If you think that video needs a warning you need to give yourself a shake and remind yourself of the potential consequences of your driving. This modern day desire for absolute insulation from anything mildly uncomfortable or unexpected is shameful.
Well said.

FFS, here we have all that is wrong with the world in 2018, truly pathetic.....
So you two are unable to read the statement that goes with the video, in which any simpleton would deduce that a child will be involved with a car, there are several pointers in the text.....but no, you two either didn’t bother to read it before you impatiently clicked the video, or did read it and are terminally stupid.
So you’re clearly happy and very eager to click play and see cars crash with people in them who could have been hurt, but it’s a child instead so you’re suddenly upset?
f
king pathetic.......”I didn’t want to see that”.......”I wasn’t expecting a child to get hit”....grow up a bit you couple of snowflakes, if not then stay away from topics that might just upset your delicate dispositions....

When I watch videos linked from a forum I don't read the description on the Youtube section. I'm usually watching the video..Watching hapless adults crash their cars is generally amusing, watching a someone's child nearly get killed is not. I dont' have kids. I don't want to watch anyone , adults or kids, being kit by a car and knocked across the road.
I hit a young kid (6-7 years old) when I was driving to work at 18. It's the most sickening feeling I've ever experienced to this date. He ran out from between two parked cars. I was going uphill and about 20 mph, which really helped with the stopping distance, but I knocked him over (not flying, like in the clip, thankfully). He got up and ran away.
There was nobody else about, and no sign of the parents, so I carried on driving to work and called the local police station to report it. To be honest, the police were brilliant. They were remarkably relaxed about it once I told them he'd run off, but they said I'd done the right thing reporting it, and to pop in to the station later in the day, and they'd take some details to put on file just in case anything were to come of it. I went down there in my lunch hour, and was told nothing had been reported to them, and basically not to worry too much about it, and it had probably taught the kid a valuable lesson. A copper came out and had quick walk around the car. There was no damage on it, and they took a few details and said they'd call me if they needed anything else. I never heard any more.
Whether it's your fault or not, it's the most awful, sickening feeling. It was 25 years ago, and I still remember it clearly.

So you are easily upset, but at the same time will happily watch videos from random links without bothering to read the description and instead expect other people to shield you from the nastiness? I thought Norfolks reply was a pretty harsh at first, now I agree with him.k off you arogant tt. When I watch videos linked from a forum I don't read the description on the Youtube section.

If people are deeply traumatised by watching that clip I wonder how they would react to something similar happening when they are driving. Probably best that they surrender their licenses.
This sort of thing should be compulsory viewing in the theory test, especially for those taking the extended retest after a ban.

Perhaps Audi drivers naturally swerve around when they haven't seen anything, but it looked more like he reacted to seeing something.
Perhaps he could have reacted to other clues, like the zigzag lines.https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/answers/what-do-th...

I was under the impression that was if it was a single lane such as the photo on that website and not two lanes?https://www.highwaycodeuk.co.uk/answers/what-do-th...
"You must not overtake the leading vehicle"
http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1997/2400/regul...
The law is quite clear. In this case the camera car was neither approaching the crossing nor stopped for the specified purposes. Also the Audi was not within a controlled area when it passed the foremost part of the camera car.

Are we talking about different clips? The camera car stopped because a child was on the crossing, as the child bounced off the bonnet the zigzags clearly continue beyond the crossing. The controlled area clearly encompasses the entire crossing and the road beyond. An overtaking car appears to the right, clearly unaware of anyone using the crossing, unsighted by the camera car. This, surely, is the whole point of the regulations covering the overtaking of the leading car on zigzag lines?The law is quite clear. In this case the camera car was neither approaching the crossing nor stopped for the specified purposes. Also the Audi was not within a controlled area when it passed the foremost part of the camera car.
Would a competent driver really overtake that quickly on a pedestrian crossing of any variety, without being absolutely certain the crossing was clear?
