Accident Preventions System Wins "Worst Invention EVER" | Dragons' Den

“There’s a sign that way” Brutal!! 😂😂👉🏻👉🏻

Duncan didn't want to be impolite, but then goes the extra mile with his ignominious award!! LOL 😂

To be fair, the man is right. The signs are placed incorrectly, they are hardly visible.

I need £1,000 to build the signs and £49,000 to bribe the lady who runs signs and signals

How is it a bad idea ? Ok even if its not good for the roads, you can still use it for car parks, warehouses to guide fork lifts, fire emergency in crowded areas like shopping malls etc.

5 years later he is still looking for the exit sign

Good luck getting Highway's Agency to adopt this pile of crap

Imagine being this guy's kids...

the wrong way signs are not facing the opposite way lmao they face oncoming traffic on wrong sides of roads and highway exits lol

"Will you listen to me Duncan for five minutes?"
"I'll listen to you Derek."

How nice. 🙂

Ok, this episode came out 10 years ago, maybe 2014…

The world already had road signs with FLASHING LIGHTS.

Unbelievable.

Seriously lmao 🤣

how has nobody noticed that the traffic that is coming towards you is white, not red

Surely that £24k would have beeb better spent on flashing “I’M OUT” signs for the dragons 🤣

Real life Toby

Deborah looks pretty in this episode ❤

Greetings! We are aliens from the solar system of Alpha Centuri.

We have only now contacted you after humanity finally created technology that was befitting of an intelligent race.

Behold - the Flow Signal! Please take us to your leader Derek…

"Theres a sign there" LOL

Let’s all be honest, this guy isn’t smart enough to realize how terrible this invention is

So… he invented lights?

Duncan has amazing comedic timing

So he wants to put signs on some signs?

But if you did that then you wouldn't need the signs?

I could kind of see where he was coming from 😂

Yikes. This guy makes me need my deep breathing and tapping exercises. Maybe if I breathe through the diaphragm he'll go away.

Legend has it Rory is still searching for seaweed on the lonely beaches of Scotland

They'll stealhis idea then rework & revamp it in less than 15 years...

Jeremy Clarkson with his micro car was less of a windup than this guy. This must've been a dare.....

The lady who runs the signs and signals doesn’t like the idea”. This might be one of the best bits of unintentional comedy I’ve ever seen.

Some of his points about the traffic signs are valid to be fair. However, his solution requires batteries or a power connection, some of the existing signs are illuminated but not all. His solution is just too expensive, and would require a large public educational program to explain the new signals.

You need a background in human factors and road safety legislation etc. to have a chance of pulling this off.

Do not make signs more complicated.

This episode felt a bit like bullying on the part of the dragons. You can see the guy is really passionate about it. I know it’s not the best idea ever but there was no need to mock him and all snickering behind his back when he was trying to talk. Not nice at all.

Brah 😂😂😂😂😂

I think he could run the country better than Starmer

If that’s such a big problem put a sign in the back….ohhh they have already done that? Well shieeet then my invention is useless then innit?

Wow just wow....😅😅😅

Genuinely, I saw someone turn the wrong way into a one way street today, and I thought, “if only there were a flow signal installed, he wouldn’t have done that”

You’re a genius Derek.

School Zones, Cross walks, Bus stops, airports - all good applications.

180 degree sign? You know how many signs get blown over or bent sideways? it happens so often. If there was a sign that was visible regardless if its completely turned around then that would be amazing

this does not change the fact that in Australia there are 48 million kangaroos and in Uruguay there are 3,457,380 inhabitants. So if the kangaroos decide to invade Uruguay,each Uruguayan will have to fight 14 kangaroos

These are the good years.
I cant watch the new show , its crap now.

Thats a lot of quid for some flashing LEDs. And he thought it was worth patenting and have it around the world- im open to the idea of making a new standard, but youre adding extra steps for a street sign. Signage thats cheap and costs 1000 times less than a single street light, and he wants to put lights under a sign...Yea, no.

lol that was rough. hes a wannabe businessman. this is strange

I'm confused, maybe it is different in England, because in America, the one way signs work the same, but there also are "Do Not Enter" signs facing the opposite direction. Do you not have those over there?

this is a classic

Meanwhile in the US we actually do have "Wrong Way" signs on freeway ramps

Derek is still stood on the high street roaring at traffic

Deborah - Have you had this approved?

Derek - No
🤣🤣

Where I’m from in Atlanta we have at least a couple people killed every year from entering the interstate the wrong way. It’s not a terrible idea to have lights on these signs to stop the next drunk driver from not noticing the wrong way signs that are easy to miss at night.

You cant "invent" sticking lights on a pole. Best you can do is call the road people and suggest it.
