    People don't realise they can ruin someone's life FOREVER by being a dickhead behind the wheel. My brother in law's 3 year old daughter became paralised because some 27 yo asshole decided it was a good idea to drive on the wrong side of the road while drunk! Please be more careful on the roads people. You are not only dealing with your own lives but also other innocent people's lives too.

      Damn that's tragic.
      I had my Ls in both NSW and the ACT. In the ACT you do a multi hour course over two days before you get your Ls where they spend most of the time reinforcing the potencial consequences of reckless driving. This included showing documentaries about people who had ruined their own lives and the lives of others, including killing friends, through their reckless driving. Those docos were hard to watch even for a desensitised 18 year old male which I was at the time. They have stayed in my mind till now a decade later.
      ACT does this course in lieu of the 120 hours behind the wheel imposed in NSW and frankly I think it is a much better use of time. Most people fake a bunch of their hours in NSW anyways. Sitting someone down in a small group away from their mates and showing them the real tragedy and horror that can occur on the road is much more impactful.

      @@goaway9977 While not being in any Emergency Response I have assisted police at accident sites over the decades, even to closing the Newell Highway on the northern outskirts of Dubbo in 1977 because of a "Fatal". I was 2nd on the scene. First on the scene was a former Highway Patrol Constable Chris C...... and he was busy stabilizing two pre teen girls he'd got out of the vehicle they were in. The father of one of the girls died later that day in Dubbo Base Hospital.

      @@goaway9977 agreed. I honestly tried to get the 120 hours under my belt the honest way but I had no one in my life eligible to be my passenger (my father was taking care of my mother with Alzheimer's while also working) and I couldn't afford to pay $40 ph to someone for 120 hours.
      What I ended up doing was driving by myself around the back streets of Wollongong without my Ls, hoping I wouldn't get nicked.
      Never been in an accident with another vehicle but once spun out at the top of Macquarie Pass when it was extremely wet. It really woke me up because on that road there are B-doubles charging through all the time.

      I was in a box truck as a passenger once going down the freeway near Geelong. We were in the far right lane and I realized from the muted Tom Tom (this was in '09) that we were about to miss our exit. As I realized the driver was sketchy (I only just started working there), I just thought "better let it go, it will quietly recalculate after we miss the exit and nobody will know".
      Then my idiot PhD American middle passenger yelled "YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE EXIT". Well, this Tourette's/Asperger's driver cut across three lanes without even looking and a B-Double doing 100 k narrowly missed us.
      After that, I decided I would rather be fired than put up with sketchy breaking of safety.

      Watching that car doing donuts, my first thought was: that looks exactly like the start of the January 2017 Melbourne car attack, where some dropkick was doing donuts at Flinders and Swanston before he drove up to Bourke St Mall and killed and injured a bunch of people (6 and 27 respectively).
      I was at work a couple of blocks away, kinda halfway between the donuts and the murders - not in any danger myself, but jeez it made an impression. Any situation like this now, I assume the driver wants to kill people.

      Yes you are right, but people do not know the rules in different merge situations. Dashcam owner's lane is ending, and he has to cross the dashed lines. That means he had to give way. Does not matter which car is in front or trailing - that only applies if there are no markings on the road. Called the other guy a f'ing idiot, but he was the f'ing idiot who - like many - don't know what the merging rules are. When there are markings like that, it means give way if you have to merge across them. Same rule applies when merging onto a freeway, if you have to cross the dashed lines you must give way. So annoying when people fail to do that.

      The cammer was crossing a broken white line. He is required to yield to vehicles already in the other lane, no matter what that vehicle is doing. Because there are no ifs, buts or maybes in the Australian Road Rules, that puts him 100% at fault under the law, but insurance may try to push some of the blame onto the other driver for not avoiding the collision.

    8:10 I spent a few years working in the office building there at 423 Pennant Hills Road and would make a left turn out of this street on my way home every day.
    This exact scenario probably happens every day. I dealt with people trying to turn right when I was turning left countless times.

      2:00 without the leadup it could be an honest mistake. You can encroach into an intersection on green, given the number of people these days running late Reds, it is possible they just got trapped, with people already coming across.
