Sudden changes of mind cause accidents. If you make a mistake keep going and turn back at the next intersection rather than suddenly turning across lanes of traffic.
Yeah and GPS will always help you get to your destination even if you miss a turn or make a mistake. Not the end of the world, take a longer path instead and everyone is safer.
Highly underrated and most apt suggestion. It’s fairly simple isn’t it? Missed your turn, reroute. Wait for the traffic to clear to join in a busy road. Slow down your vehicles at the intersection and roundabouts. Don’t text and drive. Leave one and a half car length space.
Amazes me how many people on a fast road 80km/h + follow the car in front with less then 1-2 second gap and some of them you can see are on their phone, with no brakes applied until collision.
Should be 2 seconds minimum... 3, if you want extra buffer. Hardly anyone drives to the conditions either, then gets upset when they crash into someone.
i leave plenty of room when on a 80+ and highway (hell even under 70 km areas). the amount of people that cut into that gap however , never ceases to amaze me.

It’s crazy to me how many people think just because one lane of traffic has stopped and there’s a gap that they can just zoom and go through two lanes… please slow it down and look 😂 And also fellow motorbike riders, if you see the lane next to you coming to a stand still at an intersection please also slow down, mfers don’t see you.. we know it’s not your fault but you can help yourself by riding defensively..
@@waitpu4817 Pretty sure Sammy is talking about the people turning across a stopped lane of traffic, not seeing vehicles (including motorcycles) in the far lane. Lights on the rear won't do much when the people are looking at the front of the vehicle (or can't see it at all because of the stopped traffic). And for the cases where people are running up the rear of motorcycles on the end of a queue of traffic... well we have brake lights like everyone else. Rather than making them flash, how about we make people pay attention to what is already in front of them.
@@waitpu4817 Agreed. I have installed one on one of my motorbikes. About to do the same on the other one. They are worth it. Also have a brake/flasher on my helmet. Makes a difference.

That's been the worst part about teaching my kids to drive- remembering to check both ways and enter cautiously NO MATTER WHAT coz other drivers mistakes don't just end up in annoying insurance claims, they can end in death. To always remember that their fate on the road can be dependent on other drivers skill and attention.
The one at 12:04 went through the (presumably) red light from a standing start with 4 whole seconds of traffic crossing right in front before driving straight into said cross traffic.
Also a rider and totally agree. You have to watch everyone, even the ones coming up behind you. Most of the people causing these crashes should have their licence removed as they are not capable of driving a vehicle.
I've done the getting rear ended on the highway thing... almost the exact same way... don't recommend.... have not done the bonnet flyover or the "i'm an idiot" gravel slide out on the side
As the mother of 2 bike riders I agree, gives me chills. One son already flew over a bonnet and smashed his collar bone, lucky to be here actually. Not his fault at all, young girl not paying attention at a roundabout. Now I know how my mum felt with one son and a husband riding bikes. Be safe out there!
21:30 the dashcam car has 100% performed a pit manoeuvre there. Sure the car was creeping over but you can see the quick left turn movement at the moment of impact.
Or maybe what happened was that they corrected the direction their vehicle was headed, because it was being pushed right -- into oncoming traffic. It's not a pit manoeuvre when you're trying to not cause more mayhem.
@@ruthanolis there's a concrete divider for one, and secondly, next to the accelerater, is another pedal that can be used to slow the vehicle. Hand in your license, and your SUV should be crushed so that the materials it stole from the earth cash be put back to good use

The sheer number of uploaders where it may not have been their fault but the entire situation could've been avoided if they'd taken any evasive action at all.
Yeah, most people only upload these because they know that they themselves were not legally at fault but in an awful lot of them the person with the dashcam was also driving very badly. Accidents are often the result of more than one driver doing wrong.

