Sorry if I sound nasally I'm fighting off a flu!
Flu no matter, keep it up!
@@PrivateerXTR Thanks Jason!
Not acceptable.
So I think with the cab clip the main takeaway is you change lanes "when it's safe to do so" as they say...if you go to court the judge WILL ask why they changed lanes while there was another vehicle partially in the lane without looking. That said...I personally disagree with what the judge would say and feel like the cab driver should have known better and is at fault lol
@@Dominescu The fact is, cab drivers (and others) are always trying to hussle down the curb lane on Granville there, and then jostle for position when something gets in the way ahead of them (like a parked car). It's STUPID driving that makes bugger all difference to when you get there, due to all the traffic lights.
Vancouver needs better driving tests. I'd put money on it that the people testing people there are either as bad of a driver as the people on here OR they come from a country and they just transfer the drivers license over without having to do another test here.
Nope, they need to do the test when transferring from another country. I had to do the same. BUT... there's a lot of corruption within certain ethnicity's. You pay the tester, you'll get passed. It's a big thing in the Asian community up there. The little red envelope, if you know what I mean.
I don't know if it's still true but I know a few ICBCs in Richmond would "sell" you a driver's licence for ~$4,000.
if people like you “heard” there are corruption at ICBC, i am sure very likely the authorities already look into it and arrested someone. Pointing at a ethnic group without any evidence? I don’t know. I have seen crazy drivers of all ethnic groups.
Needs more traffic enforcement, would save everyone's money and lives in the end.
As someone that has recently gone through my class 7 and 5 test they are not that easy. Didn't do a long enough check while backing up fail, forgot to shoulders check on a right fail. Bad speed on a highway, school zone, both hands not on the wheel... It goes on and on these are are stuff that have caught up me or my friends. It's a pain in the ass and you need to wait 3 years to get a full license which is bs. And there's still a back log from COVID
I have cought a couple of really dumb moves on my dashcam lately. What is going on these days?
How do you make a Vancouverite go blind?
Put a windshield in front of them....
Beautiful GT2RS that the van was trying to cut off lol
After moving to North Van and stopping at that multiple 4-way on Keith is just insanity. Everyone is so selfish, and I got honked at for waiting for pedestrians, and then the guy followed me when I was heading to the seabus. Unbelievable.
Ya North Van is next level bad driving
4:12 This triggered something in me. My dad and I got into an accident in that exact stretch of road heading in the other direction because if a pickup doing exactly what that car was doing. Sideswiped our Escape and spun us around a few times before we stopped. The driver and passengers ran. I was 6 or 7 at the time.
Icbc/police needs to build a new system where we could upload all these illegal driving and penalize the dangerous drivers
only problem is who was driving?
It's called private insurance
@@vancouver4sure good luck fighting all the monopolies = old money here in BC. theres a reason why some claim that BC is the most corrupted province...
Congratulations MARK! Stay safe bud, its a scary world on Vancouver roads
Man I like these videos but I really hate that I could be in one one day. Not everyone can be on the ball all the time and not everyone wants to be online.
For instance that person turning or crashing into the pole. The biker was just doing a normal turn and now they're online. It's apart of life now I guess, but I never signed up for cameras everywhere.
I am not going to like I see my share of shitty drivers in the West End! Maybe BC should institute driver road exams every 3-5 years.
1:42 you could say 50/50 but in my opinion the car is at fault because the cab has already entered the lane halfway long before the contact.
5:16 I have done this by accident. One time, that's the entire learning curve. The painted indicator arrows start way late and you have no idea it's not a through lane unless you've come through this way before at least one time in traffic.
sure sure....lol ;)
WE NEED A 1 HOUR 2022-2023 WINTER SPECIAL🔥
hahah ok but no commentary :P
That new west area is horribly marked and shoving multiple lanes of traffic flow into one lane without much notice causes people to unsafely cut in
(source: drove there for the first time yesterday and ended up in the bus lane LOL)
I have a feeling a lot of motorist in the lower mainland get their driver's license in a lottery. I wished cops were more adamant to revoke their licenses.
Just got back from Vancouver, do they get ticketed for speeding by cameras? Everyone (literally everyone) were driving 20-30 above speed limit everywhere. Its like theres no speed limit
There are some but I believe you have to be going 40km/h or more for them to activate
I love how ALL DRIVERS ALWAYS just WAVE at you like a friend... WHEN THEY ALMOST KILLED YOU! I HATE THAT SHIT
At least they don't flip you the bird haha
A buddy in Vancouver decades ago was always getting into minor accidents, not his "fault". One day he gave me a lift into Van. and I think I found out why: he drove right at the limits of his car and personal proficiency, giving himself NO ALLOWANCE for the other driver making an honest mistake. Yes, it was never "his fault" but at the end of the day, he's looking for another ride and gets a small cheque.
