hi
*#3*
Get *off* of your phones....
We need Yackaty Sax playing in this video! 🤕😖
I forgive you if your forcing that and sorry if I’m wrong in anyway and sorry if this is mean in anyway
How much do u pay? At least $100 buckaroos!
One thing that dash cam videos have taught me is to get past a truck as fast as you can, and if you can't then get back behind it. Never stay next to a truck and match its speed.
Yes Sir my dad had a transfer dump truck and trailer he always said do not ever pace beside a big truck they have blind spots and tires that can blow at any time !
Correct, stay away from the big trucks.
Absolutely correct - either pass it by several car lengths or stay completely behind it. Another tip, never pull up beside a semi on your left at a traffic light, these things sometimes require 2 lanes to turn right and won’t see you because you’re in his blind spot. Rule of thumb - if you can’t see the driver in HIS mirrors, he CANNOT see you.
Not a big deal with typical trucks.
I only worry about fuel and chemical tankers, and weird looking loads. Of course, mind the blind spots.
Keep in mind that on average, more trucks have dash cams than passenger cars. So always an abundant supply of spectacular crash videos.
Trucker here. Good call. We hate it when yall stay steady beside us or directly behind us where we cant see yall. Lol now if we can just get 4 wheelers to put their phones down and pay attention lol
What I've learned watching this: Whether it has 4 tires or 18...if the driver is an idiot, accidents WILL happen.
Stop the presses… new story for the cover
That also applies to two and three wheel motorcycles
Accidents will happen whether you're an idiot or not.
This is true, but there’s mechanical failures that cause accidents as well.
@@truckingwithtobee And you can also be minding your own business doing everything right and get taken out by an idiot.
1:23 instantly knew that was a fatality
yea, that guy was dumb as hell for pulling out like that.
Get off of your phones...
@@Mivic666 supposedly he was drunk driving. I have had more than one person very close to me die due to drunk drivers so I have no sympathy for that clip 3.
he pulled off a dirt road to a main road. he didnt yield. sad that had to happen.
Sad but natural selection.
“Insurance company contacted me to ask if my lights were on.” If you can’t see a 14’ foot tall obstruction in your path, no amount of lights is gonna fix that. Any excuse for an insurance company not to pay will be exploited.
“And what color was your underwear?”
In broad daylight
People seem to forget that if you can't see a 2 ton object you should NEVER be on the road, let alone a truck.
Just wondering if there are many Semi truck roll overs on 77s through Fancy Gap??? When I drive from Ohio to South Carolina in a car I am WHITE KNUCKLE and virtually holding my breath until I get out of that area!!!
I wonder if he said "no..."
5:55 "god damn it" bro just had to accept it lmfao
Bro visited his friend
🗿 if we die we die
Sorry bro I was on climaxing
When I first started to drive, I was taught that if you can't see the truck driver.. they can't see you.
After I got out of the service, I became a local driver and was shocked by the insane entitlement of drivers thinking a truck could stop in 100 feet at 60mph.. they Don't.
i always say 1.000 feet if running lite or 10,000 feet running heavy. and yes i'm a 4 wheeler.🤣
Especially at a red light up ahead, the idiots in cars will quickly pass a heavily loaded semi to only get in front of it at the light severely lessening the stopping distance!
I experience this so often myself
when pulling a trailer! BIG egos with tiny brains!
Yup, people don't realize how difficult it is for my truck to slow down or speed up, I get cutt off all the time.
60 mph = 88 feet per second.
@@brianmcgill1290 actually a unloaded trailer takes longer to stop then a loaded trailer.
“They fled and left their plate” how sweet of them❤
I was driving a Quad axle dump one summer and had a 4 wheeler do the same thing. I pulled over looked at the cars that pulled over as witnesses and had to ask” who just ran into my Truck” people told me the driver took off! Sheriff came the dummy left his plate the cops were at his house waiting for him when he pulled up!
Bless their heart!
Parting gift 😂
I’m a trucker with over 10 years of experience out here and I am absolutely embarrassed by the lack of defensive driving by a number of the truckers shown in this video who got into accidents with 4-wheelers because they assumed that the 4-wheelers wouldn’t do stupid things! Be observant AND drive defensively, drivers!!!
