Just trying out how effective my new borescope video camera is!
Even though the app for it claims the video res can be 1200x800, turns out that every setting is actually 640x400 (vga)!
As I'm old enough to remember when this was standard for PCs, I'm still reasonably impressed with the quality of the picture, of the device and the price.

Slightly heavy traffic on leaving a supermarket carpark - no problems with that in itself.
However, during that 5 minutes - just how many problems can you spot; including any with the camera car?!
For those who aren't familiar with this junction, painted markings on the road exiting the carpark have a left only arrow on the left lane and a right only arrow on the right lane. Junction itself has a yellow diamond box painted on the lane that camera car is joining - not on the lane going the other way.
Answers in the comments please!

BBC episode only available to view outside of United Kingdom
Tells a story of Britain spanning a period of seismic social change from the 1840s to the present day, through the prism of a single-terraced house in Liverpool. Presenter David Olusoga delves into 180 years of history, searching through city archives, scouring records and tracking down living descendants to tell the untold stories of the people who lived there, and reveal a unique insight into the making of modern Britain.
1840 to 1850
David follows the stories of the first inhabitants of the house in the 1840s and 1850s. In a remarkable piece of historical detective work, he discovers how the house came to be built as a merchant's residence by a canny property developer at a time when Liverpool was one of the great trading ports of the British Empire. He then uncovers the story of the very first tenant - a customs clerk with a taste for fine furniture and the high life. David explores what happened to his lavish lifestyle when the money dried up. The second set of residents, James Orr and his wife Ann, were an apparently ordinary middle-class, newly-wed couple. But they prove to be anything but, as David discovers that they spent their early lives as servants. The couple made their way to the top of Liverpool society through hard work and a series of canny financial decisions that brought them enormous wealth. David then discovers a darker tale when he searches for evidence of the cotton broker, Wilfred Steele. Wilfred's story leads David in extraordinary directions. He discovers a portrait of Wilfred hanging in the Walker Art Gallery. But then the evidence leads him to debtors' prison and eventually to America, where David discovers that Wilfred's attempts to escape his past have had tragic consequences for his family back home.

Again, a bad bus blocking a roundabout!
Here was particularly awkward as the exit being blocked was to the very busy Queensway Tunnel.

Only after this flight, when reviewing the footage, I noticed a large statue set into the external wall closest to the marque. Almost sure that it isn't visible from the ground. Had I have known it was there, I would have flown closer!
Flown on a perfect summer's day with the prior explicit permission of the hotel owners. All aspects of the buildings were deliberately flown at a high elevation looking down so as to not be looking directly through windows.
