1:53 looked like it was both of their fault. Brother was making a left turn on a right-only turn, and person that hit him was driving through what is considered a divider.
Overall, yes. But a case examination would look at it through the lens of traffic laws, as the events unfolded. The brother was the first law breaker, as he was attempting to make a left turn at a right-turn-only intersection; the car that is speeding down the divider, while also in violation of traffic laws, is immaterial in this case. If the brother had obeyed traffic laws, the accident wouldn't have happened, because he wouldn't have crossed over into the divider. (Which is actually the very reason these intersections only allow right turns; left turns require crossing multiple lanes of oncoming traffic, and you've also got to deal with multiple lanes of traffic on the other side). As far as "who is at fault in this accident?," it's 100% the brother's fault --- he was trying to make an illegal left turn. The SUV barreling down the divider is a separate case altogether.
@@sixstanger00 We have no idea if the brother was the "first" law breaker and "if the brother had obeyed traffic laws, the accident wouldn't have happened" could equally be said of the other driver.
It’s not on both of them , it’s on the brother.

I wish we could see the crash 3:24 from the truck divers perspective. That was horrific. There’s no way that truck could’ve stopped in time. I hope they all turned out ok.
The way the suv jerked, I suspect there was a tie rod or ball joint failure. Of course a medical episode could result in a sudden jerk of the steering wheel. That guardrail was no match for two cars and a big truck. The suv was literally thrown over the guardrail and went for quite a tumble.

When the adrenal is pumping........ I've done similar. Just want the idiot to know that he/she is an idiot. It's not a train horn, although truck horns are also powered by compressed air. But not near as loud.
Also, 2. Watching the video, you can see the truck edging out. 3. Never just slam brakes, even ABS will lock up at a certain point and cause you to slide. Understandable the person probably jusy freaked out lol. But a couple of things could have been done to help imo. I'd still fault the truck for just pulling out and not paying attention to/ thinking a car may be moving at a decent rate of speed, in a lane where they are supposed to be moving at a decent rate of speed in. Just my opinion.
i looked like the red car too the guard rail first. It didnt kick up either til the ditch so it wasnt one of those guard rails thats begins from a slope. Plus i didnt see any buckling so that guard rail went through someones car hardcore.
Looks like the red SUV over reacts to the black SUV's brake lights in front of it. Possibly not paying attention, looked up and saw brake lights, and swerved.
Lol... I was about to post the same thing. And you can tell he over reacts like that all the time. So much so that he even went out and bought an extra loud horn for his truck.

ayy i seen you on zero's vids. im over here in western us too, might make some good sht with the fact i have a gopro, bike, and a few dashcams (since i drive)
3:22 I've seen this one many times and still don't know what caused that car to suddenly turn right like that and cause such a bad accident! Maybe the tie rod broke or the ball joints. That would make this happen but I would hate to believe it was done on purpose.

@@Jason-tz7ir Like 'Popo' or 'Coppers' is also a made up term for the Police. You must be confused a lot in real life with the amounts of fluid grammar.
Nope, it’s just some horn blaster junk. That ain’t a real train horn. A real train horn is something like a Leslie, Nathan, or WABCO brand horn. Those are what you’d see on real locomotives.
1:17 - "Jump Around" by House of Pain. This is one of the handful of times that I've recognized the music the cammer was listening to during the clip. Another time was "Ballad of a Southern Man" by Whisky Meyers.
1:50 Cammer is at fault. They turned across traffic without being sure the way was clear. NEVER turn left in these situations. Turn right and go around a block. Few extra minutes and save yourself MANY hours of trouble and $ in insurance
So many accidents could be avoided if more people did that. Instead of trying to take some crazy left turn just go with the traffic and turn around. Same for the people that miss their exit and then decide to swerve across the highway onto the exit ramp. Just take the L, go to the next exit and turn around. Or use GPS to find a different route. The roads are usually connected. Its just baffling sometimes.
@Aluzky When turning left like this you have to be extremely cautious,but I agree with you seems like the other vehicle was in the on coming traffic lane trying to get to the turning lane.
5:41 this is one of the first things I taught my kids when i was teaching them to drive. Always look to see if the car in first of you left BEFORE taking off to make a right turn in these kinds of turning lanes. Sadly my son had his first accident like this! The first thing I told him was, "Don't you remember me telling to look first?"