I'm noticng more videos were the trucker is the one road raging . What happened to the quality of truckers
yep, im not a trucker but i got family that is, and the lack defensive driving is the majority of the problem , either from car or trucker
Bad part 4-wheelers are getting much worse and a lot more aggressive. Some need to be taught a lesson. No point in the cops doing anything about it cause the liberal left set them free or do not want to do anything about it. Always said today if someone wrecks solo not involving me or others and driving very aggressive I will not stop. They want to drive like a idiot so they can call for help themselves or die. They put themselves in that situation so they can live with the outcome!
@@niyablakewe get tired of ppl in cars being assholes. Too many of them. On the phone, entitled, they don't follow any rules pf the road.
10:28 for example. I'm a HC Truck driver here in Australia. Some people need anger management classes before they're allowed a truck licence 😮
Thank god for dash cams. They save so many truckers from headaches when the other driver lies!
doesn't really help'em when the trucker is the one at fault
@@unkulwilly Most of the time it is the other dumbass drivers and not the trucker. Most of these vids prove that!
@@unkulwillywell obviously???
Bro said go to your truck like he was getting onto a toddler 😭
Might as well been honking for the same shit for 5 minutes! Left foot clutch, right foot brake!
why do you call a lorry for a "truck"?
@@anderstermansen130 different people say different things, leave him alone
3:04 That van was minding its own business but was forcefully sent to cut grass 😂
Yea I felt bad for that guy was going to leave this comment
lol that driver must have wondered what the hell just happened.
😂🤣 I thought the same. Poor guy probably finished a long shift and was looking forward to a brew and instead took a ride off the freeway.
That accident was totally preventable. The truck driver should've known the cars lane was running out. Defensive driving is best driving.
Thank God there was no drop off like a over pass or a bridge over water.
1:15 The poor trucker's going to have to live with that memory, even though he had no way of stopping or preventing it. I'm not even sure if a regular car could've done anything with that amount of time. I hope the trucker gets therapy.
the pickup would’ve survived if he kept going. but to just stop literally right in front of it??
@@jstnnn1 Fear and panic.
He locked up the wheels I think. It doesn't look like they're turning at all. ABS would have definitely helped, but I dunno if it would have been enough..
@@AlphaHumphrey…
ABS actually INCREASES your stopping distance. Its purpose is to allow you to steer while braking hard. It does this by intermittently RELEASING brakes at alternating wheels (in rapid succession), which means it will take longer to actually stop.
With or without ABS… stopping within that distance, was entirely impossible.
@@bobinthewest8559. ABS works by keeping the brakes just below the limit of where the wheels would lock. the system varies a bit between makes and some are adjusted to also allow for steering. But in general with VERY few exceptions it's going to be the shortest distance you can stop the car. Locking the wheels and sliding takes lots more room AND means you can't steer. The pickup might have made it if he hadn't braked at all (or hit the accelerator) but there's no possible way for him to have stopped except for driving correctly (not speeding, looking for cross traffic) in the first place. ABS brakes better than any person ever could and it will save your life.
"her husband, who was very calm and apologetic..."
YAY!
"They lied to their insurance and said I hit them."
BOO!
Asians eh? 😀
@@kenticser Nah get outta here with that stuff. Not cool
@@AjaySharma-tg1jc my experience. Maybe yours is different.
@@kenticseryour experience doesn’t define the entire Asian community
Sorry that your experience made you a racist, praying that you say the wrong thing in the wrong place one day 🙏@@kenticser
6:22 "go to your truck" 😂
I had a semi rear end my prius. Lifted my car up and moved it. But his squishy plastic bumper and my plastic bumper just absorbed the impact. It was wild. When I got out to look, saw a little paint trade but bumper still sturdy, looked up at the trucker and gave a thumbs up. He gave me a signal of wiping sweat off his brow, like "Phew! Close call" and we both kept on driving. I like to think he still tells the tale of the new prius driver he rear-ended who did not ask for insurance information.
If your car was LIFTED and MOVED, there's damage underneath you cannot see, I promise you.
