@@willnotcomply1328 I just make it a habit to Pause the vid when text pops up. The only time I want to spend hitting the back arrow for the 5-second skip is when I find myself saying, "Wait -- how the heck did they manage to do that?"
In many of these vids, the dashcammers, though technically in the right for legal and insurance purposes, could have easily avoided an actual crash. I'm sure that you don't have footage sent to you, so much as you have mileage. I think it would be very instructive to show comparisons between similar events -- failures to merge, for example -- where a cammer refuses to slow down, or even speeds up, in order to keep from letting some bozo in front of them, forcing the collision to occur (e.g. ~8:45), versus one wherein the cammer practices good defensive driving (cussing OK -- road rage a big nope) and has a close call. Yeah, it would take some additional time and editing finesse, but it would certainly add an additional layer of instruction.
20:47 I don’t think the driver of this dash cam video was paying attention because from her right at that timestamp, you can see a black dot and that black dot is the woman in the wheelchair or the guy in the wheelchair, my eyesight is pretty bad and I was able to see the person in the wheelchair from the video. Yes that is incredibly stupid and completely dangerous for you to be on the highway if you don’t have reflectors on.
9:50, still drivers fault. Gotta pay attention to not only car in front but any pedestrians crossing street. Also give yourself more of a buffer. Not signing petition, you deserve the ticket. Lol 🤷🏽♂️
My question to this is which vehicle did he mean stopped short? The Mazda in front of the cammers car or the SUV that is stopped in front of it that can be clearly see through the windows of the Mazda?
I always stop a good distance away from pedestrian crossings when there are people crossing. I always have a buffer zone in all stops i make to allow for idiot distracted drivers behind me. Not a lot of people drive defensively and basically ride your butt and act as though you are the problem driver
Anyway even if the other car stopped in front of the pedestrian considering how fast he was he would have hit it making the other car running over them. It was actually a really good thing the other car stopped way ahead. (but anyway there was another car between them that we see leave a bit after the pedestrain clear the road) Plus if he can't stop there it mean he was either too fast, too close to the front car or not paying enough attention, 100% the cammer fault whatever the case. Most accidents i ever see in those videos are caused by lack of attention to what happen around.
So atosa X wants the driver in front of him to be responsible for what happens both in front AND behind themselves in this incident? Yeah, that's reasonable... Don't hold your breath on that petition of yours! Btw, atose X failed to drive cautiously and vigilantly and is 100% responsible for his own mistake.
Would also like to point to the speed meter in the cam. Dude didn't break late, dude didn't break at all because he has his head too far up his ass and couldn't see. Then has the audacity to see his dashcam video, upload it and be like "This isn't justified my fault just because I'm blind and didn't break and how dare he break early so I can't push him into the pedestrians.". Hopefully the person doesn't drive anymore.
8:40 Clearly saw the truck - which was ahead of them - merging into a single lane, but let's SPEED UP and not let them merge AND hit them... seriously *rolls eyes*
Both should be at fault. Because idiot drivers who push their way in to get ahead instead of falling behind fora safer spot. Aggressive drivers like that shouldn't have their license
That first clip is why you don't buy a brand new motorcycle when you still have a permit. Buy a bike you can drop and not cringe when it hits the ground.
Technically it was the 2nd clip, but yeah... in CA he would need to take the CHP motorcycle training program. I HATE CA for a lot of reasons, but I do appreciate their intervention when it comes to motorcycle safety.
1:40 the audacity for those ppl to be offended that the cammer honked at them because their baby was about to be crashed into! I also love how she didn’t even pull the carriage all the way back to be in a safe position. Her damn attitude and entitlement was more important than the baby in the carriage!
9:52 Imagine starting a petition because you're unable to take responsibility for your own actions. The law is fine, it's not always the fault of the person who is behind, but in your case, it absolutely was. It was a blessing they stopped way before the pedastrians, otherwise you would have blowed into the car AND forced it into the pedastrians.
Glad I wasn’t the only one, I was about to say the same thing, that’s why you keep a fair distance to break on time and the nerves of them to say he stop with a lot of room from pedestrians like really ? You wanted him close to the pedestrian so that when you hit him not only you hit his car but also the people smh
If the first driver had slowed to a stop instead of jamming on the break, the second driver would have had more time to stop. Why would you assume the second driver would have still plowed into the rear of the first car? Both drivers failed to use due care. And that crosswalk is a poorly placed hazard.
@@danielolson437 Because if you'd like to move your eyes to the speed meter given by the dashcam the person didn't break at all. At 45km/h this would've been fine with a little harsher break and safe 100% with an emergency break, which is something the car in front didn't even do and look at his length of break. Driver just didn't pay attention and now tries to be like "The car in front blocked my eyes and brain from working." with his petition. Also comical the person complains about stopping "way off" when that saved the pedestrians from being thrown under the car by them.
He also didn't clear the snow off his hood in the second clip which I'll bet means the top of his vehicle still had a snow pack that was flying into the windscreens of all the cars behind him every time he braked.
right? the first person was an asshole for taking up 2 lanes with people both in front of and behind but the cammer was at fault for causing the "accident" by SPEEDING up so the truck couldn't move over. Like sure they are a dick but why would you fuck up your car? You sure showed him... and your insurance is gonna be pissed with you.
1:26 "Looks faster than it was"??? You can literally see the body roll from the car going around that median 10:18 "Truck was following too closely" Following _what?_ Half a second earlier, he was following nothing but empty road.
I bought a dash cam for Christmas for myself. A couple of days ago this channel popped up in my RUclips video feed and I decided to check it out. After reading description for each clip and seeing how many people lie to not take blame I’m very happy I made the 50$ investment!
Dude at 4:26 doing 70 mph, See's a car turning out to the middle lane, Switches to that lane not paying attention and almost hits him, Then proceeds to get mad. 10/10 crazybob
I am amazed at just how many drivers choose to hit the horn rather than their brakes 🤔 ... they obviously haven't realized how the controls on motor vehicles work.
You stole those words from my mouth...i mean, i was going to say the same thing. Minute 55:00 for example. First of all, the driver of the dash cam must not be riding faster because he is in a slower lane, and second he didn't hit the brake and let the driver next to him incorporate to his lane. He also had the blinking lights on.
Holding your horn for a long period of time is stupid, but if you want to driving school you would've learned using your horn is a great way of communicating with other drivers.
may be the idiot driver thought their car would get lonely whilst they went shopping so wanted to give it another to cuddle up to !! ( sorry could not resist a bit of sarcasm)
I'm starting to see a pattern here... A lot of these "slow/lazy" merge incidents could be avoided with either driver just deciding to de-escalate the situation. Listen. NO ONE enjoys traffic. Probably a lot less of a hassle to just let them merge than to prove it's "my spot" and deal with an accident/inconvenience/repairs, even if it isn't your fault... Just saying, you'll be pissed off for like an hour or two versus waiting for your car to get out of the shop for possibly weeks (Yes, the other guy is an asshole, but both parties can lower the temperature.) Queue jumpers and late mergers are still assholes, though... You are absolutely correct to feel that and KNOW that. Go on, honk your horns, yell out your window, flash your high-beams, but assholes are gonna asshole. You can prove 'em wrong on a low-traffic street if you wanna get all legal on them and have the free-time to devote to it. Or you can just let those pricks merge, be pissed about it and bitch to your family or co-workers and not have to miss work, get a rental, or have to depreciate your car's value just to be right... Yeah, it sucks at the time, but I tried to be "right" once. Lost 3 weeks of my car that I loved, (and about 20% of the value) had to take almost 20 hours off of work, and was raising my blood pressure, bitching with insurance companies and having to get accident reports to them due to clerical issues (this was before dashcams and cell phones with cameras). A delay of 15 seconds to slam on the brakes to a halt, gather my wits, then accelerate again after grabbing the stuff that flew forward would have been better, in my eyes, now that I am 10 years past it. Calm the "F" down Billy. All I'm saying. Driving angry benefits NO ONE. Especially not those that have to move over due to the accident you guys were involved in... one little tap can mean hundreds or more are delayed from their appointments, or getting to work on time, or missing a movie. Because you were right and had to prove it. Sorry for the rant/dissertation, but I figured someone ought to say it.... It's sometimes better to be home without a police interaction than to be right and have a car in the shop...
