I mean, are they not idiots? Honestly though, I want to find the person responsible for passing this down to their kids. This kinda thing is multi-generational and absolutely blind to race and gender. It also appears to have no cares at all to where you are from or where you are. Indeed, stupid is as stupid does.
To the guy who claimed that is Tucson he needs to stop being a lying sack of shit. That is San Diego California not Tucson Arizona. He took a video of a area that looks similar and lied his ass off. That roach motel was on a cable show I saw decades ago and also on multiple Cops episodes I saw back in the 1990s. It looks similar because those hotels were owned and made by the same company but the Motel in Tucson does not have a second floor while the California one does.
I still find it amazing that people are brave enough to submit a clip where they were clearly in the wrong. They should be using your videos in driver's education classes. Thanks for sharing.
Some of them believe they weren't the one that screwed up. And that last one said his wife was the driver, so it wasn't the driver posting it. Some actually are posted by the person who screwed up, though, and they do admit it.
@@SiegeGamingElites i own one of those cars, that's not an old light going out, that's genuinely just how dim they are, super sketch and I changed mine almost immediately
I get that the gray car is an idiot, but you don’t play around when you have a truck, Imagine he caused an accident and then not only kill the person in the gray car but also the people around them.
Whether you think he was an idiot or not I think that very first clip could be considered attempted murdered. I mean you rammed him off the road. What if him hitting the ditch ended up being alot more fatal for the people in that van or worse he went into the oncoming lane and created a big car pile up killing who knows how many. The guy in the truck is one more idiot in the McDonald's drive thru area away from gunning down 20 people. I mean idiots are idiots but you can't kill people for being idiots.
@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 You can't just convict people with attempted murder if you can't prove it was their intention to kill anyone. Aggravated assault maybe.
From my experience, drivers are usually a lot better in urban areas. Lot more shit you need to watch out for and be aware of. As soon as you leave a city drivers are just awful
Interesting how the use of the horn has evolved over time. It was first introduced as a warning signal to alert other road users of your approach, particularly helpful when the other individual /driver was either facing or looking the other way. Today's horns seem to be used primarily as a way to express anger and frustration....or bleep out all the swear words.
Using my horn is always so far out of my awareness I can't remember the last time I've used it. Virtually always an event happens so quickly there's no time to use the horn because doing so is AT THE EXPENSE of your ability to maneuver the vehicle. You lose 50% of your control ability in order to use the horn, and that's agility you could/SHOULD be using to AVOID whatever situation you're in. SO OFTEN I see these dashcam videos where someone could have EASILY avoided a crash by braking or turning or maneuvering, but instead they mash the horn and drive right into someone, often with SECONDS of non-reaction other than honking, and you always see some idiot commenting that "if it's not your fault you shouldn't swerve to avoid an accident, just hit them".
@@RobertMorgan Same here. I have been driving for 18 years and I don't recall honking anyone even once. If I see anyone pull out/stop in front of me, my instinct is to break/turn and to avoid an accident. Seems like lots of people do it the other way around. They'd rather honk to "assert their right" or "teach them a lesson" and plow into the other car doing that. I just don't get it.
I use the horn only for waking up people on the traffic lights when it’s a green light for 5 seconds and they are not moving. Usually texting someone. I just press horn for a split second, so it’s not an aggressive signal.
5:40 is the exact reason whenever I see someone flying up behind me, I don’t change anything i’m doing. We can’t predict their next move so it’s best not to add a new variable to the situation.
It’s a fairly reasonable assumption to think, “oh they’re going faster than me and the passing lane is open- they’re going to pass me”. WHY did that guy swerve? egotistical I’m betting lol
Looks like they may have hit black ice. if you watch closely, the SUV kinda swerved/skidded a little and lingered in-between lanes, And the driver SHOULD have had plenty of time to slow down/stop yet slammed into the car anyway. Looks like he tried to go to the left of the car. The problem is, if it was in fact ice you CAN NOT break hard/fast but yea the driver was still flying which he definitely shouldn't have been. He should have been going much slower which would have given him more time to slow down before getting close to the SUV.
@@Shcroft2 no, I think that was the correct move. one less risk factor on the road for a few days. the man did his highway a service. and the best part is he's most likely gonna get a new car, because he really didn't care what happened to the one he was driving
The clip at 4:52 scared the crap out of me. About four months ago me and my mom were in a similar crash. A woman just drove straight into us from behind a stop sign. My car got totaled. Luckily everyone were okay, just some bruises. Honestly the whole situation was just like in movies, that kinda surprised me. At first when I saw the car it was already too late. I just thought "oh this is a dream". As the car crashed into us I still believed I was dreaming, it was only when we hit the ditch nearby I realised it was actually happening. Scariest thing that's ever happened to me. You always think that shit like that would never happen to you but it can happen to anyone. Drive safe out there people.
I had a friend that was also in a crash like that except it didn't happen at night It happened during the day. Thank God no one was really injured. my friend just had a few bruises. I was almost in a crash, like that. After pulling out of a parking lot, I was about ready to go ahead and go because there were no cars coming all the sudden. This car appears right beside me, nearly hitting me. I was able to swerve out of the way and avoid it. But I nearly hit the side rails.
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13
it was daylight when something like this happened to me, but there was a school bus beside me, and they turned right onto another street, and a car turned left(going to the other side of traffic crossing in front of me) instantly when the bus started turning instead of waiting to actually be able to see. i had about 1 second of real time to react and it seriously did feel like a dream. both my baby’s were in the car, no one was hurt but jesus that shits terrifying
I got T-boned this summer by some hick running a red light and it really does feel like a dream. It’s the brains way of coping with trauma because believe it or not crashes are traumatic.
It really does feel unreal, like slow motion. It made me think about how in near death experiences, ppl say their whole life flashes before their eyes; you always assume it’s just a figure of speech but after experiencing the weird dream-time of a car accident or something similar it makes you realise ppl might legitimately be experiencing their whole lives and it’s not just a metaphor
He wasnt giving a thumbs up, he was actually placing a hand on his stomach. This is common after something happens around you in CZ, it it like a sign of "OMG, thank God it was ok".
I think it was just the lighting and the camera. If you look at other cars the windshields are black as well except where there is light from the side window behind it.
1:56 what a human reaction by the two people walking. They both place their hands to their chest and are relieved they didn't just see a gnarly accident in front of them lol
My bad i missed the car cause i had no idea wtf I was meant to look at. I hate when people try to pass cars for no reason and expect the road to be empty
2:28 the amount of times I’ve almost gotten plowed over by truck drivers doing this is absolutely insane. They shouldn’t have a license if they do that.
To be a truck driver you got to be a darn good driver. Just because you’ve been driving a car for years doesn’t mean you could drive a truck well. Some people just shouldn’t be a truck driver if they don’t understand how big it is and how complicated the turns are.
almost got crushed from a semi the other day when the idiot didn’t check his mirrors to see me in the lane he was trying to switch into.. if i didn’t blast my horn holy shit
Truckers are the most overrated industry. People have been propping them up as heroes because they keep the technoindustrial consoomer system in operation. It goes to their head, gives them an ego, they think they're special and can drive like the guy in this clip, or like they can just sit in the passing lane doing 2mph more than the travelling lane. I'm so happy every time I see a clip of one of those assholes wrecking here
@@narcissus1111, if you have the opportunity to not drive along with a semi do it. I never want to be in their blind spot. If I can, I drive right past them and not be beside them.
The amount of hit and runs here has drastically increased. Just a while ago, my car got hit by an old man, who promptly fled the scene. Luckily for me, the accident caused his license plate to come off, which is how he was ultimately tracked down by the police. He stated that he had an "urgent appointment" he couldn't miss, which is why he fled the scene.
As someone who moved to the US recently and drove my whole life in India, I am watching these videos to see what to be careful about before starting to drive here. Some of the accidents look totally avoidable to me as I am used to these sudden oncomings on my way and I feel I am very vigilant to these. (though I should not judge sitting on a couch)
I have heard driving in India is kind of wild compared to the USA. your country sounds very focused on defensive driving which is something many in the US lack so you're ahead of the game and can probably teach us a thing or two!
@@aubreymorgan9763 it's just that we consider all the objects surrounding the road as potential intruders and be ready to brake if they start moving towards the road. By the way now I drove here and this thing is much difficult here since you are going at much higher speed and you are always afraid of getting rear ended if you brake suddenly. So it's not as easy as I was thinking.
@@HarshModiHave you gotten more used to it since then? I find that driving at high speeds is okay as long as you look waaay ahead of you to know when you need to slow down
the fact that you even have to educate yourself on driving here is sad. i wish american drivers weren’t so terrible :( everyday i fear for my life driving in atlanta. i got a dash and rear cam because of it

