5, 9 & 16(1)(a), MT(S)R regs 4, 8 & 14(1)(a), and RTA 1988, sects 35 & 186, as amended by TMA 2004 sect 64
....You MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or if directed to do so by the police, HA traffic officers in uniform or by signs.
Laws MT(E&W)R regs 5, 5A & 9, MT(S)R regs 4 & 8
....Hard shoulder. You MUST NOT use the hard shoulder for overtaking. In areas where an Active Traffic Management (ATM) Scheme is in force, the hard shoulder may be used as a running lane. You will know when you can use this because a speed limit sign will be shown above all open lanes, including the hard shoulder. A red cross or blank sign above the hard shoulder means that you MUST NOT drive on the hard shoulder except in an emergency or breakdown. Emergency refuge areas have also been built into these areas for use in cases of emergency or breakdown.
Laws MT(E&W)R regs 5A, 7, 9, 10 & 16,MT(S)R regs 6(1), 8, 9 & 14, PRA 2002 sect 41 & sched 5(8), & RTA 1988 sects 35 & 163 as amended by TMA 2004, sect 6
....You MUST NOT stop on the carriageway, hard shoulder, slip road, central reservation or verge except in an emergency, or when told to do so by the police, HA traffic officers in uniform, an emergency sign or by flashing red light signals. Do not stop on the hard shoulder to either make or receive mobile phone calls.
:rolleyes:
:laugh:
-
It's funny cos if they leave the hard shoulder accessible the accident would probably be cleared quicker leaving them free to get to their ever so important destination :angry:
Selfish twits
-
i see this yest on fb and i have to say the bloke did make me laugh and had a valid point ,but in all honestly i have never seen it before either (sheltered life ) lol
-
I've only just seen this video.
I'm not sure why bellend/josho whatever your name is, has taken it upon themselves to play devils advocate. The guy didn't threaten at all, and simply asked them what they were doing to try and highlight their stupidity, unfortunately you then get the idiotic (i'm going to try and play it cool) type of person like the dozy bint in the zimmer who gives it the "no, it doesn't bother me blah blah" talk because they have just blindly followed others.
The guy has actually done very well to talk to people as a pose to go over shouting and swearing calling them names and has just done it to highlight the idiocy of people who don't think before they act.
If he does submit this to the police and they decide to prosecute then hopefully a story will be released on it and highlight how stupid it can be to block an emergency lane.

Goodness me, I'm sorry, I didn't realise I wasn't entitled to an opinion.
Make a video if you like, fair enough it might open a few peoples eyes. I'll have the bollocks to be honest and say "to be honest, didn't really see it as an "emergancy vehicle lane". I wouldn't go in it as it's illegal and I know that much and laws are there for a reason.
ALL I disliked about it was him walking along and going "here's another numberplate". Until then I thought fair enough, after then I didn't like it as much.
Fair enough as I said, it may enlighten a few people, including myself but I just disliked the whole "there's another numberplate" etc. Also, he still was walking about on a motorway, which is just as illegal.

I like the way the chap remained calm and composed, there wasn't any nervousness in his voice, he came across very confident, as if he should have been doing it.
