It's important to remember that everyone makes mistakes from time to time.... And one of the biggest mistakes we've all made was to allow blind people to continue holding driver's licences.
Looks like half are due to "distraction", which means they are easy to prove with phone records for the time, showing them to having been on the phone leading up to the accident, and a easy win for the other parties. Last one driver is going to be paying a lot for his mistake there, a lot of cars destroyed by being a twunt.
That made me literally burst out laughing especially with the woman in the car going 'there was an accident!' while the guy is still gunning it and bashing more cars. Oh, the accident(s) is/are still very much on-going, love.
As a first responder there is nothing heartless about that, you are better off not stopping if you are concerned about your own safety and not in the right space to help others. Or even PTSD from a previous accident scene.
I watched 6:37 fifteen times trying to work out what magic made the Ford Territory move the DC car… until I gave up, stopped skipping back, and realised the red ute.
8:30 it's important to remember when you witness a crash, and have it on dashcam, *especially where it looks like a medical episode where someone really might need urgent help...* "No, don't pull over, keep going, keep going, just leave, just leave..."
There's no legal obligation to do this but helping out someone who might've just suffered a medical condition feels like the correct thing to do. Who knows if they can even dial 000.
The amount of avoidable accidents is astounding. Even some of those who weren't at fault could of easily avoided being invoved in an accident. A little bit of situational awareness and less ego goes along way.
Agreed, but there's nothing that mandates "defensive driving" or "situational awareness" is to be taught as part of getting a license. Currently you just get to sit next to someone with a "full" license for a dictated number of hours, learning all their bad habits. At a bare minimum there should be a need for professional, standardised training from an accredited professional. But this won't happen as the politicians required to make that law would lose too many votes from the "but my freedumbs and rights" mob not get elected. Much easier (and more profitable) to blame it all on "speed" and ignore all the other, more common causes than actually attempt to do anything about it. We've got to lose this idea that driving is a right, it's not, it's a privilege and needs to be seen that way. Motorcyclists in most states have to attend and pass set courses both before getting a learners permit, and a license. Handling, emergency procedures , awareness and defensive driving are all a part of the course, as well as restrictions to the type of bike you can get initially. But a young P plater in a car with no idea can drive a high power "sports" car in most states. I have to admit, returning to bikes and doing those courses made me a better road user in general. It showed me that over the years I had learned so many bad habits and got so lazy it scared me.
11:05 - Imagine having the audacity to give a "wtf" hand shrug and toot your horn when you are turning right from the 1st of 3 lanes. How do people like this get a licence.
15:16 - That was beautiful to watch, just because you are in the wrong lane the indicator does not give you right of way. You have until the solid line to comit to a lane. So what you stuffed up and got in the wrong lane, its not like Melbourne isnt a massive grid.
Tbh a lot of it isn’t that they didn’t see them, it’s the people in all the other videos who just force their way out at intersections and roundabouts assuming someone else will have to stop for them. Sooner or later the other person doesn’t stop in time.
This applies just as much to many of these dashcammers as it does the people technically at fault for the crash. In many of these clips the collisions were easily avoidable if the cammer was actually paying attention to their surroundings.
A disappointing lack of defensive driving in these clips. Many were avoidable. Aside from that, the main lesson in this video seems to be: When turning right without a green arrow, just because the person in front of you went, does NOT mean it's clear for you too!!
@@hugoburton5222 the amount of times people fuck up on the road, and I drive for a job, I always wait till they fully commit, same with people that leave their indicators stuck on.
The number of people sailing through clearly red lights is the biggest worry for me. Not just taking off from stop, at speed with zero awareness. Absolute liabilities on the road.
"Should we pull over? Nah just leave, leave" The accident driver clearly had some kind of problem, maybe even a medical episode. At the very least, stop and call emergency services. Pathetic behaviour honestly.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I was a first responder to an accident a few days back, some nurse had a go at me and told me to leave it for people who know what there doing. Was my 19th to respond to, so I had a fair idea of what and what not to do
I remember back when all the dashcam videos were Russian, because they were the only ones who used dashcam (because their insurance required it), and everyone was constantly talking about how they would just keep on driving after witnessing an accident, and that only shithole people from shithole countries would ever do that. Well, now we have hundreds of videos every day from Australia, Europe and not least America, showing the exact same behaviour happening everywhere.
Yeah for sure, seems like a medical episode or something. Dashcam might be what he needs to establish plausibility with the insurance mob or whoever else. What's the passenger afraid of?
@@M3rVsT4H I haven't been home in Australia for over 20 years (coming back in December), but I don't ever remember someone not jumping out to do something growing up in the Norther Rivers.