2 lane changes requires 2 damn shoulder checks.
Cyclists in Vancouver are so ignorant. Glad icbc is finally holding them accountable.
As a parts guy in a body shop I have always had that nightmare about losing my job because one day people drive really good.
And this channel proves me wrong. so wrong
Accidents are expensive. Crazy driving won't end until the avg citizen can send in these clips and get drivers fined
When i drive in downtown area, i am always confused with those bike lanes which are poorly designed, and the road is like a canva with all kind of lines and colors.
Love your videos and the commentary! I agree with another viewer that your voiceover of the woman in the crosswalk is awesome!
I should get a dash-cam... I would have enough content for a full 10min video
They're a must in Vancouver!
Tons of careless drivers who should not drive on the roads!
0:55 well he is already in a wheelchair maybe he doesn't care if he gets hit
3:23 Stealing a bike and trying to get away fast when high AF.
I always wonder what phone # we can call beside 911 eg. The driver parked its car in the wrong direction! I really want to call someone who can issue ticket to the driver or he or she will never learn a lesso that the road is not his or hers!!!!
Bylaw in some communities will, not sure about at the coast :)
Sean or Shawn was driving too fast which did not give him any room for error
And the snow has just begun! like treating depression with meth
50/50 for the cab and vehicle
The Knight Street Bridge "squeeze in at any cost" happens a lot at the Arthur Laing Bridge as well.
Happens everywhere you have a very wide ramps, like the Granville->Marine->Arthur Laing bridge ramp.
On marine way heading east to the queensborough bridge, you get some folks who skip the long lineup during rush hour and try to squeeze in at the split.
At 6:31 there’s a camera at that intersection anyways, so they’ll be getting a nice letter in the mail soon enough 😊
I crashed on an E scooter.
really badly scraped up. No head injuries. But my bike broke too. Be careful dude.
Just because there arent laws for it right now in B.C. doesnt mean safety isnt your own responsibility.
Be safe people. Live long and prosper
Thanks! I was thinking of hacking it to go faster but you're right if I bail it'll suck a lot
@@vancouversworstdrivers oh lordie. If you are gonna hack it be sure to wear a helmet and have some padding...and dont do anything outrageously stupid :) like having a 2nd person hop on while ur drunk going downhill in the dark. Lol.
1:45 I got same situation yesterday afternoon on Alex Fraser Bridge. There was an accident, so merging sign ahead of my lane. I was merging into the adjacent lane while a SUV cutting in front of me from the other lane while I’ve got into most of the lane. I though maybe she didn’t see me, so I honked. But she was determined and even gave me the finger (which btw I never get why people especially a woman does that)
3:40 - One of the most common reasons for new motorcycle riders crashing: target fixation.
5:13 - That happens ALL THE TIME. It's so frustrating.
7:10 - Pretty sure those were gang/drug task force undercover cops. I've seen that before in Richmond.
I lived in Vancouver for about 2.5 years. In all the places I have lived (15+ countries). Vancouver for sure has the worst drivers. And it's not just the Asians. Everyone drives like idiots up there.
Crazy Van drivers
1:42 I would say 50/50 as the cab driver not only didn't signal, but was exactly in the blind spot of the grey car ahead, and also hadn't even completed his lane change when they bumped together.
Ya I can picture myself in that situation and I would have shoulder checked but then the cab slides in!
1;30 and what speed in a residential zone with bad condiitIons is "Sean" going?? 50 miles an hour? Traffic backed up, vision blocks. Sean COULD have avoided this is he drove for conditions and VISUAL integrity.
you rock dude, love your vids.
Thanks!
So many people in Vancouver wear all black with their hoods up and cross the street with such a sense of entitlement. It is so frustrating in the morning. I'm not an X-Men, if I can't see you , you'll be dead. Thank god, I have amazing sensors on my car which catch these idiots. Don't even get me started on the damn cyclists! If millions of tax dollars are being spent on bike lanes, then they better stay in those damn lanes. No lights, no signals, and so reason. Cycling down Knight street like a moron during rush hour should get you arrested.
9:06 FYI, driving like an idiot, you don't get into accidents, you get into collisions. An accident is something that USUALLY could not have been foreseen. Saying it was an accident because you didn't mean it but yet weren't paying attention or were driving too fast for the conditions isn't an accident.
the 20th hill in new west where drivers use the left lane to cut through is a normal thing. It's my way to work and I just assume drivers are going to do it automatically now it happens so much. @NewWestPolie #NewWestminsterPolice need to do a better job with traffic violations in that area.
Cab drivers are some of the worst drivers out there. Always speeding excessively, changing lanes with signalling, tailgating etc.
2:37 - One of the shitty design choices of putting 2 left turn lanes one after another. One for the mall, and another for the intersection. I see it being guess work for everyone on that road.