Good on you. I slightly tapped the rear bumper of a van that a woman was driving onto a ramp that gives plenty of excelleration space to merge into traffic , but she stopped and used it as a yield right turn instead! There was only a slight scuff to her rear bumper and she told me not to worry because her husband could easily buff it up
The next time I renewed my insurance the person asked me if there were any accidents since, and I honestly said only a minor incident, and she said Oh no! we were sued for 300000 dollars by a woman who claimed serious whiplash and trauma! My rates went up because of her lie, and I had no dash cam at that time!
Moral of the story: 5000lb car vs 80,000lb truck, car loses every time.
As far as damage is concerned, absolutely. But a good proportion of these clips show the trucker at fault. Truckers are supposed to have a lot more training than the average non-commercial driver, yet treat the road as if they’re driving a 5000lb vehicle. Professional drivers should do better. I know a guy that’s been driving for 30 years with close to 3 million miles driven without an “accident”. His explanation: “I always drive in the middle lane, and always let people in my lane because I don’t take it personally”. Check your ego truckers, drive like a professional, not the average car driver.
if the force of a 80,000 lb truck hitting by 70 km/hour, and the energy is released instantly will result in an impact force of 6.802.444,8 joule.for comparison a standard 308 nato round of 3590j. meaning equaly of getting hit by to 1894 rounds at the same time.
@@Asheface11 This may be true. I am not willing to take a hit by a 60-80,000 pound truck if I can avoid it just to prove I am in the right.
No truckers were harmed in this video. I can't say the same for the 4 wheelers.
@@Asheface11 Well I'm only 7 minutes in and haven't seen any instance of that yet. You must have magical eyes.
Edit: Okay, a few happen after 7 minutes.
Best driving advice I was given - always look as far ahead as possible to prepare for the worst, and always assume everyone else is not a good driver. Keep space between the vehicle ahead of you and don't lose your temper.
And remember we’re all living in a simulation. Nothing is real so it’s not worth losing your temper over.
Yep. Drive like you're invisible
It’s called “aiming high” and it works
@@MrNoName7474That goes very far. To prove it, games are simulations, few people rage at games, but they do the dumbest shit ever because it doesn't matter. If our world was perceived like games, people would do dumber shit with lighter hearts.
Just look up the Smith System, all driving schools need to implement that into the training not just for CDL but 4 wheelers as well 💪🏾
3:55 the LOOKING AHEAD skills of that driver SAVED everyone in that pickup and shielded them from 4 more hits. *Bravo Road Warriors!!!*
In 85 when I met my future husband he was in an 18 wheeler all over east coast. He said it was mind blowing how people think semis can just stop suddenly. NJ turnpike and NYC were nightmares. It was his 1st trip. He wasnt driving. Just working for a company that installed McDonalds playgrounds.
You guys could probably save lives by creating a campaign highlighting the fact that drivers are seriously unaware of the braking time of a semi....btw, what is the braking time of a semi traveling highway speed?
@@U_R_Powerful365 OK back in the mid 60s I can remember in driver's ed that they told us semis are bigger vehicles. It takes a lot longer for them to stop and slow down. I live in Illinois. Could've sworn it was in the rules of the road book also
I have had idiots try and claim a semi can stop faster than a motorcycle, because it has more tires. They completely ignore momentum and weight.
#19 the radio was in perfect sync with accident! “From idle to red line in the blink of an eye” 😂
2:36 remember folks, a bad driver never misses their exit
Except this guy
They think when the Nav robot says, "Take your exit now!" that everybody else heard it and can magically miss them diving across 3 lanes while accelerating.
My brother sent me this because this is my hometown. Hated this exit the amount of people who do the last minute exit is insane
he had his blinkers on since the clip started. yes hes an idiot, but the pick up truck cut the truck driver off. and the other driver has a low response time.
I think this bad driver missed their exit
There’s NO WAY I’m going to argue the right of way with a semi!
Glad you have a brain unlike buddy
If you are referring to #12, tbf the guy didn't get enought spare time to let the truck cut him off. However he definitely could have braked harder.
As for the trucker, if he needed to turn wide so bad he could have used both lane.
A semi is a trailer
@@vcsnick Who is buddy?
18. Insurance asked if his headlights were on. Really?! What the heck does that have to do with anything? If car driver can't see the big fat semi 2 feet away, he sure as heck can't see any headlights. LOL!