6:00 I think he looked, I reckon he got confused since the driver used the signal early, you don't signal early when there is an intersection before a set of lights, that's a recipe to crash.
@@oliviaconti6064 Don't believe blinkers because of people like the cammer... When i see blinkers i always wait to see if the are acually slowing down.
That is why you never assume someone is going to turn until they actually begin too. The cammer was not braking yet, so the car that pulled out should've waited to see where the cammer was planning on turning. That was very avoidable
I love that you put those little descriptions and took the time to talk to some of the people that sent you those clips. It sets a higher bar for what this kind of content can offer!
5:39 I mean I'm with them on the fact that the car moved over and they should have no fault in this. However, it appears they were hauling ass in that footage. Just something to think about.
The person with the camera was straddling the line when they hit the car in front, and they tried to pass before it had a chance to get over. The person in front was being an idiot, but you're not allowed to just ram them over it.
@@Br3ttM The person in front freaked out when they saw someone barreling at them going 30 over the speed limit, then couldn't figure out what the hell to do when said car drifted over with them. The cammer's at fault here.
@@rockspoon6528 You're taught with motorcycles to stay the same speed and lane position. In this case the car shouldn't have moved over and the crash would have been prevented. You'd just apply above and stay in your lane+speed.
@@dutifulbarrel9084 The overtaking vehicle wasn't in the passing lane, so your point is moot. The driver in front likely just saw a complete maniac about to rear-end him, and tried to get out of the way just to have the guy track him
Yeah, I really don't think I can say that the truck driver did anything wrong . . . that asshole didn't need to pull up on him that fast only to slow down in his blind spot and get in his way . . .
Lol truck driver knew he was being used as a part of the SUV drivers game... Got fully aware of it when he continues to sit in his blind spot and swerves towards him at one point and the truck did not want any more of his shit😭
5:41 "I shouldn't have been trying to pass him" WTF? There was no other car around! And the car in front of him was already accelerating away from him.
it's probably like that situation in public where you are about to run into a person and so both of you move one side out of the way at the exact same time and then when both people see that they turn back to the side they were walking at the same time before they finally pass each other
More like "I'm sorry buddy, I was speeding so fast that there was no way for me to avoid you. It was completely irresponsible of me to try to pass you at such a high rate of speed."
It wasnt the 1st guys excuse for lane straddling, he was telling the cammer "You shouldn't have tried to pass me". Theres a ton of people out there that think "Oh, this guys coming up behind me at a high speed, he's obviously breaking the law. I need to stop him" and usually end up causing accidents. If someone is speeding, let the cops take care of it, don't use yourself to lane block and hope they can slow down in time
@@Zentredeye to me it looks like that the cammer was coming so close without switching lanes that the driver in front thought he wasnt going to switch so he moved out of the way at the same time as the cammer then seeing each other move like that they tried move back to their original lane but did it at the same time its really up to interpretation when there is so little context
@@topphatt1312 it looks like going from the left most turn lane across a four lane road to get to the right turn lane there, which ye I'd be pretty pissed at watching someone go across traffic like that too.

@@SphereOfStreaming that's why I get so frustrated when I hear people say weed isn't bad, because even though it may not physically harm you (unless you get given something laced with something or synthetic) it still puts you in a different state of mind which can cause you to have impaired judgement and slow your reaction time. I've seen weed destroy people's lives, and it usually leads to other forms of substance abuse which are more dangerous.
To all the 14, 15, and 16 year olds learning to drive, depending on where you live: Whenever you feel like you suck at driving, remember there are full grown adults *with a driving license* who are *even worse at driving than you* , and you'll get better over time ❤ At the time of writing this im 15 and learning to drive so im also trying to reassure myself lolz
Yep- a month ago an adult ran into my mom’s parked car that I was driving to school and work. I was devastated and so was she, but the guy had insurance and he’s paying for its damages. Thought that would never happen to me, cause I’m a fairly decent driver at 17, but nope it did.
@lovecupcakex642 I'm gonna be 17 in April. I'm a half decent driver for my age. Fastest I've ever gone is 80, but that was in Nevada where that's literally the speed limit.