5:05 - everyday yo, again. bad design, left lane ends and becomes a left turn only lane. Although if you know the road, it's not hard to avoid doing this by starting at the right lane.
7:31 the idiots that run that STOP sign coming from the left side will always honk back at you when you lean on the horn even though you had no STOP sign.
That one with the two back to back New west videos, it's a horribly designed section of road that's not really long enough to merge in and poor signage
5:12, that road design is quite strange. The flow off the bridge is in high volume in the afternoon and morning. I wonder can they not allowing right or left turn entirely during rush hour?
Thankfully I don't see much of this while cycling around the city.
7:05 are likely police vehicles. It is a tactical vehicle block. First vehicle blocks left side for second vehicle, then second blocks right side for the first.
Thank you thank you thank you. I’ve been waiting for the video for far too loooonnnngggg 🙏
I live pretty much right by that intersection of BigCharlie2's video and almost every other day I see bits of bumpers, headlights, or hubcaps near that merge. Abby has some pretty wild drivers, definitely have seen some new things since moving here from Vancouver
Ya I've actually heard the same thing!
the guy at 2:47 might actually had a brake malfunction as the front wheels are clearly locked....
For 1:50 since the cab is crossing two lanes at the moment of the hit, it is partially responsible for sure.
Vancouver looks like in wild wild west, every driver's is king of the road 😳
7:00 It looks like that Tacoma was escorting that vehicle, unsure if they were going to the hospital or what but that tacoma drivers onto the crosswalk to block the cars coming from the right so the car could pass. It was an escort. Weird.
I thought at first but it almost looks like the car was trying to turn left?
If you see a guy wearing a helmet and a mouth guard when driving that's me
Sometimes I watch your videos and I ask myself if it's fiction! XD The skills of those drivers are ''impressive''
Always fun to watch 🙂
Lol thanks!
Knight street bridge during rush hour is a god damn zoo
03:22 cyclist going too fast pulled on the brakes, lost traction. the bike corrected itself and he went straight forward.
motorcyclists have the same issue going into corners.
2:54 While I didn't get into an accident, I had a break line completely snap while I was driving with a previous vehicle. How and why this happen, we don't know. It wasn't rusted, neither blocked! So, yeah! Things like can happen unexpectedly
4:29 In Ontario, Lines are suggestive, though
i like the commitment, dedication, and enthusiasm for Vancouver's worst drivers despite the damage and headaches....so far. /S
06:04 crossing a solid white
Wow that crash on the highway looks like something from Nascar!
The taxi van was slightly at fault by not signaling, but he was in the lane and ahead already, the car hit the van so insurance wise it is the cars fault.
10:12 And then the ass clown in the white sedan passes him in what's very likely NOT a multi-lane road.
Congrats on featuring your channel in the Province (and you, masked)!
Anyone else notice a pretty common theme throughout so many of these videos......?
Lots of examples here showing why bad drivers never miss their exit.
Feel better soon!
Now that you have an escooter you'll have to join one of the Vancouver ESK8 group rides next season!
Wear a crash helmet. And a scarf ... 😉
@@CDBC helmet - always! Scarf - weather pending. 🙂👍
@@CDBC Wouldn't that be a wee bit risky? I can't help but think of Isadora Duncan.
@@daisydomergue9047 Good one, but hopefully our site host will avoid jumping into any sports cars! 😆
Look like it
What are the best dash cams to use in Vancouver? Any recommendations?
Check out the link in my bio to Blackboxmycar I recommend viofo or thinkware. I personally have a viofo and it works great
Thanks
the 2 incidents at 5:03 are very common, see it everyday
A BREAK malfunction IS THE EXACT REASON why YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY BREAK... for that EXACT REASON!!! just pull or press... BUT YOU HAVE TO BE SMART
I don't even buy it because the front wheels were locked up! Thanks for watching
Smart people spell it "brake".
Target fixation is a thing …
Ya something I learned when I rode mountain bikes
@@vancouversworstdrivers me 3 …
8:03 This one is legally challenging. Assuming that the black SUV stopped properly first, and then moved into the intersection, right-of-way can be argued both ways. But let's face it, trying to cross a multi-lane street like West Georgia without the benefit of a propwe traffic light is kinda nuts! 😄
both directions of traffic need to be clear before you proceed. if there was an accident, the black suv would be largely at fault.
Hmm interiors point
That would have been one expensive bill if the van hit the GT2 RS at 8:24 lol
and determining the fault would've also been very interesting
That 700K GT2RS😅
🙋
1:07 That voiceover of the woman in the crosswalk is awesome! 🤣
Hahaha
your videos would be much more enjoyable to watch without your opinions
No, not my baby! I was thinking the same thing
"Every driving instructor says, don't stare at something you don't wanna hit"... I don't recall that being said during my early days of learning how to drive. Did you just make that up?