The first one, the loose tire smashing you. I watched this happen years ago, a trailer ahead of me lost a wheel. It bounced over the wall doing 80 and landed square in the windshield killing the driver. I watched after it broke loose and eventually right into that poor lady. Average white lady around 48 was driving, the terror on her face as the tire dropped was the same as any of us in that oh shit moment.
My dad was driving on a bridge over the white river in Arkansas when a semi tire came flying at him. It crossed 5 empty lanes to hit him in my mom's PT Cruiser. That thing buckled like a soda can, you could barely tell it used to be a car. He completely split the skin on his chin, shattered part of his knee and fractured his foot in 4 places. But he said the worst part was when the ER nurses cut his jacket off. He got it when he was 19 in the airforce and it still fit him at 48 years old. He kept trying to get it off in the ambulance so they wouldn't cut it but they refused to let him move. He was furious after that and just wanted to go home to smoke some weed and calm down lol
I love that a lot of these there's plenty of time to stop or avoid. Like, yes the other person is at fault, but a lot of these you can see exactly what's gonna happen but the driver will continue as if they see nothing and then surprise pikachu face when an accident happens
Wrong way on a one-way street is a classic. Wrong way on a divided highway is a classic. A railroad track (late at night) is suitable for automobiles is another.
Yeah when you see something that intense ( 3:24 ), I know I have to pull over like 'OMG' myself. I once seen a semi trailer's wheels go rogue on black ice on the interstate... sidewinded sideways into the median and about flipped the truck itself, headed into oncoming traffic all the while. Was intense. I pulled over to make a call - and would you believe a mini prisoner bus was right there to respond lol
in real life I have seen so many near accidents when some "do-gooder" stops where there is no stop to let some driver or pedestrian cross multiple lanes and then get nearly clobbered. Why don't people realize that unless you can magically stop all the other lanes where there is no stop, your "feel good" approach is putting people at risk!!!??? And you cannot magically do that, so don't try!!!!
1:45 50/50 Both drivers are in the wrong. One for turning left when only a right turn is allowed and the other for being on the other side of the median.
@@kylededrick199 I don't think the cops would call that "oncoming traffic" as he wasn't legally in a lane. No reason for the white car to be looking that way.
5:48 That almost happened to me a couple days ago. I was starting to make my right turn then realized that an oncoming car was moving a bit faster than I thought so I stopped. The guy behind me caught it and stopped inches behind my car. He then tailgated me for a couple of miles. Hope I hadn't made him spill his coffee.
@7:18 the impatient one is the one recording going way out into the far left lane before up to speed. Similiar situation on the next video but the one in the far left lane was the one recording that time. The white car that hit the red car never should have taken full blame.
200 lbs. of tire and rim hitting you at 70 mph.??? Light tank ammo, (maybe Italian). You have to torque down long haul lugs and/or nuts at EXACTLY the torque suggested, or they either snap, break, or go loose on you. This is probably on the mechanic doing the tire rotation.
6:25 anybody else notice how the cammer moved to the left as the idiot was passing on the shoulder like he was trying to stop him from passing like that? Seems like some of the blame is on the cammer.
6:30 Cammer is a danger on the roads. Illegal lane change, probably cutting off the other car, then races down the road and has to slam on his brakes to stop. Dude, think and chill.
1:31 I "love" how instead of breaking, he accelerate, escalating the situation. Sure the red car made an illegal move, but I'll never understand why americans thinks is better to crash instead of brake.
Because if you brake on a highway there is a fat chance that someone will rear-end you causing a major traffic jam, especially if you're on the left-most side. You can literally see that occur in other clips in this video
@@mixichip you don’t have to slam on your brakes, you can just not accelerate and slowly brake as required. You don’t just keep accelerating and almost cause an accident because you’re in the right
@@mixichip Even a slight deceleration would’ve been fine in preventing an accident. If he kept on at that speed and ended up crashing into the red car this would’ve been much more dangerous.
@TransCube I think you should go back and look at the laws yourself. It depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions, hit and run is simply failing to stop at the scene of an accident. "Just calling the cops" is not "all good" in most areas. Most areas, you'll get yourself at least a misdemeanour charge for leaving the scene.
@TransCube Yes you can move forward a reasonable amount but you literally fleeing the driver trying to exchange insurance with you is how you end up with a warrant especially if you pull out a firearm and wave it around like a golden goose. You cannot get into an accident and go out of your way to avoid the other individual involved that is the definition of hitting and running lmfao
9:38 Not only did the white SUV cut the other car off but BREAK CHECKED HIM! I bet he wouldn't have stopped if the cop hadn't been on the side of the road and saw the whole thing. 'It was at this moment he knew he F'd up!'
