Huge respect to the guys removing cones risking their life's for people with no manners

I understand the reasoning of the lorry driver with the scale model of the junction. I just think the tunnels would be a bad idea because it's much more difficult to deal with the inevitable emergencies that will arise in the tunnels as opposed to in open air. Not to mention the added expense.

Thumbnail question: Who pays for road repair (following a crash)? 17:18 states the damaged road surface will be paid for by the insurers of the vehicles involved.

Always amazes me that - despite the number of years it's been illegal - there are STILL arseholes who REFUSE to wear a seatbelt, or continue to use their phones !

I really feel for that lady and her kids at the end. I hope your wish comes true and everyone stops and thinks and makes it home.

How thick are people the Constable literally had to pull his badge out put it against the window and tell him to put his seatbelt on.

53:45, I was not expecting to hear that 😢😢😢

Haha, I love that you have police in a unmarked lorry driving around checking for people who are not wearing their seatbelts or are on the phone. Especially the latter because any driver knows that you see people do that too much while driving which is dangerous.
and they do that so much because they can get away with it most of the time.

Wow! They resurface the road when fluid is spilled on the roadway?!?! Here in the US they lay the floor dry on the road, let it soak up as much as it can, sweep it up and open the roadway

The Lorry driver's model is fantastic and the fact that his model is actually really good comparative to a team of highly educated people who plan large scale construction shows you can't just look at someone and assume their ability or knowledge.

The only real difference, is the safety and cost aspect of the tunnels, and longevity of "repairing" anything that may need repairing, or incidents from crashes.

Fairplay to him.

The un marked lorry sticks out like a sore thumb. And it wasn’t two chevron back from the car in front

Good for the truck drivers. I'm glad they're fighting against bureaucratic nonsense

someone left it unlatched or latch broke ...he had no clue his ride height changed.."theres always someone at fault"...but ai driving na we cant hold the company accountable for those wrecks or deaths that would brake the agenda of putting a itinerary device in every home with anof energy to level it
