We had this one before, but surely not everyone has seen it.

If you do this on youtube we will watch.

...and it will be more rewarding that watching that Ashley fella.

Who he?

He's a driving instructor who does videos on youtube.

I'm not sure why people have an issue with him, he seems fairly mellow and balanced to me.

[Spleen]

If he's anything like that cycling maniac I'll steer clear.

He's actually done a few videos being critical of cyclists who put themselves at unnecessary risk by poor positioning.

I think it's because although he's usually right (if sometimes a little 'Captain Obvious'), his presentation style is annoyingly slow and he sounds dull. It's just how he is, and it just rubs me the wrong way a little bit that's all. I suppose when you're used to dealing with the average idiot-level of general public you have to speak slowly, carefully and in words they can understand in the short gaps between Instagramming and TikToking.

These days that's the same for most walks of life. I was lucky I went to a good school then had a career work with people with a bit of common sense and intelligence about them. Ending that career and coming back to the real world was an eye opener to just how dumb, stupid and plain retarded the average British person is. With my American sister, we used to joke about dumb Yanks - now i think the average Brit is just as bad.

He started out being just plain boring (spinning out 30 second video clips to 5+ minutes by being a windbag), then more recently he seems to be on a quest to disappear up his own arse AND boring at the same time.

Nothing particularly wrong with what he's saying, he clearly knows his trade, just seems like a bit of a flute.

Ashley Neal did a video on this, consulting various bodies including the cops, who wrote...


If anyone’s interested in watching?!

Lol. He is a it dry but as Initial Dave has mentioned he has a well balanced view on things. There’s not much at all I disagree with him on but it’s always useful to hear the opinions and views of professional instructors.

Whenever it's a merge point, I have priority whatever lane I'm in. Want to cut in front? Not on my watch! But if I'm late to my tanning bed appointment, I'll cut in front of you. Eat my dust!

Just needs a 'What's occurring' at 10.10.

Aquaplaning clip (I suppose) @ 0:30: Although an idiot for not having both hands on the wheel (especially in those conditions), Bravo for holding it! I would not have believed he can pull it off, but nicely done! (Of course it would have been better to not loose control in the first place!)

Did you not see the car approaching from the left which presumably hit the rear and sent it into a spin?

What get me about these videos is the amount of vehicles that continue to roll at low speed after having a relatively minor collision, which often results in a further collision!

Looking at his inputs I'd say that's entirely saved by Audi/Bosch's good ESP programming.

10:10 is great

Quite a few good ones here:

50 secs - how did he not see the stopped car?

A few UK ones in there as well. A disco on its side... and some old ones - we've seen the petrol station exit crash before

50 secs. How? I expect he did not look out the windscreen. Lane assist is great, it nudges the car into the lane for you so you can get on with more important things like checking football results.

He wasn’t speeding!