No, I've never been a rider, so am not defending my mob. Yes, I've completed both defensive and advanced driver training.
Hot tip. Assume everyone will pull out in front of you. Watch their wheels because it's much easier to see them moving/rotating rather than the actual car moving. It might only buy you milliseconds but sometimes that's everything.
Nah, out of the wide variety of people with cams, those particular gronks _already drove that badly_ before they had cams, @@ben43. Sadly, they're very simple, predictable creatures. 🙄
The wheels is a good tip honestly, I'd back that up with little head movements if you notice them, alot of people auto pilot a mirror check without actually checking, saved me a good couple of times.

@@DavidNewmanDr If they're leaving a 2 sec gap, they aren't tailgating. But if you leave any gap, people cut you off in traffic which gets frustrating, so many people do tailgate!
Happened to me decade’s sago. Got hit me at speed, pushing into the next car and then into the next one and then into the next one. Poor dude who caused it was in shock and had his young kid with him. Everyone was ok other than my sister got some whiplash. Car was squashed. But they still repaired it. Drove like a dog after that.
Why would you do that? You should've just driven like a human, instead,@@MeppyMan. Dogs want to stick their heads out window, and their paws aren't too good with switchgear and wiper/blinker stalks. Oh, and other drivers always get distracted by dogs, and want to say hi - knowing you can't come over for a pat on the head. Really not the type of driver you want to emulate, tbh. 😒
At least the guy who blocked the right lane on a freeway while turning, was able to turn into the opposing traffic unscathed and not inconvenienced at all.
12:05 The level of dumb that's needed to move forward at the light and drive straight into some VERY obvious cross traffic is astounding. Thought your light was green? Ok, but any fool can see all that cross traffic right in front of you & figure maybe he shouldn't just drive straight into it. Amazing.
Yep, they're the worst ones. There will be thousands of clips that never get published, without a happy ending. I'm sure they haunt the people who have to go through them.
1:30 is either an intentional attempt at taking their own life or the life of the other driver. They drove a dark car at speed with no lights on the wrong side of the road and swerved to match the swerve of the oncoming car.
@@ytlurker220 Drugs would account for the poor driving but is less likely to account for the intentional swerve to match the other person. Yes its possible but its not the most likely answer.
Foreign driver unfamiliar with rental car didn’t realise on wrong side of road and couldn’t work out headlights. Then swerved by instinct the wrong way.
I swear a lot of the people sending in footage think they did nothing wrong. While showing they're tailgating or otherwise blasting down roads far too quickly. O_O Just because the speed limit is 60kph does not mean you have to be doing 61kph at a minimum.
That tradie who instantly got out to check on them and apologise.... kudos, sir! I'm not impressed with you checking your phone but thank you soooooo much for accepting what had happened and rushing to check! What a bloke!
@@jonathanwishart9104 Actually they do. You're not allowed to overtake a pilot vehicle unless you can also overtake the oversize vehicle without exceeding the speed limit. The truck and pilot contributed by not indicating way earlier than they did. Pilot vehicle should have moved over sooner and blocked that lane for the truck to move into, that's what he's there for. Lack of planning and communication.
I've been asked why I leave such a large gap in front of me when driving these days. It's because I don't trust the fuckers behind me. Whenever breaking hard I flick my eyes to the review mirror and if needs be I brake slower just so I don't get rear ended.
I leave a gap and brake early at danger spots and there will be some idiot who gets even closer because I'm not speeding and then slamming on the brakes at the last minute
I spotted a car with a dinged up front bumper behind me the other day, decided to make sure I had plenty of space for a long, slow brake, just in case.
My dad taught me that when I first got my Learners - judge your distances by whether the guy behind you can also stop. Been in a few slightly hairy situations over the years since then, and no collisions at all. Defensive driving, 100%.
1:17 nice of them to leave their whole front bumper with their license plate still on it behind also 8:40 the car had a passenger, rip 16:45 slowest reaction time ever the guy in the last clip was unhinged
16:47 they were on the brakes as soon as the car entered the road. You can clearly see the front end dip. Another example of "objects in your dash cam video are much closer than they appear"
21:31 cammer was clearly looking for an insurance pay out... although they failed completely to make it look unintentional lol. I'd love to see the police's reaction to thsr video.