Well said 🙂 watching these clips is hard because half of the “victims” will then honk their horn, cuss, speed up and yell at the other driver. What good is that gonna do? 4:38 is an example. That guy with the dash cam is visibly speeding up and screaming at the blue car. Meanwhile he’s endangering other drivers on the road because he’s focused on speeding up to yell at blue car. We as adult drivers need to get our shit together. Road rage is NEVER ok. Be the light you want to see in the world.
8:43 In most incidents that result in a crash from someone changing lanes, it’s usually the person who didn’t see the other driver in there blindspot and hits them. But in this occasion I would say that the camera is 100% at fault, he literally sped up so the tundra would hit him like wtf 🤦♂️
I'm sure the cops would call that failing to share the road! There was no reason at all for that collision. Just the campers attitude! That's what caused the accident!
The guy at 6:11 says "Oh shit" then takes like 2 seconds to hit the brake pedal after that. Has the reaction time of a rock. He easily could have braked and went to the right and had plenty of time to stop before that intersection.
Well if you Read the caption it says "I had a shirt that was gonna fly out the window, went to grab it--" so he was saying Oh Shit at the shirt, THEN on top of that he slammed the break and "when I braked the car slid" so. Y'know.
37:40 This, right here, is why it is important to have a dash cam in your vehicle. Without this video, chances are that the truck driver could have lost everything in a lawsuit. His dash cam saved him. Please be safe out there.
@@laugh7830 naw it's the truth. When an older gentleman hit me after running a red he could have lied if a cop did not see the whole thing. Who would they believe 40 year old SUV driver, or 20 something with a modded Civic. I got a camera after that because next time I might not be so lucky.
@@sirniburek3048 there was no time to hit the breaks. This happened very quickly, the truck driver had probably just lifted his foot off the gas when he hit him. Pretend you are the truck driver seeing this for the first time. Put your right foot down like it's on the gas, and see if you can hit the break before you hit the car. No cheating.
This is why they cut off thieves hands, that stolen truck could have killed someone. Yes they give Licences to the wrong people way too often. Great videos guys👍👍👍👍👍❤🇺🇸
40:16 Freakes was driving like a maniac I am pretty sure it was her fault and shouldn't have physically touched that man's vehicle. If she was scared for her life she wouldn't have left her vehicle trying to damage his. Her daughter was spazzing out like a lunatic.
Im thinking the same damn thing!!!! Might not be the full situation that happened but your daughter tried to beat on that mans car and you kicked it!!!! Yes you should be judged for the rest of your life WHAT IF YOU WOULDVE HIT THE OTHER KID WHILE YOUR CHILD IS SCREAMING LIKE A LUNATIC!!! like what!?! Hate people like this
Exactly. People scared for their lives drive away, they don't jump out and attack the other car. Her name is appropriate. Universe has a sense of humor.
@@aminawilliamson9529 I've seen that video twice, and I was curious, so I looked it up. The woman in the red coat is named Melissa Freake. Her side of the story was that she wasn't wearing a mask in a store (she claimed a medical exemption), and the man in the video insulted her as she left the store. She basically followed him in her car for a while, and he cut her off at some point, which resulted in that video. According to her, her daughter (the one in black doing the high pitched screaming and hanging out the window) has mental issues and was wound up by the situation. She was initially not charged with anything, but was later charged with careless driving after police received some new footage.
@Jor Tra Even if the mother's story is 100% true as she presented it in the article (which I don't believe) she still comes out looking pretty bad. But let's have some sympathy for the daughter rather that insulting her? I didn't say mentally slow, I said mental issues; i.e. probably doesn't handle stress well. I absolutely do believe she has some kind of mental issue (mentally stable people don't generally behave that way, even when stressed out), and I can only imagine it is made worse or caused by the behavior of her mother. That's not her fault, and calling her nasty and a freak is kinda despicable.
@Jor Tra I didn't say anything about not condemning her actions, I said that calling her a nasty freak was dispicible. A mental illness combined with poor parenting (both of which I see evidence for in the video) can lead to lead to that kind of behavior. The behavior is wrong, but writing off the person as a nasty freak is also wrong in my opinion.
Ray N YOU did 100% the CORRECT thing ....... stopped to assist if needed. You save the other driver more abuse POSSIBLY more physical + you have the video if there is ever evidence required by Law Enforcement. Please do NOT EVER STOP being a good Samaritan !!!!! well done !!!!!!
7:13 I love how the guy makes an attempt to lift the pole off his truck! Apparently he overestimates his strength. People like him, who are dumb enough to run over a utility pole and not even realize it, should not be allowed to have a CDL 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
If you aren't using a trailer, it's sometimes possible to use a legal loophole to not require a CDL, as long as it's privately owned and he doesn't claim a tax deductible on the vehicle as a work truck
43:00 The semi didn't "veer" off the road. The deputy pulled into traffic on a busy interstate without checking to see if it was safe to do so first. The semi couldn't move over because there were cars to its left.
1:28 i get so tired of seeing..."looks closer than it was" first time i seen "looked faster than it was" lmaooo...naw...you were flyin through that residential are bro🤣🤣
9:50 Absolutely no chance with your petition. Utterly clueless driving on your part to end up in the back of him. There are exceptions to it being the fault of the person behind (car in front reverses, or pulls suddenly into your lane then slams on brakes, etc). None of that applies here - car in front stopped correctly because there was a pedestrian crossing, with pedestrians on it. Watching the video for the first time I anticipated the car in front stopping because I could see the pedestrians. Leave more space, pay attention to what is in front (not just the car in front) and accept when you've made a mistake and try to learn from it.
I'm shocked, no one is talking about the guy that hit the homeless man. That was horrific, very traumatizing for both. I hope the homeless man is okay and is helped.
@@Confession68 Very true, although shit I would be too... A heavy vehicle vs a man in a wheel chair. At least he managed to slow it down, but still, that probably gave him some kind of ptsd.
Believe it or not, but the homeless man in the wheelchair would be in the clear, it's a motorized wheel chair. No motorized vehicles are allowed on city sidewalks! Although he should have had a red triangle on the back and maybe some reflective stripes! Guy in car is at 100% at fault!
1:00 I feel bad for her. Learning to ride can be hard if you don't have someone to teach you and work with you. The CBR300 is a great bike to learn on though.
i don't know, i think the driveway, was part of why she was having so many issues, beyond the height and weight. she really didn't have much room to move it around and it's hard to balance when not moving.
saw that in a porsche idiots video from rusia. guy in a porsche got offended in traffic and stoped the other car to beat the driver that decided best thing is to mangle the porsche drivers door in to a modified suicide door.