5:51 what he said doesn’t matter. What you SHOULD have been doing is paying attention. You had plenty of time to stop even if he hit his brakes for no good reason. It’s why legal follow distances are set as they are.
@@presley-dj8nv so, you don’t think that if the person following was moving slower and paying attention they may have avoided the crash? That’s generally how I do it. I just …. Don’t aggressively drive into the rear of a car in front of me. It’s that easy! Bad weather conditions increase stopping distance. Other drivers driving poorly can be a real problem. You have to adjust your own driving. Or, you can enjoy spending time in a hospital and having to get a new car. I think option A saves more time.
@@Lenny3x You don't know the actual speed as the only frame of reference is the driver in front who slammed on the brakes +5 seconds before impact. So the car in front both changed lanes (more like swerved back and forth) with no signal and slammed on the brakes while doing so in order to ensure the cammer had nowhere to go.
The driver in front not only slammed on their brakes but they also swerved back in forth through the lanes to ensure they were hit. There are no "legal follow distances" on the books only the 2-3 second rule that people tend to follow. Considering the car in front slammed on their brakes and started swerving to ensure impact 5 seconds before the accident....
8:38 this is an illegal merge. When making a turn at a multi turn lane intersection you have to stay in your lane until you have made the turn then once you are straight you can use your turn signal to merge lanes.
5:39 Who is at fault? The dashcam driver is clearly speeding, but the driver in front did not use a blinker to shift lanes. They both had the right of way.
The dashcam driver is at fault provided this is America or the UK. The laws in other countries vary slightly but in those two countries, if you rear-end another vehicle you are at fault for all the damages, even if you got rear-ended to cause the rear-end.
i mean as everyone else has said, the guy with the camera is going way too fast.. but the person he rear ended also shouldn't have suddenly moved to the left without signaling. It could go either way but I imagine the one speeding was found at fault simply because he was clearly driving above the speed limit and created an unsafe situation.
@@PerpetuusTenebris I mean, I don't doubt this is true in a lot of cases, but do you have a source that demonstrates it always the case? Because it seems rather illogical to operate that way, IMO of course.
Guy in front was 100% at fault, he did it on purpose you can see his brake lights come on before he swerves. He wanted to bully someone into slowing down but got more than he bargained for. Even if the guy was speeding, which we don't actually know, he could have been in an emergency or an undercover cop car. The SUV driver has none of this information, he just did it to try and feel like a big man.
@@PerpetuusTenebris that is completely false. I rear ended someone and I was found to be at no fault. My vehicle and medical was paid by their insurance.
I like the way of your editing and choices of clips. 5:54 I heard a turn signal come on. Not that other drivers should always believe them. But I wonder.
@@nicolemoroso3361 Should've waited until he was past the driveway then. But then again the other driver should never assume what the turn signal is for and wait until it's clear
Almost happen to me once I thought a lady need to get in where I was at but when I started to inching out she start to go again because her passenger pointing at something to make the driver stopped.
5:42 when was mr camera man planning on passing? He waited till the last second to get in the other lane and had zero time to react. The guy who swerved didn’t respond correctly but I can’t fault him for likely being terrified at the sudden overtaking. Seriously this wreck happens way too fast, just goes to show how the camera man was the one being negligent
I agree, it would defintely be uncomfortably close, but I trust that the cameraman driver was definitely going to switch lanes just in time. I understand but am disappointed in the other driver, yes itd be spooky for someone to be hualing ass like that but you HAVE to trust the drive to switch lanes in oder to minimize chances of accidents. Both at fault, i personally think the driver ahead had more fault than the speeder though.
The Black SUV was found to be completely at fault. The cammer didn't 'wait till the last second', he moved to the open lane way before and then was forced to respond when the SUV swerved back and forth. What do you mean ''terrified'? Do you start swerving when an ambulance passes you at speed? You don't even know if he was over the speed limit or in an emergency, imagine trying to defend the fool swerving like that 🙄
@@Hankblue An ambulance doesn't pass me at speed because I pull over like the law says to. An Emergency does not mean you can speed either, you dial 911 if there is an emergency that cannot wait. A lady tried to use that defense in court because her kid was unconscious, the judge asked did you dial 911 and when she said no the charges were upheld. Here that would be called an unsafe lane change or reckless driving. If you pause the video before the guy swerves he has just started his lane change about 2 and half car lengths away, while going almost double the speed. Even if he finished the lane change at that point and the guy didn't swerve he would have just barely missed the guys bumper. You also don't do quick lane changes at high speed when there is snow on the ground.
@@Azsunes That makes no sense, if you pull over the ambulance will pass you at speed. In fact the speed difference between your vehicles will increase if you stop on the highway. If you suddenly become 'terrified' and swerve all over the road when a vehicle comes up behind you at speed, you're not a functional member of society. (This guy wasn't terrified btw, he just wanted to bully someone into not overtaking him so he slammed on brakes and started swerving between lanes). Actually an emergency does mean you can speed, in the same way that a deadly threat means you can use lethal force. The authorities still need to verify your story, but 9 times out of 10 if you can show a reasonable basis for speeding you won't be penalised. Not that any of this matters for this case, because we cannot verify that he was over the speed limit, and the person in the black SUV is not a walking odometer. I don't know why you're mentioning 911, the black SUV had 0 information about whether that person had called or was on the line with 911. He doesn't know whether there was a car shooting at the camera from behind, he doesn't know if it was an undercover cop. He just felt like playing a stupid game to feel like a big man, and that's why he won't get a cent from his insurance.
@@Hankblue I was stating the law that you do not maintain speed for an Ambulance, you pull over and come to a complete stop if it is safe to do so. I also did not say the driver called 911, you said it was ok to speed if it is an Emergency. There have been many court rulings that have an emergency is no reason to speed, if it is life threatening call 911.
5:42 I’m with the guy that got rear ended, the driver with the camera was driving way too fast and barely switched last minute, I would’ve switched lanes to let someone pass me but cmon
@@ivanhernandez7395 yes he was and he purposely did it and even stopped just to get hit. the cam guy started switching lanes at a pretty good distance for the guy to see so no it wasn't at the last minute. it was his fault and he deserved to get hit.
5:39 Cammer was driving pretty fast given the road conditions. Rear-ended guy had a couple of choices on how to react, but hitting the brakes should NOT have been in the playbook. Initial fault lies on the cammer, but, seeing how the other guy reacted, I think the cammer ends up as the "victim" in this case since his option(s) aside from "not speeding" were taken away from him. My go to play whenever a guy is running up hot on me (surprisingly often out in Eastern WA) is to just stay the course. Only two options: I get rear-ended and the fault lies strictly on Mr. Hot Wheels, meaning I'm coming out with covered repairs/a new vehicle or Mr. Wheels gets in the passing lane after getting within 1 or 2 car spaces of me, goes about his day, and I'll reach my destination without incident. Being predictable is probably the best thing to do in a situation like that. I've only been driving for 9 years (unlike you salty vets of the pavement), but I have yet to be rear-ended, so I must be doing something right, right? Also, I can't give weight to the caption on the alleged exchange the drivers had, but if it were true, then fault continues to shift towards Mr. Not-so-Hot Wheels for making the worst out of a bad situation on purpose rather than simply reacting poorly to the situation. It sounds terrible, given that the interaction stems from how fast the cammer was driving, but I don't think there is anything more than a speeding ticket awaiting that guy.
Roughly half this video could be labeled as "self-incriminating reckless drivers." If you see someone in front of you doing something reckless or dangerous, you don't run full speed ahead into their path.
A person did that once lucky the truck slow down to not hit them if the truck and other driver got into the accident I would’ve been a witness for the truck driver because my dashcam was recording whole thing.
At some point in time someone has to realize that the majority of the drivers in the US are not smart enough to navigate a double turn lane successfully and shouldn't be used anymore.
we have a lot of roundabouts in my country and im happy that way. they're much safer. its not that crossings are unnecessarily complicated tbh, although they might require a bit more attention. every little thing counts to prevent accidents