I literally went looking for this comment, this guy 1000% tried to pit that guy merging. Yes you don't need to give way to merging traffic (Depending on state, here in SA you don't). But he pushed into him lmao.
Yep. 21:34 did a PERFECT pit on the escort. Yes, he was in the right to not move, but made ZERO effort to evade, or allow an escort vehicle thats doing its job of following an oversized load to PREVENT accidents, and the driver of the camera vehicle purposely hit the escort.
Cammer needs to learn some courtesy and respect on the road when it comes to oversized loads with escorts. Failing to obey an escort vehicle can result in a visit from the cops in some states as pilots have authority on the roads that over-rules the average motorist, private or professional. Don't be an ass and ignore the people who are there to protect you around the moving hazard.
If you're watching this as a non-Australian, just know that you're watching a multi-million dollar production that Australian insurance payers are bringing to you *for FREE!*
3:40, obviously the fault of the person doing the u-turn, but whenever I see somebody doing a boneheaded thing like that I NEVER just continue on to pass them while they haven't clearly stopped whatever dumb thing they're doing yet. That was easily avoidable by the cammer.
The truck was in the left turn lane. There was no reason for the cam car to expect the pilot to move across two lanes. (Keep in mind that the camera sits further ahead than the drivers eyes.. they probably couldn't see the vehicle indicating)
2:15 alarm bells should be ringing. Dude was going at 100kmph blowing the doors off backed up traffic. They should have known better and moved into the far right lane.
21:30 like wtaf. It's an oversize load and they are still not giving room despite all the indications. Not even a patrol car obviously moving into their lane does anything! Almost like they intentionally caused a situation
3:34 the dashcam guy could have just slowed down, which he should have, even if the other guy was too slow. Also, 21:30, maybe just slow down and let the car in front of you? Could have avoided another crash if ego wasn't so big.
I'm too scared to walk. No impact absorbing stuff around me. Half of those crashes ended up on the side walk. Prefer the plastic, and a gram or 2 if metal, to nothing. A lot more survivable being hit as a driver than as a pedestrian.
3:32 was totally avoidable if the driver had been more cautious. If someone pulls out in front of you and they've cut it a bit fine, just slow down. Don't speed up and try to swerve around them.
@@DaInternetBear I'm not saying the other driver was in the right, because obviously they weren't. I'm saying for the sake of avoiding collisions with idiots on the road, drive defensively and have a bit of situational awareness. The dashcammer didn't slow down at all. If he had eased on the brake knowing a car had pulled out onto the road just up ahead, it could have been prevented.
Didn’t turn left at all, remained in their lane until after being hit. The escort car indicated for two seconds before pulling in on that car, didn’t give them a chance to see the indicator and slow down.
@@EmmaDaisy Pilot should have driven better, and would have hit the cam car in another 2 seconds, but the cam car took the initiative and turned sharply into the pilot car instead.
What impatient idiots some drivers are unsafely pulling out of their lane in front of faster on coming traffic and the usual inattentive speeding idiot and the tailgaters.
Situation awareness. Be aware of all vehicles around you, like a plane/ship radar. Anticipate their intentions. If you're in the far right lane, & there's an exit coming up. Someone merge into your lane. That means they're planning to exit. Avoid accidents, even if you have the right of way, dashcam, witnesses in your favor. Insurance is trying NOT to pay anyone. If your car is fixed, things will be slightly off by millimeters, like door seal, gaps between panels. Had a parking brake locking up after a guy T-bone me.
They did indicate... as for checking their blind spot it mirrors, definitely not! Someone's clearly in the habit of "indicate and change lanes" without hesitation or observation. Then they'll yell at the person they hit saying "did you not see me indicating?"
@15:33 -- why would you loop around someone, damage your own shit and make sure you're paying for theirs just to prove some bullshit point. some folks shouldn't have licences, I swear to god.
@@BryanM63 Escort cut the cammer off, sure - definitely shouldn't have done that. But the cammer probably shouldn't have been coming up alongside in the first place, and he definitely shouldn't have reacted by turning into the collision and pitting the escort. No defensive driving, no evasive action. Cammer probably didn't actually break any laws, but he still handled the whole scenario pretty badly.
Remember folks, a lapse of concentration of 1 to 2 seconds is all it takes for an accident to occur, sometimes fatal. You're piloting a death machine every time you step into your vehicle to drive from A to B.