There’s a reason my parents taught me the jackrabbit story/5 second rule. Always wait 5 seconds when you are in the front at a stop light so that the “jackrabbit”/jackass can run it if they want and you don’t get hit that way. The Las Vegas rear ended probably happened because our street lighting sucks ass.... people(tourists) also get distracted by all the casino lights/signs and don’t pay enough attention to other drivers.
54:59 Jason H Pekin dashcam: The other driver is not a bully - you are a jerk. How about just slowiing down a tiny bit and letting the other car over? Would it kill you to drive with a little courtesy?
It was both, let's be honest. Signalling never gives you the right of way. Plus, courtesy isn't actually courtesy if they are obligated to do it. It's up to the person with the right of way to make the decision. Example: You ask to enter someone's house and they invite you in, and let's say you expect the courtesy of being offered something to eat. If they don't offer it, would you be right to just get up and help yourself to the fridge without permission? Or do you just accept that they aren't very hospitable?
@@specialopsdave Yeah, I get what you are saying. But my point was about courtesy, not about right-of-way. Road Rage battles have only losers, no winners.
9:54 No matter what, if you can not stop your vehicle in time then it’s your fault. If the vehicle in front does a 100 to 0 it change nothing. You are too close that’s all…
7:06 Almost had an anxiety attack watching the main trying to lift a large wooden electricity post that was directly above him and looked like it was connected to some wires that it was dragging. I would have been reversing the moment I would have seen him heading my direction
@@viktorbihar5384 I know right, she is shouting stop at a truck that probably can't hear her and the holds out her hand to stop a ton of telephone pole :S wtf, move to the grass :p
@Machina why did this comment make you so angry ? lol Also if I remember the clip properly, she could have went on the grass or reversed, and how could he have heard her shout instructions from his cab? you ever been in a big truck, not so easy to hear. Ofc she shouldn't have to move but the world does not always go to plan and some defensive driving can save you some money and time in the long run. From your demeanor though, I can tell you will take this new comment with some grace and civility :p
@@BAGG8BAGG You guys sound like idiots. You saying should just go around and let him drag a fucking pole around? Are you dim? No shit she should bring attention to it?
@@ALA516 lol, I think you might be the idiot, getting so triggered by a comment section. To clarify we were talking about when the person in the truck continues to move and isn't picking up on the hand signals and screaming, you should drive defensive and get out of the way, maybe move to the grass. We were not saying 'just go around'. please sit down and breathe before typing.
9:50 Hey atosa x, how about instead of petitioning to change a law because you failed to observe it, you simply observe the rules of the road and don't follow too closely. "The car stopped suddenly with a lot of room from pedestrians." ...OMG, what a JackAss not driving right up on the pedestrians.
2:43 - I love how entitled the SUV driver appears to behave. Arrogant, self-centered jerk. 15:40 - Another entitled, insane asshole driver. 22:01 - It's not Autopilot's fault - it's the driver's fault for thinking he doesn't have to actually do the driving. 26:39 - Rather than risking injury to yourself, having some pepper spray handy would've been a better response.
7:00 "Oh my god, what do I do!?!" Hint #1 Stop yelling "stop". No one outside of the car can hear you. Certainly not the other driver. Hint #2 MOVE! Pull forward while turning. Put the car in reverse (if not blocked). Anything other than sitting there and yelling "Stop".
SO glad I moved out of the DC area. The Beltway was always a nightmare.. Live in the Country now, and no one is in such a rush. It's rather nice.. esp NOT hearing about accidents (and esp fatalities) every day of the week.
As a firefighter I really enjoy your videos... They are a great tool to use for accident investigation training, cause & effect... Also as a christian I appreciate the effort you put into making sure they are free from cursing... Great job & videos... Keep em coming 😊👍
10:00 truck should not have been found at fault either. He was not following to close. You changed lanes right in front of him. However, the dashcam footage cleared you but the red car that left the seen should be the only one found at fault.
Yeah, that one confuses me because unless the pickup was behind him and also swerved and then hit him then it was not his fault. The cammer does not explain where the truck was at all so no clue on it.
THIS! he wasn't following too close. They went into the other friggen lane without indicating because of the red car. Trucks can't just stop on a dime...why TF was that trucker found at fault in any way?!
its really impressive to see how many of these could've been avoided easily. it's also impressive to see how many of them should NOT be allowed to drive a car let alone have a license
13:53 I totally get that the driver was distraught, but jesus, look at that giant parking lot. Parking right next to another car was never a safe decision. She's entirely in the wrong for what she did there. :/
Parking lot looked pretty full before she parked, from what i could see anyways. I think it was better to park in a corner kinda area like she did. Of course it's tragic the truck caught on fire, but if there wasn't a better spot to park, there was nothing else she could do except what she did. Go inside, call fire department, and warn everyone she could.
The driver at 4:28, according to his dashcam, was traveling at 68mph. While the blue car should not have pulled out in front like it did, the fact that he was going almost 20mph over the speed limit (50 mph) sign a few feet further on, did not help his case any.
I love how half these campers are all indignant, yet it was all their fault for following too close, or failing to make room, or whatever. Just cuz u have a camera doesn’t make you right.
Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of seniors driving the wrong way or doing things that are incredibly dangerous. For clarity, I have no issue with seniors who drive even when they drive slowly. That said, I personally believe anyone over 65 who has cognitive decline or has a medical condition which may impair their ability to drive should be required to complete a driving test (covered by the government) with an examiner to ensure they are driving safely and defensively. Too many innocent people are killed every year because a senior was unfit to drive. I also believe anyone with a medical condition that may impair their driving ability should be tested at least every two years.
I hear what you’re saying and agree that something needs to be done as it is not seniors who are causing most accidents. Until our traffic laws have serious consequences with a zero level of tolerance, we’ll continue to see drivers ignore their responsibility to drive safely. Although auto makers continue to add or improve safety features, someone needs to develop a tamper proof device that monitors how the driver is operating the vehicle and applies an automatic fine following consecutive violations. Or, you remove the driver and have antonymous driving. Cheers.
I believe that everybody, regardless of age, gender, ability, etc., should be required to retake the written and driving portion of the license test at least every 10 years. I know someone who has been driving for about 70 years. Just think of all the new laws that have passed since she got her license! This would both provide revenue to the states and educate people on the newest laws and hopefully weed out some of the incompetent drivers without being prejudicial to any group of people. I didn't drive for many years because of a horrible car accident and my license lapsed while I was recovering. When I started driving again, I had to retake everything, and I was totally amazed at what I had forgot or didn't know.
And there are as many or more younger drivers that have caused deaths in vehicle accidents…do they get a pass? Your statement about not having anything against senior drivers is BS
The lights on tow trucks are to alert drivers that they have a heavy load, make wide turns, and may have a swinging back end. They are not emergency lights and claim no exemptions from traffic laws.
I was about to disagree until I read it again. 🤣 I'm tired. Trying to get this stupid thing to install on my laptop. I give up tonight! I thought you were talking about vehicles having to change lanes for a vehicle on the shoulder.
Some of the drivers on the videos are asshole's and could've chilled and not caused accidents... Y'all, take the less aggresive approach until other action is actually warranted.. Be smart and reserve your aggression...