It didn't "brake-check" him. Its brake lights were on as it _started_ to change lanes (because the driver mismanaged the move and got too close to the car in front). Its brake lights _go out_ when it fully enters the left lane. If it were brake-checking that is when the lights would come _on_ . Instead they go off because it is clear of the car it passing and about to speed away. They come on again after the incident happens behind. And what "cop" do you mean? There's no person or vehicle on either side of the road. And the vehicle entering the road from the shoulder is not a police vehicle. No markings, not a highway police vehicle, and badly driven (contributing to the collision by entering at the wrong time and cutting off the vehicle that was hit).
@@paulkennedy8701 I've seen this clip before on another channel and the cammer says there was a cop there. Just because you don't see him doesn't mean he wasn't there. The cammer WAS there and he saw him. Either way the idiot that changed lane caused the accident like a MORON he is. Didn't check his mirrors or shoulder check before changing lane. I don't think the cammer would lie about the cop being there.
@@paulkennedy8701 I went back and looked and the car riding on the shoulder ahead must be an unmark cop car because that's the only other car on the side of the road as the cammer claimed where he was. I guess after the accident he saw a cop come out of that car.
@@TimHammett1964 But the video didn't mention a cop. The driver didn't stop because he saw a cop. He stopped as soon as he saw the collision behind him.
@@paulkennedy8701 Did you miss my first comment above? It clearly states I saw this clip on another video and the cammer did state there was a cop on the side of the road. Just because it was put on this clip doesn't mean I'm lying.
5:25 what's great about them destroying it...is they decided to do that at 4:00 on a Friday.....f'd up traffic pretty good. Glad to see the pic of that very identifiable truck and I will be keeping an eye out.
@7:55 the dash cam does show a lane change, but the fool behind the wheel of the camera car was driving WAY too fast for the conditions. If you're speeding around slow or stalled traffic you don't get to place the entire blame on others.
7:40 Driver going to fast for traffic conditions. Even though the truck did not signal, I see a lack of taking responsibility for their own selfish stupidity.
1:01 I came SO close to having this happen to me. Some idiot thought he was nice by ignoring right-of-way laws, refusing to move to let me through, and my car came inches away from getting hit. I should not have gone, but he should not have LITERALLY obstructed my view.
3:24 i think that’s the first time i can say i’ve seen somebody (almost) underreact instead of overreact on this channel. i…wow, that one really got to me.
1:50 the yellow lines are the same as a barrier. The car shouldn't have been there. I wouldnt necessarily say your brother is at fault for going through the traffic jsut a very risky move.
1:20 I really don't understand people who think just putting on their signal gives them permission to lane change whether there is traffic in the lane or not. Their signal is on and they expect everyone to slow down and make room for them. I swear they don't even check for traffic. When you crash into them they always say "Well I had my signal on..."
First Video: Tire rotation ... I had new tires put on .. hours later, I was reading the fine print on the receipt/work order, it said vehicle owner responsible for lug-nut tightness ... WTF ... I went out and checked, sure enough they needed wrenching ... betcha most people don't read that
@ 7:52 "driver fails to signal, causing accident" See, the issue with that is, everyone is depending on a $2 lightbulb to work 100% , 100% of the time, bulbs burn out, bad connections from corrosion too, the driver may have put the turn signal ON, but the bulb didn't light up. Can't always assume someone "didnt signal"
09:25 Now we know what can go wrong when travelling far too close to the vehicle in front. Would have been different if the driver was just a second or two further back and had slowed down less rapidly.
Really hope you're talking about the one that rearended the cammer, not the cammer who actually did have room to slow down in time to avoid a collision. Because trying to pass blame from someone who actually rearended someone onto one who did not is really fucking stupid.
I always have to be so aware when in the fast lane and the slow lanes are at a stand still. Someone is always going to pull out in front of you with no warning
Gotta keep that speed differential with stopped traffic at 10-15mph so you have time to brake. Every one of these incidents either one or both of the drivers were speeding.