I lol'd at that too. Wouldn't have helped in any way, the guy drove into the truck before he would have noticed headlights and it was a dry road on a sunny day, just a weak decietful effort to scam the truckers' insurance to accept like a 5 - 10% fault.
Federal DOT regulations require commercial vehicles to have the headlights on while driving…
...so IF his lights were off (and it's word against word of course) then the insurer would be off the hook. Insurance companies will do whatever they can to avoid giving out their 'hard-earned' money 😛
@@Enemysnail uuhhh no...
Trick question..
If you answer "yes", they say you dazzled them.
5:42 how do you not recognize you're going backwards multiple times. Smh
09:00 “locked up and ready to go from idle to redline in the blink of an eye.”
Heh. Somebody went from redline to idle in the blink of an eye!
10:48 Don't squeeze in front of a truck, they can't see you there.
I understand that people who don't drive trucks don't have a feel for it. There should be billboards about it or something so that more people learn about it.
I think that EVERYONE who wants to get ANY type of driver’s license… should have to “qualify” to at least a bare minimum level, in all vehicle types (motorcycle, car, truck).
You can’t understand other vehicles unless you actually experience them (at least to some extent).
They actually had commercials explaining these things just as they had some explaining why you should never try beating trains.
Where I work our forklifts have blue lights that shine on the floor. Front and back. Signs on the forklift state: "where the blue light shines, the driver can't see". I treat tractor trailers the same way. I give them plenty of room because they need it.
@@bobinthewest8559 That is a fantastic idea dude.
Instead they have billboards advertising lawyers that can help to get money if you are involved in a crash with a semi
#1. That vibration was you either falling asleep behind the wheel or on your phone then feeling the rumble strips.
Not necessarily. Could’ve blown a tire or something with the suspension. Rumble strips don’t tend to make you lose control like that.
@@Fetidafexcept ‘there were no mechanical failures’ which likely means that the truck was (somehow) determined to not posses any issues that would have caused the crash. I imagine that would include a flat/blowout
Rumble strip was my first thought also…
I think you hit the nail on the head. He felt the rumble strips and then panicked and overcorrected, causing him to lose control.
@@udigenski9171 according to who?
Proof that it’s other drivers you have to worry about. Never EVER assume that anybody else on the road is NOT a complete idiot.
Big boy at 6:14 is lucky he's not eating cheeseburgers through a straw
Retired from truck driving a couple years ago...and boy,am I glad. Especially after seeing a reminder of how many stupid things I've seen over the years.
Thanks for your service brother. I can't wait to retire!
The radio commentary in #5 is pretty funny it's like the person was literally giving instructions to the trucker about getting the wreck on recording and watching it repeatedly 😂
14:16 - #27. When I saw his trailer I had a feeling a car was in it. Then he said it was his ‘81 DeLorean and I felt that in my soul. Thankfully just minor damages but still the pain.
He can just drive back to the past and avoid accident. No worries!
@@michaelditaranto4108 I saw a DeLorean kitted out to resemble the Back to the Future car driving around near my hometown. It must have been just visiting, because I only saw it once. I also saw a Batmobile just last week. I think my favorite was a WWII jeep that was billowing smoke. The man driving said it was burning oil. Coincidentally, I was substitute teaching a WWII history class that day. :)
I wish that DeLoreans weren't such crappy cars, maybe they would have made more than 8,000 of them. Heavy as heck with a standard sedan engine, 66 mph is about the fastest they can go, lol.
@@bast4rdlyreaper The car being assembled in an area smack-dab on a religious fault line like Belfast during the height of The Troubles didn't help the DeLorean's case either.
@@nymalous3428you live near Volvo, IL by chance? They’ve got a BTTF Delorean and a couple batmobiles… plus a lot of other stuff like KITT, that speeder thing from Star Wars, Smokey and the Bandit’s trams am etc etc etc.
They sometimes take them out on the road if they’re not priceless.
Fleeing the scene has become WAY too common these days.
Just assume they're going to at this point, if the car still runs. Any other result is a surprise. It's pathetic how desperate some people are to shirk any sort of responsibility
It usually means the vehicle is stolen or the runaway driver is drunk or high and probably uninsured.
As is lying to insurance companies. Appears the wild west is getting its reputation back again..lol🙄
@@rawilliams5881or have warrants
It's the migrant's way of life.