I know this has been posted on here a million times, but 50% or more of these accidents could have been avoided if drivers simply looked up & ahead of traffic, drove defensively, and weren't so fkn impatient! Fcuk me, it's not difficult people!
Yeah every day I gotta deal with the fuckwits on the M5 in Sydney. Had a truck 2 metres off my ass the last week in the middle lane of 3. I have a 2 second gap to the car in front. Travelling at 95k in a 100 zone. I stick my hand out of the window in a stop sign to signal him to back off. When the car on my left exits he then goes into the left lane overtakes me and then cuts in front of me and brake checks me. I hadn't brake checked him at all and stayed travelling at 95 k.
Keep off the phone, give way when required, stop at red lights, stay in your lane and keep the required distance behind the vehicle in front, secure your load. All pretty basic stuff but somehow, some people just don’t get it. And forget that they’re operating a machine that can kill someone.
Why should you have to slow down traffic flowing perfectly fine just incase some flog does what the blue car did? That's why there's so much congestion on the fucking road.

@@Chaos666Theory "GaRuNtEeD NeRvE DaMaGe" lol dude no your body goes stiff like that if you get knocked unconcious. he landed on the back of his head and knocked himself out. He COULD have concussion or even brain damage if he's unlucky but his helmet should've absorbed most of the shock. just not enough to keep him awake lol.
13:39 That Golf driver had SIX seconds to react the brake lights of the car in front and did nothing until the moment before impact. A good bet their phone was involved. Incredible.
It’s crazy to me how many people think just because one lane of traffic has stopped and there’s a gap that they can just zoom and go through two lanes… please slow it down and look 😂
And also fellow motorbike riders, if you see the lane next to you coming to a stand still at an intersection please also slow down, mfers don’t see you.. we know it’s not your fault but you can help yourself by riding defensively..
About time motorcycles had flashing rear end like bicycles.
@@waitpu4817 some do. You can get aftermarket brake lights that flash several times when you touch the brake..
@@waitpu4817 Pretty sure Sammy is talking about the people turning across a stopped lane of traffic, not seeing vehicles (including motorcycles) in the far lane.
Lights on the rear won't do much when the people are looking at the front of the vehicle (or can't see it at all because of the stopped traffic).
And for the cases where people are running up the rear of motorcycles on the end of a queue of traffic... well we have brake lights like everyone else. Rather than making them flash, how about we make people pay attention to what is already in front of them.
@@waitpu4817 Agreed. I have installed one on one of my motorbikes. About to do the same on the other one. They are worth it. Also have a brake/flasher on my helmet. Makes a difference.
@@EnergiserX I used to ride motorcycles but I only now ride a bicycle, I would get one but I know then I wouldn't ride a bicycle & that does a lot more for my health. In reference to the main topic if next time you get rear ended by some distracted negligent driver that got your lights confused with the cars rear window tail light you can at least reassure the paramedics & hospital staff it wasn't your fault you got rear ended.😄
It shocks me how many people either run the light or just go straight through a red light. Never ends well.
That's been the worst part about teaching my kids to drive- remembering to check both ways and enter cautiously NO MATTER WHAT coz other drivers mistakes don't just end up in annoying insurance claims, they can end in death. To always remember that their fate on the road can be dependent on other drivers skill and attention.
The opposite in fact: 99% of the time, red light runners get away with it ... until they don't
Yes but according to some half wits on here green doesn't mean go or right of way.
The one at 12:04 went through the (presumably) red light from a standing start with 4 whole seconds of traffic crossing right in front before driving straight into said cross traffic.
Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to have mobile phones!
...... Nor should they be allowed to drive!
As a motorbike rider, this compilation gave me massive anxiety
Also a rider and totally agree. You have to watch everyone, even the ones coming up behind you. Most of the people causing these crashes should have their licence removed as they are not capable of driving a vehicle.
there not much on the way of protection for the rider in an accident
As an ex-bike rider, these clips reinforce my belief that the fun of a bike isn't worth the torment of a terrible crash.
I've done the getting rear ended on the highway thing... almost the exact same way... don't recommend.... have not done the bonnet flyover or the "i'm an idiot" gravel slide out on the side
As the mother of 2 bike riders I agree, gives me chills. One son already flew over a bonnet and smashed his collar bone, lucky to be here actually. Not his fault at all, young girl not paying attention at a roundabout. Now I know how my mum felt with one son and a husband riding bikes. Be safe out there!
21:30 the dashcam car has 100% performed a pit manoeuvre there. Sure the car was creeping over but you can see the quick left turn movement at the moment of impact.
Good call, seriously dangerous shit, that person should not be on the road.
All so he could send a video to DCOA.
Fucking lol, the people out here that are allowed to drive blows my mind
Or maybe what happened was that they corrected the direction their vehicle was headed, because it was being pushed right -- into oncoming traffic. It's not a pit manoeuvre when you're trying to not cause more mayhem.
@@ruthanolis there's a concrete divider for one, and secondly, next to the accelerater, is another pedal that can be used to slow the vehicle. Hand in your license, and your SUV should be crushed so that the materials it stole from the earth cash be put back to good use
15:20 You can see them waving the other car through. That's usually a bad idea. If you wave someone through, they will often just blindly follow your directions and assume it's safe.
Ultimately it is still the driver of the troopy to giveway to both lanes before entering
Don’t be impatient and block the intersection.
In NSW you can cop a fine if you wave a car through and it is involved in an accident
21:40 you deliberately pitted the escort. You should have backed off