It's scary the way the cammer at 6:25 was willing to endanger everyone on the road including themselves over damage that was less severe than the damage I've gotten from a too-narrow parking garage door. Ridiculous.
the person in the white car is most definitely dead if not severely injured with lifelong trauma. the semi crushed it against the guardrail. as for the red car, i didn't really see where it went, but those people might be okay
Yes and No. Morally, both are at fault... because if you change the point of view: For both partys, the other party suddenly appeared, where nothing should appear, if everyone followed the rules of traffic. The other party was not driving in his lane, nor where he was allowed to. But since the camera was moving out from a yard, into a different street, he has always more fault than the other party. If you turn into a different street, the traffic can drive totally reckless on the wrong side of the road - if an accident happens, you are responsible at first and at most.
But technically, I would go to court with this. Camera vehicle was driving slowly and carefully, while the other one was speeding like shit. A clever and correct judge should acknowledge this and make the other party more at fault.
@@Snakehad95 - I recall seeing this same video on another channel, and in that the on-screen commentary (the non-driving brother) stated that the driver (other brother) was turning left out of the exit, which was marked no left turn. So, that puts a whole new spin on it.
No left turn ...the other driver could have been in a medical emergency etc! Another thing ,if your gonna break the rules of the road,you better make damn sure you don't need up. Double check triple check or you get checked.
6:10 But could she see it with the sun directly in front of her? And the cammer couldn't see that she wasn't stopping? In a situation like that with traffic lights out and intersection uncontrolled, it's especially important to keep an eye on what everyone lese is doing.

02:44 Ok guy we get you’re pissed off. Sounding your horn for so long after a non collision…. Maybe not the greatest reaction
a modified train horn as well, uber douche move
The train horn really sums up the type of person he is.
Yeah, You could the car coming. Kind of guy who thinks everyone drives like an ass but him
Yeah. He's also appears to be driving significantly faster than the prevailing traffic.
When the adrenal is pumping........ I've done similar. Just want the idiot to know that he/she is an idiot. It's not a train horn, although truck horns are also powered by compressed air. But not near as loud.
7:33 This is why you don't drive fast when passing stopped lanes. Expect the other drivers to do stupid stuff and you will crash less!
Also, 2. Watching the video, you can see the truck edging out.
3. Never just slam brakes, even ABS will lock up at a certain point and cause you to slide. Understandable the person probably jusy freaked out lol. But a couple of things could have been done to help imo. I'd still fault the truck for just pulling out and not paying attention to/ thinking a car may be moving at a decent rate of speed, in a lane where they are supposed to be moving at a decent rate of speed in. Just my opinion.
@@joegomez5463 The truck pulling out is 100% at fault, but the situation could have been better avoided with slower speeds.
3:26 There had to be some bad injuries when that whole mess went into the beginning of a guardrail. Ugh.
definitely worse than injuries for the white car... no way that survived a semi at that speed...
i looked like the red car too the guard rail first. It didnt kick up either til the ditch so it wasnt one of those guard rails thats begins from a slope. Plus i didnt see any buckling so that guard rail went through someones car hardcore.
Looks like the red SUV over reacts to the black SUV's brake lights in front of it. Possibly not paying attention, looked up and saw brake lights, and swerved.
According 2 someone else in the comments who read a news article, only the truck driver survived. So sad.
2:50 is ridiculous how much he uses his horn
2:56 This man needs to chill the hell out.
Lol... I was about to post the same thing. And you can tell he over reacts like that all the time. So much so that he even went out and bought an extra loud horn for his truck.
@@101perspective Yeah, and he left his hand on the horn for WAY too long. People like that should not even be on the road.
Came to say this same thing, the guy has issues and shouldn’t be on the road, a real rager I bet the reason he got a cam was because all the bad drivers, yet probably causes most of the incidents
@@clayp5129 Yeah, he probably thinks that the footage will clear him of any wrong doing if his raging contributes to an accident or something. Oh, I was just yelling and honking my train horn at them for what THEY did wrong... so it is their fault they or someone else were shocked and veered off the road, etc. Or that I stopped in the fast lane so I could yell at the other drivers, etc.
Dude seems like he'd be a real hoot at parties, huh?
8:02 I love this reaction 😁 "uhh hi!!" 😂
ayy i seen you on zero's vids. im over here in western us too, might make some good sht with the fact i have a gopro, bike, and a few dashcams (since i drive)
@@mightron Hello! Glad to see someone recognize me from elsewhere 😁
Yeah it's fun recording and posting videos! It's just time-consuming
I'm truly taken aback by this video. The exceptional quality of the content is praiseworthy. Keep up the remarkable work!