0:50 I can’t stand when people stop in the middle of the road after something like this. Your car isn’t damaged. Get over it and don’t create a dangerous situation and make it everyone else’s problem.
yeah ive had a few close calls like this happen before (never in big intersections) sliding around on ice, idiots on the road etc. i always just pull into a parking lot to contemplate and get my head together lol
I'm 17 and I'm still learning to drive with a permit. I like watching these videos because besides laughing at idiots and being entertained, i like reading the advice the senders give out to other drivers, too. Thankfully the only close calls I've been in was me as a passenger with my dad, but I really do appreciate the extra advice!
@@troublesome726 uhhh....the person that rear ended is saying that they rear ended the Lexus so how would the person have purchased a Lexus if that's the car they didn't buy. I think you got the people mixed up lol. They had to pay the Lexus driver.
As a person who got their license in Maryland at 22 because I was terrified of Maryland drivers, most of my drivers Ed class was watching crashing videos…that’s it. We learned with the road signs mean and then after that we watched dash cam crash videos of what not to do. You go through three sessions of drive time with an instructor and that’s it.
@nameless aquarius I may be harsh. But atleast im not a 22 year old child. Like saying you didnt get a job until you were 26 because the managers seemed scary
3:35 - oh no, it's worse than the caption - the car started pulling out for a left turn into the closest lane, but then changed their mind and tried to U around in the opposite direction. "Checking both ways" was not the issue here, bailing halfway through a turn was.
5:38 Fault is on the dashcam driver. Going WAY too fast on that lane, wasn't even in the passing lane. The car in front of them was trying to get out of their way but the speeder was already changing lanes and confused that driver.
Wrong. The suv was found liable for all Damages and was fined for illegal lane change and failure to maintain lanes. The dash cam says he was doing 68mph but there's no proof that is solid enough for court to say otherwise. So even if he was speeding there's isn't proof
5:56 the driver put his turn indicator on way too early. You can hear it. The other guy in the SUV did look: he saw the driver signaling a turn. Any experienced driver would interpret that as "I'm going to turn in to that parking lot". I would've made the same move as the SUV. If I were hit, I would believe I was not at fault.
This was actually how my first accident happened but the cop was friends with girls mom and so he said I was in the wrong and that you need to wait even if they are indicating a turn.
Definitely not. I get what you are saying, but an experienced driver would have waited for the cammer to slow down and begin entering the parking lot before moving out into traffic. There are too many idiots on the road to assume that they will do what you think they will. The blinker was turned on way too early, but that does not mean the SUV should have assumed he was turning right there.
@@ElSnail I have at least learned from my mistake. The accident happened only about a month after I had my license and I was leaving school and I had a bus behind me and I was sitting at the stop sign for an extremely long time and thought it was safe to go since the girls blinker was on but I was wrong
This is why you never assume someone is turning even if they have they’re blinker on. They may have left it on and not notice it or they’re turning further past where you are
At 5:43, I would have been scared if I saw somebody speeding up behind me too and changed lanes to avoid a collision. Getting rear ended like that is dangerous.
If I see someone going extremely fast behind me, I usually just stay out and keep my speed steady. If they’re driving unreasonably fast, then it’s likely they’re going to pass me so they can continue going fast. Trying to change lanes myself might complicate things and cause an accident, which is likely what happened in that clip
@@alexsolano27 and even then if you don’t move at all and they still hit you it’s the easiest case available rather then trying to move for them since if they rear end you while speeding theres really no way to justify it
Unless you have clear signs that the other person doesnt have the car under control, you should never do that and just keep doing what you're doing. Even in that situation you should probably just keep going at a constant speed in your current lane since, if you do not do that, you'll be adding acceleration to your car making it harder in the case of a crash That said, the cam driver should never be going at those speeds with those climate conditions and, at the very least, he should have changed lanes sooner to keep the minimum security distance at those speeds
@@lengors7327 if they are battling straight towards you, that is a very clear sign that they are about to hit you. Why else would somebody do that? If they intended to change lanes, then they would put on their blinker and change lanes way before they became a clear and present danger.
@@haydenduncan2384 It isn't uncommon to signal into a new lane shortly before it appears. I think I saw the driver in that clip comment that they were signalling their intent for that maneuver.
@@LethitaNemedian your supposed to signal 100 feet before switching lanes or turning. That guy did it Wayyy to fucking early I’m surprised he even got his license
@@tuggxs7637 Additionally, though, the SUV should have learned that you do not trust blinkers. I mean the driver was not slowing down whatsoever so why would you assume they are going to slam on the brakes and hook it into the parking lot. Just wait for people to begin making their turns before pulling out. Both are at fault
the guy at 5:38 is totally at fault wtf lol. That dude looked like he was going way above the speed limit... I'm pretty sure the insurance company saw this and put the driver at fault that rear ended that guy
@@Ham_1D it's irrelevant. The guy struck him from behind period...... Automatically at fault, what's even more daming is he was accelerating. It's pretty obvious of those that comment on here that have zero clue how the law works.
The suv was liable for all damages and was fined for illegal lane change and failure to maintain lanes.. the court had no proof the man was speeding and his dash cam shows him at 68mph. Whether or not that's accurate can't be proven in court so even if he was speed there's no solid proof
6:52 In my opinion our European system that the mandatory insurance is tied to the vehicle, not driver, is better. The insurance is valid even if the car is stolen and the thief crashes with it. And vehicles without insurance are easily caught at least here in the Nordic countries.
@@mikesmith-po8nd that's Europe insurance goes on the car and driver this is unlinked all police national computer you drive by a camera can tell if you have insurance or not so if your car was stolen you would get payed out from the insurance companies
@@mikesmith-po8nd That absolutely is not how it works. First of all you tell your insurance who in your family etc. is allowed to drive that vehicle, if one of them has an accident then yes it is insured. If your car gets stolen you report it to the cops and your insurance and then you are off the hook, of course the criminal is liable for any damages he causes (not that you will get any money, criminals usually are desperate poor people and that is if the cops even find your car). With Company Car pools, that any employee can take you have to have some kind of record, logbook so it is documented who, when and where and how many kilometers etc. actually not sure who would have to pay for what in that situation. ...there are a thousand ways for insurances to weasel their way out of paying... any oh so little illegal modifications on your car, breaklights not working, you were drunk driving or you just didn't pay insurance this month... you're on your own! Not to mention, we have this half and full Kasko insurance thing, most people drive around with half Kasko because its more affordable, but if it is your fault your insurance will only pay for the damage on the other car, not for the damage on your own car. Full Kasko is only worth it for new and expensive cars.
@@mikesmith-po8nd In that case you can still report it stolen as soon as you notice it and police will have to prove who was driving the car. In most European countries you're still innocent until proven guilty. And yes, unfortunately that means that someone can cause an accident, run away, claim the car was stolen and get away with it. Police will however try very hard to determine who was driving. They can use GPS information from your phone, see which towers your phone pinged, and footage from everything ranging from traffic cams, ATM's, security cams and even doorbell cams. Perhaps in rural areas you can run away but in urban areas your odds aren't very good.
Man this is why I'm so paranoid when I've got my kids in the car with me. I'm not a bad driver, but I've maneuvered and swerved my car suddenly while driving because other people decide to play stupid games
had an incident like the 3rd one happen as a kid (10 yrs old) with my dad driving. traffic was going 90 both ways over a hill and some moron tried to pass a train of cars with 0 view ahead. there was no time to react when he came over the hill going 100-something in our lane. my dad had a gut feeling to drive to the very right-most edge of the road, and that saved both of our lives that day. i'm thankful for him being a smart and proactive driver every single day, its the only reason i'm still in this world.