It just depends on time of day and driver fatigue sometimes I think.
they're quicker on the horn than on the brakes
Yeah, most people only upload these because they know that they themselves were not legally at fault but in an awful lot of them the person with the dashcam was also driving very badly. Accidents are often the result of more than one driver doing wrong.

Yes, I've completed both defensive and advanced driver training.
Hot tip. Assume everyone will pull out in front of you. Watch their wheels because it's much easier to see them moving/rotating rather than the actual car moving. It might only buy you milliseconds but sometimes that's everything.

The amount of people that get hit or stop to help without making the scene safe for themselves first is astonishing. Too many people have died including off duty emergency workers because of this. Of course they want to help but you have to make sure you will be safe doing that before attending to others. Situational awareness is so important. You don't want to rush blindly to help, only to be rear ended by more cars and killed along with the person you're attempting to help. Stay safe out there people.

The older you get the faster things look
Leave a 3 second gap to the vehicle in front and I think 50% of accidents never happen.
Nah, when they're looking at their phones, the 3 second gap just means the crash happens 3 seconds later.....
I found more tailgaters in Melbourne than in England. Wandering across lanes in a roundabout it the English thing.
Not giving certain drivers a licence to start with would stop 75% of these accidents.
@@DavidNewmanDr If they're leaving a 2 sec gap, they aren't tailgating.
But if you leave any gap, people cut you off in traffic which gets frustrating, so many people do tailgate!