3:22 I've seen this one many times and still don't know what caused that car to suddenly turn right like that and cause such a bad accident! Maybe the tie rod broke or the ball joints. That would make this happen but I would hate to believe it was done on purpose.
Looks like an over reaction to the black SUV in front braking. Possibly the red SUV driver was not paying attention, looked up and saw brake lights, and swerved.
When my balljoint failed it swerved like that, when it fails, the tire steers to one side and your car drags just like if you did steered.
could even be road rage trying to run the other car off the road, seen plenty of dash cam videos just like that
6:40 Can't see what happened behind. But cammer clearly made an illegal lane change. Can't change 2 lanes at one time, let alone 3 lanes at one time.
What's a cammer

They are illegal in some places.
Illegal in almost all states, and are always on trucks owned by people like the douche in the clip. Yup he is the victim for berating an old lady.
@@donnash5813 They should be illegal in all states.
Nope, it’s just some horn blaster junk. That ain’t a real train horn. A real train horn is something like a Leslie, Nathan, or WABCO brand horn. Those are what you’d see on real locomotives.
1:17 - "Jump Around" by House of Pain. This is one of the handful of times that I've recognized the music the cammer was listening to during the clip. Another time was "Ballad of a Southern Man" by Whisky Meyers.
1:50 Cammer is at fault. They turned across traffic without being sure the way was clear. NEVER turn left in these situations. Turn right and go around a block. Few extra minutes and save yourself MANY hours of trouble and $ in insurance
Agreed. I'll never understand people turning left across multiple lanes of heavy traffic. I've seen 3 accidents happen that way.
So many accidents could be avoided if more people did that. Instead of trying to take some crazy left turn just go with the traffic and turn around. Same for the people that miss their exit and then decide to swerve across the highway onto the exit ramp. Just take the L, go to the next exit and turn around. Or use GPS to find a different route. The roads are usually connected. Its just baffling sometimes.
@Aluzky When turning left like this you have to be extremely cautious,but I agree with you seems like the other vehicle was in the on coming traffic lane trying to get to the turning lane.
The other dude was driving on the oncoming lane I'll say 50/50
I know, just go up the road and make a U-Turn at some point. It'll take like two minutes.
5:41 this is one of the first things I taught my kids when i was teaching them to drive. Always look to see if the car in first of you left BEFORE taking off to make a right turn in these kinds of turning lanes. Sadly my son had his first accident like this! The first thing I told him was, "Don't you remember me telling to look first?"
I got hit like that once. Don’t assume the car in front continued forward.
I'm always afraid of getting rear ended this way. It helps to always fully commit to the turn if you're the car in front.
5:00 that was some amazing driving from the civic
The first one, the loose tire smashing you. I watched this happen years ago, a trailer ahead of me lost a wheel. It bounced over the wall doing 80 and landed square in the windshield killing the driver. I watched after it broke loose and eventually right into that poor lady. Average white lady around 48 was driving, the terror on her face as the tire dropped was the same as any of us in that oh shit moment.
My dad was driving on a bridge over the white river in Arkansas when a semi tire came flying at him. It crossed 5 empty lanes to hit him in my mom's PT Cruiser. That thing buckled like a soda can, you could barely tell it used to be a car. He completely split the skin on his chin, shattered part of his knee and fractured his foot in 4 places. But he said the worst part was when the ER nurses cut his jacket off. He got it when he was 19 in the airforce and it still fit him at 48 years old. He kept trying to get it off in the ambulance so they wouldn't cut it but they refused to let him move. He was furious after that and just wanted to go home to smoke some weed and calm down lol
You saw all of that while driving at 80 ?
Just need to say lady nothing more to describe 😐
I love that a lot of these there's plenty of time to stop or avoid. Like, yes the other person is at fault, but a lot of these you can see exactly what's gonna happen but the driver will continue as if they see nothing and then surprise pikachu face when an accident happens
Wrong way on a one-way street is a classic. Wrong way on a divided highway is a classic. A railroad track (late at night) is suitable for automobiles is another.
WOW!! The white Audi actually stop for the driver. I'm honestly in shock I thought it would be a hit and run.
Technically it was a hit and run. The fact that the cammer had to chase him down is despicable.
It wasn't for a lack of trying, that's for sure.
