@roadrocket7770 Absolutamente I don't drive stick but I know how,,Auto is just convenient but with standard clutch 😀, No time to fumble with phone 📱 drink or eat burger 🍔😔.
@ilijabosnjak76 There absolutely is time, manual isnt that attention taking. You just press pedal and change gear, its automatic once you drive for a bit. And besides, you arent shifting constantly
It’s always funny watching the generation that taught us “driving is a privilege, not a right” ditch that belief the second someone suggests that people who are too old to drive safely should get their license taken away.
Yea but alot of old people have no one and barely make enough to eat,I see some eating cat food and having to drive when they can barely see,it's crazy
I remember talking to a friend half a year ago and he make a great comment "man I remember when I would go driving to decompress and calm down, now every day I'm afraid I'm going to get killed by some dickhead on his phone."
I used to do this too when I got my first car. If I couldn't sleep I would drive around and try to figure out my area better, I share the same sentiment.
The other problem I have is the kind of cars I'm sharing the road with. Not only is it some douchenozzle on their phone, it's some douchenozzle on their phone at the helm of a 6,800 pound armored personnel carrier of a vehicle because little Tragedeigh needs to go to lacrosse practice.
@twotailedavengerThese folks are driving around in vehicles with a worse view of what's in front of them than modern tanks. I'd probably feel safer driving down the road next to an Abrams than I would some of these suburban assault vehicles.
@twotailedavenger Minivans, SUVs, full-size pickups, all too big and too tall. Vans aren't much better but at least the people driving them actually need them.
That's me. I used to not mind living far from my job because I enjoyed driving. But after getting my car hit 3 times in 1 year on the same road every time, I decided to move closer to my job so that I have to drive the least amount that I have to.
People treat cars like the internet. They think there invincible and can do whatever they want, and there will be zero consequences. Then when there are consequences there shocked and surprised by it.
I used to work as a porter at a place that hired elderly people. I near got hit multiple times by a coworker that was in his 70s. When I chewed him out, his retort was, "I've been driving longer than you've been alive." and straight to his face I told him, "YES, THAT THE PROBLEM."
Honestly I'd tolerate all the crashes and fatalities if they'd just be humble and act responsible about it. "I'm so sorry for what I've done; I can't ever make up for it but I ask your forgiveness anyway". NOPE instead it's always "Don't tell me what to do" or "It just happened, don't ask me". Disgusting.
@iridescentsea3730bingo. I had this happen just earlier today. Old lady straight up almost rammed me off the side of the road and into a light pole. I followed her to her parking lot because she nearly fucking killed me. I approach her and she got angry at me because I honked my horn at her. Tried explaining “you almost killed me” and of all things she defends herself with “I’ve been driving longer than you’ve been alive, I know what I’m doing, and you need to be more careful!” Even though if I was just a shred less careful she’d be shitting her pants wondering how she’d be covering my medical bills and cost of a new car. Unfortunately a lot of these idiots won’t change a single thing about their habits unless they kill somebody AND face the consequences. A rare combo with our justice system. We’ve never lived in such an enabling system that allows pure inadequacy to seep through the cracks at such a volume as it does. Though I suppose that’s what happens when incompetent boomers and silent gen folks are the ones making the laws.
My old boss bought his daughter 3 luxury SUVs by 19 cuz she totaled them all 😂😂 Last accident she injured a pregnant woman... Finally my boss started talking about not letting her drive 😂😂 but I don't think he ever followed thru... I got like 3-5 elderly neighbors who need to surrender their licenses
I love that you are a car enthusiast that proves that just because someone’s enthusiast doesn’t mean they have to be in the cult of societal car dependency. It’s nice to hear people who aren’t ignorant to the issues of it that AREN’T anti-car full stop.
@somedude9934 the Netherlands is supposedly one of the best countries in the world to enjoy driving in for this very reason. Everyone who doesn't really care for driving, can take the train, or even cycle on the countrywide network of bicycle highways. Many of the things improving stuff for non car users can make driving in cities harder, since unlike the US you simply can't drive everywhere. But the highway/countryside was always more enjoyable than city traffic anyways.
One thing that I noticed is if you mention the idea of fixing poor/nonexistent alternatives to most people that complain about traffic, they deflect to “but then there’s less road for cars and it will get worse!” The truth is that if you give people reasonably safe alternatives, including ensuring that downtown areas are walkable, you’ll create space for cars by removing people that don’t want to and/or can’t reasonably afford to drive from the road. Traffic-based city planners DON’T want to do this because doing a good job means that they don’t get called back, but doing a sufficiently suboptimal job guarantees that they’ll be needed again. I’m glad that I can’t afford a car, not because I don’t want to drive or leave the area but because I see how scary other drivers are daily on my walk to and home from work.
Theyre gonna unbuckle their seatbelts on the highway so they can lean forward and try to swipe the windshield to change the background to something they like better
I was a firefighter from 2017 to 2021 and to this day can’t wrap my head around how we responded to more vehicle accidents in 2019 and 20 DURING SHUTDOWNS than years prior
6. Drive in the right most lane on the highway at all times. If you're not overtaking, move over! This also has the added benefit of not being able to pass on the right.
i got a zero in the eye test and i still got a permit , i ultimately decided to not risk everyone else's life for my convince but its crazy i was ever allowed.
Dawg we got easy tests and people still need 3+ tries to pass 😭. What's worse is that there a lot of undocumented immigrants driving without licenses, and in Minnesota they passed a law that allows anyone to obtain a license if they pass the written and practical tests. They still fail up to 5 times and they've been driving for years to decades
@My_name-is_Skylar_White_yothank you for being a responsible human. Genuinely, some people way less smart than you get themselves pets only to set them out in the wild when they go on vacation or some shit.
My driving test was driving in a closed parking lot. The only "road" driving I had to do was at the DMV, i had to exit the parking lot into a turn lane that lasted maybe 200 feet, and the turn lane turned back into the dmv.
@jong2359 Roundabouts are fantastic, and much better than 4 way stops or traffic lights. All you have to do is yield to traffic already in the roundabout, otherwise you don't even have to stop.
The other day someone merged into my lane without using a blinker, almost hitting me as I was passing and then they have the audacity to get mad at me despite them being the one in the wrong by honking and turning on their high beams while we were driving through a snowstorm. All I can say is, I hope they meet someone with nothing to lose on the road one day.
Low-key my biggest issue is that on top of being dumb, they're impatient. So many of the mistakes I see here in the Midwest is because someone was impatient
lets flip this dichotomy: maybe there are alot of really grating bad drivers, which are triggering other bad drivers to be impatient? I am one of these impatient drivers (no accidents in 15 years), and I would point out that I get impatient when people go 10 miles under on the highway, cant pick a lane, signaling only after they have initiated a maneuver, going the speed of the terrain rather than the speed of the road (dont ride your breaks because youre on a hill, thats causing vibratory patterns backwards into traffick, increasing risks) there are just many many many many atupid and selfish drivers who hide behind "im safe!" when they are actually a road hazard, causing people to become more impatient every day due to their tepid driving patterns. the roads are dangerous. if you cant handle it, dont drive!!! you should be criminally punished for being a road hazard, just as badly as if you had caused an accident. its preemptive maintenance, engineers understand.
In the northeast i got passed by an suv while entering the i90 after a toll booth. That tenth of a mile between toll boith and onramp they almost plowed themselves into the concrete divider just because i was following the speed limit.
@DavidSmith-cr7mb same here- the level of pure frustration I get approaching one of the multitude of roundabouts in our city _THAT HAVE BEEN HERE +8 YEARS NOW_ and these idiots have zero ability to anticipate, understand the concept of yield (NOT STOP) exiting, and maintaining a safe distance is absolutely criminal. If you’re that terrified by a roundabout please either learn how they work or avoid at all costs.
They don't even check the light crosswalk for the pedestrian. Like they ready to murder someone trying to cross the road and having the right to do so, because of the light.
fucker has been alive for almost a century and couldn't wait 10 seconds for the road to be clear sad part is people like these get to keep their license and never learn
Last year a 71 year old church lady ran the yellow left turn arrow when I had the green. She told the police she had the green light. Said she was late for a church meeting. Good thing I had dashcam but instead of the cop looking at it, he told the old lady she better change her story. Lmao.
Yea i saw someone near me had their car wedged sideways between two parked cars, like the car was on its side stuck between them. no godawful clue what went on there
I use a minibus to get to school everyday, and EVERY SINGLE TIME there's always drivers around us on their phones, parking in open roads, cutting us off, and whenever the bus driver points them out, the idiots in those cars either look confused af or go full road rage mode. It genuinely confuses me how some people manage to get a drivers license when they can't even realise where they're parking is blocking a whole route.
The fuck bro? I betted my entire life savings that you weren’t going to upload another car video ever again cause you said so! You owe me 50 cents (thats my life savings)
Over the last couple days, I've counted 4+ people a day driving with their brights on. I don't mean those super bright LED bullshit, but people with regular ass headlights running around with highbeams
I see that stuff regularly. + where I live we get a lot of snow & ice. Literally any single time weather happens peoples driving skills drop by 120% its mind blowing
Almost every time I drive at night there's at least one crayon license that can't remember to turn their headlight on at night. If you can't make sure your headlights are on at NIGHT you should NOT have a driver's license.
@4markieAnd the sheer audacity for them to get angry when you flash at them to try to bring to their attention that their damn lights aren't even switched on.
In Switzerland and Europe a drivers license cost around 2000-4000 chf/euros. We study, and learn how to drive. In america getting a drivers license is a complete joke.
The hard part is the absolute nessecity of a car in the US compared to Europe in Europe there us a lot of public transport and distences are a lot smaller case in the point of the family that are not local the absolute cliest is 3 amd a half hours away and that is pure distence traffic is a non issue u t the last like 30 mi uses or so and if you time it right you can avoid it. After tgat the next closest is 10 hours so its either spending like $700 on a plane ticket and $300 on a rental car anyway because to get anywhere in a reasonable time frame you still need one.
You people can probably go your whole life without having to drive, i can’t walk to the gas station without nearly getting hit because there are zero sidewalks. They lobbied for cars, not for good drivers.
