I think the problem might be that the bus looks like a Fuso Rosa, which is a heavy vehicle, and restricted to 40km/h and the left lane on that segment.
That's a 90Kph road. you need to keep left, unless over-taking on roads over 80Ks. bus had no reason to change lanes, especially in front of a car moving at speed. DC not being courteous also has nothing to do with it. over-taking lane over-takes, if its not safe to move in to the over-taking lane, DONT MOVE! Simple. And this so called "ample space" (irrelevant, due to the inappropriate lane change) is actually a lot less space than it looks.

If you're second in the queue to enter you're usually stuck behind someone really timid so you pull out and around them. Unfortunately, people seeing a merge approach, speed up to stop drivers "getting in front" of them, and you have to check your speed - committing the crime of "wanting to get into the right lane when someone else was accelerating to stop you". But if you stay behind the timid person and wait your turn, then someone on the freeway will come up the LEFT lane and try to stop you merging too, then the person behind you starts tailgating and when you get onto the freeway, THEY swing out into the right lane to get past you because you're "timid". If we had more 6+ lane freeways and the Canadian attitude of always moving right as we pass a merge, there would be a lot less aggro.
Thank you! I've been (jokingly) saying all this time: I would be shunned from Canadian society if I didn't automatically move to enable another car's safe merge. I can't even imagine driving this way - it's not safe for either car!
Australian highways are possibly the worst in the world. I remember once going the speed limit in the left lane and undertaking every single car on the freeway.

I realize a small handheld wouldn't have done much on that last one but an extinguisher is always wise to carry and can put out a fire at the start before it goes crazy. Hope all are ok 👍
And, even if it can't stop the fire, it can suppress it enough for people to escape or for others with bigger extinguishers to arrive to help or for the Firies to show up. Fire extinguishers are should minimum equipment for all vehicles.
12:46 good reactions from DC driver. Barely ever see people attempting to avoid wildlife these days, even when the road is completely clear of other traffic.
The other day me and my mate where driving around in my brothers car and we were talking about how someone accidentally wrote my car off because they hit a kangaroo (the fire wall got damaged) and I kid you not I came around the next corner and 3 kangaroos jumped out in front of us luckily I managed to miss all 3.
9:40 Thanks for going through the red so we could see the ute crash. Much appreciated. 10:57 Part of Logan. Not that surprising :D 13:52 Wet painted lines. The bane of all bicycle / motorcycle riders.