Yeah when you see something that intense ( 3:24 ), I know I have to pull over like 'OMG' myself. I once seen a semi trailer's wheels go rogue on black ice on the interstate... sidewinded sideways into the median and about flipped the truck itself, headed into oncoming traffic all the while. Was intense. I pulled over to make a call - and would you believe a mini prisoner bus was right there to respond lol
in real life I have seen so many near accidents when some "do-gooder" stops where there is no stop to let some driver or pedestrian cross multiple lanes and then get nearly clobbered. Why don't people realize that unless you can magically stop all the other lanes where there is no stop, your "feel good" approach is putting people at risk!!!??? And you cannot magically do that, so don't try!!!!
1:45 50/50 Both drivers are in the wrong. One for turning left when only a right turn is allowed and the other for being on the other side of the median.
1:00 If the cops had your dash cam video they would probably fault the green car for an illegal pass.
Depends on which driver is white. The racist cops will side with them
I hope so. Too many people do that.
Nope the white car would still be at fault because they have to yield to oncoming traffic
@@kylededrick199 I don't think the cops would call that "oncoming traffic" as he wasn't legally in a lane. No reason for the white car to be looking that way.
@@johnnielson4341 the white car would still be at fault because when the collision happened the green car was in the start of the turning lane
2:38 I think she got the message with the blaring of his horn, no needed to be an A..
5:48 That almost happened to me a couple days ago. I was starting to make my right turn then realized that an oncoming car was moving a bit faster than I thought so I stopped. The guy behind me caught it and stopped inches behind my car. He then tailgated me for a couple of miles. Hope I hadn't made him spill his coffee.
Some people are very slow learners.
5:12 Mattress attack
Coming soon to a theater near you
@7:18 the impatient one is the one recording going way out into the far left lane before up to speed. Similiar situation on the next video but the one in the far left lane was the one recording that time. The white car that hit the red car never should have taken full blame.
As a new driver I get scared I’m gonna be in one of those clips of people doing the traffic patterns wrong 😂😅
0:15 - so now we know a semi-truck tire *CAN* feel like getting shot by a light tank...wild !
200 lbs. of tire and rim hitting you at 70 mph.??? Light tank ammo, (maybe Italian). You have to torque down long haul lugs and/or nuts at EXACTLY the torque suggested, or they either snap, break, or go loose on you. This is probably on the mechanic doing the tire rotation.
We don't rotate semi tires
@@nahnah6765 No, we don't. They just get replaced with new tires when they wear out. And truck tires only weigh about 100 pounds, not 200.
I love that he pulled over with concern when the red car lost control! You are a hero
6:25 anybody else notice how the cammer moved to the left as the idiot was passing on the shoulder like he was trying to stop him from passing like that? Seems like some of the blame is on the cammer.
7:18 This is a VERY charitable interpretation of the hit and run that occurred.
9:25 When this guy got hit it sounded like a mario coin popped out of his vehicle ;-)
Welcome to Mario Kart!
5:29 “I guess I live here now”.
6:30 Cammer is a danger on the roads. Illegal lane change, probably cutting off the other car, then races down the road and has to slam on his brakes to stop.
Dude, think and chill.
Totally not a good thing to do but it was pretty satisfying watching the guy chase down a hit and runner like that.
yea he definitely cut him off, just because someones going over the speed limit does not give u right to jump in the left lane and block them
9:32 why does it sound like he just collected a coin in a video game?
7:32 Lousy lane change by the pickup, no doubt. RIDICULOUS speed for the cammer, given the traffic situation. Sheesh!
Everyone else is slowing down/stopping I better speed up.
As a driver that’s learning rn with a permit this helps me visualize real life situations to be a safe driver
Same
@@tungstenwhizard4361 be safe out there!
@@elipymentGG Thanks, you too! 😁
1:31 I "love" how instead of breaking, he accelerate, escalating the situation. Sure the red car made an illegal move, but I'll never understand why americans thinks is better to crash instead of brake.
Yeah cammers always do that…
Because if you brake on a highway there is a fat chance that someone will rear-end you causing a major traffic jam, especially if you're on the left-most side. You can literally see that occur in other clips in this video
@@mixichip you don’t have to slam on your brakes, you can just not accelerate and slowly brake as required. You don’t just keep accelerating and almost cause an accident because you’re in the right
@@big1016 even going 10mph under the speed limit will cause a crash so good luck with that
@@mixichip Even a slight deceleration would’ve been fine in preventing an accident. If he kept on at that speed and ended up crashing into the red car this would’ve been much more dangerous.
7:10 Audi should still be charged with hit and run even though he did...eventually...stop. Surprised there was so little damage
@TransCube I think you should go back and look at the laws yourself. It depends on the jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions, hit and run is simply failing to stop at the scene of an accident. "Just calling the cops" is not "all good" in most areas. Most areas, you'll get yourself at least a misdemeanour charge for leaving the scene.
TransCube you are amazingly wrong on so many levels.
That's what happens when you get your law degree from RUclips University.
@TransCube nope what? You think all jurisdictions in the world have the same rules for hit and run?
Maybe he had diarrhea….
@TransCube Yes you can move forward a reasonable amount but you literally fleeing the driver trying to exchange insurance with you is how you end up with a warrant especially if you pull out a firearm and wave it around like a golden goose. You cannot get into an accident and go out of your way to avoid the other individual involved that is the definition of hitting and running lmfao
9:38 Not only did the white SUV cut the other car off but BREAK CHECKED HIM! I bet he wouldn't have stopped if the cop hadn't been on the side of the road and saw the whole thing. 'It was at this moment he knew he F'd up!'
It didn't "brake-check" him. Its brake lights were on as it _started_ to change lanes (because the driver mismanaged the move and got too close to the car in front). Its brake lights _go out_ when it fully enters the left lane. If it were brake-checking that is when the lights would come _on_ . Instead they go off because it is clear of the car it passing and about to speed away. They come on again after the incident happens behind.
And what "cop" do you mean? There's no person or vehicle on either side of the road. And the vehicle entering the road from the shoulder is not a police vehicle. No markings, not a highway police vehicle, and badly driven (contributing to the collision by entering at the wrong time and cutting off the vehicle that was hit).
@@paulkennedy8701 I've seen this clip before on another channel and the cammer says there was a cop there. Just because you don't see him doesn't mean he wasn't there. The cammer WAS there and he saw him. Either way the idiot that changed lane caused the accident like a MORON he is. Didn't check his mirrors or shoulder check before changing lane. I don't think the cammer would lie about the cop being there.
@@paulkennedy8701 I went back and looked and the car riding on the shoulder ahead must be an unmark cop car because that's the only other car on the side of the road as the cammer claimed where he was. I guess after the accident he saw a cop come out of that car.
@@TimHammett1964
But the video didn't mention a cop. The driver didn't stop because he saw a cop. He stopped as soon as he saw the collision behind him.
@@paulkennedy8701 Did you miss my first comment above? It clearly states I saw this clip on another video and the cammer did state there was a cop on the side of the road. Just because it was put on this clip doesn't mean I'm lying.
5:18 I was there when that happened I actually saw them disconnecting the trailer but I had thought they got it stuck 😂
03:23 with out dash cam, they would have pinned it on the 18-wheeler some how... has happened millions of times....
1:03 How is it the white SUV’s fault? The other car was passing out of the lane crossing a double yellow line, wow!
I too would like to l know how the SUV was a fault.
White SUV pulled into oncoming traffic when it wasnt clear thats why
I know exactly what kind of person the cammer at 2:34 is. Feels small but wants to be a big man.
Clearly he's trying to overcompensate for what he lacks in other... areas.
Nah that old lady is stupid
5:25 what's great about them destroying it...is they decided to do that at 4:00 on a Friday.....f'd up traffic pretty good. Glad to see the pic of that very identifiable truck and I will be keeping an eye out.
@7:55 the dash cam does show a lane change, but the fool behind the wheel of the camera car was driving WAY too fast for the conditions. If you're speeding around slow or stalled traffic you don't get to place the entire blame on others.
7:40 Driver going to fast for traffic conditions. Even though the truck did not signal, I see a lack of taking responsibility for their own selfish stupidity.
3:24
"I TURN NOW GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!"
1:01 I came SO close to having this happen to me. Some idiot thought he was nice by ignoring right-of-way laws, refusing to move to let me through, and my car came inches away from getting hit. I should not have gone, but he should not have LITERALLY obstructed my view.
8:04 "Like OMG Becci would you look at that. Like its like a one way dude."
3:24 i think that’s the first time i can say i’ve seen somebody (almost) underreact instead of overreact on this channel. i…wow, that one really got to me.
1:50 the yellow lines are the same as a barrier. The car shouldn't have been there. I wouldnt necessarily say your brother is at fault for going through the traffic jsut a very risky move.
At 6:06 if she couldn't see the light was out, then she couldn't see if it was red or green.
She sees the truck go so assumes its green
1:42 yeah, if it wasn’t readily apparent from ALL the other crash videos, the car cutting through is always at fault.
In that case the guy passing while not even in a lane would be partially at fault.
1:20
I really don't understand people who think just putting on their signal gives them permission to lane change whether there is traffic in the lane or not. Their signal is on and they expect everyone to slow down and make room for them. I swear they don't even check for traffic. When you crash into them they always say "Well I had my signal on..."
Thank you. Sick of listening to those defend the people with indicators on like that gives them authority to do whatever they want

@@jb6712 why are you so worried about how other people word things ??? weirdo
First Video: Tire rotation ... I had new tires put on .. hours later, I was reading the fine print on the receipt/work order, it said vehicle owner responsible for lug-nut tightness ... WTF ... I went out and checked, sure enough they needed wrenching ... betcha most people don't read that
At KAL tire they mark down the torque settings of every lug nut and make a note for you to return in one week to have them re-torqued.
True you are supposed to check lugs however semis don't rotate tires
@ 7:52 "driver fails to signal, causing accident"
See, the issue with that is, everyone is depending on a $2 lightbulb to work 100% , 100% of the time, bulbs burn out, bad connections from corrosion too, the driver may have put the turn signal ON, but the bulb didn't light up. Can't always assume someone "didnt signal"
09:25 Now we know what can go wrong when travelling far too close to the vehicle in front. Would have been different if the driver was just a second or two further back and had slowed down less rapidly.
He also had slow reaction.
Really hope you're talking about the one that rearended the cammer, not the cammer who actually did have room to slow down in time to avoid a collision. Because trying to pass blame from someone who actually rearended someone onto one who did not is really fucking stupid.
3:25 When people avoid hitting an animal.
5:40 I get the feeling there is a very depressing backstory to this.
9:20 you can tell its the wrong way wait a minute he was on the wrong side of the highway 😱😔
The truck getting hit with the tire scared tf outta me
I always have to be so aware when in the fast lane and the slow lanes are at a stand still. Someone is always going to pull out in front of you with no warning
Gotta keep that speed differential with stopped traffic at 10-15mph so you have time to brake. Every one of these incidents either one or both of the drivers were speeding.
10:25 he doesn't even have working reverse lights smh
It's scary the way the cammer at 6:25 was willing to endanger everyone on the road including themselves over damage that was less severe than the damage I've gotten from a too-narrow parking garage door. Ridiculous.
3:25 I hope everyone turned out okay, especially the white car, in the clip it almost looks like the truck drove over the white car
the person in the white car is most definitely dead if not severely injured with lifelong trauma. the semi crushed it against the guardrail. as for the red car, i didn't really see where it went, but those people might be okay
6:50 wasn't realizing the clip was sped up and i thought to myself "my goodness this person is going wayyyy to fast"
1:41 - Your brother is at fault. He turned left, into traffic, without making sure all lanes were clear. #TheEnd
Yes and No. Morally, both are at fault... because if you change the point of view: For both partys, the other party suddenly appeared, where nothing should appear, if everyone followed the rules of traffic. The other party was not driving in his lane, nor where he was allowed to.
But since the camera was moving out from a yard, into a different street, he has always more fault than the other party. If you turn into a different street, the traffic can drive totally reckless on the wrong side of the road - if an accident happens, you are responsible at first and at most.
But technically, I would go to court with this. Camera vehicle was driving slowly and carefully, while the other one was speeding like shit. A clever and correct judge should acknowledge this and make the other party more at fault.
@@Snakehad95 - I recall seeing this same video on another channel, and in that the on-screen commentary (the non-driving brother) stated that the driver (other brother) was turning left out of the exit, which was marked no left turn. So, that puts a whole new spin on it.
No left turn ...the other driver could have been in a medical emergency etc! Another thing ,if your gonna break the rules of the road,you better make damn sure you don't need up. Double check triple check or you get checked.
6:10 But could she see it with the sun directly in front of her? And the cammer couldn't see that she wasn't stopping? In a situation like that with traffic lights out and intersection uncontrolled, it's especially important to keep an eye on what everyone lese is doing.
Lucky I've never needed the footage but shit like this is why I got a dashcam. Best $50 you'll ever spend!