Pass trucks and leave space people. In a traffic jam just stay alert and well aware that anything is possible. Great videos. Thanks for the upload.
Road rage isn’t worth it either. Stay strong and keep your composure.
At the 19:06 mark when the Western Star rolled over the truck had an electrical failure to the brakes and the driver brought the truck to a place where he thought the least damage would be done to persons or property. The police praised his calmness and he was released from the hospital with minor injuries and was not cited. I know... l was the driver.
ahhaah this was funny
Losing your brakes on Fillmore hill in a big truck. That would royally suck!
🙏👏
" Driver said he felt a vibration" Yeah, It's called the fucking rumble strips.
That was my first thought as well 😂
Rumble strip
Panic
Over correction
Disaster
That was my take anyway
@@bobinthewest8559 Nah, something definitely happened. I spent a decent amount of time framestepping this one when it first popped up and the truck drops a little on the passenger side (if I recall right) leans and snaps left faster than I've ever seen a commanded input. You can't just say "no mechanical failure" after an accident like that because you're going to beat up and further damage things that could obscure the cause. Airbag pop? Spring shackle snap? You'd have to get a forensic engineer to make that sort of call.
@@mfree80286 …
My guess was based only on:
The information given
Occam’s razor
What I’ve observed over the course of my professional driving career (starting in 1989).
I could easily be wrong…
And it’s doubtful a sufficiently rigorous investigation to remove all doubt was ever performed.
Like I said… that was merely “my take”.
Stay safe out there 👍
It was left side tire blow on trailer with air line damage and trailer brake lock up
I always like your channel, no BS parking lot 'near'misses' just 100% real action.
Dude in #3 chose the exact wrong moment to hit the brakes...
0:01 Mother truck protecting baby truck
Thought the same, idk if he meant that or just trying to avoid the crash, but he protected the 4 wheelers
0:01...? That's the start of the video.
14:30 hearing about the delorean being in the back makes me cry 😭
Been a trucker for over twenty years, and I can say, many of these videos are tragic.
But there are some, where the trucker was just being an idiot.
Just because you have the right of way, doesn't mean you need to be an 80,000lb bully...
Keep that in mind when your buddies talk about 'hiding insurance'
@@vivalapita8484…
What do you mean by “hiding insurance”?
Need to tell that to everyone not just truckers if that’s what you’re trying to imply. Idiots are idiots no matter if they’re in a car or truck.
@@m.elizabeth0302 Yes, there are idiots out there, in all vehicles.
The big problem is, these idiots are screaming down the road at highway speeds, in 80,000lm 64 foot missiles.
@@vivalapita8484 Hiding insurance?
And who are these "Buddies" you speak of...
#18 now THAT is what an insurance scam looks like. Too many people mistake bad driving for insurance scams, but every follow-up action that driver took after the accident was red flags for insurance scam attempt.
Are you blind bro? It's common courtesy to give way to people who's lane ended.
This makes me want to get a camera on whatever I'm driving.
Good idea
You should because your own insurance will try n blame you too
Licensed for 10 years. Before I even bought my first vehicle, already owned a dashcam. Every vehicle since then, within a day or two of owning it, dashcam installed. 100% worth it.
4:14 Great awareness and reaction by the rider.
This video proves why I always stay away from the sides of semi trucks on the highway. That blind spot is HUGE!!!
I don't feel so bad when people cut off my little Civic now because apparently there are a lot of drivers out there that don't even bother to check their blind spot for the GIANT, FRICKIN' TRACTOR TRAILER in the lane they're trying to change into. Are they just going by feel?
There was a tv show called Canada's Worst Driver, very educational, in it there was a woman who thought that everyone just hit stuff. It never occurred to her to look and make sure. When she found out that the overwhelming vast majority of drivers don't hit objects while they drive it blew her mind.
So, I guess the answer to your question is: probably.
@@nymalous3428 I'm Canadian too, I loved that show, never missed a season. I always found it interesting when they'd have really aggressive drivers on that loved to tail gate mixed with drivers who drove too slow because they were scared of everything on the road. The aggressive drivers would then get to know the scared drivers better and actually start to feel bad about trying to intimidate so many on the roads and promise to change their ways.
