If smeone can cause a 6+ vehicle collision and get away with it- that just goes to show how broken our legal system is.
Absolute bull sh*t lol
Ugo Lord did a short about collisions when the person at fault did not get any damage. Ofc, the they would still be at fault and that police station is just full of idiots.
@@green29373Considering there were still laws broken in all that, reckless driving, endangerment, speeding, possibly racing, and possibly others.
They've got the person's tag (but no real footage of the driver).
Give a copy of the video to every driver involved. That will mean that every driver will get a copy of the report which will identify the owner of the vehicle and their insurance carrier (or none, which is more likely). Of more importance: It will reveal the registered address for the owner.
Even if the police won't go after them at that time, they might when the vehicle is later found as a blackened hulk in the driveway...
Bye
Story #1: Those cops are useless. He should file a complaint.
Why? Crash was the Teslas fault not the Mazda
@@biggus_dickkus No, it's 100% the Mazda's fault. Brake checking is reckless driving, which is illegal.
lol tesla driver should use his blinker instead of cutting people off.
@@biggus_dickkushow exactly ? He stopped and avoided an accident, the accident happened behind him. But everything was caused by the Mazda who brake checked and stopped in the fast lane.
there was another car right in front of the tesla that was going the same speed as the tesla and already merged well before the mazda, so where was the mazda going to go anyway if the tesla waited?@@danzig-mfer
# 14 As a former Paramedic, we were legally allowed to break certain laws in regards to the highways act such as running red lights, driving across solid yellow lines, driving against traffic etc. But if we were in a collision while doing so, We WERE held responsible as we were not following the rules of the road. We knew we had to make sure we could do whatever we needed to in a safe manner or we would be held liable. The cop should have been held 100% liable. #5 Mustafa was at fault as he ran the red light which he had plenty of time to stop for instead of gunning it to try and beat the light.
Agreed about Mustafa. Along with the PRIVILEGE of being allowed to drive is the RESPONSIBILITY of driving safely and avoiding accidents. Obeying traffic signals is a good start.
If the Tesla driver was actually driving, he could have avoided the collision. Tesla had the self-driving beta engaged!
RE: Mustafa. Both cars ran the red light, but no contact came as a result. 13:38 Therefore, the red light is irrelevant. The other car deliberately blocked though and did so without an indication, making that car at fault. That said, Mustafa is certainly a poor driver, but his actions did not lead to any collision here.
and you are also allowed to make people broke from your service!
like the cops do!
@@dlghtfl1 Driving on public roads is not a mere privilege, it a constitutionally protected right.
The cops not pursuing the cause of the opening accident is absolutely insane
They probably made a report, they just put the Ford van as the primary factor and not the Mazda since they weren’t an involved party.
@@B345T1N355Officialthey directly caused the accident they were so involved. Had it not been for them none of that would have happened they are the primary cause of everything that followed and because of that they are inextricably involved
Ammmmerica, here in Europe they would go after him 100% :D
Civil lawsuit against the Mazda driver for mental anguish
@@account4info Would be thrown out immediately tbh.
For the first clip, it’s ridiculous that the cops won’t pursue the one responsible for the massive collision. Here’s to hoping the insurance agencies pursue and sue the crap out of the Mazda driver
someone in the comment section said that it is the law of Texas. next time we should try that in texas to see if it really works like that.
@@egaskradSadly, it does.
@@adsafgasgasdfasdfWho owns vehicle, if the vehicle owner can not provide details of who was driving he is assumed responsible.
@@adsafgasgasdfasdfStolen then brought back to the home?
If the driver claims it was stolen then police can seize it since it is not "Evidence" as it was used in a crime.
@@adsafgasgasdfasdf Well where we are, that doesnt matter. Unless the car is stolen, or otherwise being used without consent, owner and insurance policy is responsible.
Mustafa, my guy, a yellow light means slow down as it is going to turn red. Not saying the other driver was in the right, but it could’ve been avoided if you’d have just stopped at the red right.
Agree. This is a case where both drivers were wrong. Mustafa for accelerating and other driver for swerving into Mustafa. Mustafa, my friend, learn to not trust other drivers. Leaving that blinker on for so long was bad driving, but assuming he wasn't going to change lanes was, as you found, a mistake. Remember this advice when driving: There are always idiots driving on the road, and sometimes you yourself are one of the idiots.
Mustafa is 100% to blame for driving like an ahole
And not speeding. Was plenty of space for beige car when they started moving over if cammer didnt hit the juice pedal.
I agree with this. He's mostly at fault. The other guy has some fault for changing lanes in the intersection, but Mustafa has most of the blame
The light was orange for at least 3 seconds. You never accelerate towards an intersection, you should reduce your speed since you are approaching an area where the chance of an accident is higher. He should have slowed down and stopped at the line. The orange/amber light is not your sign to floor it to get through, its to tell you to stop if it is safe to do so. Then his answer to the other drivers actions is to be more aggressive. Absolutely shocking driving and not surprising since he is so young. There is a reason most countries only allow you to get a license at 18. And really, its his parents car so he should have been driving even more carefully since its not his own personal vehicle.
Retired Police Accident Reconstructionist here.. weighing in on some of the incidents:
* Police car was at fault for the accident. Police with active emergency equipment always have right of way, however they must be seen. There is no way to have seen the car make a u-turn from behind large vehicles. It was poor planning to turn there and not worth the risk when a simple traffic violation was the reason for the turn.
Unfortunately some younger officers fail to realize that emergency lights and siren allow them to violate all laws except that of physics. Officers should not travel too fast in congested areas - they cannot help anyone if they don't arrive.
* Mustafa: He should have been paying better attention and not run the red light, then made the mater worse by trying to pass the overtaken vehicle. The overtaken vehicle changing lanes was not at fault - that driver cannot be expected to yield to a vehicle committing a traffic violation, such as running a red light. We have to drive as if other vehicles will obey traffic laws or driving would be impossible. In this case Mustafa ran the red light, accelerating to try to beat yellow and was approaching the other car from the rear.
* The nails in the road is littering and placing hazardous substance on the road as well as attempted destruction of property. I would have placed charges if I could identify the perpetrator. We cannot overlook these seemingly minor crimes - I believe the "Broken Windows Theory." (Wiki has an article about it).
People like the bus driver in the #1 spot should not have a license. He endangered the whole bus of people and only delayed them. If I could pass on wisdom to people, it would be to drive chill because taking risks saves only seconds and risks injury and huge delays. Stop at every stop sign!
Eh....? So you're saying that a dangerous granny driver who indicates for ages without changing lanes (thus invalidating his signal), then doesn't use his mirrors when executing a blind suicide-merge isn't at fault? And when he deliberately tries to push Mustafa out of his lane in clear use of a vehicle as a weapon, that's also okay?
Looked like a clear 50-50 situation to me.
@@SVEVelsen I didn't say anything about a "granny" signalling and not using "his" mirrors.
What I said was that the law does not require a driver to anticipate that another driver will commit a traffic violation. We must expect that other drivers stop at red lights or stop signs or we would not be able to drive at all.
You said the driver made a "blind suicide merge" and then said "deliberately push.. out of his lane.. use of vehicle as a weapon".
You cannot do both - blind 'suicide' merge means not looking when changing lanes, while deliberately using the vehicle as weapon means there is intention. You cannot intentionally hit someone if you do not look or know they are there.
If a person intentionally hit another they are at fault.
If they do not yield to another's right of way they are at fault.
Mustafa ran the red light and the other driver could not have anticipated that.
If there were cross traffic with a green and Mustafa hit them, it is the same principle..
Furthermore, Mustafa was speeding and improperly tried to pass the overtaken vehicle.
The turn signal for miles example you mentioned is irrelevant - it is not a traffic violation, just a signal of intention. The vehicle being overtaken while in the roadway lawfully has right of way. This is a basic principle of driving.
People need to be more patient. The US alone has 40,000 fatal accidents EVERY YEAR. A couple seconds of patience is worth a life.
Insurance may split payments, but there is rarely a case where there isn't a clear person at fault. There are contributing factors in some cases, but that does not impact assignment of fault.
When we look at these there is usually a 1st event or violation that began the chain of events that leads to a collision. In this case they did not hit each other, but we can take lessons and learn from the each encounter shown, as Wham Baam Teslacam does so well.
For what it’s worth, on Mustafa’s video, it’s illegal for the other driver to change lanes in the middle of an intersection like they did. That said, Mustafa also clearly ran the red light. It was red before you got into the intersection.
That is a very common misconception. It is not illegal in most jurisdictions in the US to change lanes in an intersection. To be cited, it would have to be an "unsafe lane change" and the officer would have to articulate why it was unsafe if you actually get cited and you choose to fight it. "Because it was in an intersection" is not in and of itself a reason for it to be considered unsafe.
@@ShaddowDemon did you know, most Americans got no real drivers education...
so let him believe what he wants...
more work for the lawyers!
Mustafa is 100 percent at blame speeding, running red light, and aggressive driving
Nope, the other vehicle changed lanes in an intersection,
@@bluesmoke8714True, but yellow light doesn't signal you to "drop gear", it signals you to slow down as red light is about to turn on. I hope you don't drive at all, you are not safe for others with that mind set.
@@bluesmoke8714where i’m from here in canada they just changed the rules where ur allowed to change in the intersection and it’s stupid
Mustafa is primarily at fault. He should have slowed approaching a long yellow. There isn't an excuse to go through the red. But as someone said, the other car changed lanes in an intersection. It could be argued they didn't think the car behind them would try to go through the intersection. In the end, going through a red is worse.

This is how kids justify their behaviour nowadays
you kinda like........ missed the timestamp by a whole 2 minutes
Both drivers were wrong, its illegal to change lanes in an intersection which is what the other driver did. The submitter clearly ran the red light and accelerated rather than slowing down.
@@rowenagrimm8397Jesus loves you all ❤️ his the only why to heaven❤
Mustafa my friend, you sped through a red light and had the balls to honk at someone on the other side, you're lucky in many ways. Chill, dude :)
Maybe I’m a bit old school, but is it me or are these repair estimates on teslas out of the world insane?
They're luxury vehicles though.
@@FoxSullivanthey are not luxury 🤦🏻♂️, they start at 40k , it’s the technology that makes it expensive
What I want to know is how they compare to repair costs of their closest ICE competition (eg BMW, Audi).
Part of the reason Tesla repairs aren't cheap is that the market hasn't been sufficiently saturated yet. There are a lot more vehicles out there to source used parts from for most other brands. Second, is that not all mechanics what to get involved with EVs or Teslas specifically because of unfamiliarity, additional stock, additional tools, getting Tesla certified, and just plain "Liquid Dino best BRAH." After things get saturated and normalized, the costs will likely come way down.
@@foremanhaste5464 The wait for spare parts can leave a Tesla stranded for months- and its' both the parts & labor that cause the $40k repair bills
Mustafa ran the red light. The light was yellow for a long time, his clue to stop before it turned red.
I think both would have been at fault if there was an accident. I believe it is illegal to change lanes in an intersection.
@@rhondaw5054yeah i agree
@@rhondaw5054Wrong. The lane change doesn’t matter. Mustafa should have been more aware and they were already a safe enough distance. A jury would conclude Mustafa is a reckless driver and put him at fault. Him being young also doesn’t help.
@@rhondaw5054 In most jurisdictions in the US, there actually aren't any laws specifically against making a lane change in an intersection.
It is also illegal to change lane in a intersection
#5 - (13:14) - How is running a red light out of your control when you had plenty of time to slow down and stop? A yellow light doesn't mean speed up.

Funny that you'd bring age into it. My experience is it's ussually grandpas like you doing whatever tf they like and argueing they can't be held responsible or 'in their time' it was normal.
From racist abuse in the street, to parking like a wally, to leaving dog feces on your driveway, it's always the boomers who think 'that's just normal'.
What makes people want to key cars or put nails under tires? Blows my mind.
Poor parenting.
I parked in a local grocery store awhile back and a lady came up to the trunk of the car I had parked next to, I commented on someone keying the shit out of the passenger side of her car and she wasn't aware of it till I showed it to her. When she started crying I felt so bad for her and tried to calm her down and told her to contact her ins. co. and it would all work out...
A kind of nationalism. There are people who think that EVs are 'unamerican' and choose the traditional method of expressing themselves.
@@davidmillar-haskell8863 People have keyed cars before EVs came out.

It bewilders me how people would go out of their way to buy fake seatbelt clips just to dismiss a warning for a device that saves lives…
On the first clip. Carlos, if the police won't go after the suspect driver, the other cars that were in the collision can take that Mazda driver to court civilly for causing the accident and bodily harm so he can be sued seven times over by those drivers. And since it was malicious, he will not be able to file bankruptcy against any of these lawsuits if they happen against the monster driver.
if the police is not involved, it would be very difficult. number 1 problem is that you have to find out who was the driver of the Mazda at the time. if you don't even know who the driver is, you can't sue him/her.
Police hate paperwork
@@egaskrad plate was visible in the video so it shouldn't be heard to find the owner of the vehicle they are ultimately responsible for whoever drives their vehicle so they would have to sue the person they loan their car to after they were sued.
@@hornox4life Tell me about it. I had a lady purposely hit me and my wife. then she lied to the cops saying I hit her even though it was on dash cam she came from the right lane into the my lane where I was. The police officer that showed up on the scene would not even write a report. And the insurance companie wanted me to accept 50% liability? It took me 7 months in insurance court to finally get My liability reduced to zero. Now I'm preparing to sue the driver for diminished value on my vehicle. After all that's done I will release the video on RUclips.
Insurance follows the car and then the driver. More likely than not the Mazda won’t have enough coverage to cover the 6 cars which were damaged. Everyone is going to need to make an Underinsured Motorist claim with their own carrier - provided their coverage exceeds the Mazda’s coverage.
The guy who placed nails would still be at fault for attempting vandalism 😑
Yeah, it's ridiculous since there are many "attempted" crimes that people are convinced of. You can even be charged with "conspiracy to commit a crime." Those cops just don't care about protecting and serving anymore. They don't even care about "attempting " to protect and serve.
Unfortunately that's not the case in the majority of situations. A crime has to actually be committed for charges of such to be filed. "Attempted vandalism" isn't a thing. That'd be like if someone grabs something off a shelf, stuffs it in their coat or purse or what have you, and then takes it back out and puts it back on the shelf, and calling that "Attempted theft". It's not illegal unless it actually happens.
Kinda like working in a liquor store. If someone hands you a fake ID to try to purchase alcohol, but you catch it before the purchase is made, the most the cops can do is cite the person for the fake ID and confiscate it. I don't even think "Attempting to purchase alcohol with a fake ID" is a crime, cause we've already had cops ask us "Why are we here then?" if someone DIDN'T make the purchase with the fake ID and we called the cops to come out.
@@theElemDragonYou'd THINK that was the case (stuffing things in your bag but not leaving the store yet)...but there are tons of videos here on youtube where WalMart sees the stuffing going on, calls the police, and they go INTO the store and arrest the person for theft. They haven't stolen anything yet, they haven't attempted to leave the store...but they're still arrested.
When I watch these I'm always griping at the monitor "I hope these cops never see the inside of a Lidl store, because EVERYONE is stuffing things into their own bags and pockets there!" (Lidl *wants* you to bring your own tote bags or just use your pockets, as long as you pull it out and pay for it all at the register. If you need bags, you get charged.)
@@carriebartkowiak Though I'm pretty sure in the majority of those cases, the people they're watching either in person or through CCTV putting stuff in their pockets/bags/etc... and calling the police on, are people whom that specific occurrence is not their first rodeo. Just like how police can't exactly arrest someone for an ATTEMPTED crime, they also basically prefer to catch said people red-handed in the middle of the act.
Again, like working at a liquor store, there was a fraud ring going around that would purchase items over the phone as a curbside order using fraudulently acquired card details. They would usually order the stuff in the early/mid afternoon, and most of the time came in to pick it up after dark. We informed the police, they were well aware of what was going on, but they refused to attempt any arrest until they actually made it out of the store with the product. Why? Because while "Video evidence" of a crime having been committed can be questioned (poor quality, hard to exactly identify who did it, etc...), catching them in the act basically eliminates any chances of "It wasn't me" being viable.

It was the store I work in that ended up catching them. "Attempted to steal" doesn't go anywhere near as far as "Stole"
@@carriebartkowiakIn most of those cases, they do wait until the perp goes past the cashier lines.
Mustafa: The light turned yellow before you got to the solid lane divider line. That means you could have stopped safely. Once you hit that solid line under a green light, you're unsafe to go through. This is a standard marking that's been around since the 40s.
I used to live in San Francisco 20 years ago and it wasn’t like this. When are the people of San Francisco and Oakland going to stand up, get mad, and and demand that the police start doing their job? The property crime levels in the bay area have become outrageous!
Doing their job? Did you miss the entire "de-fund the police" thing ?
It's not the police. The politicians there have literally turned it into a shit town! When the police are warned by politicians that all criminals won't be punished if it's under $5000, or if it's not murder. The cops loose faith, and start to feel like "why bothet" doing their job. Stop voting in crap politicians that defund the police and punish police for doing their job.
@@cdbig9er They weren't defunded though. People are dumb, doesn't mean laws should stop being enforced.
@@cdbig9erI knew there’d be trump trash in here
@@cdbig9erThey were never defunded, you walnut.
14:13 The vehicle is always under your control. Therefore, yes, it's your fault for running the red light. Because you knew exactly how fast you're going and It was your Choice to speed. Also, a yellow light does it mean runnit? It means prepare to stop.
yellow means "stop if it is safe". The original text from the rule book is as follow, "A yellow (amber) traffic light or arrow means stop. A driver approaching traffic lights showing a yellow traffic light must stop if the driver can stop safely before reaching the stop line or traffic lights. Penalties apply for drivers who fail to stop at a yellow light, unless it is unsafe to do so."
@egaskrad Jesus loves you all ❤️ his the only why to heaven❤
Mustafa is in the wrong. The light was yellow for a long time before they decided to accelerate. They definitely could have stopped safely. Everything afterwards just further confirms that they're a bad driver.
All true it was his fault for running the red light. It was in his control. But after that point, the behavior of the other driver was entirely within their control so they’re both wrong. Using your vehicle as a weapon to get revenge on another driver, that “offended you“ is never appropriate!
If I were Mustafa’s parents, he would have a time out from driving the car for a month or two. And maybe a little review course behind the wheel with mom or dad sitting next to him just to remind him that they’re watching.
yup. u dont just gun it when you see a yellow light lol.
The police officer would probably be at fault for an unsafe U-turn
But he had his lights on
The blue lights are on. He must pay attention while driving.
they already had the siren on before they made the u-turn. that would protect them from a lot of illegal moves, including a U-turn. the cammer would probably has to go through his own insurance. the good news is, he will likely end up with a no fault claim which means he can retain his no claim bonus. the only victim here, is the insurance company.
Yeah, I'd say 75% the cop, 25% the Tesla driver.
Emergency lights gives the cop the ability to *safely* break traffic laws, but emphasis on "Safely". The cop did an unsafe U-turn to try to give a citation to someone who did also did a U-turn, except in this case the cop did it more dangerously because he didn't stop to check for cross traffic!
Lights do protect him from breaking road laws, BUT as @TheSeanUhTron stated, they must still *safely* make those moves, etc not blasting straight through a red light assuming everyone sees him.
WOW. We've got an early clip where a man PURPOSELY attempted a collision (and succeeded by six!), but the cops won't charge the guy...
And we've got a later clip where a man PURPOSELY attempted vandalism*, but the cops won't charge the guy.
Seriously!?!??
Since when are the COPS granted the power of a JUDGE, and can determine whether or not someone is guilty of a crime?
The cops can arrest and charge someone based on Probable Cause (which is CLEARLY present here in these clips), and then it's up to the District Attorney whether or not to proceed with the case or drop the charges, and it's up to the JUDGE (or a jury) to determine whether or not the person is guilty.
*I say attempted vandalism, but truly that tire sabotage was incredibly dangerous. Imagine going down the road at 65mph and the tire blows out from those sharp implements. There's all kinds of really bad and even lethal possibilities with that situation.
And who carries multiple handfuls of rusty nails and sharp pieces of metal around in their family SUV (not a work/construction vehicle) in the first place?!?!? How often does this guy sabotage people's tires???
Texas cops are TRASH.
The cops probably put the Ford driver primarily at fault
I mean look at the dents in his car, wasn't his fist rodeo :D
I was thinking about attempted vandalism as well - but is that a thing - I guess the police can confiscate paint cans from minors who they think are going tagging.
But what charges could they make without damages (for the civil part)
@@allenbaylus3378 It would likely fall under mischief. I don’t think a DA would prosecute though.
Pretty sure putting nails behind the tire counts as littering
Littering and uhh... And uhh.... 👀
Wow a reply from wham bam himself! I feel special :)@@WhamBaamTeslacam
Do you really expect a DA to waste their time on that? Do you really expect the cops to waste their time on that?
Yellow means prepare to stop, not gun the gas. That’s how bad things happen.
but guns dont kill people!
stop if safe to do so yellow/amber. green is go if safe to do so not just go because if you stupid to trust a green light and go without checking cold be a red light jumper or even an police on blue lights so even if green you cannot go till safe. deaths on crossing would be far less in usa if they learned a tad bit defensive driving and few basic rules what keep them safe
It means gun the gas.
14:11 of course it is your fault. You ran a red light.
I disagree. The beige car wandered in front of him without a signal and in the intersection, which is worse than slightly running a red light.
@sssnake2332 well the light was red before the submitter entered the intersection. The beige car probably wasn't expecting the other car to run the light as well. At this point it would just go down to the last clear chance.
How is running a red light out of your control? 💀these people should not be driving
@@sssnake2332are you a brain dead moron ??? Switching lanes in an intersection isn’t on the same level as running a red light there’s no way you just tried to change the laws for a 17 year old , running a red light is 1000000% worse then changing lanes in an intersection, if it woudlve caused an accident the 17 year old would’ve been found at fault so really try again
Wow I seen that exact same black lexus near the exact same location doing the exact same thing. This is just another normal day in Oakland
Mustafa: Yeah, that was your fault, my man. That light was yellow for a VERY long time, and you had plenty of time to stop. If you are driving at a reasonable speed, and you have time to stop, stop (also, look in your rear view mirror to see what's happening behind you). Always "think something" about someone with a turn signal on because you have to try and anticipate their behavior. Anticipate them doing something stupid, and look at what's happening around you to figure your way out if you need it. The most important thing for new drivers to learn (aside from never driving distracted) is _anticipatory, defensive driving._ I have been driving for many years, have had very few accidents, and have avoided hundreds by being fully present and _never being distracted._
13:12 - My analysis
* Mustafa had at least 4 seconds of yellow light to come to a safe stop. It was well within his control, he was either distracted or had poor judgement (The latter is understandable for an inexperienced driver- But it doesn't excuse his behavior)
* Beige car was making an unsafe lane change (It's illegal to change lanes within an intersection). Mustafa was right to honk at that car.
* Mustafa was wrong to aggressively pass the beige car.
* Beige car driver was wrong to try to push Mustafa out of his lane.
Overall, I'd say that Mustafa was more in the wrong for speeding, aggressive lane change (Indicative of road rage) and running a red light. The beige car was also wrong for making an unsafe lane change and road rage, but that was triggered by Mustafa's own road rage.
The lane change was only unsafe because Mustafa ran the redlight. So you can remove that from the beige car, specially since his turn signals was on at the prior intersection that the young kid ignored the control signal of.
@@samkdaily3055also the driver of the beige car probably thought he had been hit and that Mustafa was trying to run (which it looked like)
3:26 the cop is at fault he pulled out before making sure traffic in the lanes he wants to enter can see him
He _couldn't _ see the other cars. I couldn't see the cop car in the footage until its nose came around the corner right in front of the Tesla. I'm inclined to agree with the police report that said nobody was at fault.
And no, I'm not the person that submitted the clip.
@@Game_Blox9999 well the difference is the cop has to make sure its safe to turn around the cammer was just driving in his lane and got cut off by the cop. which makes the cop at fault
@@DJJumpdancercould be why the cop was going so slow when he started to peek his nose out. Its not like he gunned it around the corner to give chase. Hard to see around obstructions like that and you have to get enough of your vehicle past the obstruction that you can see past the obstruction, which presents a period of vulnerability. If the cop had gunned it around to give chase he might have cleared before the Tesla got there, or (most likely) there could have been a far worse collision with the cop definitely at fault.
@@Krahazik he should have stopped and waited until he could see without entering. the cammers lane.

Congratulations Wham baam Teslacam for reaching out 930k subscribers on milestone
Well, I think those police officers just didn’t want to do the paperwork and followup detective work for their “Minority Report”. Suppose this person had been placing nails or other sharp objects (glass, or razor blades) at the end of a kid’s slide in a park, or along a beach somewhere? You can see how this little “defect” in the perp’s thought processes might ultimately cause much greater harm in the future. Even if no crime had been committed, the perp could have been warned, put into the system, and if similar future incidents showed up in this neighborhood, the perp would be one of the first persons questioned and investigated. I think the perp would then think twice about the consequences of his actions. Same goes for the brake checker, I’m sure there is a law against it.
Very likely this perp has done this before and gotten away with it.
You make a very good point. The guy was out walking his kid and 'just happen' to have a few handfuls of nails to throw about? Where else did he 'misplace' some nails that wasn't on camera?
Someone ought to start marketing Lexan polycarbonate back windows for Teslas. They may scratch, but they're very hard to break.
Even with a spring-loaded or canister-powered window punch tool? I'm genuinely asking, not being snarky; those fast-punch tools are what these thieves are using. :(
And would it be legal to use that on a car? If police and/or first responders can't break your glass...?
I know police/FR wouldn't be trying to enter the car through that tiny window, but a lot of laws don't make sense and/or politicians don't take small details like "non-entry window" into account when they make a blanket statement "your vehicle windows must be made of safety glass" law.
I wonder if you got a piece of Lexan cut to the same shape and just glued it OVER/ONTO the existing window, if it would still protect the glass, or if the compressive force from the punch tool would travel through the Lexan and still break the window underneath it? (I mean, the seat-flip thing is useful and all, but it would be a much better solution to not allow the window to be broken in the first place and avoid that replacement cost. There are folks who've submitted videos in places like SanFran who've had to replace that little window 4-5 times because they keep getting targeted.)
@@carriebartkowiakWell thought out. Very good.
There is another item to consider: window security film. Even if the tempered glass crumbles, the film holds it all in place.
(just thinking through the options, none tested and where I live, not so much needed.
@@carriebartkowiak The thing with making the small window Lexan is that when the small window fails to break or they get wise to what is going on, the thief will simply break the larger and more expensive window right next to it.
6:56 This is absolutely the stuff that you have to be very aware of in neighborhoods, especially if you’re riding a motorcycle. People always fly out of the street like there’s absolutely no possibility that another car will be there. I see this very frequently especially in the morning when I assume everyone is running late for work.
Yes, i have watched every one of yr videos here. I only started watching bout 2 years ago, but i went all the way back and watched the old ones. I binge watched several days. It was fun. Thanks for the videos AND the commentary. Love it. Thanks for your other channels too btw
Please lets get these bad drivers off our highways
Yep, get all the cops off our highways.
14:17: Both were wrong. Mustafa for running a red light. You don't accelerate unless it just turned yellow and you will be half way through before it turns red. In the video, the light was red before he entered the intersection. The other guy was also wrong for changing lanes without it being clear. In California you can change lanes in an intersection if the way is clear but not all states. If there had been an accident, I think Mustafa would have been mostly at fault.
And this is WHY my beautiful, sweet teenage daughter (who is high functioning on the spectrum) is absolutely terrified to drive! Even driving lessons with a really certified, kind instructor isn't helping her much! I can't blame her, really, given the proliferation of crazy drivers on the road today! We need more cops patrolling and enforcing the road laws!
They were both wrong , Mustafa for running the light considering that he did have a yellow warning light and therefore had ample time to stop. The other car for not checking that the way was clear before merging. An indicator does not give right of way it only signals intention.
Finally road raging is never right!!
Anyone notice something falling from the second helicopter from Video 3?
#15 one of the worst road rage results I've ever seen. That's why I'm afraid of driving nowadays. You never know how another driver will react to something you do on the road. Some people have actually shot and killed people over fender benders. Road rage is just getting worse.
As soon as I see it posted on Sunday evening I watch every episode. Love them
The clip tracker on the left corner was something I didn't know I needed. Nice addition
Just testing it out!
Don't like it!
@@adrianjohnson1373that’s ok.
Mustapha you must have a brake pedal!
Didn’t the Mazda driver technically did a miss and run?
is considered a non-contact accident, easy to prove it when you have a lot of video from a TeslaCam
@@Fedechat brake check is illegal in some states. the accident was caused by the Tesla stopping the the middle of the highway. So either they pursue the Tesla, or pursue the reason that cause the Tesla to stop.
Correct, we all know the Mazda driver committed a crime. The problem for proving it is they can always say they didn’t see what happened in their rearview mirror, and they can also say they came to a stop because it looked like somebody in the other lane was going to come into their lane. However, nothing is preventing anyone of those people from suing the Mazda driver.
@@williamcope2652 Lawsuits are wholly ineffective.
Other methods are required.
@ediswiththememes7988 This is considered a miss and run where the reckless actions of the Mazda caused the accident accountable. The cops don’t even know what a miss and run is.
#5 - Another point was at 13:54, in the opposing lane, someone crosses the double yellow which could have resulted in a head on collision.
My answer to the question, everyone was doing the wrong thing in that video, Mustafa needs to be a more defensive driver.
I enjoy the top-left progress bar showing how much time left is in the clip
Hope everyone is OK and nobody got injured!?
That Mazda driver in the beginning had his WHOLE CARRER ended when he CAUSED a 7 CAR PILE UP!!! Bro is not going to recover from that 💀
Edit: nope I forgot, police always let the perpetrator get off without consequences.
This would be considered a miss and run. A miss and run happens when a driver’s action cause an accident. So the Mazda driver would be at fault. The Mazda drivers reckless actions by road raging and brake checking would be enough criminal charges for road rage and miss and run.
@@bigfootsb284”so the Mazda drive would be found at fault” how are you gonna even say that when the video literally said they weren’t , obviously they were , but you saying this doesn’t change the outcome
9:33
Been here since episode 12. Time sure does fly what your watching Wham Baam
Agreed Kwame's mofel Y looks superb with the BBS.
The giy who attempted to vandalize atreyu's Tesla should 100% be held accountable. It was unprovoked, in fact you complemented the baby so yes. He should be held accountable, like with the police's logic I could attempt a murder but as long as I don't injur or assault him I'm in the clear right?
13:43 If ya see a yellow light you have to slow down, cause the light tunred red before he crossed the white line. He had time to slow down but chose to run the light instead. if he was a few feet from the white line when it turned red then I'd say, ya he's fine but not this clip. I don't drive myself but I know most of the road laws and such
"is it my fault for running a red light"
Yes. Yes it is kiddo
scrolling down I see ya'll tearing him a new one lmao.
but yet it's not surprising cause a 17 year old's instict is to not be responsible and admit fault but to blame someone or something else
And if you see a white light after ignoring a yellow one end result inevitable 😇😇
12:05 +1 point towards "Never visit Oakland, California"
Mustafa...That's why we have yellow lights. As far back as you were when that yellow light came on you should have known you never had a chance to go through that light before it turned red. you had plenty of time to stop. I must add however that the other driver changed lanes in an intersection which is also illegal.
14:00 Mustafa is a complete danger, out of touch with reality, and has a complete disregard for rules and the safety of others on the road.
His parents should give him a golf cart for the time being.
Speeding, ignoring yellow and red lights, aggressively driving, and then not being responsible for their actions and running away, once again speeding. Awful.
2:34 the law NEEDS to be changed then where if you brake check someone resulting in causing a crash, whether your vehicle is actually touched or not, then you are held accountable! Yes they will say those other vehicles obviously didn't give themselves enough safe braking distance, but the brake checking fool needs to be found even partially responsible. No one should be able to cause a 7 car crash or a one car crash and get off scott free....that driver should also be charged or given citations for toad rage, reckless driving, etc.... But given its Austin TX, a mini California, I'm not surprised....
The problem with that is in this video, the Ford van could have slowed down but was following too closely and ended up crashing into the Highlander and the Camry. The cops likely faulted the Ford van for that.
Texas is a conservative state. I doubt Austin Texas cops are liberal. Your obsession with california is pathetic
Officer is responsible, 100% The hubris of the Code 3 doesn't mean the laws of physics get suspended for Officer Donut.
Wham Baam Teslacam! I have watched all your vids and love all of them!
The accident with the Madza when the police did not enter into the report
In TX that is considered a non-contact accident. The other drivers involved due to inattention and faulty evasive action (a catch all)
I was going to write the same, is considered a non-contact accident, which not all states have it, but in Texas is possible, the Officer should known that, which is hard to prove it unless... you have dashcam or TeslaCam.
In Miami, I saw something similar but only one car was involved, the office said the same thing to the girl, but back them I didn't know about this.
In The netherlands it is not aloud to stop on the hiway without a good reason.
Doesn't matter what state it's in.
EVERY one of those involved drivers should get a copy of the video and ALL should file reports. They will also be able to press charges against the mazda owner (who will, of course, say they were not driving despite the fact they were).
It will also give them the owner's insurance information AND RESIDENCE.
A little sleuthing will identify the vehicle... which would probably be rendered non usable shortly thereafter.
@@amzarnacht6710 Agreed, civil action.
I love the new progress bar in the left top corner.
Yes, I've been watching from day one. I watched all your episodes.
Unpopular opinion, Those wheels are actually hideous. Sorry lol
good thing opinions are like shoals, everyone’s got one 🤣💯
Mustafa: If you'd been paying attention, you wouldn't have run the red. PAY ATTENTION!!!! Everything afterwards was just the Buick driver being an @$$h@t....
That has to be some clean ass BBS LMs I’ve ever seen on a Tesla!
I've watched all of the videos, right from the start of the channel till now!
Carlos needs to pay more attention. That car was clearly coming up fast. The Mazda driver was a complete moron and should not have reacted that way but there is no reason Carlos didn't notice he was there much sooner
Carlos was being passive aggressive, and when the Mazda got over in the gore area, he clearly hit the gas, knowing he was there, as Carlos was before a good distance behind the suv in front of him, and then he got to a more normal distance. Carlos is more involved than is said in the narrative of the video.
#6 Criminals are a protected class in California. The people were probably afraid they would be arrested (or worse) if they get involved.
imagine thinking you got away from having caused a car crash just to be exposed on this channel lol
I'm excited to watch wham baam Teslacam tomorrow
Carlos needs to learn how to enter the freeway! No excuse for road rage, but with people like Carlos on the road, fools will be fools.
That part of the freeway looks like a merging section though?
Carlos was being passive aggressive going all slow on the on-ramp and not getting his ass moving seen faster cars behind him.
He had a black SUV in front of him though?
@@NoMoYOUsernames the gap grew significantly tho
12:42 I live in CA the answer is yes
Eddie 8:16 with the SpaceX thing on his Tesla is a smart man of much culture with the Marin Sticker on his car
14:02 Mustafa needs to understand something. Driving a car in real life is NOT a video game. And he ran the red, so he needs to also understand, a yellow light means prepare to stop, not accelerate. If he can't be smart and grown up about driving then he should wait to drive until he can.... The other driver was also a w⚓.....
With Mustafa… the other driver changed lanes in an intersection…that’s illegal
as is running a red light. Yellow means prepare to stop, not gun it they're both bad drivers! Also not every state has laws making it illegal to change lanes in intersections.
"Very few states have a specific law saying that you cannot change lanes while passing through an intersection. However, that doesn't mean that you should do so, or that you'll never run into trouble for doing it.Jan 6, 2023"
I love bam Bam Tesla cam. I watch all the videos since it first started the channel. I’m also following the other channels as well and I’m currently looking forward to purchasing a Tesla model X soon.
Yes sadly in oakland this is pretty normal. Crime is getting worse and worse. stay safe and i am glad that no one was injured. Lover the vids keep it up!
In what world did that Mazda driver get away free? America is such an f’ed up place
that PD is really dumb as hell, any judge would of tore that PD up for this
Elon Musk fits right in, he f*cked a lot of people over at Twitter...on Xmas Eve. They joined all the Americans who lost their jobs at Tesla when he moved his company to China. Small wonder that Tesla owners are hated too. The majority of Tesla accidents are one car only. I don't think liberals and other EV owners will enjoy watching Musk profess his love for DJT on Fox news, either.
TSLA stock down again on Friday as investors disgusted by the stock's poor behavior and Musk's weirdness continued dumping the stock along with the poor build quality. TSLA stock has dropped 30% YTD while the entire market sets new highs weekly.
Oh, what a feeling!
Mustafa was less in the wrong than the guy making a lane change in an intersection. Mustafa could have stopped, he did have control of that
no. it was two incidents. he ran a red light. he was 100% wrong. the guy who made the lane change failed to aware of a coming car. he too was 100% wrong.
@@egaskrad yeah I agree they were both wrong
How tf are you gonna say “less in the wrong” if they woudlve collided , mustafa woudlve 1000% been found more at fault , it’s on camera of him “dropping a gear” to make a yellow light (that you’re supposed to slow down , not speed up) resulting in him running a solid red light , changing lanes in an intersection is not worse then running a red light it would’ve been a 80/20
@arxhetype1828 oh so sorry officer thank you for correcting me 🤣
Carlos was supposed to yield to traffic while merging. The dude in the Mazda needs Jesus.
Why are there so many stupid tesla drivers in this episode. The first and third clip, the tesla drivers merged across multiple lanes of traffic without checking for traffic. The netherlands clip, the tesla driver crossed 3 lanes of traffic without checking, smh
The Netherlands clip submitter said he had checked his blind spot multiple times before merging, and continued checking while changing lanes.
The bmw was behind another car and they both merged into the same lane while the bmw was going way over the speed limit it seems like.
clearly looks to me all these could've been avoided if they were halfway decent drivers..... I'm not shocked at all. And the repair bills!!!! What a joke
Geez this american bullshit, here i europe that mazda driver would be prisoned for a while
Mustafa, the traffic light was showing yellow so long that you could have stopped by just letting off the juice pedal and allowing regen to slow the car to a stop. Running the red light was entirely on you.
The other driver was kinda bonkers as well, though.
Lol. That BMW driver and the passenger were working really hard for their Darwin award prize. Sadly they didn't get it this time but at least they got a nice participation medal.

As someone who has studied almost all US road laws except Hawaiian and Alaskan road laws and felony laws: story 1 is literally cops that dont want to do anything. Those police officers need to resign. It is extremely illegal to stop suddenly in traffic with no cause or effect. The driver took off is has several felony charges now against him including attempted vehicular manslaughter, reckless driving, impeding traffic, impeding traffic causing traffic incident. Even if the person was not touched, they did everything.
Atreyu: conspiracy to commit crime, attempted crime, attempted vandalism.
11:25 That should be a sign for him to stop buying Teslas lol
Regarding the red-light incident:
Here, in Texas, the yellow light legally must be on for a minimum of one second for every 10 mph (16 Km/h) of posted speed limit. So, on a road with a (for example) 30 mph speed limit, the yellow light must be on for a minimum of three seconds. In other jurisdictions, whether it is a law or not, it should be at least a rule of thumb or a guideline. YMMV.
So, knowing that rule, when approaching intersections and the traffic light goes from green to yellow, I immediately start counting mentally, "one one thousand, two one thousand, etc." and some quick mental math including how quickly I am approaching the intersection and how many seconds are left. The last variable is if another driver is riding my back bumper. Then the answer presents itself as to whether I should cruise through, brake, or drop the hammer (accelerate hard). Here, in Texas, red light cameras are now illegal, so that's one less variable here.
In some jurisdictions, when red-light cameras are installed, the yellow light is shortened. When this is done, questions about increased revenue vs. increased safety tend to arise.
Do your Math, people!
12:16 - ah, another future doctor from California
Me! I watch every episode of TeslaCam, DashCam, and SecurityCam, for me, they are not just entertainment, but a classroom! ❤
I agree with the supervisor in number 14
@4:10 perfect timing with the music!
In Mustafa's case, they're both in the wrong. He should have been slowing down LONG before reaching the intersection. He ran a red light, and saying it was out of his control is absurd. The other driver changed lanes in the intersection, so I understand hoking at that point to let them know you're there to prevent a collision. However, you then get aggressive trying to get around them, making the situation worse. Mustafa needs to head back to driver's training if he needs this explained to him.
usa is absolutely nuts. dude did an illegal brake check on a HIGH WAY. he's going to get slapped with something one way or another.