Of course the car is required to look but I don't trust people. 17:00 It's a taxi. Expect the worse, never be disappointed. I've been crashed into by taxis so many times (usually when I'm stationary - Most of the in motion ones I dodge) 17:29 Can breath again now. Glad that rider escaped that. Could have meant broken ribs or worse.
5:22 Probably worth watching this clip to think how you might have responded in this situation. I don't know if the daschcam driver had a vehicle behind them or if they had better visibility than I can see (I can't see much of this on my phone), but I can see something there that _might_ have been a human nearly getting run over. Sometimes you've got to respond fast and I think the car in the left lane that stopped did well.
I thought you were talking about the truck in the left lane with high beams spotting a pedestrian on the road and the dc overtaking at the time meant the truck couldn't get as much out the way as it would have liked. But the clip you link appears to be an accidental pit manoeuvre and it took out the headlight of one of the spinning cars (the other looks like it spun to the left off the road). Certainly on my phone screen that was how it appeared, but yes, the DC (and car to the left of them) were lucky not to become part of that accident!
@@TonyHamlyn I know you're on a phone so you may of missed it. But the Electronic Sign was displaying "Breakdown in left shoulder" "use caution" before the collusion of the broken down vehicle and the car that colluded with the broken down car and spun. I am assuming someone wasn't paying attention too the big sign warning them of a hazard that could have prevented the accident.
@@ShaxxARoo Those signs are bullshit half the time, gives ya trust issues.. Same with the digital speed signs. Going from 100 to 80 to 100 again.. for what? Causes traffic.
@FTKSoky tl;dr ignore warning signs after 500m or so unless its a VMS because they just use the closest one. Thanks for coming to my ted talk i can shed some light on them at least. There are behavior monitoring cameras all over most major motorways in australia, and people observing from TMR can remotely set a wide variety of messages on the VMS boards around. Protocol is that warning board is the absolute last thing to go, so if you see that warning and see no event, theres a good chance the tow truck is well ahead of you and you just missed the action. For the variable speeds, every square cut into the road you drive over is an induction coil. Two close together are used to track traffic speeds and types, basically like a permanent version of pneumatic hoses used for survey computers. There are computers analysing this information constantly, and when certain conditions are met they automatically reduce the speed, or TMR can manually instate reduction zones. They typically start far enough back that noone has a reduction greater than 20 in one go, and are timed so everyone passing the next reduction (100 permanent, reduced to 80, then 60 for example) has seen the previous one too, then reverted in reverse order. Some incidents like phantom crashes (some event where someone causes a ripple effect bringing congested traffic to a near stop despite no actual collision) can meet these conditions. Basically, when it comes to temporary road signage, always treat it like its in effect for at least 500m, by which point you would have seen something else related to it. To put in perspective why this has to be this way, think of things like highway lane closures. We have to put signs down both shoulders typically, and cannot cross the road. This means we run a convoy loop down one side, then leave the roadway entirely, run a lap, and then do the other side followed by a closure. What this looks like to motorists on that side is a lot of warning signs, and not a single thing actually happening until the loop back is done, which might be 10-20 minutes depending on where it is. When packing up, the closure has to go, we pack up the obstruction, we loop around to the start, pack up one side, loop around and pack up the other. This, again, looks like a lot of warning for nothing. Just remember 500m and 1km and you're golden to ignore it for the most part. 500m for temporary traffic warning signs, 1km for speed advisory signs. I say thise distances because its required that if a road is not a default speed (50 built up, 100 non), there must be a speed sign passed within 1km of traversal from any point on the road, and the AGTTM and MUTCD specify distances always shorter than 500m for TC signage placement (500m is the farthest, typically its 15-200m depending on speed and signs used)
9:48 He may have been an ‘effing idiot’ however you, him and the car ahead of you ALL went through an orange light ~~ Seems to me you are the pot calling the kettle black ! You’re all just as bad as each other, in a hurry, for what ???
@@CORNERSUNDERATTACK~~ actually, this is what the rules say “……. to safely stop or safely go through depending on your speed and distance from the light.” The three cars should have stopped as they could have done so safely ~~ it was u safe to go through the light as they all did !
The ute went through a yellow light - yes, if it was safe to stop, he/she should have. But that driver clearly had no intention of stopping. The dash cam vehicle actually crossed the line on a red light. (He also had no intention of stopping)
16:27 This is a case of bad situational awareness and assuming what a driver is going to do. Instead, allow them to make their move before choosing your path/direction of travel.
No, this is a case of a driver almost killing someone through negligence. The pedestrian of course could have used more self awareness but what excuses would you use if it was a blind person or a runaway child or an animal? Time to stop shifting blame onto pedestrians for existing and start holding dangerous drivers to account. Driving comes with a responsibility to protect the safety and lives of others and if you can't do that you should never be allowed to drive.
@@mrawesome9219 It's a very very fast darwin award for people who walk behind reversing cars. People with disabilities, of course have somewhat of an excuse, but dude looked like he was able, and still chose to walk behind a reversing car.