I wish it was still on. It was the one Canadian show where you weren't proud if someone from your province or home town was on it.
@@mrquirky3626 I'm not actually Canadian, my family just found the show and liked it. I do have some friends from Canada, but they don't watch the show.
The show is a good one, and I think that a driver could learn a great deal from it, regardless of the country they were from. In fact, my youngest sister is about to get her driver's license soon and still quotes rules from the show (like "Look where you want to go"). :)
8:00 a valid question to ask in those extreme low light conditions.
It’s just an attempt (fishing) to find some way to push some of the blame onto the victim.
You’ve seen it on trucks I’m sure…
“Lights on for safety”.
So if he says, “no, my lights weren’t on.”, the insurance company will say that he didn’t “do everything possible” to prevent an accident.
That’s why I never drive with my lights off… unless I intend to hit someone and need the element of surprise 😉😂😂
This was a bright ass day. So not in this case but others, yes
i was looking for this comment...
@@kimmyb8276are you some elaborate troll or something? Have you ever detected any joke ever written
After all of these years viewing your channel and witnessing these fatalities I am so happy that you chose our video of us rescuing a dog running wild down valley parkway roads and jumping into our car. Did not think it would gather interest from this subject but it did. Please educate and learn from all of the subject matter and pass it along,it may save a few souls in the way.
18:22 dude tried to fast and furious that trailer XD
I knew I wasn't the only one thinking that
2:24 We gotta figure out a way to punish people for lying about traffic accidents. How in the world is this allowed?
Only if it's done by police report, sometimes but rarely, the police charge them with making false report/lying to LEO. But lots of people accept responsibility at the scene, then flip the opposite story to their insurance, even when they know the innocent party has dashcam evidence to the contrary; they need to make knowingly lying to insurance a type of insurance fraud felony.
1. She may have misremembered rather than lied. No doubt her memory of what happened is poor.
2. Ontario has no fault insurance, so it’s not really important. She gained no advantage by claiming what she claimed. Lying is still bad, if that’s what she did, but it doesn’t really make any difference in this one.
#1 that trucker saved that pickup driver
The pickup driver was on it.
He pulled over and stopped quickly enough so that the overturned truck most likely would never have reached him.
But the “camera truck” ensured it, lol
Incidental, but yes
I was thinking the same thing

Correction: at 6:45 - that's what happens when you attack an 80,000 lb truck with a TOYOTA (NOT a Honda). Although, I admit the results would likely be the same. You can clearly make out the Toyota emblem on the grill.

*gets into wreck*
Radio: "If an active shooter situation happened right here, right now..."
What is that audio book or whatever it is
@@threefoureight3208 idk, i wish i did
#3: The guy in the pickup didn't look before pulling out. The wreck that got them unalived is THEIR fault ENTIRELY.
Can we stop with this TikTok soft language bullshit? They died. They're fucking dead.
Clip #5: Nothing worse than an INTERRUPTION when listening to Dr. Phil during a drive! GOSH!
Just listening to Dr Phil is worse.
I rewound that clip a cpl times to figure out what happened then gave up cos Dr. Phil has a poisonously boring and irritating voice and I figured if the guys dumb enough to listen to him I no longer care who was at fault.
screw Dr Phil
3:41 #9 Easily could have been fatal. Good thing other truck was on the ball else car would have been under the wheels of that trailer.
It is why whenever somebody says people on motorcycles/driving fast/ etc say 'only hurting themselves, I call BS. Trucker minding own business will be remembering that accident. An accident is almost never just the one person and not the only one who would have to live with it.
This video was a good reminder for me to brush up on truck blind spots and no-zones 👍
The worst place to be is on the right front corner. From the nose of the trailer until you are passed their front bumper is not where you want to ever be for any amount of time more than absolutely necessary and should be avoided if possible. Even if you need to change speed, change lanes, whatever It's not a safe place to be for any length of time.
3:45 The trucker was minding his own business and still got hit 😂😂.
#3. This is why you should NEVER hesitate when driving. Be sure of yourself and make the best choice to avoid an accident. Had he just gone through he would have missed the semi...
Had he stopped at the stop sign he’d have never been in the situation to begin with.
@@LonC1966the point is if you’re gonna fuck up, follow through.