looks like black 4wd up ahead caused it all chucking illegal u turn .. hope he gets caught
Happened to me decade’s sago. Got hit me at speed, pushing into the next car and then into the next one and then into the next one.
Poor dude who caused it was in shock and had his young kid with him. Everyone was ok other than my sister got some whiplash.
Car was squashed. But they still repaired it. Drove like a dog after that.
Why would you do that? You should've just driven like a human, instead,@@MeppyMan.
Dogs want to stick their heads out window, and their paws aren't too good with switchgear and wiper/blinker stalks. Oh, and other drivers always get distracted by dogs, and want to say hi - knowing you can't come over for a pat on the head.
Really not the type of driver you want to emulate, tbh. 😒
@assininecomment1630 well there was that man in Japan who spent $16,000 to turn himself into a dog, he said it made him happy.
At least the guy who blocked the right lane on a freeway while turning, was able to turn into the opposing traffic unscathed and not inconvenienced at all.
12:05 The level of dumb that's needed to move forward at the light and drive straight into some VERY obvious cross traffic is astounding. Thought your light was green? Ok, but any fool can see all that cross traffic right in front of you & figure maybe he shouldn't just drive straight into it. Amazing.
The prick at 15:46 should be charged with criminal intent as well as pay for the damages. NSW plate DH71UC.
1:22 Don't worry love, his rego plates are still stuck to his front bumper on your front lawn.🤣
Don't matter. It's pretty obviously a stolen car.
It really rams home the potential seriousness of these crashes when you hear parents checking on their children after a crash.
Yep, they're the worst ones. There will be thousands of clips that never get published, without a happy ending. I'm sure they haunt the people who have to go through them.
1:30 is either an intentional attempt at taking their own life or the life of the other driver. They drove a dark car at speed with no lights on the wrong side of the road and swerved to match the swerve of the oncoming car.
or, you know... drugs
@@ytlurker220 Drugs would account for the poor driving but is less likely to account for the intentional swerve to match the other person. Yes its possible but its not the most likely answer.
Foreign driver unfamiliar with rental car didn’t realise on wrong side of road and couldn’t work out headlights. Then swerved by instinct the wrong way.
@@hannahxx17 yup. Being impaired they may have only seen the oncoming car, or thought to swerve last minute.
Could’ve been an elderly driver who was having difficulties.
I swear a lot of the people sending in footage think they did nothing wrong. While showing they're tailgating or otherwise blasting down roads far too quickly. O_O Just because the speed limit is 60kph does not mean you have to be doing 61kph at a minimum.
So you're the pr1ck always 5 -10 under
That tradie who instantly got out to check on them and apologise.... kudos, sir! I'm not impressed with you checking your phone but thank you soooooo much for accepting what had happened and rushing to check! What a bloke!
The last one. 🤦🏻♀️ Why do people think it’s a good idea to ignore a pilot vehicle? Dash driver is a tool.
Pilot vehicle still doesn't have right of way.
They should have planned the route better and moved over sooner, not last minute shit putting everyone in danger.
Looked like they deliberately crashed into the pilot vehicle too.
Escort was in front of dashcam, had right of way
@@jonathanwishart9104 Actually they do. You're not allowed to overtake a pilot vehicle unless you can also overtake the oversize vehicle without exceeding the speed limit. The truck and pilot contributed by not indicating way earlier than they did. Pilot vehicle should have moved over sooner and blocked that lane for the truck to move into, that's what he's there for. Lack of planning and communication.
I've been asked why I leave such a large gap in front of me when driving these days. It's because I don't trust the fuckers behind me. Whenever breaking hard I flick my eyes to the review mirror and if needs be I brake slower just so I don't get rear ended.
I leave a gap and brake early at danger spots and there will be some idiot who gets even closer because I'm not speeding and then slamming on the brakes at the last minute
I spotted a car with a dinged up front bumper behind me the other day, decided to make sure I had plenty of space for a long, slow brake, just in case.
My dad taught me that when I first got my Learners - judge your distances by whether the guy behind you can also stop. Been in a few slightly hairy situations over the years since then, and no collisions at all. Defensive driving, 100%.
The closer the guy behind me is sitting, the slower I go.
1:17 nice of them to leave their whole front bumper with their license plate still on it behind
also 8:40 the car had a passenger, rip
16:45 slowest reaction time ever
the guy in the last clip was unhinged
Probably stolen
they don't call it the death seat for nothing
judging by how the driver reacted it might have been insurance fraud at 16:45
1:17 I was thinking why she didn't take a photo of the license plate before they drove off. Didn't consider that the car left it behind
16:47 they were on the brakes as soon as the car entered the road. You can clearly see the front end dip.
Another example of "objects in your dash cam video are much closer than they appear"
21:31 cammer was clearly looking for an insurance pay out... although they failed completely to make it look unintentional lol. I'd love to see the police's reaction to thsr video.
I literally went looking for this comment, this guy 1000% tried to pit that guy merging. Yes you don't need to give way to merging traffic (Depending on state, here in SA you don't). But he pushed into him lmao.
Yep. 21:34 did a PERFECT pit on the escort. Yes, he was in the right to not move, but made ZERO effort to evade, or allow an escort vehicle thats doing its job of following an oversized load to PREVENT accidents, and the driver of the camera vehicle purposely hit the escort.
Cammer needs to learn some courtesy and respect on the road when it comes to oversized loads with escorts.
Failing to obey an escort vehicle can result in a visit from the cops in some states as pilots have authority on the roads that over-rules the average motorist, private or professional.
Don't be an ass and ignore the people who are there to protect you around the moving hazard.
18:40 "watch the curb". I don't know why but that really cracked me up.