I used to think, "No, we don't need to gatekeep. We can be more inclusive." But now I think, "The passion that is cars must be gatekept, at all costs."
Crazy how it sent his career spiraling afterwards. People admire supercar owners to imprint onto them. But when they see someone wreck it, it breaks the illusion of a rich successful dude and made him look like the clown he is. He created his own Canon Event and can't take responsibility for it lmao.
Another thing I noticed about roundabouts - at least in Arizona - is that hardly anyone uses their signals in one even though you’re supposed to use them like you would at a traditional intersection.
Not exactly. You can be on the inside of a 2 lane roundabout and go to exit but be hit by someone on the outer (right) lane who is also supposed to exit but tries to keep going around the circle. The outer lane must take the first available exit
got my license at 17, currently 18. iv never heard of a diverging diamond, and on my test i asked about roundabouts and they told me word for word “those are not too important, we dont test those”. and big shocker, my first time on a roundabout i almost caused an accident.
Do you know now? It’s just a yield to those already in the roundabout. More specifically, I yield to those who are on the nearest 120-150° to me within the circle. If you’re continuing straight through the roundabout, no blinkers. If you’re entering the roundabout from one road and ending up on another road, blinker before entering to signal which road just like a stop sign. This gives a heads up to the other ways of entering the roundabout which way you will be exiting the roundabout, helping them predict your movements and making the flow smoother.
So why aren’t kids fucking looking up how one works before ignorantly using one. Do they not care about others? Why does getting your license matter more than knowing all you CAN learn about the roads you would soon travel.
It really pisses me off that 80% of the time these people survive with barely any injuries while the victims have to go to the hospital fighting to stay alive
@MegaM1021and even if the victims die usually the driver just gets a slap on the wrist an a wag of the finger from the judge saying “please don’t do this again PLEASE!” Even if they’ve got 20 previous vehicular homicide charges on their record… doesn’t matter.
In my home town, a ninety year old went on the wrong side of the freeway, crashed into an suv. 3 people died. The ninety year old, and the two people in the front of the SUV. A lot of old people live in that town, I’ve had a few near misses because of them. I understand that it sucks to lose that independence, because of how car centric the US is, and wish that public transportation was better so don’t have to drive. It doesn’t justify that it’s actively risking people that are way younger than them lives. Public transportation needs to be funded. So people that don’t want to drive/ or shouldn’t drive have a better option.
EXACTLY and getting old and having to rely on other people (taking public transportation in this case) shouldn't be seen as a negative thing, i've seen so many old people refuse to acknowledge that they need help and can't be as independent as they used to be, either because they don't want to be a burden or because they look down on people who need assistance and don't want to be one of those people. and I think that stubbornness could be part of why they want to keep driving themselves, along with the lack of good public transportation
Actually, the lack of walk ways, bike lanes and public transportation is the only thing that justifies unfit and old people to drive around. The period when an old person is not fit to drive an SUV but is still able to walk or us a tri-cyckle can be more than 20 years. You can't expect them to stay at home or call an uber every day.
@will-zj5gq I'm not saying that it's right. The missing infrastructure needs to be built. 16 years old kids have also no business driving a 2+ tons monster on public roads.
17:54 when I was a wee lad I lived in the very end of a closed off neighborhood and there was a dead end that was originally meant to connect the back end of the neighborhood to the main road through a relatively small section of woodlands. Later as I got older I found out reason it was never connected to the main road was because an ecological survey found that the small wooded area was actually a habitat for an endangered species of salamanders, and also contained a fair few endangered plant species like Jack-in-the-pulpits. So sometimes there is a reason why an inconvenience exists, while other times there might not be a reason and it is indeed an oversight.
Coming up to my 60th this year, I'm also an ex trainee Driving Instructor, I firmly believe in retests every ten years through your driving career and every five after 60.
Honestly I think we need to actually crack down on bad driving. Not just with tests but like actually pull over bad drivers. A few years ago I was nearly run over in front of a cop by this guy blowing through a solid red light. Did the cop go after him? No. Didn’t even ask if I was ok as I started to panic that I was nearly killed. And I know there weren’t any traffic cameras there as the state didn’t allow them. But by not pulling people over the state can claim that their roads are safer when they just aren’t controlled at all.
I think traffic violations should be easier for cops to report. I think most of the incidents are ignored because of the cop simply doesn't want to overload themselves with the paperwork. If it was easier for them, they may be more willing to catch more in the act.
There's a guy in my neighborhood who never uses his turn signal and road rages every time someone coming from the other direction cuts him off when he wants to turn left at a stop sign.
Ironically, in places like India where traffic laws and sometimes even getting a driver's license is actually a suggestion, the drivers are significantly better than US drivers. I guess it's because they have to pay attention all the time compared to here where the drivers used to be more predictable.
@ViviSectia considering it is mostly twists and turns plus you will be driving in tight spaces that can only fit one car and mere inches as a curb side for any pedestrians as well in india so indians could tend to be better drivers but obvious it depends on one's skill level
As someone who's 22 and hasn't driven anything except my uncle's Jeep to get a feel for it, I have things about myself that make me dread getting a license or permit. Especially when it a case of drunken idiots behind the wheel that killed my dad the day before Christmas Eve.
I agree, but i think thats more of a symptom of better engine tech than intentional design, engines havent gotten any bigger in the last 20 years, but better designed, so greater power output and efficency. My 20 year old lincoln mkz has a 0-60 of 8 sec cause its engine was decently high performance for the time. Now, a 6000 pound suv can do that, which is honestly scary from a simple physics POV
Absolute Facts. 300-400HP used to mean something. Now 2020 Commuter cars make 2010s Sports Car Power, but for people who aren't used to driving Sports Cars. Definitely why that 80yr lady crashed. She probably was used to commuters having 120hp like they used to, so she's foot to the flooring it around town not realizing she's a cruise missile now....
My best friend drove long-haul for a while and had to do an entire month-long training program with an extremely difficult, no-room-for-error final exam to get his cert. He's a really good driver so he passed with flying colors on his second attempt (failed the first bc he accidentally nudged a curb at the end but did perfect otherwise). Pisses both of us off to no end seeing other semitruck drivers drive stupidly, just knowing how much training/how perfect you need to be to even GET a long-haul cert in the first place. also fun fact for anyone who isn't aware, most u-haul/penske trucks do NOT require a CDL to rent/drive, so if you're already nervous about driving near trucks then be EXTRA careful around those, because you have no way of knowing if there's actually a professional behind the wheel or not.
the retesting for elderly people is such a good point. im on the road watching some of these people. i think up to 1/3 of elderly drivers have debilitating eyesight or hearing issues.
Yea I can't relate I'm to broke for a modern car and I'm not going to sell my soul for one. Still rocking my 08 mazda 3 as a daily only thing it has is abs and dogwater raceland coilovers 😂
@TheWeavingBagelIt's also in part due to Electric Power Steering. Many systems have heavy amounts of assistance, which is part of why they feel numb.
It’s very scary to be driving something that has the capability to destroy someone’s life but just pay attention to your surroundings and study the laws of the road and you’ll be okay
We desperately need to make it harder to get your license, harder to keep your license, and/or raise the minimum driving age. Half the people I know have been involved in accidents. I spent a full year restoring my RX-7, just for it to be totaled when some idiot decided to run a flashing yellow left turn light when I had a solid green. His dad YELLED at the police officer on scene that "Flashing yellow means I have the right away". Drivers really are getting stupider. He got 0 repercussions, by the way, aside from his insurance needing to pay me out (as much as they FOUGHT to only give me $4k instead of the $12k my FC was worth)
@gahbah274 It was honestly worth more, but my insurance coverage at the time was only for $12k since that's what the agreed upon value was when I bought it. Could've probably gotten $20k if I updated it with my company. I had Hagerty though, so they gave me $12k, then forced Progressive (the at fault insurance) to reimburse them without affecting my rates
You literally named the problem but think the solution is punishing legal safe drivers? How about courts and cops actually doing their job? And not making it harder for the avg person to get and keep the license
@Drewcardelloexactly. Maybe if we punished the people who did bad things, bad things would be attempted less. But no. Now days people do dumb shit because there’s a 90% chance nothing will happen to them
@basiliskbro4078 for 2-3k i wouldn't worry about the paint, check that shit up and down for any leftovers. Got a stiff bill for the same price on a little door ding that insurance paid for, and the mf's didn't even finish fixing part of the dent.
My ongoing terror scenario occurs more often as Gen Alpha gets closer to filling our highways. They don't recognise their own Names when written, They cannot Read, They cannot follow a plot .... and this is just the beginning of their generation's lack of human incompatibility .
I work at a carwash. you'd be amazed on how many people don't know how to read simple directions and put their car in neutral. It terrifies me that I drive with those people on the road. They're always on their phone doing anything but driving.
Same and fully agreed-the number of people who inch up to the belt just to floor it once they fiiinaaalllyyy reach it is absurd. Like do they not know all you have to do is bump the shifter/knob/whatever tf they have without even braking to put it in N??
The decline of the normal sedan/hatchback, the extreme rise of crossovers and SUV’s more bland than Great Value White Bread, bad and/or distracted drivers now littering the roads, and both used car prices and manual-equipped car prices way more than they should be make for one big pot of Enthusiast Hell Soup. You’d expect people would be driving better with the safety stuff that comes in cars now, but I’ve seen people literally stare at the lane departure warning yelling at them for not using turn signals like they were watching cocomelon. In awe that, in spite of my daily having blind spot monitors and a rear view cam, I still use the mirrors and turn my head to fully view my surroundings as if those safety features didn’t exist. It’s a basic driving requirement to be able to view and act based on your surroundings, but now there’s this dumb expectation from both new and existing NPC drivers that their appliance car should do the work for them. It’s insanity.
I assume the standards of drivers are shit as well.. given that you have immigrants over there but those are probably all deported by now lmao It's truly fascinating how bad it is over there but here in Iran, even tho stick is everywhere, some just can't be aware of their fucking surrounding and cut you off and park their car in the middle of the fucking road when you just go to a main street (happened to me once and it honestly baffling) Atleast we have hatches and compact sedans. Tho the Chinese SUV craze is on the rise.. tho they will never go away due to our economic situation
People see there car has a feature and act like they don't have to do the basic parts of driving anymore. Blind spot warning is not so you dont have to check your blind spots, its incase you checked your blind spot and missed something. Automatic emergency braking is not there so you can stare at your phone and hope the car stops. Lane keep assist is not so you can stare at your phone and hope you stay on the road. It ALWAYS comes back to people doing anything BUT driving when they are behind the wheel.
i remember one time i had my dad in my car with me and he said to me "jUsT uSe tHe BaCkUp CaMeRa" when using that In conjunction with using my mirrors and head
People don't seem to understand that I'm driving a big heavy cargo vehicle weighing more than most of their trucks and SUVs, with thousands upon thousands of dollars of merchandise onboard. And that I'm constantly being monitored. So they tailgate, they cut in way too close, etc.
10:52 There is an Asian joke, a female joke, an elderly joke, and a bad driver joke all in one right there. You can call me racist all you want, stereotypes are funny, they all just so happen to involve a bad driver turned killer.
my math teacher got hit by a 80-90 yo driver who ran a red light (i dont remember his age), the driver ran over my tachers legs. both legs broke and his spine was injured, so he wasnt able to walk for like really long time and still has truble walking to this day. but guess what happend to the driver? NOTHING they just let him go. (this happend like 2 years ago i think) (also the driver was in a rental car, but there was no significant damage i think) (also also, this happened in the eu btw...)
@mikegamikegaIf the old guy was having a medical emergency, there's this cool new invention that not only allows someone to drive you to the hospital, but can even treat you on the way with a simple phone call, I just wish I could remember the number to 911 to call them in an emergency.
lmao i used to be on an FB group back in the day that posted the absurdity of how we measure things. "It's 2 football fields" BUt it does say 30 METERS above the Blue Whale to be fair.
Who cares? Even for me, it's ridiculous to use cheeseburgers as a measurement, but the reason why everyday things are used is to give you a sense of scale.
Blue whales are my preferred measurement. How can you not want to measure stuff in one of the greatest ocean creatures to ever bless us with its existence.
And many people complain why insurance rates are skyrocketing. These people don’t make our situation better with the way they act on roads. And now we all have to deal with insurance companies charging us some insanely high premiums.
Yep jaywalking was our things in Mindanao Philippines. In my location we don't have stop light and huge highway. Jay walk was opinional but the cars its FAST AS 50MPH so becareful crossing the road
12:59 the fact that I can no longer count on two hands, the amount of overturned vehicles and semi trucks I’ve seen on roundabouts on my daily commute to work, proves this point.
Dude. I’ve been a trucker since sept 2014. I’m right at a million miles and holy shit man. It’s bad dude. I legit cannot get on the road and not crash out atleast once from other peoples stupidity. Terrible man.
WHATTTTTT??????? NAHHHHHHHHH. ACTUAL MAIN CHAR SYNDROME CLOWN. They deserve everything that's happening to them then. Unlucky for them, we live in a world of cameras and we can see his MF Car run that red....
_Literally short sighted_ But yeah it's not mandated in all states. Some states do mandate it, but since people can easily drive over state borders, People who would fail the exam who shouldn't be on the road can still cheese the system that way.
We really need better public transport in america old and even people with duis will risk driving just because they don't have many other options all thanks to the oil and car lobby bribes
Whenever a state or local government in the US tries to enforce reasonable driving laws, you end up having an endless number of braindead morons acting like their first amendment rights have been taken away.
@analienmango8756 bUT mUH FREEDOM to GeT hIT bY aN ELDERLY WOMAN!!!! What's crazy is the party of freedom is about to create mass surveillance on us using AI. Oh the irony.
Its not due to short sightedness.its because most ppl in the positiins to pass these reqs are themselves over the age of 60. They arent going to pass a law that inconveniences themselves.
It's been 2 decades since they were installed and my parents are still complaining about round a bouts. Despite how massively traffic on those roads has grown. A 4 way stop ain't going to cut it 😂
A good indication of how much of a piece of shit a boomer is.. do they complain about roundabouts. Either they understand that things they haven't seen before might just be better than the old way, or they to reflexively hate anything different because they care more about not learning things than they do the safety of everyone around them. 😂
I legit heard my mom tell me that while you aren't supposed to stop on the crosswalk or after the white line at intersections, I failed my road test because of that, she doesn't stop properly because that wasn't a rule when she got her license.
@BladedAngelthat's before I tell you about pulling out of intersections. "It's a waste of time to look both ways when pulling forward, only look in the direction of oncoming traffic". I have experienced nearly getting hit by a car after the driver did exactly that. Multiple times. Like, my leg nearly touched the front headlight had I not jumped forwards to get out of the way. And it wasnt like I was hiding behind something to try and get hit, I was walking home from work and there wasnt even anything to hide behind.
@ashamane hey buddy. i followed every law. in denver, where i reside, you are supposed to YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS regardless of if they're jaywalking or not. i ALSO followed the traffic signals as they were given to me because i DON'T JAYWALK!!!!!! if you are not paying attention to the road, which is what both of those idiots were doing, you're going to inevitably NOT YIELD FOR PEDESTRIANS and HIT THEM, which is what nearly happened to me! both of those times was when i had THE RIGHT OF WAY. please think before you speak next time. you really seem like you need to do as such.
10:24 This is a real problem. I believe there was an 80 year old who crashed into an officer on his motorcycle who was escorting a funeral in my town. Turns out that officer was my coworker’s dad and they held a large funeral for him. This only happened a month ago and it was super tragic 😢
9:50 also you know how some older drivers are? My grandfather has been a purposefuly bad/aggressive driver FOREVER and its definitely worse now that hes 80 and still allowed to drive
I'm so glad I live in europe, I think stick shift filters out the worst drivers. Only dangerous situation I've been in was a drunk polish trucker swerving in front
Man I started driving in 2024 and every day I see either an old person nearly kill me or a bleached blonde middle aged women almost sideswipe me, maybe 1/6 bad drivers are the younger drivers I can't even drive to decompress now
18:24 In some instances, you can't walk there. You can get a ticket or be towed for leaving your car in a parking lot for a business you are not patronizing.
in some places, they don’t build sidewalks meaning in order to leave your property, you either have to trespass (illegal) or walk in the road (also illegal) It is a literal crime to leave your property unless you’re driving
@tacticallemon7518While I was a yungin I used to walk to school ignoring the... 'violent' dog after walking the the neighborhood, there was a forest area, without sidewalks, which means if I want to be safe I had to put my 5'7 11yo self into the bushes and make sure I don't get bit by some snake or spider. Infact, once I almost was. Why Atlanta... Why?
There have been PLENTY of proposals road way proposals that been shot down because many cities wanted no ties with other cities that associated with a group of people and politics. What's ironic is that they were forced to build connect with those cities to grow and develop. But when those outside people got in those areas, the locals relocate further out and the cycle repeats itself til this day. MARTA should've been the biggest Transit in the world hands down. Pure prejudice and ignorance is why there was better road way systems in Metro Atlanta Area
My whole family was nearly killed by a drunk driver who was driving on a suspended license in an unregistered car going double the posted speed limit. I stayed home from church with my older son because we were both sick, and 3 minutes from my house some maniac was trying to kill himself and the girl in his car (who had a dvo against him), he ran a red light and tboned my wife going over 100kmh. Miraculously, and I mean it's a miracle, my infant son who was on the side that got hit was 100% unscathed, and my wife had 2 fractures and pretty bad lacerations, but my mother wound up with around 30 fractures and won't be coming from for a few months. Police are still investigating, and I'm only sharing this to say don't play with people's lives, Had God not saved them (including the guy and the woman in the other car), all I would have left is my oldest. Try to remember to pray every time you go on the road, people don't wake up knowing they will die today, it's usually sudden and unexpected, and doesn't come when you're good and ready. Stay safe and Godspeed.
I swear the main issue with the bad driver epidemic is that the driving tests are too easy. Hell when I took my test when I was 16 all I had to do was drive down a road make a U turn drive through a neighborhood and then that was it. I didn’t even have to parallel park. Which is what I threaded the most.
The drivers causing the most problems are ones who blatantly disobey the most obvious rules of the road. Things that are so basic they are not even on a written exam, nor do I find it unreasonable that they are not because it is the type of shit that would make a driving test 1000 questions long.
This. I learned almost nothing from driving tests. My dad drove with me a lot, made me learn to counter-steer his truck in the snow. I literally drove a loop in the empty suburbs for my “test”. The driving tests need to be WAY harder. Manual transmission, packed environments, unpredictability on the road. If you can’t parallel park a manual in a city, ya shouldn’t have a license. I’m gen Z btw, drive a 97’ Camry. I meet so many people my age that would’ve totaled there cars 5x over if it weren’t for emergency breaking, blind spot indicators, and lanekeeping. They don’t even know the term “counter-steer”, and they live in a state with bad snow.
I've seen people behave like they are in such a rush to be somewhere at all costs. Being angry, aggressive, taking things so personally while driving. Being those things takes you out of awareness. Being on their phones or changing the station while sacrificing their attention and self awareness. The reports of fatal car accidents happen so much it becomes like static or "how it is". It has become a tragedy to put your desire to distract yourself before your actual flesh and blood. Lacking attention and awareness is no excuse to inflict pain on people and should never be a pass to absolve responsibility on the wrongdoer. Wake the hell up.