@@wendybabendy It wasn't on fast forward. The driver appeared to be doing about 35-40 MPH and probably made up the "faster than it looks" part to cover for his dangerous driving.
Is it just me or do you find yourself after watching a few hours of these "driving fail' videos saying to yourself "I am never driving again" and I have been driving for over 35 years. Just Sayin'...
3:53 why would they compensate or refund you for work they did do? They agreed to pay the repairs, that has nothing to do with the work they were doing.
my guess is that they were not planning on paying for any of the damages, and only did because they got caught with the desk him I'm so the driver felt entitled because they were already lying scum bag that they should not pay for the work that was already done they're both assholes
To be fair, the incident probably left them car-less for another week or two, and they tried to cover it up in the first place. The least they could do is cover the $500 original fee. That’s called decent customer service lol.
6:46 I understand that the truck needed to stop ,but them screaming what do I do blew me away. They literally were sitting there screaming what do I do, what do I do, you put on your emergency blinkers on and you start reversing while blaring your horn. You do not sit there and wait to get hit
20:22 That's the reason I ask drivers when stopped if it's clear. I always honk if it's not. Also no matter what always say the license plate letters and digits, your camera might not be clear enough to see the digits.
The girlfriend was just watching the boyfriend with his new bike. She was holding the mirror for him. HE DID THAT! Edited- went back and rewatched.... you are RIGHT... it was the girlfriend and she needs to stay off it!
Personally I would ask her to do the license training again … idk about USA license system but where I used to live we had to train a really low spread and control the weight of the bike …
I wish these had descriptions like how the person felt or what they were thinking moments before they wreck their own cars *Brad F150 Owner* "yeah i just didnt wanna be 30 seconds later for work so i dove into the other lane cuz fuck em and thats how i flipped it" I just wanna try to understand what(if anything) is going on in their little heads😂
2:20 You have to really wonder what kind of bizarre psychological problem someone has that causes them to get that completely unglued because they got honked at. To this guy, being honked at has somehow harmed him in ways that can only suitably be solved by violence. Because of a horn. Sad and pathetic.
He takes things way too personally. He must feel so bad about himself that when someone claims he's done wrong, he can't take it. Either that or so arrogant. Either way, he put many lives in danger over his embarrassing ego. He's an adult only on the outside and should be ashamed.
58:13 Sure the driver that rear-ended you gets the blame but this is actually your fault. Don't "be nice" and stop in the middle of the road to let people go when your lane is the right of way. YOU broke the rules and behaved unpredictably instead of just continuing straight like EVERYBODY expected you to do. That light you refer to was a block away and was green before you would have ever gotten to it. OBEY THE RULES. The whole reason for them is so that others can reasonably predict behaviors of other vehicles.
Hard to put the fault for this accident on the cammer since the guy behind should be paying attention but i really really want to. The cammer IS doing something hazardous and totally unpredictable. He is trying to "be nice" and let someone else go but really you are just confusing people. You're not turning, you're not at a stop sign or a light so you shouldn't be stopping here. If you did this on a driving test you should fail. Don't just stop in the middle of the street. You will get rear ended eventually
@@sirniburek3048 No. This is at least partially the fault of the dope who decided to make a hazard of himself by stopping in the middle of the road for an incredibly stupid reason.
18:40 I live in Eastern Europe, aprox. 8-9 time zones away and I was sure that was going to be a SWIFT driver dumbfuckery the moment I saw truck parking lot.
9:52 I've watched this 5 more times and from the first time, to the last time, it's evident you could have avoided this accident. And you would have had plenty of time to stop if you weren't distracted by something or looking at more than the car in front of you.
I love AZHWY88's explanation of the car in his clip, "car on the freeway in Los Angeles doing 80mph with no front left tire", like its just a typical normal thing to see in the Freeway there, lmmfao
18:37 as soon as I saw Swift on the door I KNEW Swift was going to fuck up someone's day and I was not wrong. As long as you can see out of one eye, reach the pedals, and keep a single finger on the steering wheel, swift will hire you.
WTF !?! A guy feels free to park his car in the middle of an 8 lane on just one side freeway ! He was creating a deadly situation for those around him and commiting a felony. Total justification for him to be run over, except that leaves his parked car as an obstacle. If I was the Trucker I'd have done what was done, but if I was the car directly behind who's life was endangered for no reason, he'd have been under my wheels the second he stepped out.
21:40 that's in my area and I can't even begin to count the number of times I've seen cars swerve to avoid that exact jut-out. It definitely almost got me the first few times I started driving that route. I hope they fix that shit soon if they haven't already.
That's terrifying. Why isn't there a shoulder/buffer zone between the lane and that divider? Whoever designed that is insane. I'd definitely be going after the city with that one.
*I nearly jumped out of my skin when that poor guy hit that homeless man who was sitting in the dark in his wheelchair. I hope the man ended up being ok*
@9.53 I believe in most countries you need to leave a gap long enough to react and stop in if the car in front of you suddenly stops, tailgating is the term used to describe not doing this. Deliberately causing an accident (crash) is also usually against the law (break checking). You were following to close or not paying attention, your fault.
Rear ender on exit to 401 East - car in rear definitely at fault. The stop was gradual, not sudden, and the pedestrians stepping into the crosswalk were clearly visible.
We’re always in such a hurry. I’m guilty of this @ times as well. Well except for the guy in the wheelchair. He wasn’t in a hurry He was just cruising along, taking up actual road lanes. Muse have been mentally handicapped as well.
42:47 "A semi truck veered off the road." Looks to me that the sheriff pulled into the trucks lane and cut him off, causing the accident. If there's a truck involved it's always their fault for some reason.
7:58 Just so people know... switching lanes in an intersection is illegal in most countries as far as i know, since the rules of driving are pretty much the exact same in each country that have signed the agreement.
43:28 I live on a country road with little traffic, I always look in my rear view and side mirror before slowing to turn left into my driveway. If I see any car and there is no oncoming traffic I go ahead and pull over into the other lane as I slow. If anyone is in a tremendous hurry they can stay in the right lane.
Hi guys. Don't forget to like and comment.
Submit your dashcam video : rrbddrivingschool@gmail.com.
Thank you for watching
Is there anyway you could leave descriptions up a few seconds longer? I always get to the last sentence and have to rewind. Thanks
@@willnotcomply1328 I just make it a habit to Pause the vid when text pops up. The only time I want to spend hitting the back arrow for the 5-second skip is when I find myself saying, "Wait -- how the heck did they manage to do that?"
In many of these vids, the dashcammers, though technically in the right for legal and insurance purposes, could have easily avoided an actual crash. I'm sure that you don't have footage sent to you, so much as you have mileage. I think it would be very instructive to show comparisons between similar events -- failures to merge, for example -- where a cammer refuses to slow down, or even speeds up, in order to keep from letting some bozo in front of them, forcing the collision to occur (e.g. ~8:45), versus one wherein the cammer practices good defensive driving (cussing OK -- road rage a big nope) and has a close call. Yeah, it would take some additional time and editing finesse, but it would certainly add an additional layer of instruction.
20:47 I don’t think the driver of this dash cam video was paying attention because from her right at that timestamp, you can see a black dot and that black dot is the woman in the wheelchair or the guy in the wheelchair, my eyesight is pretty bad and I was able to see the person in the wheelchair from the video. Yes that is incredibly stupid and completely dangerous for you to be on the highway if you don’t have reflectors on.
9:50, still drivers fault. Gotta pay attention to not only car in front but any pedestrians crossing street. Also give yourself more of a buffer. Not signing petition, you deserve the ticket. Lol 🤷🏽♂️
9:50 100% your fault, if you couldn't stop in that distance, you shouldn't be driving.
My question to this is which vehicle did he mean stopped short? The Mazda in front of the cammers car or the SUV that is stopped in front of it that can be clearly see through the windows of the Mazda?
I always stop a good distance away from pedestrian crossings when there are people crossing. I always have a buffer zone in all stops i make to allow for idiot distracted drivers behind me. Not a lot of people drive defensively and basically ride your butt and act as though you are the problem driver
Anyway even if the other car stopped in front of the pedestrian considering how fast he was he would have hit it making the other car running over them. It was actually a really good thing the other car stopped way ahead. (but anyway there was another car between them that we see leave a bit after the pedestrain clear the road)
Plus if he can't stop there it mean he was either too fast, too close to the front car or not paying enough attention, 100% the cammer fault whatever the case.
Most accidents i ever see in those videos are caused by lack of attention to what happen around.
So atosa X wants the driver in front of him to be responsible for what happens both in front AND behind themselves in this incident?
Yeah, that's reasonable... Don't hold your breath on that petition of yours!
Btw, atose X failed to drive cautiously and vigilantly and is 100% responsible for his own mistake.
Would also like to point to the speed meter in the cam. Dude didn't break late, dude didn't break at all because he has his head too far up his ass and couldn't see. Then has the audacity to see his dashcam video, upload it and be like "This isn't justified my fault just because I'm blind and didn't break and how dare he break early so I can't push him into the pedestrians.". Hopefully the person doesn't drive anymore.
8:40 Clearly saw the truck - which was ahead of them - merging into a single lane, but let's SPEED UP and not let them merge AND hit them... seriously *rolls eyes*
EXACTLY! "Gum Ball" could have avoided that situation. He was being an ass.
This is seriously about 98% of cammers out there
Both should be at fault. Because idiot drivers who push their way in to get ahead instead of falling behind fora safer spot. Aggressive drivers like that shouldn't have their license
What a goddamn idiot @gumball.
Complete idiocy at work
That first clip is why you don't buy a brand new motorcycle when you still have a permit. Buy a bike you can drop and not cringe when it hits the ground.

1:40 the audacity for those ppl to be offended that the cammer honked at them because their baby was about to be crashed into!

I know... That poor kid being raised by dumbasses....

9:52 Imagine starting a petition because you're unable to take responsibility for your own actions.
The law is fine, it's not always the fault of the person who is behind, but in your case, it absolutely was. It was a blessing they stopped way before the pedastrians, otherwise you would have blowed into the car AND forced it into the pedastrians.
Agreed. However, a petition to redesign or remove an asinine crosswalk might not be out of line. Only NYC would think that this was a good idea.
My thoughts exactly
Glad I wasn’t the only one, I was about to say the same thing, that’s why you keep a fair distance to break on time and the nerves of them to say he stop with a lot of room from pedestrians like really ? You wanted him close to the pedestrian so that when you hit him not only you hit his car but also the people smh
If the first driver had slowed to a stop instead of jamming on the break, the second driver would have had more time to stop. Why would you assume the second driver would have still plowed into the rear of the first car? Both drivers failed to use due care. And that crosswalk is a poorly placed hazard.
@@danielolson437 Because if you'd like to move your eyes to the speed meter given by the dashcam the person didn't break at all. At 45km/h this would've been fine with a little harsher break and safe 100% with an emergency break, which is something the car in front didn't even do and look at his length of break. Driver just didn't pay attention and now tries to be like "The car in front blocked my eyes and brain from working." with his petition. Also comical the person complains about stopping "way off" when that saved the pedestrians from being thrown under the car by them.
8:44 I see the guy forcing way into lane, I see driver ahead braking. I know, GIVE IT MORE GASSSSSSSS
Yeah, that's not an "accident" it's a deliberate ram.
@@KrK007 maybe not a ram but a raptor o.o
@@terrorhuhn9192 I thought it was a Tundra
He also didn't clear the snow off his hood in the second clip which I'll bet means the top of his vehicle still had a snow pack that was flying into the windscreens of all the cars behind him every time he braked.
right? the first person was an asshole for taking up 2 lanes with people both in front of and behind but the cammer was at fault for causing the "accident" by SPEEDING up so the truck couldn't move over. Like sure they are a dick but why would you fuck up your car? You sure showed him... and your insurance is gonna be pissed with you.
It is videos like these that have convinced me that a dash cam is worth investing in.
I'm waiting on my dash cam to come in, they have many on Amazon

Clip #1 - good on that guy for pulling that giant piece of metal from the road! That could have caused someone a serious problem.
I love the way he went back to get gloves, like it was some kind of herculean effort.
1:26 "Looks faster than it was"??? You can literally see the body roll from the car going around that median
10:18 "Truck was following too closely"
Following _what?_ Half a second earlier, he was following nothing but empty road.
I bought a dash cam for Christmas for myself. A couple of days ago this channel popped up in my RUclips video feed and I decided to check it out. After reading description for each clip and seeing how many people lie to not take blame I’m very happy I made the 50$ investment!
Dude at 4:26 doing 70 mph, See's a car turning out to the middle lane, Switches to that lane not paying attention and almost hits him, Then proceeds to get mad. 10/10 crazybob
Well now we know why he calls himself crazybob although crazyboob would be more like it. HE was the problem.
Yeah, I just wished he would shut the hell up 🙄 Total tool who thinks just because he got a dashcam, everything he does is okay. Screw guys like that
To be fair, he probably wasn't actually expecting him to turn into the middle lane, as that's very illegal
Yeah he's the asshole going 20 miles over the posted speed limit.
Yea and he's also one of those guys that says "right away".
I am amazed at just how many drivers choose to hit the horn rather than their brakes 🤔 ... they obviously haven't realized how the controls on motor vehicles work.
its amazing.
i rather stomp my brake and find a way to steer out of the accident about to happening then honk the horn.
What if, now hear me out on this, what if they did *BOTH* at the same time? Yeah, that sounds too absurd to work.
You stole those words from my mouth...i mean, i was going to say the same thing. Minute 55:00 for example. First of all, the driver of the dash cam must not be riding faster because he is in a slower lane, and second he didn't hit the brake and let the driver next to him incorporate to his lane. He also had the blinking lights on.
Holding your horn for a long period of time is stupid, but if you want to driving school you would've learned using your horn is a great way of communicating with other drivers.
I cheered when the guy actually braked and avoided an accident! It CAN happen!
Imagine having all that space in the parking lot and parking RIGHT NEXT to another vehicle when you’re having car issues
may be the idiot driver thought their car would get lonely whilst they went shopping so wanted to give it another to cuddle up to !! ( sorry could not resist a bit of sarcasm)
There wasn't all that space previously and it wasn't noticeable on fire till she got out if the car
Yeah I hope the owner of the truck they parked next to sued for damages
@@jamesTBurke Did you totally miss the start of the video with her pulling past a half empty row? 13:30
I'm starting to see a pattern here... A lot of these "slow/lazy" merge incidents could be avoided with either driver just deciding to de-escalate the situation. Listen. NO ONE enjoys traffic. Probably a lot less of a hassle to just let them merge than to prove it's "my spot" and deal with an accident/inconvenience/repairs, even if it isn't your fault... Just saying, you'll be pissed off for like an hour or two versus waiting for your car to get out of the shop for possibly weeks (Yes, the other guy is an asshole, but both parties can lower the temperature.) Queue jumpers and late mergers are still assholes, though... You are absolutely correct to feel that and KNOW that.
Go on, honk your horns, yell out your window, flash your high-beams, but assholes are gonna asshole. You can prove 'em wrong on a low-traffic street if you wanna get all legal on them and have the free-time to devote to it. Or you can just let those pricks merge, be pissed about it and bitch to your family or co-workers and not have to miss work, get a rental, or have to depreciate your car's value just to be right... Yeah, it sucks at the time, but I tried to be "right" once. Lost 3 weeks of my car that I loved, (and about 20% of the value) had to take almost 20 hours off of work, and was raising my blood pressure, bitching with insurance companies and having to get accident reports to them due to clerical issues (this was before dashcams and cell phones with cameras). A delay of 15 seconds to slam on the brakes to a halt, gather my wits, then accelerate again after grabbing the stuff that flew forward would have been better, in my eyes, now that I am 10 years past it.
Calm the "F" down Billy. All I'm saying. Driving angry benefits NO ONE. Especially not those that have to move over due to the accident you guys were involved in... one little tap can mean hundreds or more are delayed from their appointments, or getting to work on time, or missing a movie. Because you were right and had to prove it.
Sorry for the rant/dissertation, but I figured someone ought to say it.... It's sometimes better to be home without a police interaction than to be right and have a car in the shop...
You hit the reason on the head with "my spot"
Assholes are gonna asshole. LOL. Think you touched on everything I was thinking, good post.
That’s how I feel I literally tell people when I’m driving in the car “come join us come merge have at it”
Well said 🙂 watching these clips is hard because half of the “victims” will then honk their horn, cuss, speed up and yell at the other driver. What good is that gonna do? 4:38 is an example. That guy with the dash cam is visibly speeding up and screaming at the blue car. Meanwhile he’s endangering other drivers on the road because he’s focused on speeding up to yell at blue car. We as adult drivers need to get our shit together. Road rage is NEVER ok. Be the light you want to see in the world.
Yes, just let the other dude in so you can get on with your life - who cares about the other guy.
8:43 In most incidents that result in a crash from someone changing lanes, it’s usually the person who didn’t see the other driver in there blindspot and hits them. But in this occasion I would say that the camera is 100% at fault, he literally sped up so the tundra would hit him like wtf 🤦♂️
I'm sure the cops would call that failing to share the road!
There was no reason at all for that collision.
Just the campers attitude!
That's what caused the accident!
The guy at 6:11 says "Oh shit" then takes like 2 seconds to hit the brake pedal after that. Has the reaction time of a rock. He easily could have braked and went to the right and had plenty of time to stop before that intersection.
I noticed that too! Guy was in la-la land or something. Definitely his fault, he was clearly not being an attentive driver
Well if you Read the caption it says "I had a shirt that was gonna fly out the window, went to grab it--" so he was saying Oh Shit at the shirt, THEN on top of that he slammed the break and "when I braked the car slid" so. Y'know.
@@killerslowpoke I caught that too and came looking for the comments.

Truck driver was partialy guilty - he didnt even hit the brakes! He hit him at ful speed even though he noticied him way before
@@sirniburek3048 there was no time to hit the breaks. This happened very quickly, the truck driver had probably just lifted his foot off the gas when he hit him. Pretend you are the truck driver seeing this for the first time. Put your right foot down like it's on the gas, and see if you can hit the break before you hit the car. No cheating.

40:16 Freakes was driving like a maniac I am pretty sure it was her fault and shouldn't have physically touched that man's vehicle. If she was scared for her life she wouldn't have left her vehicle trying to damage his. Her daughter was spazzing out like a lunatic.
Im thinking the same damn thing!!!! Might not be the full situation that happened but your daughter tried to beat on that mans car and you kicked it!!!! Yes you should be judged for the rest of your life WHAT IF YOU WOULDVE HIT THE OTHER KID WHILE YOUR CHILD IS SCREAMING LIKE A LUNATIC!!! like what!?! Hate people like this
Exactly. People scared for their lives drive away, they don't jump out and attack the other car. Her name is appropriate. Universe has a sense of humor.
@@aminawilliamson9529 I've seen that video twice, and I was curious, so I looked it up. The woman in the red coat is named Melissa Freake. Her side of the story was that she wasn't wearing a mask in a store (she claimed a medical exemption), and the man in the video insulted her as she left the store. She basically followed him in her car for a while, and he cut her off at some point, which resulted in that video. According to her, her daughter (the one in black doing the high pitched screaming and hanging out the window) has mental issues and was wound up by the situation.
She was initially not charged with anything, but was later charged with careless driving after police received some new footage.
@Jor Tra Even if the mother's story is 100% true as she presented it in the article (which I don't believe) she still comes out looking pretty bad.
But let's have some sympathy for the daughter rather that insulting her? I didn't say mentally slow, I said mental issues; i.e. probably doesn't handle stress well. I absolutely do believe she has some kind of mental issue (mentally stable people don't generally behave that way, even when stressed out), and I can only imagine it is made worse or caused by the behavior of her mother. That's not her fault, and calling her nasty and a freak is kinda despicable.
@Jor Tra I didn't say anything about not condemning her actions, I said that calling her a nasty freak was dispicible. A mental illness combined with poor parenting (both of which I see evidence for in the video) can lead to lead to that kind of behavior. The behavior is wrong, but writing off the person as a nasty freak is also wrong in my opinion.
Ray N YOU did 100% the CORRECT thing ....... stopped to assist if needed. You save the other driver more abuse POSSIBLY more physical + you have the video if there is ever evidence required by Law Enforcement. Please do NOT EVER STOP being a good Samaritan !!!!! well done !!!!!!

9:50 Absolutely no chance with your petition. Utterly clueless driving on your part to end up in the back of him. There are exceptions to it being the fault of the person behind (car in front reverses, or pulls suddenly into your lane then slams on brakes, etc). None of that applies here - car in front stopped correctly because there was a pedestrian crossing, with pedestrians on it. Watching the video for the first time I anticipated the car in front stopping because I could see the pedestrians. Leave more space, pay attention to what is in front (not just the car in front) and accept when you've made a mistake and try to learn from it.
Looks like the guy stopped for people on the road.
I'm shocked, no one is talking about the guy that hit the homeless man. That was horrific, very traumatizing for both. I hope the homeless man is okay and is helped.

54:59 Jason H Pekin dashcam: The other driver is not a bully - you are a jerk. How about just slowiing down a tiny bit and letting the other car over? Would it kill you to drive with a little courtesy?
It was both, let's be honest. Signalling never gives you the right of way. Plus, courtesy isn't actually courtesy if they are obligated to do it. It's up to the person with the right of way to make the decision.
Example: You ask to enter someone's house and they invite you in, and let's say you expect the courtesy of being offered something to eat. If they don't offer it, would you be right to just get up and help yourself to the fridge without permission? Or do you just accept that they aren't very hospitable?

10:00 truck should not have been found at fault either. He was not following to close. You changed lanes right in front of him. However, the dashcam footage cleared you but the red car that left the seen should be the only one found at fault.
Yeah, that one confuses me because unless the pickup was behind him and also swerved and then hit him then it was not his fault. The cammer does not explain where the truck was at all so no clue on it.
Agree!!
THIS! he wasn't following too close. They went into the other friggen lane without indicating because of the red car. Trucks can't just stop on a dime...why TF was that trucker found at fault in any way?!
its really impressive to see how many of these could've been avoided easily. it's also impressive to see how many of them should NOT be allowed to drive a car let alone have a license
13:53 I totally get that the driver was distraught, but jesus, look at that giant parking lot. Parking right next to another car was never a safe decision. She's entirely in the wrong for what she did there. :/
Parking lot looked pretty full before she parked, from what i could see anyways. I think it was better to park in a corner kinda area like she did. Of course it's tragic the truck caught on fire, but if there wasn't a better spot to park, there was nothing else she could do except what she did. Go inside, call fire department, and warn everyone she could.
The driver at 4:28, according to his dashcam, was traveling at 68mph. While the blue car should not have pulled out in front like it did, the fact that he was going almost 20mph over the speed limit (50 mph) sign a few feet further on, did not help his case any.
it appears that most of these drivers have anger issues coupled with dangerous driving...these are all preventable....
I love how half these campers are all indignant, yet it was all their fault for following too close, or failing to make room, or whatever. Just cuz u have a camera doesn’t make you right.
They should be required to have a sign on their roof, visible from all sides, saying "BEWARE - CAMMER"
We Need More good guys like the one in this first clip. Great Job and thank you.
Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of seniors driving the wrong way or doing things that are incredibly dangerous. For clarity, I have no issue with seniors who drive even when they drive slowly. That said, I personally believe anyone over 65 who has cognitive decline or has a medical condition which may impair their ability to drive should be required to complete a driving test (covered by the government) with an examiner to ensure they are driving safely and defensively. Too many innocent people are killed every year because a senior was unfit to drive. I also believe anyone with a medical condition that may impair their driving ability should be tested at least every two years.
absolutely agree!!
And what about the 95% of people who aren't Seniors yet who cause almost ALL of the accidents?
I hear what you’re saying and agree that something needs to be done as it is not seniors who are causing most accidents. Until our traffic laws have serious consequences with a zero level of tolerance, we’ll continue to see drivers ignore their responsibility to drive safely. Although auto makers continue to add or improve safety features, someone needs to develop a tamper proof device that monitors how the driver is operating the vehicle and applies an automatic fine following consecutive violations. Or, you remove the driver and have antonymous driving. Cheers.
I believe that everybody, regardless of age, gender, ability, etc., should be required to retake the written and driving portion of the license test at least every 10 years. I know someone who has been driving for about 70 years. Just think of all the new laws that have passed since she got her license! This would both provide revenue to the states and educate people on the newest laws and hopefully weed out some of the incompetent drivers without being prejudicial to any group of people. I didn't drive for many years because of a horrible car accident and my license lapsed while I was recovering. When I started driving again, I had to retake everything, and I was totally amazed at what I had forgot or didn't know.
And there are as many or more younger drivers that have caused deaths in vehicle accidents…do they get a pass? Your statement about not having anything against senior drivers is BS
The lights on tow trucks are to alert drivers that they have a heavy load, make wide turns, and may have a swinging back end. They are not emergency lights and claim no exemptions from traffic laws.
I was about to disagree until I read it again. 🤣 I'm tired. Trying to get this stupid thing to install on my laptop. I give up tonight!
I thought you were talking about vehicles having to change lanes for a vehicle on the shoulder.
Some of the drivers on the videos are asshole's and could've chilled and not caused accidents... Y'all, take the less aggresive approach until other action is actually warranted.. Be smart and reserve your aggression...
1:16 Blasting down that curvy road how did he expect anyone to see him? LOL
It was obviously on fast-forward. The cammer even stated that it looked faster than it was.
@@wendybabendy It wasn't on fast forward. The driver appeared to be doing about 35-40 MPH and probably made up the "faster than it looks" part to cover for his dangerous driving.
@@wendybabendy If it was in fast forward, The music playing in his car would also be in fast forward...
Is it just me or do you find yourself after watching a few hours of these "driving fail' videos saying to yourself "I am never driving again" and I have been driving for over 35 years. Just Sayin'...
Thank you all cammers for describing exactly what you video shows as if we’re all idiots.
3:53 why would they compensate or refund you for work they did do? They agreed to pay the repairs, that has nothing to do with the work they were doing.
my guess is that they were not planning on paying for any of the damages, and only did because they got caught with the desk him I'm so the driver felt entitled because they were already lying scum bag that they should not pay for the work that was already done they're both assholes
Just another person who is wronged in some way and immediately sees dollar signs. Or Euro signs, rather.
@@Lincolntowncoupe more like British pounds 😁 Halfords is in the UK
Agreed.... The purpose of insurance is to make you whole again.... Not give you a jackpot payout
To be fair, the incident probably left them car-less for another week or two, and they tried to cover it up in the first place. The least they could do is cover the $500 original fee. That’s called decent customer service lol.
Almost 1 hour of entertainment . Keep up the good work ! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
24:29 the multiple angles was a beautiful touch.
Sick AF
And the runners' sick jump
6:46 I understand that the truck needed to stop ,but them screaming what do I do blew me away. They literally were sitting there screaming what do I do, what do I do, you put on your emergency blinkers on and you start reversing while blaring your horn. You do not sit there and wait to get hit
i was thinking the same shii lmao
3:00 sir,,, you had enough time to stop safely, if he had to slam on his brakes he clearly was not paying attention
The truck driver is clearly at fault what are you on about
@@fretless7099 yeah he pulled out in front of the cammer shame on him, but the guy had more than enough time to see that and slow down 🙄
@@haileycharlebois5237 and he did stop smart one. Plus these cameras make it look a lot farther than it actually is.
20:22
That's the reason I ask drivers when stopped if it's clear. I always honk if it's not. Also no matter what always say the license plate letters and digits, your camera might not be clear enough to see the digits.
"Got you on dashhh cam! Putting you on RUclips!!!" LOL
Girl friend with the the bike you need a bigger area to practice with. Take your time and you'll be fine
The girlfriend was just watching the boyfriend with his new bike. She was holding the mirror for him. HE DID THAT!
Edited- went back and rewatched.... you are RIGHT... it was the girlfriend and she needs to stay off it!
@@vermontmom4232 wow, someone who really admit that he/she was wrong.. that rare these days. Got my respect for that^^
Personally I would ask her to do the license training again … idk about USA license system but where I used to live we had to train a really low spread and control the weight of the bike …
No absolutely not, there is no good exuse for ANY of those drops. The third time was ridiculous, unteachable
You will not be fine. Do not ride a bike
Otras veces por el celular tienen estos Asidentes Gracias José
These videos prove there are way too many people on the roads who clearly should never ever drive a vehicle!
7:33
"Im having car troubles"
Boss: " can you still make your shift"
"For that paper yes gawd"
I wish these had descriptions like how the person felt or what they were thinking moments before they wreck their own cars
*Brad F150 Owner* "yeah i just didnt wanna be 30 seconds later for work so i dove into the other lane cuz fuck em and thats how i flipped it"
I just wanna try to understand what(if anything) is going on in their little heads😂
well, that's just how Brad rolls. 😏
2:20 You have to really wonder what kind of bizarre psychological problem someone has that causes them to get that completely unglued because they got honked at. To this guy, being honked at has somehow harmed him in ways that can only suitably be solved by violence. Because of a horn. Sad and pathetic.
He takes things way too personally. He must feel so bad about himself that when someone claims he's done wrong, he can't take it. Either that or so arrogant. Either way, he put many lives in danger over his embarrassing ego. He's an adult only on the outside and should be ashamed.
I think it's a pride thing. He believes he is perfect yet being honked at indicates otherwise.
11:36 you can’t tell me the cammer wasn’t following way too closely
58:13 Sure the driver that rear-ended you gets the blame but this is actually your fault. Don't "be nice" and stop in the middle of the road to let people go when your lane is the right of way. YOU broke the rules and behaved unpredictably instead of just continuing straight like EVERYBODY expected you to do. That light you refer to was a block away and was green before you would have ever gotten to it. OBEY THE RULES. The whole reason for them is so that others can reasonably predict behaviors of other vehicles.
Wrong. Driver behind didnt expect anything cause he wasnt paying attention! Driver's behind fault 100%
Hard to put the fault for this accident on the cammer since the guy behind should be paying attention but i really really want to. The cammer IS doing something hazardous and totally unpredictable. He is trying to "be nice" and let someone else go but really you are just confusing people. You're not turning, you're not at a stop sign or a light so you shouldn't be stopping here. If you did this on a driving test you should fail. Don't just stop in the middle of the street. You will get rear ended eventually
@@sirniburek3048
No. This is at least partially the fault of the dope who decided to make a hazard of himself by stopping in the middle of the road for an incredibly stupid reason.
I love it when they say "you're going on RUclips " like it's gonna stop their bad driving 🤣
18:40 I live in Eastern Europe, aprox. 8-9 time zones away and I was sure that was going to be a SWIFT driver dumbfuckery the moment I saw truck parking lot.
The truck crashed SWITFLY into the other truck
I'll see myself out
9:52 I've watched this 5 more times and from the first time, to the last time, it's evident you could have avoided this accident. And you would have had plenty of time to stop if you weren't distracted by something or looking at more than the car in front of you.
The real question is who tf thinks it's a good idea to have a crosswalk thru a highway off ramp?
A lot of these people need to deal with their anger issues. The "we almost died" an 7.15, had me laughing 🤣
I love AZHWY88's explanation of the car in his clip, "car on the freeway in Los Angeles doing 80mph with no front left tire", like its just a typical normal thing to see in the Freeway there, lmmfao
How do you keep dropping your bike? You have both feet down and that bike is super light
Weak ass legs
@@Drewsky840 LOL
It's just because she doesn't have anyone teaching her how to ride. She is fumbling through it trying to figure it out herself.
18:37 as soon as I saw Swift on the door I KNEW Swift was going to fuck up someone's day and I was not wrong. As long as you can see out of one eye, reach the pedals, and keep a single finger on the steering wheel, swift will hire you.
Yep. Saw the trucks ahead and to the left wondering what was gonna happen, the looked right and thought "Oh, Swift's gonna happen."
@@midlifecrisisincarnate that's usually the answer. 🤣
I mean I watch these videos praying nobody dies...🙆🏽♂️
WTF !?! A guy feels free to park his car in the middle of an 8 lane on just one side freeway ! He was creating a deadly situation for those around him and commiting a felony. Total justification for him to be run over, except that leaves his parked car as an obstacle. If I was the Trucker I'd have done what was done, but if I was the car directly behind who's life was endangered for no reason, he'd have been under my wheels the second he stepped out.
Who the hell was stupid enough to buy a girl a motorcycle when she can't even ride a bicycle? 🙄
21:40 that's in my area and I can't even begin to count the number of times I've seen cars swerve to avoid that exact jut-out. It definitely almost got me the first few times I started driving that route. I hope they fix that shit soon if they haven't already.
That's terrifying. Why isn't there a shoulder/buffer zone between the lane and that divider? Whoever designed that is insane. I'd definitely be going after the city with that one.
3:26 Of course it's still driveable, I swear some of these dashcammers make such a big deal out of the tiniest little bumps and scrapes.
I don't even believe they said it wasn't his fault.
Nothing wrong with the car stopping in front of him.
He was following to close on the turn!
*I nearly jumped out of my skin when that poor guy hit that homeless man who was sitting in the dark in his wheelchair. I hope the man ended up being ok*
@9.53 I believe in most countries you need to leave a gap long enough to react and stop in if the car in front of you suddenly stops, tailgating is the term used to describe not doing this. Deliberately causing an accident (crash) is also usually against the law (break checking). You were following to close or not paying attention, your fault.
Amazed at the poor reaction time of some drivers.
Rear ender on exit to 401 East - car in rear definitely at fault. The stop was gradual, not sudden, and the pedestrians stepping into the crosswalk were clearly visible.
Yup! Totally at fault! Pedestrians have the right away!
I don't care who signs his petition!
He is still at fault!
9:50 my guy you didn't brake until 2 seconds after the Mazda's lights lit up so don't *even*
I was looking for somebody that noticed that
No petition for this guy it’s bad driving
19:20 ish.... tow truck drivers do NOT have the right to pull out n heavy traffic without city or county officers to assist.
We’re always in such a hurry.
I’m guilty of this @ times as well.
Well except for the guy in the wheelchair. He wasn’t in a hurry
He was just cruising along, taking up actual road lanes.
Muse have been mentally handicapped as well.
14:19 I couldn't stop laughing at the idea that the driver got out and "ran to the forest."
Crazybob has some serious anger issues going on there! Dude, it’s not that serious, and you could’ve slowed down a little bit!
54:25 I would have told her to shove her apology and filed assault charges on her. She rammed your car deliberately AND she had a child with her.
42:47 "A semi truck veered off the road."
Looks to me that the sheriff pulled into the trucks lane and cut him off, causing the accident.
If there's a truck involved it's always their fault for some reason.
They are cheap and plentiful to replace
@@glenpope4955 The point I was making was that it was the officers fault, not the truck drivers fault.
CONCLUSION: WE ALL NEED DASHCAMS!!! ⚠️📸
13:33 did everything right except pulling up right next to another vehicle.
34:07 how do you have half your body hanging out of a car during a roll over and still make it out alive? Wow!
One more roll and it would have been a different ending.
@1:56 I see a bunch of left turn signs on the traffic lights. How is that a confusing intersection?
Yeah it looks like he should have been in the right lane.
No, the driver was correct. Both lanes can go "straight" (really slightly left) and the left lane can turn fully left. But the signs are confusing.
Two of those "left turn signs" are actually straight only while only one is actually left turn, that is why it is confusing I mean it confused you.
Thats some pretty questionable signage. Those curves threw me off all the way to the reply section.
7:58 Just so people know... switching lanes in an intersection is illegal in most countries as far as i know, since the rules of driving are pretty much the exact same in each country that have signed the agreement.
It took me a while to find this comment, apparently nobody care about that clip
43:28 I live on a country road with little traffic, I always look in my rear view and side mirror before slowing to turn left into my driveway. If I see any car and there is no oncoming traffic I go ahead and pull over into the other lane as I slow. If anyone is in a tremendous hurry they can stay in the right lane.