Situation awareness. Be aware of all vehicles around you, like a plane/ship radar. Anticipate their intentions. If you're in the far right lane, & there's an exit coming up. Someone merge into your lane. That means they're planning to exit.
Avoid accidents, even if you have the right of way, dashcam, witnesses in your favor. Insurance is trying NOT to pay anyone. If your car is fixed, things will be slightly off by millimeters, like door seal, gaps between panels. Had a parking brake locking up after a guy T-bone me.

Pretty obvious what was going to happen
@@msingh1078 irrelevant to my comment, but thanks for making an effort.
A reminder to anyone involved in a vehicular crash as a witness or victim: Avoid MOVING all participants unless their life depends on it, until the paramedics arrive. Do NOT move them out of the vehicle.

Man 6:35 is going to cost the insurance company a lot of money. Multiple vehicle accident
I’m beginning to see why our road toll is going up. People just aren’t paying attention when on the roads. Seems like a lot of these drivers are in Gaga land
I know this has been posted on here a million times, but 50% or more of these accidents could have been avoided if drivers simply looked up & ahead of traffic, drove defensively, and weren't so fkn impatient! Fcuk me, it's not difficult people!
Every episode!
Yeah every day I gotta deal with the fuckwits on the M5 in Sydney. Had a truck 2 metres off my ass the last week in the middle lane of 3. I have a 2 second gap to the car in front. Travelling at 95k in a 100 zone. I stick my hand out of the window in a stop sign to signal him to back off. When the car on my left exits he then goes into the left lane overtakes me and then cuts in front of me and brake checks me. I hadn't brake checked him at all and stayed travelling at 95 k.
Keep off the phone, give way when required, stop at red lights, stay in your lane and keep the required distance behind the vehicle in front, secure your load. All pretty basic stuff but somehow, some people just don’t get it. And forget that they’re operating a machine that can kill someone.
Common sense ain't so common !
0:57 brightspark left his front bumper with the rego plate in the front yard.
The number of times I see people not slowing at least a little going past lines of stationary traffic astounds me. Someone WILL ALWAYS jump out
Why should you have to slow down traffic flowing perfectly fine just incase some flog does what the blue car did? That's why there's so much congestion on the fucking road.
@@JackieLeee it's also why there are so many accidents.
Being in the right is all well and good until you're in a crash
had this happen twice to me and both times I avoided a collision due to perceiving the risk and slowing down. and stopping in one case.
4:52 tailgating is fine because I can stop in time
The spastic behind you thinking the exact same thing:
