My car has a blind spot that can hide whole cars at roundabouts, let alone motorcycles or pedestrians. That said, I move around so I can see what it may be hiding.
Correct. I try to show some of them to learners to give them an idea of what to watch out for. Especially emergency vehicles, which you tend to see less of while driving.
You’re not wrong. They prove the old sayings, "Expect the unexpected", and "Anything can happen" on the road. I must say, though, the quick reactions from the good drivers are admirable.
@@MissEmai0110They weren't saying it would help you pass a hazard perception test. They were saying it teaches you more about hazard perception than anything VicRoads or similar organisations generate. If you watch often enough you will see patterns of behaviour or visual cues that can assist any driver to develop greater situational awareness of the hazards that exist on the roads.
Random koala crossings, rogue tires, drivers with a death wish, lightning strikes, questionable music tastes and the inventive swearing only Australians seem capable of producing - this has it all!
My thoughts exactly. Although many older bike lanes are only on one side, and I'm fairly sure they used to be usable in both directions (not sure what the rules are now - the only one near me has been overgrown with weeds for at least a decade now so it's unusable anyway). Either way, I wouldn't ride the wrong way down one.
When I was in high school, in 2005, students were told specifically to ride against traffic so we could see what was coming. The majority of incidents were bikes being hit from behind. I'm not saying the driver in this case is 100% at fault, more like 50/50, but it really should be routine to look both directions when pulling out.
I was curious about this, it seemed like it would be the law that you can only ride in the correct direction. But I thought I better check. MyLicence (The SA Govenment website for explanations of road laws) says "If you are riding on a road with a bicycle lane, you must if practicable, ride in the bicycle lane. You may move out of the bicycle lane to avoid debris, potholes, or to safely overtake another bicycle rider. You must only ride in the correct direction in the bicycle lane". So it is indeed the case that these people were being idiots.
Rare to see someone genuinely apologetic on this channel. That said at least in QLD, I believe it is the law, and in my opinion logical that you must ride in the same direction as the other lanes. "Direction of travel in a bicycle lane must be the same direction as the traffic in the lane next to the bicycle lane." Bike network should be separate (and actually developed), cycling at half the speed that cars are going with them being entirely invisible behind you is scary.
it's a weird phenomena that has been noticed all around the world: people have gone utterly feral on the roads since Covid. It's like in the lockdowns humanity lost all sense of how to deal with other people and became 100% ME FIRST AND FUCK EVERYONE ELSE. totally crazy
@carpathianken Yep, loose nuts give forewarning with vibrations, noise, car handling feels loose. Wheel over taking you suddenly is definitely snapped studs.

Maybe it’s just how I position myself driving, but how is the biker in her blindspot? She should’ve been able to see him before she entered the roundabout
@@Soccera0 exactly. Most drivers would simply slam on the brakes and slide if they didn’t have ABS. First time I ever did driver training, ABS was rare (early 1990s). Almost everyone slammed in the brakes and slid. By the end of the day, they learnt to modulate their brake foot, but many still didn’t grasp it as well as they could have. It takes skill and knowing your car’s limits to outbrake what ABS can do, and sadly, 95% (or more) drivers don’t have that. I have proved it myself several times at advanced driving courses I organise for our work reps. I did one in my older car (non-ABS 80s model) and another in one of the company cars. I had the shortest stopping distance out of everyone (likely due to my car weighing only 1400kg vs modern ones being 1700kg to 2t). The main thing was that I know the car so well (I’ve owned these models for over 30 years) that I can brake on the limit (in the dry). Motorsport practice also helps. But you are right, the vast majority of drivers would not be able to stop as short without ABS. That’s the reason you no longer see 2 thick black lines (skid marks) leading up to a rear-ender these days, but there were lots of these “evidence lines” in the 80s & 90s.
@@ryanmorrison4874 mate, it absolutely does NOT take longer to stop a car with ABS than without. ABS has significantly smaller braking distance in the dry and in the wet the difference is so large you may as well be in a different country.