Honestly though, I want to find the person responsible for passing this down to their kids. This kinda thing is multi-generational and absolutely blind to race and gender. It also appears to have no cares at all to where you are from or where you are. Indeed, stupid is as stupid does.
To the guy who claimed that is Tucson he needs to stop being a lying sack of shit. That is San Diego California not Tucson Arizona. He took a video of a area that looks similar and lied his ass off. That roach motel was on a cable show I saw decades ago and also on multiple Cops episodes I saw back in the 1990s. It looks similar because those hotels were owned and made by the same company but the Motel in Tucson does not have a second floor while the California one does.
@@Itsmy2cent i think he swirved because he got scare and i cant blam him

The fact that everyone in the video is like “ I finally caught an accident on daschcam ! “ is weird.
I still find it amazing that people are brave enough to submit a clip where they were clearly in the wrong. They should be using your videos in driver's education classes. Thanks for sharing.
This is what always goes through my head as well.
If I did something wrong and not doing that could prevent another accident, I would submit the clip.
It takes spine to admit errors. Gennadyi's wife is a good example of what can happen with even just a slight lapse of concentration.
Some of them believe they weren't the one that screwed up. And that last one said his wife was the driver, so it wasn't the driver posting it. Some actually are posted by the person who screwed up, though, and they do admit it.
never assume bravery where stupidity is a sufficient explanation.

I get that the gray car is an idiot, but you don’t play around when you have a truck, Imagine he caused an accident and then not only kill the person in the gray car but also the people around them.
Whether you think he was an idiot or not I think that very first clip could be considered attempted murdered. I mean you rammed him off the road. What if him hitting the ditch ended up being alot more fatal for the people in that van or worse he went into the oncoming lane and created a big car pile up killing who knows how many. The guy in the truck is one more idiot in the McDonald's drive thru area away from gunning down 20 people. I mean idiots are idiots but you can't kill people for being idiots.
@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 You can't just convict people with attempted murder if you can't prove it was their intention to kill anyone. Aggravated assault maybe.
I love how people immediately declare bad drivers as being some sort of state-exclusive phenomenon. There are bad drivers absolutely everywhere.
Ah yes, only in [insert state the person lives in]
It's true, there are bad drivers everywhere. But for SURE drivers are worse in some places then others
From my experience, drivers are usually a lot better in urban areas. Lot more shit you need to watch out for and be aware of. As soon as you leave a city drivers are just awful
Interesting how the use of the horn has evolved over time. It was first introduced as a warning signal to alert other road users of your approach, particularly helpful when the other individual /driver was either facing or looking the other way. Today's horns seem to be used primarily as a way to express anger and frustration....or bleep out all the swear words.
Using my horn is always so far out of my awareness I can't remember the last time I've used it. Virtually always an event happens so quickly there's no time to use the horn because doing so is AT THE EXPENSE of your ability to maneuver the vehicle. You lose 50% of your control ability in order to use the horn, and that's agility you could/SHOULD be using to AVOID whatever situation you're in.
SO OFTEN I see these dashcam videos where someone could have EASILY avoided a crash by braking or turning or maneuvering, but instead they mash the horn and drive right into someone, often with SECONDS of non-reaction other than honking, and you always see some idiot commenting that "if it's not your fault you shouldn't swerve to avoid an accident, just hit them".
In Lebanon (and many other countries I'm sure) it's still use the first way
@@RobertMorgan Same here. I have been driving for 18 years and I don't recall honking anyone even once. If I see anyone pull out/stop in front of me, my instinct is to break/turn and to avoid an accident. Seems like lots of people do it the other way around. They'd rather honk to "assert their right" or "teach them a lesson" and plow into the other car doing that. I just don't get it.
I use the horn only for waking up people on the traffic lights when it’s a green light for 5 seconds and they are not moving. Usually texting someone. I just press horn for a split second, so it’s not an aggressive signal.
I use mine to greet people
5:40 is the exact reason whenever I see someone flying up behind me, I don’t change anything i’m doing. We can’t predict their next move so it’s best not to add a new variable to the situation.
It’s a fairly reasonable assumption to think, “oh they’re going faster than me and the passing lane is open- they’re going to pass me”. WHY did that guy swerve? egotistical I’m betting lol
He clearly swerved to try to stop him from passing him. He's an idiot that caused an accident for no reason at all.
Looks like they may have hit black ice. if you watch closely, the SUV kinda swerved/skidded a little and lingered in-between lanes, And the driver SHOULD have had plenty of time to slow down/stop yet slammed into the car anyway. Looks like he tried to go to the left of the car. The problem is, if it was in fact ice you CAN NOT break hard/fast
but yea the driver was still flying which he definitely shouldn't have been. He should have been going much slower which would have given him more time to slow down before getting close to the SUV.
@@sIenderrr no, but other drivers shouldn't intentionally cause accidents as punishment
@@Shcroft2 no, I think that was the correct move. one less risk factor on the road for a few days. the man did his highway a service. and the best part is he's most likely gonna get a new car, because he really didn't care what happened to the one he was driving

The clip at 4:52 scared the crap out of me. About four months ago me and my mom were in a similar crash. A woman just drove straight into us from behind a stop sign. My car got totaled. Luckily everyone were okay, just some bruises. Honestly the whole situation was just like in movies, that kinda surprised me. At first when I saw the car it was already too late. I just thought "oh this is a dream". As the car crashed into us I still believed I was dreaming, it was only when we hit the ditch nearby I realised it was actually happening. Scariest thing that's ever happened to me. You always think that shit like that would never happen to you but it can happen to anyone. Drive safe out there people.
I had a friend that was also in a crash like that except it didn't happen at night It happened during the day. Thank God no one was really injured. my friend just had a few bruises.
I was almost in a crash, like that. After pulling out of a parking lot, I was about ready to go ahead and go because there were no cars coming all the sudden. This car appears right beside me, nearly hitting me. I was able to swerve out of the way and avoid it. But I nearly hit the side rails.
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved
(Romans 10:9-13
it was daylight when something like this happened to me, but there was a school bus beside me, and they turned right onto another street, and a car turned left(going to the other side of traffic crossing in front of me) instantly when the bus started turning instead of waiting to actually be able to see. i had about 1 second of real time to react and it seriously did feel like a dream. both my baby’s were in the car, no one was hurt but jesus that shits terrifying
I got T-boned this summer by some hick running a red light and it really does feel like a dream. It’s the brains way of coping with trauma because believe it or not crashes are traumatic.
It really does feel unreal, like slow motion. It made me think about how in near death experiences, ppl say their whole life flashes before their eyes; you always assume it’s just a figure of speech but after experiencing the weird dream-time of a car accident or something similar it makes you realise ppl might legitimately be experiencing their whole lives and it’s not just a metaphor

I assume you mean they shouldn't...in which case I fully agree with you. Just started driving truck myself and hope I don't do something stupid.
To be a truck driver you got to be a darn good driver. Just because you’ve been driving a car for years doesn’t mean you could drive a truck well. Some people just shouldn’t be a truck driver if they don’t understand how big it is and how complicated the turns are.
almost got crushed from a semi the other day when the idiot didn’t check his mirrors to see me in the lane he was trying to switch into.. if i didn’t blast my horn holy shit
Truckers are the most overrated industry. People have been propping them up as heroes because they keep the technoindustrial consoomer system in operation. It goes to their head, gives them an ego, they think they're special and can drive like the guy in this clip, or like they can just sit in the passing lane doing 2mph more than the travelling lane.

The amount of hit and runs here has drastically increased. Just a while ago, my car got hit by an old man, who promptly fled the scene. Luckily for me, the accident caused his license plate to come off, which is how he was ultimately tracked down by the police.

I have heard driving in India is kind of wild compared to the USA. your country sounds very focused on defensive driving which is something many in the US lack so you're ahead of the game and can probably teach us a thing or two!
@@aubreymorgan9763 it's just that we consider all the objects surrounding the road as potential intruders and be ready to brake if they start moving towards the road. By the way now I drove here and this thing is much difficult here since you are going at much higher speed and you are always afraid of getting rear ended if you brake suddenly. So it's not as easy as I was thinking.

Yeah it made my blood boil, what a dumbass thinking he can control traffic.
More like "I'm sorry buddy, I was speeding so fast that there was no way for me to avoid you. It was completely irresponsible of me to try to pass you at such a high rate of speed."
It wasnt the 1st guys excuse for lane straddling, he was telling the cammer "You shouldn't have tried to pass me". Theres a ton of people out there that think "Oh, this guys coming up behind me at a high speed, he's obviously breaking the law. I need to stop him" and usually end up causing accidents. If someone is speeding, let the cops take care of it, don't use yourself to lane block and hope they can slow down in time

@@presley-dj8nv so, you don’t think that if the person following was moving slower and paying attention they may have avoided the crash? That’s generally how I do it. I just …. Don’t aggressively drive into the rear of a car in front of me. It’s that easy!
Bad weather conditions increase stopping distance.
Other drivers driving poorly can be a real problem.
You have to adjust your own driving. Or, you can enjoy spending time in a hospital and having to get a new car. I think option A saves more time.
@@Lenny3x You don't know the actual speed as the only frame of reference is the driver in front who slammed on the brakes +5 seconds before impact.
So the car in front both changed lanes (more like swerved back and forth) with no signal and slammed on the brakes while doing so in order to ensure the cammer had nowhere to go.
The driver in front not only slammed on their brakes but they also swerved back in forth through the lanes to ensure they were hit. There are no "legal follow distances" on the books only the 2-3 second rule that people tend to follow. Considering the car in front slammed on their brakes and started swerving to ensure impact 5 seconds before the accident....
8:38 this is an illegal merge. When making a turn at a multi turn lane intersection you have to stay in your lane until you have made the turn then once you are straight you can use your turn signal to merge lanes.
True, but I don’t think that was relevant in that incident
@@EdPMur true. just something I thought id point out.
Plus crossing so many lanes all in one go (although not really much you can do there if you're trying to get off on that exit)
i actually live in spartanburg and that guy in the truck has been arrested multiple times for doing that
@@HiakueR6 wow 😲
5:39 Who is at fault? The dashcam driver is clearly speeding, but the driver in front did not use a blinker to shift lanes. They both had the right of way.
The dashcam driver is at fault provided this is America or the UK. The laws in other countries vary slightly but in those two countries, if you rear-end another vehicle you are at fault for all the damages, even if you got rear-ended to cause the rear-end.
i mean as everyone else has said, the guy with the camera is going way too fast.. but the person he rear ended also shouldn't have suddenly moved to the left without signaling. It could go either way but I imagine the one speeding was found at fault simply because he was clearly driving above the speed limit and created an unsafe situation.
@@PerpetuusTenebris I mean, I don't doubt this is true in a lot of cases, but do you have a source that demonstrates it always the case? Because it seems rather illogical to operate that way, IMO of course.
Guy in front was 100% at fault, he did it on purpose you can see his brake lights come on before he swerves. He wanted to bully someone into slowing down but got more than he bargained for. Even if the guy was speeding, which we don't actually know, he could have been in an emergency or an undercover cop car. The SUV driver has none of this information, he just did it to try and feel like a big man.
@@PerpetuusTenebris that is completely false. I rear ended someone and I was found to be at no fault. My vehicle and medical was paid by their insurance.
The yellow truck getting payback on that car on the freeway for swerving at him was my favorite part of the video 😂
I like the way of your editing and choices of clips.
5:54 I heard a turn signal come on. Not that other drivers should always believe them.
But I wonder.
yup...changing lanes into the turn lane to turn right at the intersection
@@nicolemoroso3361 Should've waited until he was past the driveway then. But then again the other driver should never assume what the turn signal is for and wait until it's clear

He still had like 2 more turns to go before the light.

This makes me want to get a dash cam. Not to record the stuff I see other people do, just to protect myself if I'm ever involved. 😬
5:42 when was mr camera man planning on passing? He waited till the last second to get in the other lane and had zero time to react. The guy who swerved didn’t respond correctly but I can’t fault him for likely being terrified at the sudden overtaking. Seriously this wreck happens way too fast, just goes to show how the camera man was the one being negligent
I agree, it would defintely be uncomfortably close, but I trust that the cameraman driver was definitely going to switch lanes just in time. I understand but am disappointed in the other driver, yes itd be spooky for someone to be hualing ass like that but you HAVE to trust the drive to switch lanes in oder to minimize chances of accidents. Both at fault, i personally think the driver ahead had more fault than the speeder though.
The Black SUV was found to be completely at fault. The cammer didn't 'wait till the last second', he moved to the open lane way before and then was forced to respond when the SUV swerved back and forth. What do you mean ''terrified'? Do you start swerving when an ambulance passes you at speed? You don't even know if he was over the speed limit or in an emergency, imagine trying to defend the fool swerving like that 🙄
@@Hankblue An ambulance doesn't pass me at speed because I pull over like the law says to. An Emergency does not mean you can speed either, you dial 911 if there is an emergency that cannot wait. A lady tried to use that defense in court because her kid was unconscious, the judge asked did you dial 911 and when she said no the charges were upheld.
Here that would be called an unsafe lane change or reckless driving. If you pause the video before the guy swerves he has just started his lane change about 2 and half car lengths away, while going almost double the speed. Even if he finished the lane change at that point and the guy didn't swerve he would have just barely missed the guys bumper. You also don't do quick lane changes at high speed when there is snow on the ground.
@@Azsunes That makes no sense, if you pull over the ambulance will pass you at speed. In fact the speed difference between your vehicles will increase if you stop on the highway. If you suddenly become 'terrified' and swerve all over the road when a vehicle comes up behind you at speed, you're not a functional member of society. (This guy wasn't terrified btw, he just wanted to bully someone into not overtaking him so he slammed on brakes and started swerving between lanes).
Actually an emergency does mean you can speed, in the same way that a deadly threat means you can use lethal force. The authorities still need to verify your story, but 9 times out of 10 if you can show a reasonable basis for speeding you won't be penalised. Not that any of this matters for this case, because we cannot verify that he was over the speed limit, and the person in the black SUV is not a walking odometer. I don't know why you're mentioning 911, the black SUV had 0 information about whether that person had called or was on the line with 911. He doesn't know whether there was a car shooting at the camera from behind, he doesn't know if it was an undercover cop. He just felt like playing a stupid game to feel like a big man, and that's why he won't get a cent from his insurance.
@@Hankblue I was stating the law that you do not maintain speed for an Ambulance, you pull over and come to a complete stop if it is safe to do so.
I also did not say the driver called 911, you said it was ok to speed if it is an Emergency. There have been many court rulings that have an emergency is no reason to speed, if it is life threatening call 911.
5:42 I’m with the guy that got rear ended, the driver with the camera was driving way too fast and barely switched last minute, I would’ve switched lanes to let someone pass me but cmon
nah the guy moved over right after the guy w the camera did. i wouldn’t move if someone is going that fast they r not trying to wait for u to move
he literally was swerving trying to stop the guy from passinf
@@suzannebaker3398 bruh no he wasn’t, he was swerving cuz he saw the guy switch lanes at the same time
@@ivanhernandez7395 yes he was and he purposely did it and even stopped just to get hit. the cam guy started switching lanes at a pretty good distance for the guy to see so no it wasn't at the last minute. it was his fault and he deserved to get hit.
That was definitely to teach cammer a lesson on speeding, since in most parts of the world if you rear-end someone it's ALWAYS your fault.

Cammer was driving pretty fast given the road conditions.
Rear-ended guy had a couple of choices on how to react, but hitting the brakes should NOT have been in the playbook. Initial fault lies on the cammer, but, seeing how the other guy reacted, I think the cammer ends up as the "victim" in this case since his option(s) aside from "not speeding" were taken away from him.
My go to play whenever a guy is running up hot on me (surprisingly often out in Eastern WA) is to just stay the course. Only two options: I get rear-ended and the fault lies strictly on Mr. Hot Wheels, meaning I'm coming out with covered repairs/a new vehicle
or
Mr. Wheels gets in the passing lane after getting within 1 or 2 car spaces of me, goes about his day, and I'll reach my destination without incident.
Being predictable is probably the best thing to do in a situation like that. I've only been driving for 9 years (unlike you salty vets of the pavement), but I have yet to be rear-ended, so I must be doing something right, right?
Also, I can't give weight to the caption on the alleged exchange the drivers had, but if it were true, then fault continues to shift towards Mr. Not-so-Hot Wheels for making the worst out of a bad situation on purpose rather than simply reacting poorly to the situation.
It sounds terrible, given that the interaction stems from how fast the cammer was driving, but I don't think there is anything more than a speeding ticket awaiting that guy.
yep completely agree
My theory is the dude that got rear end wanted to be salty and get paided, people do stuff like that.

A person did that once lucky the truck slow down to not hit them if the truck and other driver got into the accident I would’ve been a witness for the truck driver because my dashcam was recording whole thing.
I love how everyone seems to be so excited to catch a wreck on their dash cam lol 😂

At some point in time someone has to realize that the majority of the drivers in the US are not smart enough to navigate a double turn lane successfully and shouldn't be used anymore.
An they just think they are smart enough that they won’t be hold accountable which no does hold them accountable for it

As a person who got their license in Maryland at 22 because I was terrified of Maryland drivers, most of my drivers Ed class was watching crashing videos…that’s it.

5:38
Fault is on the dashcam driver. Going WAY too fast on that lane, wasn't even in the passing lane. The car in front of them was trying to get out of their way but the speeder was already changing lanes and confused that driver.
we know
Wrong. The suv was found liable for all Damages and was fined for illegal lane change and failure to maintain lanes. The dash cam says he was doing 68mph but there's no proof that is solid enough for court to say otherwise. So even if he was speeding there's isn't proof

5:56 the driver put his turn indicator on way too early. You can hear it. The other guy in the SUV did look: he saw the driver signaling a turn. Any experienced driver would interpret that as "I'm going to turn in to that parking lot". I would've made the same move as the SUV. If I were hit, I would believe I was not at fault.
agreed
This was actually how my first accident happened but the cop was friends with girls mom and so he said I was in the wrong and that you need to wait even if they are indicating a turn.
Definitely not. I get what you are saying, but an experienced driver would have waited for the cammer to slow down and begin entering the parking lot before moving out into traffic. There are too many idiots on the road to assume that they will do what you think they will. The blinker was turned on way too early, but that does not mean the SUV should have assumed he was turning right there.
@@ElSnail I have at least learned from my mistake. The accident happened only about a month after I had my license and I was leaving school and I had a bus behind me and I was sitting at the stop sign for an extremely long time and thought it was safe to go since the girls blinker was on but I was wrong
This is why you never assume someone is turning even if they have they’re blinker on. They may have left it on and not notice it or they’re turning further past where you are
oh man the road rage one at 00:39 was so satisfying 🤣🤣
5:41 Completely the fault of the Hyundai. Swerving to block both lanes as he admitted. Unacceptable.
At 5:43, I would have been scared if I saw somebody speeding up behind me too and changed lanes to avoid a collision. Getting rear ended like that is dangerous.
If I see someone going extremely fast behind me, I usually just stay out and keep my speed steady. If they’re driving unreasonably fast, then it’s likely they’re going to pass me so they can continue going fast. Trying to change lanes myself might complicate things and cause an accident, which is likely what happened in that clip
@@alexsolano27 and even then if you don’t move at all and they still hit you it’s the easiest case available rather then trying to move for them since if they rear end you while speeding theres really no way to justify it
@@Big_Stew but you still get hit.
Unless you have clear signs that the other person doesnt have the car under control, you should never do that and just keep doing what you're doing. Even in that situation you should probably just keep going at a constant speed in your current lane since, if you do not do that, you'll be adding acceleration to your car making it harder in the case of a crash
That said, the cam driver should never be going at those speeds with those climate conditions and, at the very least, he should have changed lanes sooner to keep the minimum security distance at those speeds
@@lengors7327 if they are battling straight towards you, that is a very clear sign that they are about to hit you. Why else would somebody do that? If they intended to change lanes, then they would put on their blinker and change lanes way before they became a clear and present danger.
5:57 Never trust those blinkers. I don't know if they wouldn't have pulled out either way, but whatever they were trying to do was already risky.
yeah when you're passing a turn that you are not taking then your blinker shouldn't be on yet

6:52 In my opinion our European system that the mandatory insurance is tied to the vehicle, not driver, is better. The insurance is valid even if the car is stolen and the thief crashes with it. And vehicles without insurance are easily caught at least here in the Nordic countries.
If a thief steals your vehicle and crashes it, why should your insurance pay the damages?
It wasn't your fault.
@@mikesmith-po8nd that's Europe insurance goes on the car and driver this is unlinked all police national computer you drive by a camera can tell if you have insurance or not so if your car was stolen you would get payed out from the insurance companies
@@mikesmith-po8nd That absolutely is not how it works. First of all you tell your insurance who in your family etc. is allowed to drive that vehicle, if one of them has an accident then yes it is insured. If your car gets stolen you report it to the cops and your insurance and then you are off the hook, of course the criminal is liable for any damages he causes (not that you will get any money, criminals usually are desperate poor people and that is if the cops even find your car).
With Company Car pools, that any employee can take you have to have some kind of record, logbook so it is documented who, when and where and how many kilometers etc.
actually not sure who would have to pay for what in that situation.
...there are a thousand ways for insurances to weasel their way out of paying... any oh so little illegal modifications on your car, breaklights not working, you were drunk driving or you just didn't pay insurance this month... you're on your own!
Not to mention, we have this half and full Kasko insurance thing, most people drive around with half Kasko because its more affordable, but if it is your fault your insurance will only pay for the damage on the other car, not for the damage on your own car. Full Kasko is only worth it for new and expensive cars.
Ok, that's good to know. Although if a car was stolen and wrecked before the owner could report it, then it could possibly get interesting.
@@mikesmith-po8nd In that case you can still report it stolen as soon as you notice it and police will have to prove who was driving the car. In most European countries you're still innocent until proven guilty. And yes, unfortunately that means that someone can cause an accident, run away, claim the car was stolen and get away with it. Police will however try very hard to determine who was driving. They can use GPS information from your phone, see which towers your phone pinged, and footage from everything ranging from traffic cams, ATM's, security cams and even doorbell cams. Perhaps in rural areas you can run away but in urban areas your odds aren't very good.