LOL NO? The driver would have saw a pedestrian crossing the car park yet the driver decides to do a high speed reverse after they just just saw a pedestrian about to cross right infront of them???
@@Adrian-lc6jq Probably safe to think that the car driver, would assume someone who drives, wouldn't be stupid enough to walk behind a reversing vehicle. People are stupid, as this video shows, and too many people are stupid enough to walk behind a reversing car nowdays. Justify it however you want, I know that I'll never walk behind a reversing vehicle, because... I don't want to get hit? Yea shit happens, but I'm kinda someone who doesn't wanna get run over!
@@johnnichol9412 it's not a "shared zone". It's a car park, in which the rules of the road apply. Do you wander across roads & expect cars to stop for you? If so, good luck with that.
Do people consider it a day job to drive around looking for footage and when they do loudly announce that it is going on to Dash Cams? or does merely mentioning the name enter you into some secret lottery for merch?
The number of drivers that simply fail to give way is staggering! It's just a thought, but maybe they should have this thing where we have police on the roads or something like that. I know it's a bit "out there" but maybe they should try it and see what happens 😀
We do have Police out on the roads. The problem is there is no money in booking someone for anything other than speeding or using a mobile phone so they don't bother. I was pulled over once for taking off from the lights too fast. Zero spin and no traction loss just accelerated like I stole my manual Commodore VN with a marked cop land rover beside me at the lights that I knew was beside me. They tried to say that I had to be speeding because they had to break the speed limit (without lights or sirens) to catch up to me because unlike that crappy roll over rover I didn't need to go below the speed limit around the curves. No fines just a warning to not do what I can legally do mainly because every time they saw me I was doing the exact speed limit with no brake lights. :)

Push bike rider at 13.55 was farkin’ hilarious. Knobhead didn’t dismount for the crossing and went arse up. Hahah Then flapped about like it was the car drivers fault. Love a good push bike rider’s comeuppance.
The falcon doing burnouts to Mozart was beautiful 👌🏻
Couldn't tell you if the first one was a Falcon, but the music was Vivaldi
It's Vivaldi...
"The falcon doing burnouts at all was stupid" - there i fixed it for you.

This week on “Get that person off the f#*%ing road!”
I’m not sure what’s worse, watching some of the drivers or listening to the “ I got that on dash cam…heee heee heee”
Welcome to this week's episode of "Awful narcissists And Their Peanut Brains"!
And that's just the dashcammers!
I realize a small handheld wouldn't have done much on that last one but an extinguisher is always wise to carry and can put out a fire at the start before it goes crazy. Hope all are ok 👍
And, even if it can't stop the fire, it can suppress it enough for people to escape or for others with bigger extinguishers to arrive to help or for the Firies to show up. Fire extinguishers are should minimum equipment for all vehicles.
12:46 good reactions from DC driver. Barely ever see people attempting to avoid wildlife these days, even when the road is completely clear of other traffic.
The other day me and my mate where driving around in my brothers car and we were talking about how someone accidentally wrote my car off because they hit a kangaroo (the fire wall got damaged) and I kid you not I came around the next corner and 3 kangaroos jumped out in front of us luckily I managed to miss all 3.
@@lokiwiseyt8608 If they could talk, they probably would've said something like "And we'll fucken do it again"
00:50 - I was going to say 'Calm down'. Just give them a quick beep and let it go - then the next bit happened 😂
OKIE DOKIE DEN!!! anyone else notice the dude yell FUCKEN IDIOT!! at the falcon driver for curbing himself yet they both ran the red lmao
Nope.
No one.
Not one person noticed this.
Just you
All three had plenty of time to slow and stop, but chose to speed through, if police had been there, all of them would get fined.
Hey at least the high speed chase, the car used their indicator?? Maybe worth something
"Break only one law at a time. If you have a dead body in your trunk, be sure to use your turn signals."
9:40 Thanks for going through the red so we could see the ute crash. Much appreciated.
10:57 Part of Logan. Not that surprising :D
13:52 Wet painted lines. The bane of all bicycle / motorcycle riders. Good to see he got up and was ok (unlike the girl I saw today (appeared full of drugs / irrational) who lay half on the road / half on the footpath for quite a while (even when people showed up to ask her if she's ok and she ignored them)
16:29 And people wonder why I look for the reverse lights when walking behind cars. Of course the car is required to look but I don't trust people.
17:00 It's a taxi. Expect the worse, never be disappointed. I've been crashed into by taxis so many times (usually when I'm stationary - Most of the in motion ones I dodge)
17:29 Can breath again now. Glad that rider escaped that. Could have meant broken ribs or worse.
Do people actually wonder?
5:22 Probably worth watching this clip to think how you might have responded in this situation.
I don't know if the daschcam driver had a vehicle behind them or if they had better visibility than I can see (I can't see much of this on my phone), but I can see something there that _might_ have been a human nearly getting run over.
Sometimes you've got to respond fast and I think the car in the left lane that stopped did well.
I thought you were talking about the truck in the left lane with high beams spotting a pedestrian on the road and the dc overtaking at the time meant the truck couldn't get as much out the way as it would have liked. But the clip you link appears to be an accidental pit manoeuvre and it took out the headlight of one of the spinning cars (the other looks like it spun to the left off the road). Certainly on my phone screen that was how it appeared, but yes, the DC (and car to the left of them) were lucky not to become part of that accident!
@@TonyHamlyn I know you're on a phone so you may of missed it. But the Electronic Sign was displaying "Breakdown in left shoulder" "use caution" before the collusion of the broken down vehicle and the car that colluded with the broken down car and spun. I am assuming someone wasn't paying attention too the big sign warning them of a hazard that could have prevented the accident.
@@ShaxxARoo Those signs are bullshit half the time, gives ya trust issues.. Same with the digital speed signs. Going from 100 to 80 to 100 again.. for what? Causes traffic.
@FTKSoky tl;dr ignore warning signs after 500m or so unless its a VMS because they just use the closest one. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
i can shed some light on them at least. There are behavior monitoring cameras all over most major motorways in australia, and people observing from TMR can remotely set a wide variety of messages on the VMS boards around. Protocol is that warning board is the absolute last thing to go, so if you see that warning and see no event, theres a good chance the tow truck is well ahead of you and you just missed the action.
For the variable speeds, every square cut into the road you drive over is an induction coil. Two close together are used to track traffic speeds and types, basically like a permanent version of pneumatic hoses used for survey computers. There are computers analysing this information constantly, and when certain conditions are met they automatically reduce the speed, or TMR can manually instate reduction zones. They typically start far enough back that noone has a reduction greater than 20 in one go, and are timed so everyone passing the next reduction (100 permanent, reduced to 80, then 60 for example) has seen the previous one too, then reverted in reverse order. Some incidents like phantom crashes (some event where someone causes a ripple effect bringing congested traffic to a near stop despite no actual collision) can meet these conditions.
Basically, when it comes to temporary road signage, always treat it like its in effect for at least 500m, by which point you would have seen something else related to it.
To put in perspective why this has to be this way, think of things like highway lane closures. We have to put signs down both shoulders typically, and cannot cross the road. This means we run a convoy loop down one side, then leave the roadway entirely, run a lap, and then do the other side followed by a closure. What this looks like to motorists on that side is a lot of warning signs, and not a single thing actually happening until the loop back is done, which might be 10-20 minutes depending on where it is. When packing up, the closure has to go, we pack up the obstruction, we loop around to the start, pack up one side, loop around and pack up the other. This, again, looks like a lot of warning for nothing. Just remember 500m and 1km and you're golden to ignore it for the most part. 500m for temporary traffic warning signs, 1km for speed advisory signs.
I say thise distances because its required that if a road is not a default speed (50 built up, 100 non), there must be a speed sign passed within 1km of traversal from any point on the road, and the AGTTM and MUTCD specify distances always shorter than 500m for TC signage placement (500m is the farthest, typically its 15-200m depending on speed and signs used)
Thank you.
That's a lot to unpack...

9:48 He may have been an ‘effing idiot’ however you, him and the car ahead of you ALL went through an orange light ~~
Seems to me you are the pot calling the kettle black ! You’re all just as bad as each other, in a hurry, for what ???
Orange doesn’t mean stop 🤣🤦🏻♂️
@@CORNERSUNDERATTACK~~ actually, this is what the rules say “……. to safely stop or safely go through depending on your speed and distance from the light.” The three cars should have stopped as they could have done so safely ~~ it was u safe to go through the light as they all did !
@@CORNERSUNDERATTACK Amber means slow down and prepare to stop. You can and will get fined for running an Amber. It is still treated as a red light.
The ute went through a yellow light - yes, if it was safe to stop, he/she should have. But that driver clearly had no intention of stopping.
The dash cam vehicle actually crossed the line on a red light. (He also had no intention of stopping)
3:00 - I mean at least he was nice enough to use his indicators while being chased.
2:57 When you are run from the cops but still indicate for the turn.
1:30 I fkin agree. Take away their fking license.

Amongst the maniacs, we have HEROES - should be a warning to the lunatics as what could happen. Hope all were safe.
16:27 This is a case of bad situational awareness and assuming what a driver is going to do.
Instead, allow them to make their move before choosing your path/direction of travel.
No, this is a case of a driver almost killing someone through negligence. The pedestrian of course could have used more self awareness but what excuses would you use if it was a blind person or a runaway child or an animal? Time to stop shifting blame onto pedestrians for existing and start holding dangerous drivers to account. Driving comes with a responsibility to protect the safety and lives of others and if you can't do that you should never be allowed to drive.
@@mrawesome9219 It's a very very fast darwin award for people who walk behind reversing cars.
People with disabilities, of course have somewhat of an excuse, but dude looked like he was able, and still chose to walk behind a reversing car.
I had this almost happen a week ago, pulled into officeworks, parking lot was full, i checked all around, looked behind twice, and reversed to let someone out.
in pops mr dickhead who sees me reverse 2 metres, and STILL decides to walk behind me.
Some people are just fucking stupid.
LOL NO? The driver would have saw a pedestrian crossing the car park yet the driver decides to do a high speed reverse after they just just saw a pedestrian about to cross right infront of them???
@@Adrian-lc6jq Probably safe to think that the car driver, would assume someone who drives, wouldn't be stupid enough to walk behind a reversing vehicle.
People are stupid, as this video shows, and too many people are stupid enough to walk behind a reversing car nowdays.
Justify it however you want, I know that I'll never walk behind a reversing vehicle, because... I don't want to get hit?
Yea shit happens, but I'm kinda someone who doesn't wanna get run over!
@@johnnichol9412 it's not a "shared zone". It's a car park, in which the rules of the road apply. Do you wander across roads & expect cars to stop for you? If so, good luck with that.

Instead, he decided to turn left at a non existing left 😂
Do people consider it a day job to drive around looking for footage and when they do loudly announce that it is going on to Dash Cams? or does merely mentioning the name enter you into some secret lottery for merch?
The number of drivers that simply fail to give way is staggering! It's just a thought, but maybe they should have this thing where we have police on the roads or something like that. I know it's a bit "out there" but maybe they should try it and see what happens 😀
We do have Police out on the roads. The problem is there is no money in booking someone for anything other than speeding or using a mobile phone so they don't bother.
I was pulled over once for taking off from the lights too fast. Zero spin and no traction loss just accelerated like I stole my manual Commodore VN with a marked cop land rover beside me at the lights that I knew was beside me. They tried to say that I had to be speeding because they had to break the speed limit (without lights or sirens) to catch up to me because unlike that crappy roll over rover I didn't need to go below the speed limit around the curves. No fines just a warning to not do what I can legally do mainly because every time they saw me I was doing the exact speed limit with no brake lights. :)
15:40 ahh yes the E.S.V. (Emotional Support Vehicle) of choice. None other than the Ford Ranger.

They don't, because diesel and petrol fires don't burn hot enough to melt concrete -- but lithium ion battery thermal runaway events do.