1:30 I’m not surprised that driver is fleeing when you’ve just tried to ram them off the road after the initial collision. I wouldn’t stick around either to risk getting assaulted. I’m driving to a police station to deal with it there.
There's so many people who are technically in the right but could have easily avoided the crash but just don't seem to have any situational awareness at all.
They are in the right so they stop people from merging / crash / pit other drivers . The important thing is that they are in the right. Avoiding accidents is so 90's Unfortunately I am still old school. I avoided a rear end accident recently. I was stopping for a orange turning red light (orange is start of the red cycle). I realized the driver behind was not going to stop (coming up very fast) so I drove forwards into the intersection a bit as he swerved to miss my now stationary vehicle as he /she/it blew straight through the red light. If I hadn't been paying attention, it would have been a good slam up the rear at about 50 + KPH. I had given him/her/it just enough space to swerve around (moved forwards about 1.5 - 2 metres). Of course there were no pedestrians at the time (something I considered) but pedestrians were there 10 seconds later.
Everytime I think about how much my comprehensive insurance costs every year, these vids remind me that it's because of the "Road Zombies" that drive among us.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure I can avoid causing an accident but a lot of these would be impossible to avoid if someone else caused it. A thousand bucks a year seems like a good investment
@@diracflux and I've been paying car insurance since 1967, and never had an "at fault" claim, so it double hurts to have to pay increases every year. But because of the "Zombies" you must, there's no choice.
sadly the privilege/right thing is only in theory, in reality probably not a single one of these cunts lost their licence, even the ones that did it deliberately
2:50 i wish more people knew that at least in nsw, you are allowed to hang in the intersection even after the light turns red. knowing this stops me from getting screwed by people who want to make it through yellows.
Same everywhere As long as you're in the intersection before the light has gone red, it doesn't matter how long it takes for it to be safe to exit the intersection.
@@shakengandulf Yeah me too. I'm too busy taking evasive action. I think it's good to honk afterwards to let people know when they are oblivious to the accident they almost caused, but I often forget.
01:17, what the hell. What a psycho. The guy has made a mistake and caused a tiny accident, so old mate swerves hard at him in some bizarre road rage? No wonder the bloke drove off, I would too. Then uploads the video to the internet like this is something to be proud of? Absolute flog.
Yup. Get a dash cam. Make sure you make absolutely NO effort to avoid a accident. Scream abuse instead of changing lanes or slowing down to let the poor bastard in then post it on Dash cams Australia. 🤷
The idiot who hit into him, Failed to give way, were they expecting the other drive to slam the brakes? Did not stop, fled the scene of an accident? They were clearly in a rush to over take the truck and not bother considering other vehicles on the roads, further it is wet and didn't wait for 3 single clicks either....
@@professor8288 honestly not suprising, acting like that even though they were the initial victim of the situation would make me concerned to stop, since he seems the type to assault you, so yes, did flee and i dont blame them
As someone that has been crashed into while stopped, and had the other driver flee, I 100% see the logic in not leaving the road empty for an efficient and speedy getaway. Pulling over and being out of the way is just a fantasy.
Yup, YOU being THE crumple zone on a bike definitely increases your situational awareness, and understanding how little breaking power you've got (especially when it's been raining) pretty much gives you the ability to see into the future. If everyone rode a bike as an adult (even a pushbike) before getting a driver's licence, it would help so much.
@@fondu-design really negligent of that truck to come up behind him so quickly, just assuming they could move across without having to slow down. It's never a good idea to travel that much faster than the traffic in front of you, especially if it's a bike
@@fondu-design Do you ride? If so, with that comment about "little braking power" I presume you are one of the "never use the front brake" crowd🤣. Otherwise I am with about licensing - a year on a Honda CT before you get behind the wheel.

I used to ride and get on in a paddock every now and then, keep threatening wifey I'll get back on again ;-) Still get about on a pushbike most weeks for something or other. No, I mean the front brake on my faster bikes was MAGIC (the front drum brake on my first chook chaser was APPALLING). Until it rained, or you hit some oil, or gravel, or black ice, or a metal plate where they were repairing the road, or an expansion joint or semi-wet painted lines or a tram track or
This is a doozy compilation! Only 5 and a half mins in and I've had to go back so many times already. This tells me how quickly things can turn ugly; how slowly things turn ugly too by really poor drivers not paying attention or following the darn road rules; and why our vehicle insurance is so flamin' expensive!! The people doing foul in all these vids are those who should be watching them 🥵
OMG have never flinched or yelled so much watching dashcam footage, scared the shit out of me!!! So many comments saying these people had very little situational awareness but easy for us to say watching it on screen, we have 20/20 vision. At least half these were never going to be avoidable by the dashcammers!!
Most of these accidents had drivers with the reflexes of a dead horse. I mean not even trying to avoid it or so many didn't even realise they were in an accident is disturbing. IDC if you have a right of way, you still try to avoid or minimise the impact. It's like watching Russia's dash cam video only with better cars
Yup, one of the hazards of having *mostly* safe roads is that people start to take safety for granted and then have no idea how to react when something unusual happens.
@@AnotherDoug No we want people to actually pay attention and drive defensive because its impossible to be attentive 24/7. To many mongs gasping for air reacting to an upcoming crash rather than breaking or evading. When you are going around a turn in your brain should be that car there is it going to stop, I'm hovering the break in case it dsnt stop. NOT don't mind me going through.
@@maxpowers4436 I would use the brakes, and not have a break. Of course it would be better to be on a lunch break so you don't drive, but if there is an accident about to happen while I am not on a break, I would always use my brakes, and not breaks. 😉
When I took my driving license 25 years ago, on my first drive with an instructor he looked at me and said; It doesn't matter if you are the best driver in the world, remember that you are sharing the road with potential killers. Always expect the unexpected!
Some people (usually women for some reason) react to panic by just stamping down on the accelerator, then they just keep going til they hit something solid enough to stop them.
If you look closely in some videos, you can see archeologists attending the scene of some accidents so they can dig them up and investigate our ancient past. 😉
@My Tab .interesting reply - racism or inability to communicate? In China, chinese people dont stop to get involved as getting involved tends to lead to being made responsible. Verys similar to the american culture where stopping to render assistance comes with all sorts of liabilities. In Australia plenty of chinese people stop & render assistance, as do or did most australians, its a legal & moral requirement
How can you tell? In most of those clips you don’t see for long enough to know what they did, and often it’s not safe to stop on the road so finding a safe place to stop safely comes first.
Out of all these accidents, only 3 can be attributed to excessive speed. The rest are all caused by inattention, failing to give way, or running red lights. All easily avoidable if people just followed the fucking road rules. Yet most of the money has been invested in speed cameras rather than getting police in patrol cars ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so I guess there is no such thing as a red light camera! Fact is for the cost of one patrol car and staff to use it you can monitor 4 spots with cameras. Each year it becomes even cheaper as cameras have small maintenance fees while staff wages go on. Unless you are willing to pay income tax of around 75% then we simply can not afford emergency services, health and education spending people want.
Alternatively... maybe the reason there were only 3 excessive speed accidents was because so much money has been spent on speed cameras, reducing the number of speeding related accidents? That said, there definitely needs to be more police in patrol cars on our roads.
@@-paulmp Yeah I would believe that shit, if I was hit in the head repeatedly by a brick. The whole speed kills campaign is a load of bogus numbers. Police stop crime cameras just make the ones who invest in them money. Mabey if it was just the government making money off the cameras it would be easier to swallow, but it isn't.
@@LHyoutube Green means go, Orange means fang the fuck out of it and Red means stop if you feel like it. You need to brush up on your Aussie driving rules, my friend.
3:50 It's not every day someone sends in a clip of them intentionally veering right into another car. Bonus points for having plenty of time to brake (instead of just laying on the horn)!
fiat could have swung back into their lane when they heard the horn, that would have been my reaction if i was the one changing lanes. The other driver probably expected that to happen.
@@claqyagami6914 That doesn't explain veering *towards* the car changing lanes, rather than _away_ from it... A key aspect of driving is to *_AVOID_* hitting other vehicles, even if they're doing the wrong thing. If you intentionally hit someone else, that makes you a shit driver.
there are 3 seconds between the start of the clip and the fiat hitting the DC. the DC is clearly going faster than the fiat at the start but that is not the case just before the fiat hits the DC the DC almost cross out the left side of their lane before the fiat hits them
@@Foxtrot369 in these types of videos it's usually some moron that thinks they legally have the right to pit manoeuvre someone entering their lane without checking, and the hard in they get knowing its on camera makes these clips inevitable.
@8:47 that is absolutely a time you pull over, you have footage and someone who clearly had no control over their vehicle (drugs, alcohol, medical, elderly) and therefore needed assistance regardless. You don’t just drive off when you witness something like that
Classic Gold Coast, i swear people move down there, and instantly forget how to drive / are on the gear 24/7. I swear i saw an accident or near miss most days going to uni
That first video. At first I was thinking "Hmm. They're actually being sensible and leaving a decent stopping distance". Then noticed all 3 were on their mobiles!.
While true it does put more people in danger. A lot of the time it’s better to just call the police and move on so you dont make 1 potential injury into 2 or more
@@aussiescotsman4145 if it’s minor. But if it’s life threatening time is of the essence. Aside from basic decency of course, but that’s expecting a bit much
I’d like to know the story on that one.. the 2nd falcon that came after already had front end damage and looked to be moving with similar haste as the first. Racing? Road rage?
@@Nathanation88 No, fleeing the scene of an accident. The crash driver was probably drunk or high and wanted to avoid police involvement until after he cleans up. The other driver was chasing because who will pay for the damage if the driver, who was liable for the damage, escapes unidentified? Had a drunk rear end me and try to escape like that nearly two decades ago. I chased him down, with the help of other drivers and was thanked by Police for getting a drunk off the road. I should point out that there were no passengers in my vehicle at the time so the risk was entirely my own (and that of other participating drivers).
As with all silent videos, I'd love to hear the audio of that one at 17:35. I'd wager that Tesla stopped with their ass hanging out on the road because the cammer was giving the long horn. Justifiably too, I think. Not only did that stooge in the Tesla cut across in front of them and then turn, but they stopped, still hanging out on the road, I think to cause an accident because the cammer was (probably) on the horn.
@@MeppyMan Tesla buyers are not known for their comprehension skills . Environmentally horrible company, nothing green about mining lithium & copper or disposing of batteries and nothing green about charging Teslas with electricity generated by gas & coal.
@@skrimper the cam could see him but could the driver? The cam is near the windscreen in the middle, the driver is maybe a metre to the right and a metre back. Different angle. Not sure he did…. Possibly? Dunno.
I'm not sure the truck could see him. He was in a weird spot down the bottom left in an intersection and didn't bother to speed up to get into the lane. What was the truck driver supposed to do? Risk his truck by slowing himself for one idiot that he couldn't see and wasn't even his responsibility to hove way to tiny hatchback that doesn't know how to drive. Hatchback deserves it and could have gotten self killed
The dashcammer at 3:51 deliberately pit manoeuvred the Fiat at the last second instead of lifting off/breaking. Way to turn a small mistake into a big hassle.
What skills? And which drivers? Just because nan showed 'em how to barely operate a motor vehicle. And someone else thought: "fuck it, give the cunt a license." Does not make any of these idiots drivers
7:32 - I feel like doing the same thing when I see a Camry. 8:58 - Camry's arch-enemy... Evil Tree with the audacity to be in the middle of the road (if you consider the median strip "the middle of the road")! 14:40 - Another Camry arch-enemy... Evil Commodore (who actually has the right of way for a change) 15:11 Taxi-Camry's arch-enemy... Evil Tradie not looking where he's going 16:53 Camry Jr. (Corolla) getting revenge on Evil Commodores
The one at 8:58 is your quintessential Camry driver. Zero understanding of vehicle dynamics, just pushing pedals and turning the wheel and hoping for the best.
No, fleeing the scene of an accident. Notice that the chase car is damaged? Notice how the chase car has pulled up into close proximity and stopped illegally in the right lane? He's got bigger worries than a fine for a standing infringement - like accident damage and the liable driver is trying to escape. I had to chase someone who did that to me two decades ago. It didn't end with another accident but I was thanked for getting a drunk off the road. I should also point out that there were no passengers in my car at the time - in which case passenger safety comes first and you wear the damages.
oi have to say this, I know the people in the wrong are in the wrong, but if you can see someone is moving into your lane or U-turning and not looking slow down don't just keep going, yes they are in the wrong but still it can be avoided.
7:06 I live near this area and have seen multiple near-misses at this junction. Major non-stop traffic from North East and nearby shopping centre leads to people getting impatient and trying risky maneuver. I try to avoid that junction whenever I could.
You can tell hi hits the accelerator to try to get out of there then wedges himself between the cars. Poor innocent people but good thing he couldn't do a runner
1:53 I’ve been on the receiving end of that. In my small coupe. Lost the brake pedal, as all pedals went to the floor, so ended up going this distance too - think the guy behind was doing 40pmh (60kph). Having played rugby, broken a few bones and never cried in pain - this accident was the first time I shreaked out loud - I couldn’t believe it came out of me. My head snapped back & forth 2 or 3 times. I was buzzing angry. Rightly too. The pain has stayed with me for 13 years and told it will never go if it’s not settled after 2 years. Had to stop playing rugby. No running. All manual jobs are a killer after a time; but have to push through it to remain mobile and not freeze up. I’d like to see the careless driver who did it to me stand there whilst we swing a bat at his back. And without warning. The idea alone should be enough for him to comprehend - but the daily reminder wouldn’t be there.
8:37 - Just leave... Seriously? You should go and check if that person is okay, it seems like there is something wrong, he or she might be hurt or passed out. Isn't there a law that tells you to help possibly injured people during a crash in Australia?