She didn't admit her error, she blamed it on the bike being in the blind spot from her pillar, which is absolute horse crap. She simply was not paying any attention at all.
@@atmunn In light of your comment I took a minute to look up a suggested answer/observation on the matter and got "An apology can be an indicator of admitting error, but it's not always the case. Sometimes people apologise to express regret for a situation without necessarily admitting fault. It depends on the context and wording of the apology". So yes, to a degree I appreciate and agree with you. Cheers/upvoted your comment.
I'm calling bullshit on that one when you're 20-30ft from the roundabout you should be able to see most of what's on it pretty well in that forward/peripheral area. Modern A-pillars are awful for visibility, get that but its really just not an excuse, not much compensation for writing off a bike and breaking someone's leg either
It was part of the log book back when I did it, that was almost 20 years ago though. Problem is all the foreigners 'teaching' and passing other foreigners who have no business driving
it is, and i did a great parallel park on my test and on my L's, but sometimes i have off days. and sometimes when you miscalculate the start of the park, it ruins the whole thing. usually i restart and try again, if i still can't do it, i know it ain't happening and i drive away in shame lol, so i understand that persons struggle😭
3:37 - Evidence shows that no, he couldn't do it, even when putting his back into it. 14:03 - The audacity to flash the cammer when YOU'RE heading the wrong way is mind-blowing. 27:41 - Having experienced that once in my life (and once was more than enough!), I _felt_ that sigh.

Cyclist is an idiot - riding at night without lights and clearly no helmet. If only the ute driver had suddenly slammed on his brakes, claiming there was a cat in the road...
Hey dashcam community, you need to have the audio on. we need the "WTF?" and the " Is this c-word serious" "the F-U ahole" and all those verbals that make it great.
Audio also can help provide additional information for insurance assessment if something happens out of view. Remember, you can cut out the embarrassing singing before submitting to DCOA, but you can't add back in the missing indicator sounds to show the insurance company you had the indicator on at the roundabout.

*AND TRUCKS* should be barred from using roundabouts. They seem to think they have a superior right to roll through because they don't want to stop. I guess planning for it ahead of time is in the 'too hard' basket.
4:44 I'm pretty sure that bus is actually in the right, and the DC is in the wrong. The lanes zip merge before the start of the on ramp, so technically it is a single lane and the bus is in front?
@@AnotherDoug It`s just plain common sense to give way to them regardless if they are in the wrong or not.They are bigger then you and to have an accident just to fulfil ones fragile ego is just plain STUPID!!!
14:10 Possibly a reason why he didn't reverse: Red light cameras don't detect 0 km/h vehicles, they only detect vehicles in motion. I'm not condoning this, as normally anyone would reverse back. Just saying that is a possibility. Another possibility is he can't see directly behind him, thus he's stuck, if he reverses he could reverse in a hidden car or person.
Truck driver @27.35 who failed to give way on roundabout needs a talking to by Police. That's the kind of driving that gets anyone in a small car (Honda Jazz) turned into human pulp. Psycho to think you can drive a truck that size with a dog trailer like it's a 500cc GP bike.
@ 17:56. Love these videos of people assuming they can make a U Turn virtually anywhere and without consideration to those behind them. The righteousness is unreal.
I feel sorry for the 4wd owner at 2:35 the car left next to them and it put them off for sure. I always wait for people to finish parking before I leave the spot next to me.
8.27 In my blind spot mate.... sorry..... Nah lady, if you can't see what's coming at a roundabout or intersection, lean a bit and check.... lazy assed excuses.
In MOST cases an Accident is not really an Accident but "An Altercation between two Vehicles caused by an INCOMPETENT Driver not being OBSERVANT. - Accident - (an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally)
You mean the one where the bus decided late in the game that it was in the wrong lane and needed to merge and exit, and just expected everyone else to part like the Red Sea? Not good from either of them. Bus driver needs to plan more than 50m in front of him (something, something, professional driver). DC needs more awareness, but for me it's on the bus.
Bus might have been a little late, but they did give plenty of notice for the driver to slow down and let them in if they were actually paying attention.
Love the audio commentary on most of these. Having watched a fair amount of the British ones, the difference is quite astounding. A lot of the British ones end with threats of violence. Very rare here, just lots of swearing, which is fine and a natural response to stress. Makes me proud to be Australian🇦🇺

4:46, DC car at fault. The lines stop and bus has right of way to merge. DC car doesn’t back off to allow the bus to merge and then blocks the bus from taking the exit. “What’s this lunatic doing?”… look in the mirror mate.

She didn't admit her error, she blamed it on the bike being in the blind spot from her pillar, which is absolute horse crap. She simply was not paying any attention at all.
@@atmunn In light of your comment I took a minute to look up a suggested answer/observation on the matter and got "An apology can be an indicator of admitting error, but it's not always the case. Sometimes people apologise to express regret for a situation without necessarily admitting fault. It depends on the context and wording of the apology".
So yes, to a degree I appreciate and agree with you. Cheers/upvoted your comment.
@@atmunnyup, transferring blame…. that blind spot is always there, so what does a good driver do? compensates to makes sure it isn’t a factor
I'm calling bullshit on that one when you're 20-30ft from the roundabout you should be able to see most of what's on it pretty well in that forward/peripheral area.
Modern A-pillars are awful for visibility, get that but its really just not an excuse, not much compensation for writing off a bike and breaking someone's leg either
@@krissteel4074 Can't disagree with that kris. 👍🏻

Thirty minutes of completely avoidable carnage. And it's only week one!
2:42 must’ve been listening to the same radio station, decided to listen to Tiesto and Run that red light 😂
LMAO
5:00 I respect the triple lane cross to get out of the guys way. Too bad the driver can’t read the situation.
I love how fast you putting together these and big up to those who submitted their dashcam

Isn’t parallel parking one of the requirements to getting your P’s?
Not since the log book system was introduced.
It was part of the log book back when I did it, that was almost 20 years ago though. Problem is all the foreigners 'teaching' and passing other foreigners who have no business driving
it is, and i did a great parallel park on my test and on my L's, but sometimes i have off days. and sometimes when you miscalculate the start of the park, it ruins the whole thing. usually i restart and try again, if i still can't do it, i know it ain't happening and i drive away in shame lol, so i understand that persons struggle😭
How many fully licenced drivers who consider themselves safe drivers do you reckon could still reliably do it?
i'd say it's a bare minimum of showing a person can drive a vehicle. Standards have dropped dramatically
Anytime I see my neighbourhood in these videos, I get excited, then I get annoyed
13:15 now wait… waiiiittt… ok. Go now if you want to be on dashcams Australia!
Man I can't believe it's March already.
19.00 jeezuss, he didn't get hurt by the vehicle but the voice shredded his ear holes 😅😅.
6:50 Was waiting for the Ute to slam on the brakes.
I can forgive a thousand mistakes without anger, but deliberate stupidity of any sort tends to get mu=y gander.
3:37 - Evidence shows that no, he couldn't do it, even when putting his back into it.
14:03 - The audacity to flash the cammer when YOU'RE heading the wrong way is mind-blowing.
27:41 - Having experienced that once in my life (and once was more than enough!), I _felt_ that sigh. "Lucky" for me, though, my tire tucked in nicely between the fender and control arm. Twisted the heck out of the fender, but at least I didn't have to go chase it down.
For all those drivers that think because the drive a large vehicle they can get a way with pushing in, DASH CAM is here!
6:50 - ♪ _That's the power of love!_ ♪
Cyclist is an idiot - riding at night without lights and clearly no helmet. If only the ute driver had suddenly slammed on his brakes, claiming there was a cat in the road...
When this bike hits 88kmh you’re going to see some serious shit
17:13 Got all the lights and still can't see
Typical pavement princess driver 🤣
Hey dashcam community, you need to have the audio on. we need the "WTF?" and the " Is this c-word serious" "the F-U ahole" and all those verbals that make it great.
Audio also can help provide additional information for insurance assessment if something happens out of view. Remember, you can cut out the embarrassing singing before submitting to DCOA, but you can't add back in the missing indicator sounds to show the insurance company you had the indicator on at the roundabout.
Some of the clips get muted because of the music playing on the radio being copyrighted
And aim the camera at the goddamn road, not the sky or the dash.
@@-Mr-Frost- its a shame that they have to go through every clip and mute any that have the slightest hint of claimable material, but if they dont some 8th party that has a right to someone who has a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a cover of a remix of some well known song will strike it and start hoovering up any revenue DCOA may otherwise make from the video
@tin2001 thank you for this, i never thought about it from perspective, i have my audio off because i dont want anyone to have to hear my trashy taste in music, i might have to turn it back on in that case.
13:45 I can just imagine that talk from the cop "What the fuck are you doing?". 😂
Situation normal, everybody driving in their own little parallel universe.
At 8:07 grey car is thinking, I'll be safe over there, no one allowed in that lane, LOL
And the dash cam camera was evidently thinking of the same thing, trying to cross the unbroken line !
6:50 Save yourself thousands by harnessing the inner junkie instead of buying an electric bicycle
4:00 finally a dash cammer that doesn't have the reaction speed of internet explorer
We need safety sign utes to protect us from safety sign utes 15:43
*AND TRUCKS* should be barred from using roundabouts. They seem to think they have a superior right to roll through because they don't want to stop. I guess planning for it ahead of time is in the 'too hard' basket.
After 28 years of living and driving in Sydney, watching these makes me realise the best day was the day I left there.
4:44 I'm pretty sure that bus is actually in the right, and the DC is in the wrong. The lanes zip merge before the start of the on ramp, so technically it is a single lane and the bus is in front?
that and you're supposed to give way to busses anyway when they're merging?? there's signs on the back
@@tommo464 The give way to bus rule only applies when they are pulling into traffic from a bus stop.
@@AnotherDoug It`s just plain common sense to give way to them regardless if they are in the wrong or not.They are bigger then you and to have an accident just to fulfil ones fragile ego is just plain STUPID!!!
@@samkaur4098 I was just clarifying the Road Rule - not saying what should or should not have happened in this clip.
Far out. 31 minutes of pure bliss. Love your work and thanks heaps!!!
Scott should do long ones, still waiting to see my stuff from early January....
24:13 I don't suppose that the helicopter at 24:25 is chasing him too.
With three cop cars in hot pursuit, I think you're on the money there.
That’s why the cops aren’t in too much of a hurry
Good pick up I didn’t notice it.
I thought there was a bug on my laptop screen lol
8:00 bro REALLY took the whole "make way for emergency vehicles" a little too extreme
14:10 Possibly a reason why he didn't reverse: Red light cameras don't detect 0 km/h vehicles, they only detect vehicles in motion. I'm not condoning this, as normally anyone would reverse back. Just saying that is a possibility.
Another possibility is he can't see directly behind him, thus he's stuck, if he reverses he could reverse in a hidden car or person.
Very generous of you and I guess it could be. Van still turned left against the red light though.
@@MattyK166 Agreed, that part mucked up my idea a bit.
I continue to be amazed by the driving behavior of so many drivers.
4:45 "like a glooove"
I think a 3 sec sound bite from 2:37 might be my new SMS alert
Truck driver @27.35 who failed to give way on roundabout needs a talking to by Police. That's the kind of driving that gets anyone in a small car (Honda Jazz) turned into human pulp. Psycho to think you can drive a truck that size with a dog trailer like it's a 500cc GP bike.
Ripley had it figured out in Aliens when she said """Did IQ's just drop sharply while I was away?" .
Dude really thinking he was in the right by not giving way to that bus 4:41
30:49 nice touch at the end
29:52 he's an angry elf
@ 17:56. Love these videos of people assuming they can make a U Turn virtually anywhere and without consideration to those behind them. The righteousness is unreal.
Yes, and sadly it’s becoming far more common. As soon as the GPS says “perform a U turn” they do it. Anywhere, any time.
That’s how you drive in Victoria! 😜
21:08. I feel like we’re missing an important part before this video actually starts.
I feel sorry for the 4wd owner at 2:35 the car left next to them and it put them off for sure.
I always wait for people to finish parking before I leave the spot next to me.
bus had right of way at 4:50
The gods appear angry with roundabouts this week.
Recently bought a front/rear dashcam setup due to how many of these videos I've watched hahah, cheers!
Some nice reviews can be left for Peter Wain Plumbing Ltd me thinks
If he's that lazy when going through a roundabout, I'd hate to see how sloppy his plumbing work is...
9:00 I've definitely had a few surprises jump out from that blind spot myself, it's not fun
RED BEARD!!!!
8.27 In my blind spot mate.... sorry..... Nah lady, if you can't see what's coming at a roundabout or intersection, lean a bit and check.... lazy assed excuses.
Tubby blind spot wasn’t even looking. Off to Maccas, starving.
@30:00, small man syndrome?
Nailed it. 👍
What do we call it when it’s a taller man? I think it’s just asshole syndrome.
The tough guy's ears probably popped from the change in altitude when he jumped off that trailer :D
14:37 "he's blockin' the road isn't he?" "yea" "yea"

4:44 too busy making a call to notice the indicator and slow down to give way for the bus. Poor form mate, poor form.
Well put ... They big and need more room to turn and come with a red and yellow sign on the back to warn you about that :)
You mean the one where the bus decided late in the game that it was in the wrong lane and needed to merge and exit, and just expected everyone else to part like the Red Sea? Not good from either of them. Bus driver needs to plan more than 50m in front of him (something, something, professional driver). DC needs more awareness, but for me it's on the bus.
Bus had right of way with merge as he was ahead, agreed poor form.
Bus driver avoided a collision as at least he was aware of what’s going on.
Bus might have been a little late, but they did give plenty of notice for the driver to slow down and let them in if they were actually paying attention.

Love the audio commentary on most of these. Having watched a fair amount of the British ones, the difference is quite astounding. A lot of the British ones end with threats of violence. Very rare here, just lots of swearing, which is fine and a natural response to stress. Makes me proud to be Australian🇦🇺
To all the people who push a button to save the footage, doing it during the action causes shaking of the camera and sometimes an announcement from the camera. You can wait a minute or so, because the camera will save 10 minutes each side of the time you press the button. Thanks.
depends on the camera, I have a stupid Navman and it saves 3 seconds prior and 17 seconds later, Navman does not see this as an issue, Make more sense 17 seconds prior so you can see what led up to the event, but no Navman know better. I now press the photo and use that as a timestamp to look back for the normal vid. No I would not buy Navman again.
30:00 little man copping a feel at the end. Trying to see what a big man feels like.
11:25 Dashcam driver can see the problem, and just when the other driver tries to fix it, dashcam driver cuts him off. Very uncool.
Typical telsa driver
9.02 Blind spot nothing wearing ridiculous sunglasses on cloudy day was real reason ; REAL DULLARD THAT ONE
After having cataract surgery, I have to wear sunglasses on cloudy days. Amazing how much the light is intensified. She doesn't seem to be of an age to have had that surgery...maybe she wants people to think she's a star?? As a motorcycle rider, drivers like her scare the crap out of me! I always ride like every other vehicle is out to get me. Thankful that I live rural and I don't ride in cities...do need to watch out for deer and stray cattle though!
4:46, DC car at fault. The lines stop and bus has right of way to merge. DC car doesn’t back off to allow the bus to merge and then blocks the bus from taking the exit. “What’s this lunatic doing?”… look in the mirror mate.
Bloody hell, so many mandatory background McDonald's in this one.