I think it’s the fact we bullied a lot of people who don’t want to drive to get there drivers license is the main cause but I’ll edit this after I watch the whole video
if more people felt comfortable taking public transport, and that public transport was reliable, i think less people would feel stressed to get their licenses. i was super uncomfortable getting mine at 24 but it’s not possible to say no if you want a job. bad drivers would still exist but it’s easier to convince people who would be on the fence that the cost savings/convenience is worth it (ie old people or ppl who work long shifts, like seriously think how many doctors/nurses/etc are out there on the back of a 12+ hr shift running on redbull barely sentient while on the highway…)
I think that a lot of it can be attributed to lower IQ levels, the other day I was a passenger and an acquaintance of mine was behind the wheel doing 87mph at night (streetlights were out) with his lights off (at best you could see 6 feet in front), when I told him to slow the fuck down he got pissy and told me "dude what's wrong I've driven this road before like 100 times" Low IQ people cannot fathom that road conditions vary across time
I once was driving along a river in thick fog at dusk. 2 lane highway. I could see 2-3 car lengths, going about 30mph. Someone appeared out of the fog and starts pressing me. They passed at 80mph on a straight and disappeared. 😮
10:28 the thing about testing old people is accurate. My mom was a safe and fairly careful driver but in her last few years she couldn’t handle things. She would just be spacing out driving down the road going from a 55 to 30 and she would still be going full speed and just have not paid any attention to the new speed limit. I was screaming at her to stop and she was yelling back at me because I was screaming at her and she would not slow down, I had to physically reach over and grab the wheel and lean over and stomp on the brake pedal with my own foot to get her to stop. After that I wouldn’t let her drive anymore.
@shwanmirza9306 no, no. That was the point which I took away her keys and drove her where she needed to go after that, till she passed. She was around 70 At the time and passed a few years later.
@turbopokey reminds me of my mom when she told me she started blacking out on the road for some years, practically forced her to go to the doctor to find that she had severe neural issues, and she was only middle aged then
I'm a wholly public transport person, but holy shit you're based af, actually the first car guy I know who cares about infrastructure and safety Massive respect bro keep spreading the sentiment
I’ve been directing traffic for 5 years in tourism HQ (Hawaii). The amount of people texting and driving is scary, someone yesterday had the gaul to argue with me when I gestured her to put her fucking phone down. Nobody even tries to hide it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no saint but it’s never come close to that level of stupidity. I have a million stories but one of two close calls was an old woman (shocker). The other, I shit you not, was distracted reading a novel. She was apologizing like crazy and I saw an open book on her lap. If a flagger sees that you’re on your phone instead of paying attention, they’ll skip your turn and keep you on stop. I train all my guys to punish those kinds of drivers.
I’ve almost had 4 people run into me the last 2 days. All people on the phone merging into my lane without checking. Scary since motorcycle season is coming up.
@joshuasalazar4316 Thats an empty Texan desert, I've driven there, it's flat as far as the eye can see. This isn't a top speed contest. These losers are going 108mph on a 65mph road in NOrth GA where the Highway has poor visibility due to all the constant ascending and descending. Speed is relative to the location too. It's like if some dude went 70mph in a school zone or bus stop (Like the 80yr lady) it's more than enough to be deadly....go ask those dead babies how 70mph isn't "actually that much tbh". It's all location, location, location.
People laugh when i say bring back locking someone in the town square and allowing bad harvests to be thrown at them
Bring back the pillory.
We need the stockades with tomatoes
No no, I'm ok with this. I've got some bananas that are going bad and need some kind of use.
Medieval Peasants were onto something.
Pillory
We need to go back to the days of zero distractive technology in vehicles. Just knobs, buttons, and analog gauges.
manual transmissions too
@roadrocket7770 Absolutamente I don't drive stick but I know how,,Auto is just convenient but with standard clutch 😀, No time to fumble with phone 📱 drink or eat burger 🍔😔.
Crank windows and manual transmissions are the way to go
Wouldn't matter. The _vast_ majority are distracted by their phone, not the radio, screen, or other tech in the car itself.
@ilijabosnjak76 There absolutely is time, manual isnt that attention taking. You just press pedal and change gear, its automatic once you drive for a bit. And besides, you arent shifting constantly
It’s always funny watching the generation that taught us “driving is a privilege, not a right” ditch that belief the second someone suggests that people who are too old to drive safely should get their license taken away.
who said this?
@LocalKeurigDid you never hear that phrase from your parents or your friends parents while growing up?
@LocalKeurig this is a common thing
It all depends on if they are old and still competent to drive or not.
Yea but alot of old people have no one and barely make enough to eat,I see some eating cat food and having to drive when they can barely see,it's crazy
I remember talking to a friend half a year ago and he make a great comment "man I remember when I would go driving to decompress and calm down, now every day I'm afraid I'm going to get killed by some dickhead on his phone."
I used to do this too when I got my first car. If I couldn't sleep I would drive around and try to figure out my area better, I share the same sentiment.
The other problem I have is the kind of cars I'm sharing the road with. Not only is it some douchenozzle on their phone, it's some douchenozzle on their phone at the helm of a 6,800 pound armored personnel carrier of a vehicle because little Tragedeigh needs to go to lacrosse practice.
@twotailedavengerThese folks are driving around in vehicles with a worse view of what's in front of them than modern tanks. I'd probably feel safer driving down the road next to an Abrams than I would some of these suburban assault vehicles.
@twotailedavenger Minivans, SUVs, full-size pickups, all too big and too tall. Vans aren't much better but at least the people driving them actually need them.
That's me. I used to not mind living far from my job because I enjoyed driving. But after getting my car hit 3 times in 1 year on the same road every time, I decided to move closer to my job so that I have to drive the least amount that I have to.
People treat cars like the internet. They think there invincible and can do whatever they want, and there will be zero consequences. Then when there are consequences there shocked and surprised by it.
I used to work as a porter at a place that hired elderly people. I near got hit multiple times by a coworker that was in his 70s. When I chewed him out, his retort was, "I've been driving longer than you've been alive." and straight to his face I told him, "YES, THAT THE PROBLEM."
Honestly I'd tolerate all the crashes and fatalities if they'd just be humble and act responsible about it. "I'm so sorry for what I've done; I can't ever make up for it but I ask your forgiveness anyway". NOPE instead it's always "Don't tell me what to do" or "It just happened, don't ask me". Disgusting.
@iridescentsea3730bingo. I had this happen just earlier today. Old lady straight up almost rammed me off the side of the road and into a light pole. I followed her to her parking lot because she nearly fucking killed me. I approach her and she got angry at me because I honked my horn at her. Tried explaining “you almost killed me” and of all things she defends herself with “I’ve been driving longer than you’ve been alive, I know what I’m doing, and you need to be more careful!” Even though if I was just a shred less careful she’d be shitting her pants wondering how she’d be covering my medical bills and cost of a new car. Unfortunately a lot of these idiots won’t change a single thing about their habits unless they kill somebody AND face the consequences. A rare combo with our justice system. We’ve never lived in such an enabling system that allows pure inadequacy to seep through the cracks at such a volume as it does. Though I suppose that’s what happens when incompetent boomers and silent gen folks are the ones making the laws.
I love you
@iridescentsea3730well they’ve been adults for 50 years. They don’t want to lose their privileges even if their mental state has declined
My old boss bought his daughter 3 luxury SUVs by 19 cuz she totaled them all 😂😂
Last accident she injured a pregnant woman... Finally my boss started talking about not letting her drive 😂😂 but I don't think he ever followed thru...
I got like 3-5 elderly neighbors who need to surrender their licenses
I love that you are a car enthusiast that proves that just because someone’s enthusiast doesn’t mean they have to be in the cult of societal car dependency.
It’s nice to hear people who aren’t ignorant to the issues of it that AREN’T anti-car full stop.
Well duh if we get people who dont wanna drive out of cars and into buses or trains its easier for the rest of us to enjoy driving
@s@somedude9934hank you! nobody ever seems to realize this. At least not online.
@somedude9934 the Netherlands is supposedly one of the best countries in the world to enjoy driving in for this very reason. Everyone who doesn't really care for driving, can take the train, or even cycle on the countrywide network of bicycle highways.
Many of the things improving stuff for non car users can make driving in cities harder, since unlike the US you simply can't drive everywhere. But the highway/countryside was always more enjoyable than city traffic anyways.
One thing that I noticed is if you mention the idea of fixing poor/nonexistent alternatives to most people that complain about traffic, they deflect to “but then there’s less road for cars and it will get worse!” The truth is that if you give people reasonably safe alternatives, including ensuring that downtown areas are walkable, you’ll create space for cars by removing people that don’t want to and/or can’t reasonably afford to drive from the road. Traffic-based city planners DON’T want to do this because doing a good job means that they don’t get called back, but doing a sufficiently suboptimal job guarantees that they’ll be needed again.
I’m glad that I can’t afford a car, not because I don’t want to drive or leave the area but because I see how scary other drivers are daily on my walk to and home from work.
"car dependentcy" have you seen those nyc metro videos
Wait until Gen Alpha gets behind the wheel with the attention of a goldfish
Oh God, please no. I can only pray 100% of them will feel entitled to their millennial parents chauffeuring them around forever.
That's disrespectful towards goldfish.
Theyre gonna unbuckle their seatbelts on the highway so they can lean forward and try to swipe the windshield to change the background to something they like better
See you in the nursing home unc
They already have 50hp+ e-bikes.
I was a firefighter from 2017 to 2021 and to this day can’t wrap my head around how we responded to more vehicle accidents in 2019 and 20 DURING SHUTDOWNS than years prior
1 Learn how Yields work
2 zipper merge
3 use ya blinkaaa!
4 don’t weave
5 use ya blinkaaa!!
6. Drive in the right most lane on the highway at all times. If you're not overtaking, move over!
This also has the added benefit of not being able to pass on the right.
Use ya blinka again just for good measure, theres some bmw owners out there
The amount of people who treat yields as stop signs is astonishing.
I don't know, I think I'm forgetting to do something when crossing a lane. What was I supposed to do again before moving over a lane?
@andychen667the amount of people who ignore yields and fail to get up to speed despite oncoming traffic is also astonishing.
One of the main problems is that tests in the us r just way too easy to pass. Its genuinely ridiculous
i got a zero in the eye test and i still got a permit , i ultimately decided to not risk everyone else's life for my convince but its crazy i was ever allowed.
Dawg we got easy tests and people still need 3+ tries to pass 😭. What's worse is that there a lot of undocumented immigrants driving without licenses, and in Minnesota they passed a law that allows anyone to obtain a license if they pass the written and practical tests. They still fail up to 5 times and they've been driving for years to decades
@My_name-is_Skylar_White_yothank you for being a responsible human. Genuinely, some people way less smart than you get themselves pets only to set them out in the wild when they go on vacation or some shit.
My driving test was driving in a closed parking lot. The only "road" driving I had to do was at the DMV, i had to exit the parking lot into a turn lane that lasted maybe 200 feet, and the turn lane turned back into the dmv.
you dont even go on the highway for the test yet we expect new drivers to understand how to drive on the interstate
Where I live, they started adding traffic lights to roundabouts. When you think city planning couldn't get any dumber.
i would love to watch a traffic cam feed of this nightmare
How much do you wanna bet that was implemented by some uneducated government official overriding the advice of an actual civil engineer
The roundabouts themselves are unforgiveable, let alone adding more controls to an already stupid control
@fifi9648 i'd take that bet.
@jong2359 Roundabouts are fantastic, and much better than 4 way stops or traffic lights. All you have to do is yield to traffic already in the roundabout, otherwise you don't even have to stop.
The other day someone merged into my lane without using a blinker, almost hitting me as I was passing and then they have the audacity to get mad at me despite them being the one in the wrong by honking and turning on their high beams while we were driving through a snowstorm. All I can say is, I hope they meet someone with nothing to lose on the road one day.
Low-key my biggest issue is that on top of being dumb, they're impatient. So many of the mistakes I see here in the Midwest is because someone was impatient
Impatience is out of control in general tbh
In my neighborhood, idiots will honk at people turning into their driveways.
lets flip this dichotomy: maybe there are alot of really grating bad drivers, which are triggering other bad drivers to be impatient? I am one of these impatient drivers (no accidents in 15 years), and I would point out that I get impatient when people go 10 miles under on the highway, cant pick a lane, signaling only after they have initiated a maneuver, going the speed of the terrain rather than the speed of the road (dont ride your breaks because youre on a hill, thats causing vibratory patterns backwards into traffick, increasing risks)
there are just many many many many atupid and selfish drivers who hide behind "im safe!" when they are actually a road hazard, causing people to become more impatient every day due to their tepid driving patterns.
the roads are dangerous. if you cant handle it, dont drive!!! you should be criminally punished for being a road hazard, just as badly as if you had caused an accident. its preemptive maintenance, engineers understand.
In the northeast i got passed by an suv while entering the i90 after a toll booth. That tenth of a mile between toll boith and onramp they almost plowed themselves into the concrete divider just because i was following the speed limit.
@DavidSmith-cr7mb same here- the level of pure frustration I get approaching one of the multitude of roundabouts in our city _THAT HAVE BEEN HERE +8 YEARS NOW_ and these idiots have zero ability to anticipate, understand the concept of yield (NOT STOP) exiting, and maintaining a safe distance is absolutely criminal. If you’re that terrified by a roundabout please either learn how they work or avoid at all costs.

@BladedAngel but, Bladed, where is the Miata?
my favorite comment on his insta was "get him a coloring book so he can learn to stay inside the lines."
@BladedAngelmy dad when he was a teenager hit 250kph on the Queensland highway
“We’re flexing the bare minimum now?”
I mean, we spent years not flexing waking up without Polio and look where we are now…
Just saying the phrase "I don't know how to use a roundabout" should get your license revoked
Remember motorcycle package delivery use cell phone as gps tracker on Google and created more accident
I know how roundabouts work, but I'm afraid of them because of the mfs that don't know how to fucking drive.
Or the one I still hear to this day "I don't like roundabouts because they're stupid".
at least I have an excuse bc I'm still learning to drive & I actually WANT to learn
With the caveat that different countries have different rules for roundabouts.
I’ve always been a fan of testing older people over 70 for drivers license’s yearly tbh
Start that shit at 60!
Start when they start driving, yearly testing for everyone would genuinely help so much with this shit
Good luck, theyre in congress too
I think every 5 after 60 Is fair, or maybe just every 10 for 16+
Everyone should be tested yearly, and I would include myself in that
the amount of people in my neighborhood that I see blatantly zooming past stop signs is insane.
Charge them $400 dollars + 12 hours of their hourly wage and see how suddenly they know to read a stop sign.
They don't even check the light crosswalk for the pedestrian. Like they ready to murder someone trying to cross the road and having the right to do so, because of the light.
You have the option to leave caltrops and nails
I’ve seen 3 people do that on neighborhood roads where the speed limit is 30. Fucking flooring it and blazing past stop signs like a jackass.
@clamheaven nah mate, community service will do the trick.
She killed a family of 4 😭 WHAT THE FUCK
Last year, I had an 80-year-old guy turn left in front of me, totaling both cars. What he told the cop? "I just couldn't wait any longer" like bro
fucker has been alive for almost a century and couldn't wait 10 seconds for the road to be clear
sad part is people like these get to keep their license and never learn
Last year a 71 year old church lady ran the yellow left turn arrow when I had the green. She told the police she had the green light. Said she was late for a church meeting. Good thing I had dashcam but instead of the cop looking at it, he told the old lady she better change her story. Lmao.
he has a point tho😂
@justthere845guess his wait is even longer now
Green: go
Yellow: FLOOR IT
Red: just a suggestion
You’re wrong
Green: wait till it turns yellow
Yellow: slowly go forward to maximize the people that get stuck behind the upcoming red light
@tylermcflyer3061 Red = Go. Yellow = Go faster. Red = Just two more cars.
Green: Slow
Yellow: Stop/Run it
Red: Duhhhrrrrr
Loool floor it, i read it with gla voice 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget the ever annoying
Red: pull out phone and miss the light turning green until the people behind you start honking
As someone who works on a parking lot… calculate the 3 dumbest things any moving car will do, and they might surprise you with a fourth.
Yea i saw someone near me had their car wedged sideways between two parked cars, like the car was on its side stuck between them. no godawful clue what went on there
I use a minibus to get to school everyday, and EVERY SINGLE TIME there's always drivers around us on their phones, parking in open roads, cutting us off, and whenever the bus driver points them out, the idiots in those cars either look confused af or go full road rage mode.
It genuinely confuses me how some people manage to get a drivers license when they can't even realise where they're parking is blocking a whole route.
Hahahahaha. You ride the shortbus
The fuck bro? I betted my entire life savings that you weren’t going to upload another car video ever again cause you said so! You owe me 50 cents (thats my life savings)
You could've almost sold your own soul... for 62 cents!
Was looking for this exact comment xD
Thank you

SEND ANOTHER 6 TRILLION TO ISRAEL!!!!!!
Over the last couple days, I've counted 4+ people a day driving with their brights on. I don't mean those super bright LED bullshit, but people with regular ass headlights running around with highbeams
YES, it's very annoying.
I see that stuff regularly. + where I live we get a lot of snow & ice. Literally any single time weather happens peoples driving skills drop by 120% its mind blowing
Hell, I see so many people with no lights on during 5am dark thirty traffic.
Almost every time I drive at night there's at least one crayon license that can't remember to turn their headlight on at night. If you can't make sure your headlights are on at NIGHT you should NOT have a driver's license.
@4markieAnd the sheer audacity for them to get angry when you flash at them to try to bring to their attention that their damn lights aren't even switched on.
In Switzerland and Europe a drivers license cost around 2000-4000 chf/euros.
We study, and learn how to drive. In america getting a drivers license is a complete joke.
The hard part is the absolute nessecity of a car in the US compared to Europe in Europe there us a lot of public transport and distences are a lot smaller case in the point of the family that are not local the absolute cliest is 3 amd a half hours away and that is pure distence traffic is a non issue u t the last like 30 mi uses or so and if you time it right you can avoid it. After tgat the next closest is 10 hours so its either spending like $700 on a plane ticket and $300 on a rental car anyway because to get anywhere in a reasonable time frame you still need one.
You people can probably go your whole life without having to drive, i can’t walk to the gas station without nearly getting hit because there are zero sidewalks. They lobbied for cars, not for good drivers.
I used to think, "No, we don't need to gatekeep. We can be more inclusive." But now I think, "The passion that is cars must be gatekept, at all costs."
You'll think the same about democracy before long. Some people are just not capable of directing their own lives, man.
It's called character development + unpredictable clout culture. I wonder what timeline we'd be in if Harambe didn't die and COVID didn't happen....
If you limit all options but driving, idiots will drive
@Demopans5990 They have no other choice but to drive.
@nowiecoche thats exactly what they said
I still maintain that Jack Doherty wrecked his McLaren on purpose “for the content”.
Of course Jack DoDo did that.
A pilot once wrecked his plane for content and he lost his license for that. Hope he got similar punishment
@aslamnurfikri7640 I'm not aware of any punishment he received. But I don't give him clicks or follow him by any means. I just saw it through passing.
Crazy how it sent his career spiraling afterwards. People admire supercar owners to imprint onto them. But when they see someone wreck it, it breaks the illusion of a rich successful dude and made him look like the clown he is. He created his own Canon Event and can't take responsibility for it lmao.
@aslamnurfikri7640 Oh shit, I remember that loser. Ppl will do ANYTHING for content. Not even insurance fraud lol, just views....
Roundabouts are the easiest intersection to navigate you only need to worry about traffic to your left
Not always i saw a guy get hit on the right because of a dipsit not using it right
@domiccibut the guy didnt pay attention to his left
Another thing I noticed about roundabouts - at least in Arizona - is that hardly anyone uses their signals in one even though you’re supposed to use them like you would at a traditional intersection.
@captainmappy3959 it sucks but it's not a dealbreaker, you can drive on them w/o indicators
Not exactly. You can be on the inside of a 2 lane roundabout and go to exit but be hit by someone on the outer (right) lane who is also supposed to exit but tries to keep going around the circle. The outer lane must take the first available exit
I ride a motorcycle. The focus it takes to avoid dying from bad drivers is crazy...
got my license at 17, currently 18. iv never heard of a diverging diamond, and on my test i asked about roundabouts and they told me word for word “those are not too important, we dont test those”. and big shocker, my first time on a roundabout i almost caused an accident.
Do you know now? It’s just a yield to those already in the roundabout. More specifically, I yield to those who are on the nearest 120-150° to me within the circle. If you’re continuing straight through the roundabout, no blinkers. If you’re entering the roundabout from one road and ending up on another road, blinker before entering to signal which road just like a stop sign. This gives a heads up to the other ways of entering the roundabout which way you will be exiting the roundabout, helping them predict your movements and making the flow smoother.
@nickthompson1812 yes iv taken the time to learn since
Happened to me to on my first roundabout
So why aren’t kids fucking looking up how one works before ignorantly using one. Do they not care about others? Why does getting your license matter more than knowing all you CAN learn about the roads you would soon travel.
@Zythryl i have gang. im not tryna excuse it im just saying they dont test us on those kinds of roads/intersections at all. calm down yeesh
the fact these people are killing others and not themselves in the accidents just reinforces the awful young people mindset of "it wont happen to me"
It really pisses me off that 80% of the time these people survive with barely any injuries while the victims have to go to the hospital fighting to stay alive
@MegaM1021and even if the victims die usually the driver just gets a slap on the wrist an a wag of the finger from the judge saying “please don’t do this again PLEASE!” Even if they’ve got 20 previous vehicular homicide charges on their record… doesn’t matter.
Yeah, they brag about how safe cars are now... while killing people
Take these safely features out. It's time we made stupidity lethal again
@KDG702 Or worse, also had intoxication.
In my home town, a ninety year old went on the wrong side of the freeway, crashed into an suv. 3 people died. The ninety year old, and the two people in the front of the SUV.
A lot of old people live in that town, I’ve had a few near misses because of them.
I understand that it sucks to lose that independence, because of how car centric the US is, and wish that public transportation was better so don’t have to drive. It doesn’t justify that it’s actively risking people that are way younger than them lives.
Public transportation needs to be funded. So people that don’t want to drive/ or shouldn’t drive have a better option.
EXACTLY and getting old and having to rely on other people (taking public transportation in this case) shouldn't be seen as a negative thing, i've seen so many old people refuse to acknowledge that they need help and can't be as independent as they used to be, either because they don't want to be a burden or because they look down on people who need assistance and don't want to be one of those people. and I think that stubbornness could be part of why they want to keep driving themselves, along with the lack of good public transportation
Actually, the lack of walk ways, bike lanes and public transportation is the only thing that justifies unfit and old people to drive around. The period when an old person is not fit to drive an SUV but is still able to walk or us a tri-cyckle can be more than 20 years. You can't expect them to stay at home or call an uber every day.
@atlasz911beats being dead because you crashed a car you couldn't control
@will-zj5gq I'm not saying that it's right. The missing infrastructure needs to be built. 16 years old kids have also no business driving a 2+ tons monster on public roads.
The lack of walkways, bike lanes, and public transportation is a feature in lots of areas. Keeps out the urban youth.
17:54 when I was a wee lad I lived in the very end of a closed off neighborhood and there was a dead end that was originally meant to connect the back end of the neighborhood to the main road through a relatively small section of woodlands. Later as I got older I found out reason it was never connected to the main road was because an ecological survey found that the small wooded area was actually a habitat for an endangered species of salamanders, and also contained a fair few endangered plant species like Jack-in-the-pulpits. So sometimes there is a reason why an inconvenience exists, while other times there might not be a reason and it is indeed an oversight.
Coming up to my 60th this year, I'm also an ex trainee Driving Instructor, I firmly believe in retests every ten years through your driving career and every five after 60.
Honestly I think we need to actually crack down on bad driving. Not just with tests but like actually pull over bad drivers.
A few years ago I was nearly run over in front of a cop by this guy blowing through a solid red light.
Did the cop go after him? No. Didn’t even ask if I was ok as I started to panic that I was nearly killed. And I know there weren’t any traffic cameras there as the state didn’t allow them.
But by not pulling people over the state can claim that their roads are safer when they just aren’t controlled at all.
Every ten sounds too long! I'd shorten that to five. Boosts the confidence of good drivers to pass the test every five! 😁
I think traffic violations should be easier for cops to report. I think most of the incidents are ignored because of the cop simply doesn't want to overload themselves with the paperwork. If it was easier for them, they may be more willing to catch more in the act.
There's a guy in my neighborhood who never uses his turn signal and road rages every time someone coming from the other direction cuts him off when he wants to turn left at a stop sign.
is he black
I wonder when he'll realize he's the problem. Probably never.
Plot twist. He is using his signal. But it doesn’t work and he hasn’t figured it out yet xD
Ram him. He'll lose in court due to not signaling
@hurricanefury439if he got to the stop sign first I think it’s still your fault lol
One of main problems it seems is some divers seem to treat traffic laws as just some _"mere suggestions"_ whenever they're in a hurry.
Fr I see it ALL the time it's crazy.
Ironically, in places like India where traffic laws and sometimes even getting a driver's license is actually a suggestion, the drivers are significantly better than US drivers. I guess it's because they have to pay attention all the time compared to here where the drivers used to be more predictable.
Could be worse: ignorant of said laws.
@ViviSectia considering it is mostly twists and turns plus you will be driving in tight spaces that can only fit one car and mere inches as a curb side for any pedestrians as well in india so indians could tend to be better drivers but obvious it depends on one's skill level
Well yeah, because divers live underwater, it's the drivers we need to worry about.
Public transportation would fix basically everything btw. But car companies dont want that to happen
I been driving since 19 and the older i get the more defensive I have to drive now. It’s dangerous out here.
As someone who's 22 and hasn't driven anything except my uncle's Jeep to get a feel for it, I have things about myself that make me dread getting a license or permit. Especially when it a case of drunken idiots behind the wheel that killed my dad the day before Christmas Eve.
@bounteousninegaming8586 my biggest motivator to take the bus and train is the Kelly blue book value of a honda crv.
I've been driving since I was 15 and honestly same
@lincolntard424Walking whenever possible works too.
Not to be rude but everyone should drive defensively in the first place!
And two they’re making regular traffic cars way too fast nowadays. Soccer moms and office Tom’s don’t need all of that acceleration.
I agree, but i think thats more of a symptom of better engine tech than intentional design, engines havent gotten any bigger in the last 20 years, but better designed, so greater power output and efficency. My 20 year old lincoln mkz has a 0-60 of 8 sec cause its engine was decently high performance for the time. Now, a 6000 pound suv can do that, which is honestly scary from a simple physics POV
Absolute Facts. 300-400HP used to mean something. Now 2020 Commuter cars make 2010s Sports Car Power, but for people who aren't used to driving Sports Cars. Definitely why that 80yr lady crashed.
She probably was used to commuters having 120hp like they used to, so she's foot to the flooring it around town not realizing she's a cruise missile now....
@BladedAngelnah rest if the world largely still drives around 200 hp cars.
It’s an American problem
@forceawakens4449i mean, the newer mkz with the twin turbo has 400hp. Honestly, what is going on.
That's what the rev limiter is for, but it doesn't too well.
9:12 I'm heartbroken and I don't even know these people man look at their faces, they're gone. Wtf bro like what can we even do.
I used to have respect and give space for semis but lately I've seen so many that can't keep in their lane that I actively avoid them.
Omg the truck drivers now day is a whole issue in itself
The amount of SEMI trucks who DONT use their blinkers to slide over to pass another truck has gone up significantly.
In heavy traffic btw
Or driving 90 on the highway passing each other like theyre racing like wtf????
My best friend drove long-haul for a while and had to do an entire month-long training program with an extremely difficult, no-room-for-error final exam to get his cert. He's a really good driver so he passed with flying colors on his second attempt (failed the first bc he accidentally nudged a curb at the end but did perfect otherwise). Pisses both of us off to no end seeing other semitruck drivers drive stupidly, just knowing how much training/how perfect you need to be to even GET a long-haul cert in the first place.
also fun fact for anyone who isn't aware, most u-haul/penske trucks do NOT require a CDL to rent/drive, so if you're already nervous about driving near trucks then be EXTRA careful around those, because you have no way of knowing if there's actually a professional behind the wheel or not.
@Meowthiroth thank you and your friend for doing it right and caring about your job and the others on the road.
the retesting for elderly people is such a good point. im on the road watching some of these people. i think up to 1/3 of elderly drivers have debilitating eyesight or hearing issues.
Its also modern technology filled cars with steering racks and other things that make the driver feel safe even when everything is about to go wrong.
I think you mean steering assists?
Because you couldn't steer without a steering rack or a similar mechanism
@Birb_of_Judge I am referring to numb steering racks
Yea I can't relate I'm to broke for a modern car and I'm not going to sell my soul for one. Still rocking my 08 mazda 3 as a daily only thing it has is abs and dogwater raceland coilovers 😂
@TheWeavingBagelIt's also in part due to Electric Power Steering. Many systems have heavy amounts of assistance, which is part of why they feel numb.
@TheWeavingBagel what’s that?
As a gen z.
I legit don't have a license for this EXACT reason. I don't trust myself ngl
It’s very scary to be driving something that has the capability to destroy someone’s life but just pay attention to your surroundings and study the laws of the road and you’ll be okay
It’s not that hard lol
Yikes, on behalf of everyone dont leave your parents house.
@Crazy_Broke_Asian Although, the license being so easy is part of the problem of why the drivers are increasingly terrible.
We desperately need to make it harder to get your license, harder to keep your license, and/or raise the minimum driving age. Half the people I know have been involved in accidents. I spent a full year restoring my RX-7, just for it to be totaled when some idiot decided to run a flashing yellow left turn light when I had a solid green. His dad YELLED at the police officer on scene that "Flashing yellow means I have the right away". Drivers really are getting stupider. He got 0 repercussions, by the way, aside from his insurance needing to pay me out (as much as they FOUGHT to only give me $4k instead of the $12k my FC was worth)
1/3 the value, fuck insurance companies so hard
@gahbah274 It was honestly worth more, but my insurance coverage at the time was only for $12k since that's what the agreed upon value was when I bought it. Could've probably gotten $20k if I updated it with my company. I had Hagerty though, so they gave me $12k, then forced Progressive (the at fault insurance) to reimburse them without affecting my rates
Drnk drivers who kill people get into less trouble than someone who accidentally missed $400 in taxes 8 years ago. This country is broken.
You literally named the problem but think the solution is punishing legal safe drivers?
How about courts and cops actually doing their job? And not making it harder for the avg person to get and keep the license
@Drewcardelloexactly. Maybe if we punished the people who did bad things, bad things would be attempted less. But no. Now days people do dumb shit because there’s a 90% chance nothing will happen to them
some guy sideswiped my mint 96 corvette and just didn't stop.
I've never been a road rager, but that'd make me one REAL QUICK
RIP bro, hope you're okay. How's the car then?
Damage Its not too bad but its going to probably cost in the 2-3k range. I care more about how its going to match the old paint then the cost.
@basiliskbro4078 for 2-3k i wouldn't worry about the paint, check that shit up and down for any leftovers. Got a stiff bill for the same price on a little door ding that insurance paid for, and the mf's didn't even finish fixing part of the dent.
@ashamane You are so right about the paint comment, that's the first thing I thought about lmao.
They literaly put video advertisements on the back of semitrucks now.
Really?
Ive only seen the elaborate light shows they have but it wouldn't surprise me at all
My ongoing terror scenario occurs more often as Gen Alpha gets closer to filling our highways. They don't recognise their own Names when written, They cannot Read, They cannot follow a plot .... and this is just the beginning of their generation's lack of human incompatibility .
I work at a carwash. you'd be amazed on how many people don't know how to read simple directions and put their car in neutral. It terrifies me that I drive with those people on the road. They're always on their phone doing anything but driving.
Same and fully agreed-the number of people who inch up to the belt just to floor it once they fiiinaaalllyyy reach it is absurd. Like do they not know all you have to do is bump the shifter/knob/whatever tf they have without even braking to put it in N??
There was this one driver that broke the entire carwash. The reason he drove through the self wash with a ladder
Finally someone else said it
6:46 4.7 Earthquake.
😂
Missed a couple zeros there fam
7.4*
Nah dude's power to weight ratio got him caught. Should've been got rid of that. No 4 cylinder has the torque for that. 😂😂
The decline of the normal sedan/hatchback, the extreme rise of crossovers and SUV’s more bland than Great Value White Bread, bad and/or distracted drivers now littering the roads, and both used car prices and manual-equipped car prices way more than they should be make for one big pot of Enthusiast Hell Soup.
You’d expect people would be driving better with the safety stuff that comes in cars now, but I’ve seen people literally stare at the lane departure warning yelling at them for not using turn signals like they were watching cocomelon.
In awe that, in spite of my daily having blind spot monitors and a rear view cam, I still use the mirrors and turn my head to fully view my surroundings as if those safety features didn’t exist. It’s a basic driving requirement to be able to view and act based on your surroundings, but now there’s this dumb expectation from both new and existing NPC drivers that their appliance car should do the work for them.
It’s insanity.
I assume the standards of drivers are shit as well.. given that you have immigrants over there but those are probably all deported by now lmao
It's truly fascinating how bad it is over there but here in Iran, even tho stick is everywhere, some just can't be aware of their fucking surrounding and cut you off and park their car in the middle of the fucking road when you just go to a main street (happened to me once and it honestly baffling)
Atleast we have hatches and compact sedans. Tho the Chinese SUV craze is on the rise.. tho they will never go away due to our economic situation
People see there car has a feature and act like they don't have to do the basic parts of driving anymore. Blind spot warning is not so you dont have to check your blind spots, its incase you checked your blind spot and missed something. Automatic emergency braking is not there so you can stare at your phone and hope the car stops. Lane keep assist is not so you can stare at your phone and hope you stay on the road. It ALWAYS comes back to people doing anything BUT driving when they are behind the wheel.
i remember one time i had my dad in my car with me and he said to me "jUsT uSe tHe BaCkUp CaMeRa" when using that In conjunction with using my mirrors and head
don't hate on great value white bread 😤😤
People don't seem to understand that I'm driving a big heavy cargo vehicle weighing more than most of their trucks and SUVs, with thousands upon thousands of dollars of merchandise onboard. And that I'm constantly being monitored. So they tailgate, they cut in way too close, etc.
10:52
There is an Asian joke, a female joke, an elderly joke, and a bad driver joke all in one right there.
You can call me racist all you want, stereotypes are funny, they all just so happen to involve a bad driver turned killer.
my math teacher got hit by a 80-90 yo driver who ran a red light (i dont remember his age), the driver ran over my tachers legs. both legs broke and his spine was injured, so he wasnt able to walk for like really long time and still has truble walking to this day. but guess what happend to the driver? NOTHING they just let him go. (this happend like 2 years ago i think)
(also the driver was in a rental car, but there was no significant damage i think) (also also, this happened in the eu btw...)
FUck..........
Boomers...fuck 'em. If a young driver did that he'd be picking soap in prison right now.
@mikegamikegathat would not be an excuse 😊
@mikegamikegaIf the old guy was having a medical emergency, there's this cool new invention that not only allows someone to drive you to the hospital, but can even treat you on the way with a simple phone call, I just wish I could remember the number to 911 to call them in an emergency.
@kellyalger2394you can't control if and when you get a heart attack, it happens to some people while driving, I'm guessing that's what was meant here
3:32 anything but metric
lmao i used to be on an FB group back in the day that posted the absurdity of how we measure things. "It's 2 football fields"
BUt it does say 30 METERS above the Blue Whale to be fair.
Who cares? Even for me, it's ridiculous to use cheeseburgers as a measurement, but the reason why everyday things are used is to give you a sense of scale.
Blue whales are my preferred measurement. How can you not want to measure stuff in one of the greatest ocean creatures to ever bless us with its existence.
Wompwomp
Ameri-Khan from Paladins: "Screw the metric system!"
And many people complain why insurance rates are skyrocketing. These people don’t make our situation better with the way they act on roads. And now we all have to deal with insurance companies charging us some insanely high premiums.
Yep jaywalking was our things in Mindanao Philippines. In my location we don't have stop light and huge highway. Jay walk was opinional but the cars its FAST AS 50MPH so becareful crossing the road
12:59 the fact that I can no longer count on two hands, the amount of overturned vehicles and semi trucks I’ve seen on roundabouts on my daily commute to work, proves this point.
Dude. I’ve been a trucker since sept 2014. I’m right at a million miles and holy shit man. It’s bad dude. I legit cannot get on the road and not crash out atleast once from other peoples stupidity. Terrible man.
2:21 If you didn’t know this dude here claimed it was the other guys fault. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤬🤬🤬🤬
WHATTTTTT??????? NAHHHHHHHHH. ACTUAL MAIN CHAR SYNDROME CLOWN. They deserve everything that's happening to them then.
Unlucky for them, we live in a world of cameras and we can see his MF Car run that red....
@BladedAngeli learn driving responsibly from just ETS2 and ATS (with car mods duh) and it feels relaxing driving
back when i was younger i always looked how people drive responsibly
Vince McMahon has a very long history of bad and reckless driving so I wasn’t surprised.
19:21 I swear to fuck they probably drove KIA’s and Hyundai as well
9:39 they don't retest you in America? jesus christ that is short sighted af
_Literally short sighted_ But yeah it's not mandated in all states. Some states do mandate it, but since people can easily drive over state borders, People who would fail the exam who shouldn't be on the road can still cheese the system that way.
We really need better public transport in america old and even people with duis will risk driving just because they don't have many other options all thanks to the oil and car lobby bribes
Whenever a state or local government in the US tries to enforce reasonable driving laws, you end up having an endless number of braindead morons acting like their first amendment rights have been taken away.
@analienmango8756 bUT mUH FREEDOM to GeT hIT bY aN ELDERLY WOMAN!!!! What's crazy is the party of freedom is about to create mass surveillance on us using AI. Oh the irony.
Its not due to short sightedness.its because most ppl in the positiins to pass these reqs are themselves over the age of 60. They arent going to pass a law that inconveniences themselves.
It's been 2 decades since they were installed and my parents are still complaining about round a bouts. Despite how massively traffic on those roads has grown. A 4 way stop ain't going to cut it 😂
A good indication of how much of a piece of shit a boomer is.. do they complain about roundabouts. Either they understand that things they haven't seen before might just be better than the old way, or they to reflexively hate anything different because they care more about not learning things than they do the safety of everyone around them. 😂
@nts9211Next they die. Rinse and repeat.
I legit heard my mom tell me that while you aren't supposed to stop on the crosswalk or after the white line at intersections, I failed my road test because of that, she doesn't stop properly because that wasn't a rule when she got her license.
Your mom is a menace to society holyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
@BladedAngelthat's before I tell you about pulling out of intersections. "It's a waste of time to look both ways when pulling forward, only look in the direction of oncoming traffic".
I have experienced nearly getting hit by a car after the driver did exactly that. Multiple times. Like, my leg nearly touched the front headlight had I not jumped forwards to get out of the way. And it wasnt like I was hiding behind something to try and get hit, I was walking home from work and there wasnt even anything to hide behind.
sheesh man!
14:35 All fun till the guy In front treats the yield sign like a stop sign at an empty roundabout 🙃
funny this came out the same day i nearly got hit by 2 different drivers within 10 minutes of each other as a pedestrian
@ashamane hey buddy. i followed every law. in denver, where i reside, you are supposed to YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS regardless of if they're jaywalking or not. i ALSO followed the traffic signals as they were given to me because i DON'T JAYWALK!!!!!! if you are not paying attention to the road, which is what both of those idiots were doing, you're going to inevitably NOT YIELD FOR PEDESTRIANS and HIT THEM, which is what nearly happened to me!
both of those times was when i had THE RIGHT OF WAY. please think before you speak next time. you really seem like you need to do as such.
10:24 This is a real problem. I believe there was an 80 year old who crashed into an officer on his motorcycle who was escorting a funeral in my town. Turns out that officer was my coworker’s dad and they held a large funeral for him. This only happened a month ago and it was super tragic 😢
12:40 the way we let old people just lie and say "well thats ok"
Exactly why I'm selling my motorcycle. As a husband and father, it simply isn't worth it.
9:50 also you know how some older drivers are? My grandfather has been a purposefuly bad/aggressive driver FOREVER and its definitely worse now that hes 80 and still allowed to drive
The genius drivers cut you off to go to the right or left lane despite having no cars behind you
Get out of the left lane
I'm so glad I live in europe, I think stick shift filters out the worst drivers.
Only dangerous situation I've been in was a drunk polish trucker swerving in front
Man I started driving in 2024 and every day I see either an old person nearly kill me or a bleached blonde middle aged women almost sideswipe me, maybe 1/6 bad drivers are the younger drivers
I can't even drive to decompress now
10:00 as a 40 year old man I agree completely. When I have to, I will hang up the keys without anybody asking.
18:24 In some instances, you can't walk there. You can get a ticket or be towed for leaving your car in a parking lot for a business you are not patronizing.
in some places, they don’t build sidewalks
meaning in order to leave your property, you either have to trespass (illegal) or walk in the road (also illegal)
It is a literal crime to leave your property unless you’re driving
@tacticallemon7518While I was a yungin I used to walk to school ignoring the... 'violent' dog after walking the the neighborhood, there was a forest area, without sidewalks, which means if I want to be safe I had to put my 5'7 11yo self into the bushes and make sure I don't get bit by some snake or spider. Infact, once I almost was.
Why Atlanta... Why?
Wouldnt be as bad if we had actual transit to get around instead.
7:16 O-M-G! THIS shown that is NOT blind turn, that is blind only for guy with two poked-out eyes! 😲
I always assumed older cars only had knobs because of regulation as a kid, totally horrified when i started seeing giant tv screens replace them
The general consumer likes big screens on cars, i like it too coming from a person that has only owned german and Japanese 💩 boxes
Atlanta feels like a small town road layout that decided to build skyscrapers and apartment complexes
Driving is downtown Atlanta is fucking awful
There have been PLENTY of proposals road way proposals that been shot down because many cities wanted no ties with other cities that associated with a group of people and politics.
What's ironic is that they were forced to build connect with those cities to grow and develop. But when those outside people got in those areas, the locals relocate further out and the cycle repeats itself til this day.
MARTA should've been the biggest Transit in the world hands down. Pure prejudice and ignorance is why there was better road way systems in Metro Atlanta Area
THATS WHY WE NEED TRAINS🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
HELL YEAH TRAINS MENTIONED WOOOOOOOOOOOO
But how will the car stockholders increase their stock portfolio :(
My whole family was nearly killed by a drunk driver who was driving on a suspended license in an unregistered car going double the posted speed limit. I stayed home from church with my older son because we were both sick, and 3 minutes from my house some maniac was trying to kill himself and the girl in his car (who had a dvo against him), he ran a red light and tboned my wife going over 100kmh. Miraculously, and I mean it's a miracle, my infant son who was on the side that got hit was 100% unscathed, and my wife had 2 fractures and pretty bad lacerations, but my mother wound up with around 30 fractures and won't be coming from for a few months. Police are still investigating, and I'm only sharing this to say don't play with people's lives, Had God not saved them (including the guy and the woman in the other car), all I would have left is my oldest. Try to remember to pray every time you go on the road, people don't wake up knowing they will die today, it's usually sudden and unexpected, and doesn't come when you're good and ready. Stay safe and Godspeed.
I swear the main issue with the bad driver epidemic is that the driving tests are too easy. Hell when I took my test when I was 16 all I had to do was drive down a road make a U turn drive through a neighborhood and then that was it. I didn’t even have to parallel park. Which is what I threaded the most.
I had to parallel park do 3 point turn drive on the highway to even get my full license
I didn't have to go on the highway, but I did have to parallel park (which I'll never use) and do a 3 point
The drivers causing the most problems are ones who blatantly disobey the most obvious rules of the road. Things that are so basic they are not even on a written exam, nor do I find it unreasonable that they are not because it is the type of shit that would make a driving test 1000 questions long.
Had to do a parallel park up a hill and down. It was hell.
This. I learned almost nothing from driving tests. My dad drove with me a lot, made me learn to counter-steer his truck in the snow. I literally drove a loop in the empty suburbs for my “test”.
The driving tests need to be WAY harder. Manual transmission, packed environments, unpredictability on the road.
If you can’t parallel park a manual in a city, ya shouldn’t have a license. I’m gen Z btw, drive a 97’ Camry.
I meet so many people my age that would’ve totaled there cars 5x over if it weren’t for emergency breaking, blind spot indicators, and lanekeeping. They don’t even know the term “counter-steer”, and they live in a state with bad snow.
I've seen people behave like they are in such a rush to be somewhere at all costs. Being angry, aggressive, taking things so personally while driving. Being those things takes you out of awareness. Being on their phones or changing the station while sacrificing their attention and self awareness. The reports of fatal car accidents happen so much it becomes like static or "how it is". It has become a tragedy to put your desire to distract yourself before your actual flesh and blood. Lacking attention and awareness is no excuse to inflict pain on people and should never be a pass to absolve responsibility on the wrongdoer. Wake the hell up.
If you drive like that, you need to leave earlier. No amount of speeding is going to make up for the fact you should've left ten minutes ago 😭
I think it’s the fact we bullied a lot of people who don’t want to drive to get there drivers license is the main cause but I’ll edit this after I watch the whole video
It's been an hour the video is only 20min long . Did you fall in the toilet?
@dubzybc5457 I got off a night shift so I fell asleep mid way
I doubt it
It's an epidemic of sociopaths, they are ruining a lot more than just driving
if more people felt comfortable taking public transport, and that public transport was reliable, i think less people would feel stressed to get their licenses. i was super uncomfortable getting mine at 24 but it’s not possible to say no if you want a job. bad drivers would still exist but it’s easier to convince people who would be on the fence that the cost savings/convenience is worth it (ie old people or ppl who work long shifts, like seriously think how many doctors/nurses/etc are out there on the back of a 12+ hr shift running on redbull barely sentient while on the highway…)
Who was bullied into driving? Are you talking about your parents pressuring you to become an adult?
What are you even talking about??
03:17 roasted the poor escalade
I think that a lot of it can be attributed to lower IQ levels, the other day I was a passenger and an acquaintance of mine was behind the wheel doing 87mph at night (streetlights were out) with his lights off (at best you could see 6 feet in front), when I told him to slow the fuck down he got pissy and told me "dude what's wrong I've driven this road before like 100 times"
Low IQ people cannot fathom that road conditions vary across time
It's not low IQ but it's legit thoughtless people. Nurtured by their environment..
I once was driving along a river in thick fog at dusk. 2 lane highway. I could see 2-3 car lengths, going about 30mph. Someone appeared out of the fog and starts pressing me. They passed at 80mph on a straight and disappeared. 😮
You don't need a high "IQ" for driving. They are suffering from main character syndrome though.
Absolute selfish behavior on that guys part.
10:28 the thing about testing old people is accurate. My mom was a safe and fairly careful driver but in her last few years she couldn’t handle things. She would just be spacing out driving down the road going from a 55 to 30 and she would still be going full speed and just have not paid any attention to the new speed limit. I was screaming at her to stop and she was yelling back at me because I was screaming at her and she would not slow down, I had to physically reach over and grab the wheel and lean over and stomp on the brake pedal with my own foot to get her to stop. After that I wouldn’t let her drive anymore.
Is she still driving? That's scary!
@shwanmirza9306 no, no. That was the point which I took away her keys and drove her where she needed to go after that, till she passed. She was around 70 At the time and passed a few years later.
@turbopokey reminds me of my mom when she told me she started blacking out on the road for some years, practically forced her to go to the doctor to find that she had severe neural issues, and she was only middle aged then
i was literally thinking to myself on the car ride home "these drivers SUCK, maybe if i get lucky bladed will post another bad drivers video"
I'm VERY glad I live in Europe. This is so stoopid!
I'm a wholly public transport person, but holy shit you're based af, actually the first car guy I know who cares about infrastructure and safety
Massive respect bro keep spreading the sentiment
11:58 Multibillionaire* I can’t believe he only got punished to make $1,000 charitable donation for this. 🤦♂️
OH shit....I didn't realize a fucking Wrestling CEO was THAT RICH
11:24 Boomers came along and said "fuck this tree! I want a epoxy river river"
LMAO. They pay $40K for thos fucking tables. They're pretty, but iswtg this really is what they did to us huh?
This is what happens when kids don’t grow up on Top Gear/The Grand Tour
I’ve been directing traffic for 5 years in tourism HQ (Hawaii). The amount of people texting and driving is scary, someone yesterday had the gaul to argue with me when I gestured her to put her fucking phone down. Nobody even tries to hide it anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no saint but it’s never come close to that level of stupidity.
I have a million stories but one of two close calls was an old woman (shocker). The other, I shit you not, was distracted reading a novel. She was apologizing like crazy and I saw an open book on her lap.
If a flagger sees that you’re on your phone instead of paying attention, they’ll skip your turn and keep you on stop. I train all my guys to punish those kinds of drivers.
"we got irl skill based matchmaking before gta 6" is such a goated line 😂
11:00 Not even stolen. Just destroyed. Nobody benefits.
I have a car playlist with songs that I actually want to listen to, so I don’t use my phone while driving
I’ve almost had 4 people run into me the last 2 days. All people on the phone merging into my lane without checking. Scary since motorcycle season is coming up.
108 MILES??!!!! JESUS THATS LIKE 173 KMPH! (im a canadian, i always underestimate how much faster MPH is compared to KPH).
@joshuasalazar4316 Thats an empty Texan desert, I've driven there, it's flat as far as the eye can see. This isn't a top speed contest. These losers are going 108mph on a 65mph road in NOrth GA where the Highway has poor visibility due to all the constant ascending and descending. Speed is relative to the location too. It's like if some dude went 70mph in a school zone or bus stop (Like the 80yr lady) it's more than enough to be deadly....go ask those dead babies how 70mph isn't "actually that much tbh". It's all location, location, location.
That is autobahn speeds (for most fast drivers)