I can never decide which clips are worse, the ones where you instantly think "well this isn't gonna end well" in the very first second or the ones which are totally peaceful until some unlucky person gets cleaned up by a magical f@#&wit appearing out of thin air at high speed.
2:56, driver not paying attention, not prepared for possible traffic light change, thought he could just cruise on thru the red. Any wonder there are so many accidents at intersections!
It's one of my annoyances, the numbers of cars running late Yellows / early Reds is out of control these days, and far more dangerous than being 3kph over the speed limit on a dry day.
DC driver had less than 1 second from lights changing to yellow to their entering the intersection. Other driver failed to give way to oncoming traffic
Some of these accidents could have been avoided with some defensive driving in regards to the DC drivers. I know they shouldn't have to, but it would save a lot of headaches.
Such an eye opener that most of these accidents happened on what appeared to be busy week days in broad daylight. I've always thought the weekends when people are delving into recreational habits in the middle of the night. But these are people driving home from work etc. Any place, Anytime. Pretty decent crashes too in this one
@@AnotherDoug those laws dont guaranty immunity. you can still be sued. Cali courts have ruled so narrowly that it only applies to medical care givers.
11:23 actually glad to see one of those truckies getting into (relatively safe) shit for pulling stunts like these. Almost every week you see them sailing through without a care in the word for other cars, and no consequences.
I had a crash like that once. The trucker guy (towtruck) admitted he saw me driving on the exit lane and said words to the effect of he was aware but kept coming to the right anyway because he expected me to go onto the hard shoulder since he wanted to merge in. Since then I add "Master of diplomacy and remaining calm" to my CV, because hearing it was a deliberate crash I did not put him in the ground right then and there. And just to encourage that kind of bellend behaviour, police refused to take a case of criminal damage over it, even though he confessed on video, and even demanded I delete the footage because publishing it would be 'slander' (which from a legal standpoint is hilarious BS, but I didn't know that back then)
@@immrmessy Actually, you're correct. I was just trying to be a bit conservative, but no, you are absolutely correct. There's no such thing as an "accident". It can always be traced back to human failure. Even if it's a mechanical or electrical fault. The only kind of incident that may be termed a real accident, is possibly due to a medical episode, such as heart attack or stroke, a seizure or something like that. But every single clip on this video didn't have to happen, from inattentive driving, slow reaction times, or just plain poor driving skills.
until the road policing units are seen to be on the road more, it will only get worse . the police need to get out and catch these people instead of just using speed cameras.
Increase mobile camera units and deepen the pockets of those involved. The death rate on the roads as basically risen every year, fining people more and more hasn't work from the beginning.

Tbh a lot of it isn’t that they didn’t see them, it’s the people in all the other videos who just force their way out at intersections and roundabouts assuming someone else will have to stop for them. Sooner or later the other person doesn’t stop in time.
Because they’re foreign.
tbh the ones in the wrong are in the wrong, but if the other driver was also aware what was happening they could brake in time.
@@aiddogg3 the ones in the wrong are in the wrong, but if they didn't do the wrong thing no accidents would happen
There. Fixed it for you
This applies just as much to many of these dashcammers as it does the people technically at fault for the crash. In many of these clips the collisions were easily avoidable if the cammer was actually paying attention to their surroundings.
8:38 “just leave. Leave.” Good one mate. What a stand up member of the public.
Driver is concerned, but his mate is a bit of a cant
Typical dashcammer
@@jarrod1687 Not the DC'er
@My Tab Careful. Your racism is showing.
Agreed . Dash cammers passenger is a total beta male for starters . That incident may have happened because of a medical episode .
A disappointing lack of defensive driving in these clips. Many were avoidable.
Aside from that, the main lesson in this video seems to be: When turning right without a green arrow, just because the person in front of you went, does NOT mean it's clear for you too!!
exactly on the money, I feel some probably just want to cash out for insurance lmao.
When turning right, even if there is a green arrow you should check. Lots of red light runners this comp
@@hugoburton5222 the amount of times people fuck up on the road, and I drive for a job, I always wait till they fully commit, same with people that leave their indicators stuck on.
Fucking oath. Drivers, and especially passengers, should never fall potential victim to multi-ton pissing contests
Sheep syndrome. Worries the shit out of me when I'm riding my bike.
The number of people sailing through clearly red lights is the biggest worry for me. Not just taking off from stop, at speed with zero awareness. Absolute liabilities on the road.
I watch these videos twice. Once for the content and again, as someone who's never visited Australia, for the scenery. Thank you for this double gift.
"Should we pull over? Nah just leave, leave"
The accident driver clearly had some kind of problem, maybe even a medical episode. At the very least, stop and call emergency services. Pathetic behaviour honestly.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I was a first responder to an accident a few days back, some nurse had a go at me and told me to leave it for people who know what there doing. Was my 19th to respond to, so I had a fair idea of what and what not to do
Or drunk
I remember back when all the dashcam videos were Russian, because they were the only ones who used dashcam (because their insurance required it), and everyone was constantly talking about how they would just keep on driving after witnessing an accident, and that only shithole people from shithole countries would ever do that. Well, now we have hundreds of videos every day from Australia, Europe and not least America, showing the exact same behaviour happening everywhere.
Sometimes it's not worth hanging around is the smart thing to do In this day of litigation and the law looking for someone to nail to the cross
from the tone of his voice he probably and a warrant out on him.
8:40 I think its the first time I have ever awarded my Wanker Of The Week award to a passenger.
would be second for me, check out the best of 2020 compilation for a second strong contender
Yeah for sure, seems like a medical episode or something. Dashcam might be what he needs to establish plausibility with the insurance mob or whoever else.
What's the passenger afraid of?
I would argue the passenger comes from a family that is taught not to care.
I fully agree. The actions would suggest a stroke or something.
Strong contender for Un-Australian of the year too. Maybe he thought he was in a Russian dashcam compilation vid..
@@M3rVsT4H I haven't been home in Australia for over 20 years (coming back in December), but I don't ever remember someone not jumping out to do something growing up in the Norther Rivers.
1:30 I’m not surprised that driver is fleeing when you’ve just tried to ram them off the road after the initial collision. I wouldn’t stick around either to risk getting assaulted. I’m driving to a police station to deal with it there.
Dash cammer is an absolute mental patient.
I went from "Yay a South African accent!" to "Oh uhm nevermind"
Hed rather slam on the horn in protest instead of try some defensive driving and use his brakes...
Would absolutely love to see a 'best saves' compilation from this channel, from the drivers who reacted the best
That very first one with both the driver and passenger of the truck holding phones... astounding
with both hands too
There's so many people who are technically in the right but could have easily avoided the crash but just don't seem to have any situational awareness at all.
True for all except the driver with the medical episode.
They are in the right so they stop people from merging / crash / pit other drivers . The important thing is that they are in the right. Avoiding accidents is so 90's
Unfortunately I am still old school. I avoided a rear end accident recently. I was stopping for a orange turning red light (orange is start of the red cycle). I realized the driver behind was not going to stop (coming up very fast) so I drove forwards into the intersection a bit as he swerved to miss my now stationary vehicle as he /she/it blew straight through the red light. If I hadn't been paying attention, it would have been a good slam up the rear at about 50 + KPH. I had given him/her/it just enough space to swerve around (moved forwards about 1.5 - 2 metres). Of course there were no pedestrians at the time (something I considered) but pedestrians were there 10 seconds later.
Well if they did then they would be in these clips.
4:15
Busted by the Red light camera, then wiped out himself. Best Karma ever.
Too bad they had to drag someone down with them...
@@moshesheckel7369 You must be a hit at parties.

Everytime I think about how much my comprehensive insurance costs every year, these vids remind me that it's because of the "Road Zombies" that drive among us.
Exactly what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure I can avoid causing an accident but a lot of these would be impossible to avoid if someone else caused it. A thousand bucks a year seems like a good investment
Mine is over $900 this year. It’s getting expensive!
@@diracflux and I've been paying car insurance since 1967, and never had an "at fault" claim, so it double hurts to have to pay increases every year. But because of the "Zombies" you must, there's no choice.
Maybe it should be called Ensurance, ensuring someone elses stupidity doesn't empty your bank account!
"Road zombies" is a good description of them. Their heads are off in the clouds or totally blank.
What can I say; Good compilation as usual. A lot of these drivers need to understand that it is a privilege to hold a drivers licence, not a right.
sadly the privilege/right thing is only in theory, in reality probably not a single one of these cunts lost their licence, even the ones that did it deliberately
2:50 i wish more people knew that at least in nsw, you are allowed to hang in the intersection even after the light turns red. knowing this stops me from getting screwed by people who want to make it through yellows.
Same everywhere As long as you're in the intersection before the light has gone red, it doesn't matter how long it takes for it to be safe to exit the intersection.
If you've got time to beep, you've got time to brake. So many of these could have been avoided.
Im straight up the exact opposite. Ive dodged many accidents and always forget to honk.
crazy because my brakes have failed once and i still didnt have contact.
Most of these drivers don't seem to be alert at all until the impact is already happening.
@@shakengandulf Yeah me too. I'm too busy taking evasive action. I think it's good to honk afterwards to let people know when they are oblivious to the accident they almost caused, but I often forget.
YES
01:17, what the hell. What a psycho. The guy has made a mistake and caused a tiny accident, so old mate swerves hard at him in some bizarre road rage? No wonder the bloke drove off, I would too. Then uploads the video to the internet like this is something to be proud of? Absolute flog.
plus he could have slowed down or sped up. Instead he just watches it happen.
Yup. Get a dash cam. Make sure you make absolutely NO effort to avoid a accident. Scream abuse instead of changing lanes or slowing down to let the poor bastard in then post it on Dash cams Australia. 🤷
The idiot who hit into him,
Failed to give way, were they expecting the other drive to slam the brakes?
Did not stop, fled the scene of an accident?
They were clearly in a rush to over take the truck and not bother considering other vehicles on the roads, further it is wet and didn't wait for 3 single clicks either....
@@professor8288 honestly not suprising, acting like that even though they were the initial victim of the situation would make me concerned to stop, since he seems the type to assault you, so yes, did flee and i dont blame them
As someone that has been crashed into while stopped, and had the other driver flee, I 100% see the logic in not leaving the road empty for an efficient and speedy getaway. Pulling over and being out of the way is just a fantasy.
Good thing that bike at 6:15 was so alert to what was going on behind him. He could have ended up right in the middle of that mess!
Yup, YOU being THE crumple zone on a bike definitely increases your situational awareness, and understanding how little breaking power you've got (especially when it's been raining) pretty much gives you the ability to see into the future. If everyone rode a bike as an adult (even a pushbike) before getting a driver's licence, it would help so much.
@@fondu-design really negligent of that truck to come up behind him so quickly, just assuming they could move across without having to slow down. It's never a good idea to travel that much faster than the traffic in front of you, especially if it's a bike
@@fondu-design Do you ride? If so, with that comment about "little braking power" I presume you are one of the "never use the front brake" crowd🤣. Otherwise I am with about licensing - a year on a Honda CT before you get behind the wheel.

This is a doozy compilation! Only 5 and a half mins in and I've had to go back so many times already. This tells me how quickly things can turn ugly; how slowly things turn ugly too by really poor drivers not paying attention or following the darn road rules; and why our vehicle insurance is so flamin' expensive!!
The people doing foul in all these vids are those who should be watching them 🥵
OMG have never flinched or yelled so much watching dashcam footage, scared the shit out of me!!! So many comments saying these people had very little situational awareness but easy for us to say watching it on screen, we have 20/20 vision. At least half these were never going to be avoidable by the dashcammers!!
Most of these accidents had drivers with the reflexes of a dead horse. I mean not even trying to avoid it or so many didn't even realise they were in an accident is disturbing. IDC if you have a right of way, you still try to avoid or minimise the impact. It's like watching Russia's dash cam video only with better cars
Yup, one of the hazards of having *mostly* safe roads is that people start to take safety for granted and then have no idea how to react when something unusual happens.
@@manicdee983 So, you want to return to unsafe roads to improve our reaction time?

It's really sad to see that nearly all these accidents were easily preventable by driver awareness
When I took my driving license 25 years ago, on my first drive with an instructor he looked at me and said;
It doesn't matter if you are the best driver in the world, remember that you are sharing the road with potential killers. Always expect the unexpected!
They said that when I got my licence 40 years ago. But it's true. Also true is that most accidents happen at intersections.
That last one just tried to take out as many as possible
He was trying to get more stars like GTA5
Some people (usually women for some reason) react to panic by just stamping down on the accelerator, then they just keep going til they hit something solid enough to stop them.
And ironically he didn't hit the guy he was pissed off with. Everyone else in that postcode but not him.
It just kept going!
I have a feeling accelerator pedal stuck...
I have seen mountains erode faster than the reaction time of some of these drivers..
I've seen planets form in the time it took some of them to react
If you look closely in some videos, you can see archeologists attending the scene of some accidents so they can dig them up and investigate our ancient past. 😉

Yeah, that guy is guilty of something. hes the sort of person who hits other cars at the shopping center when parking and drives off.
Out of all these accidents, only 3 can be attributed to excessive speed. The rest are all caused by inattention, failing to give way, or running red lights. All easily avoidable if people just followed the fucking road rules. Yet most of the money has been invested in speed cameras rather than getting police in patrol cars ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
so I guess there is no such thing as a red light camera!
Fact is for the cost of one patrol car and staff to use it you can monitor 4 spots with cameras. Each year it becomes even cheaper as cameras have small maintenance fees while staff wages go on.
Unless you are willing to pay income tax of around 75% then we simply can not afford emergency services, health and education spending people want.
Alternatively... maybe the reason there were only 3 excessive speed accidents was because so much money has been spent on speed cameras, reducing the number of speeding related accidents? That said, there definitely needs to be more police in patrol cars on our roads.
Excessive speed increases braking distances.

@@claqyagami6914 That doesn't explain veering *towards* the car changing lanes, rather than _away_ from it... A key aspect of driving is to *_AVOID_* hitting other vehicles, even if they're doing the wrong thing. If you intentionally hit someone else, that makes you a shit driver.

No, fleeing the scene of an accident. Notice that the chase car is damaged? Notice how the chase car has pulled up into close proximity and stopped illegally in the right lane?

It didn't end with another accident but I was thanked for getting a drunk off the road. I should also point out that there were no passengers in my car at the time - in which case passenger safety comes first and you wear the damages.
oi have to say this, I know the people in the wrong are in the wrong, but if you can see someone is moving into your lane or U-turning and not looking slow down don't just keep going, yes they are in the wrong but still it can be avoided.

But these are people driving home from work etc. Any place, Anytime. Pretty decent crashes too in this one
Most of the vids we've seen were close calls, but this compilation actually has Impact!
My goodness, some of these drivers have the reaction times of sloths
Can't believe how people don't even stop to offer assistance anymore
Its a liability. People who help get sued.
@@thephranc sue deez nuts, paperwork isnt going to help someone in dire need
@@thephranc Untrue. Bystanders who attempt to help are protected by so-called "good Samaritan" laws.
I'd rather risk getting sued other than someone ending up dying from a crash I just witnessed
@@AnotherDoug those laws dont guaranty immunity. you can still be sued. Cali courts have ruled so narrowly that it only applies to medical care givers.
8:28, dead-set scum bag passenger. Karma’s gonna get you!
11:23 actually glad to see one of those truckies getting into (relatively safe) shit for pulling stunts like these. Almost every week you see them sailing through without a care in the word for other cars, and no consequences.
I had a crash like that once. The trucker guy (towtruck) admitted he saw me driving on the exit lane and said words to the effect of he was aware but kept coming to the right anyway because he expected me to go onto the hard shoulder since he wanted to merge in.
Since then I add "Master of diplomacy and remaining calm" to my CV, because hearing it was a deliberate crash I did not put him in the ground right then and there.
And just to encourage that kind of bellend behaviour, police refused to take a case of criminal damage over it, even though he confessed on video, and even demanded I delete the footage because publishing it would be 'slander' (which from a legal standpoint is hilarious BS, but I didn't know that back then)
Best channel for drivers' anxiety 😅
18:50 impatient... causes 4-5 car crash, Jesus Christ!
Insurance must hate him LOL
@@StormHawksHD you really believe they were likely insured?
@@Nathanation88 Buy the looks of it he tried to bail but hit the other car on the bridge stopping him
15:22 nice karma for trying to bullying his way in
Well that was a stressful trip down what the hell lane
17:17 Oh my god, that was super brutal
I don't know why but I love watching these videos.
damn, the sheer amount of people that don't understand the front end of the truck is a blind spot, amazing.
At least 90% of these could have been easily avoided if people just learnt how to FVCKING DRIVE!!!
100% of these were avoidable
@@immrmessy Actually, you're correct. I was just trying to be a bit conservative, but no, you are absolutely correct. There's no such thing as an "accident". It can always be traced back to human failure. Even if it's a mechanical or electrical fault. The only kind of incident that may be termed a real accident, is possibly due to a medical episode, such as heart attack or stroke, a seizure or something like that. But every single clip on this video didn't have to happen, from inattentive driving, slow reaction times, or just plain poor driving skills.
It amazes me how many people think they're the only ones on the road and anyone else who does happen to be there will magically get out of their way.
Love the contrast in music between the clip at 7:43 and the following clip!
Dash cameras aus delivering some good crashes in this compilation
Good add for Top Deck Scaffolding.
1:08... How many times does a motorcyclist, try skipping to the front of the line for this to happen???
yeah filtering traffic is the safest thing for motorcyclists. This guy is a great demonstration of what not to do
until the road policing units are seen to be on the road more, it will only get worse . the police need to get out and catch these people instead of just using speed cameras.
Speed cameras save lives by sending you a $177 fine for doing 2 KPH over the limit. This is important.
Raising revenue is the only way to save lives.. I mean it fails to work year on year but it's more financially viable to think it works
@@roadmonitoroz 2 weeks after don't forget.
Raising revenues increases budget therefore can afford more policeman on the road.
Yes.
Increase mobile camera units and deepen the pockets of those involved. The death rate on the roads as basically risen every year, fining people more and more hasn't work from the beginning.
shoutout to my boy sam made the cut @ 18:11
3:50
You were asking to crash there. I would almost say, that was deliberate. No attempt to avoid by going on the shoulder, no attempt to slow down.
Yes, that's it - you've got it. The DC driver deliberately enticed the other vehicle to illegally change lanes!