Possible suicide ...
@@LonC1966 thank you captain obvious, but he didn’t so he should have just gone through.
@@VIKTOR-ck3dx that’s true …
Clip at 17:04: There is no doubt in my mind that the BMW was attempting to brake check the semi. It is the dimwitted thing to do!
Totally, attempted insurance fraud all day, made obvious by him needlessly slowing for absaloutely no reason well below traffic flow and staying under his windshield. (*Edit) Ooops I actually meant #23, but yeah, that one too lol.
my grandpa always used to say “if he’s bigger than you, he has the right of way”
very sensible grandpa. My grandpa was a little bit nuts, he claimed he invented the question mark.
The laws of physics always have priority over road rules.
I follow the “lug nut rule”: the vehicle with the most lug nuts has the right of way.
@@macmedic892 not sure about the most lug nuts, but definitely the one with the biggest nuts usually wins!
A lot of people have never watched the movie Duel and it shows. One viewing of that movie & you'll never taunt/mess around with a truck again.
My neighbor is a retired trucker.
The trucking company that he inherited from his father was involved in hauling building materials when they were building the expressways in Chicago.
He always tells us a story about when he just pulled out of a supply yard loaded with building materials and was driving down the road so that he could get on I-90.
He noticed a Studebaker Lark with three men in it that pulled out of a bar by the side of the road and instead of going through the yellow light about 50 feet further down the road they slammed on the brakes and came to a complete stop.
He could not stop in time and he said the man in the backseat looked out the rear window and realized what was going to happen the semi went up and over the Studebaker and all three men inside were killed.
5:00 wide rights are OK, but you need to put on your blinker!! Also doesn't give right-of-way. The turn does not look sharp though, probably just a last-second change.
8:00
The insurance agent probably looked directly at the sun during the eclipse and wondered why his eyesight is really bad now
It's amazing how many are involved in accidents through no fault of their own ...
Very few accidents don’t involve anyone not at fault.
Single vehicle accidents would count.
Some multi vehicle accidents could count… based on everyone involved being a “contributor”.
@bobinthewest8559 most of the videos today ,involve someone that wasn't at fault.... the first video for example... the one with the fatality.... truck wasn't at fault ... virtually every one there was an innocent victim. Open your eyes ....
@@wutafungi …
Open YOUR eyes…
Particularly when reading.
I said, “Very few accidents DON’T involve anyone NOT AT FAULT.”
Translation:
Most accidents DO involve someone not at fault (AKA: a victim).
Try reading more slowly 😘
@@bobinthewest8559 You would need a proctologist to see your brain ...
@@wutafungi
Stop trolling and go love yourself
That number 23 dude was my original language I felt the Anger in him😂
Being a future trucker means seeing this video shows some bad things people can’t really control in a semi
This is no joke, you are gonna see this shit. Always stay alert no matter how hard it is and keep a big bubble if you can help it. Never follow close and treat everyone like there about to do something dumb. I pray you safe mile ahead of you trucker!!!
semi drivers will be a thing of the past in ten yrs might wanna start lookin for a new line of work
@@tripsix263 I'll be done working before it happens. And this theory only currently applies to dry van from what I hear.
I was hit head on by another semi while I was in my semi. I’m lucky to be alive. Look up “fatal crash hwy 93 south near Congress and Wickenburg, Arizona. It happened nine days ago, May 30, 2024 at 7:43 AM.
@@tripsix263 no idea what you’re talking about those automated trucks are many many years in the future. They don’t even have the infrastructure for it yet.
6:24 That's certainly not the semi-truck you wanna run into....that could've been disastrous. Glad everybody was ok.
10:20, #22. Cammer is at fault.
For actually hitting the other truck, yes…
But BOTH drivers are fugnuggets 😂😂
Didn't even take foot off the gas. SMH. looking for a payday.
@@samanthaf6482not just that, sped up to not let the other truck over. As someone who has been in the same situation, I hope Ms. Lynn finds a career in something she's a bit better at. Maybe sheep herder?
Came to the comments to say this. This accident was caused strickly by ego.
Y'all are really something.. The cam guy was going faster then the truck from the beginning, that truck should of waited for him to pass, white truck didn't want to be over taken that's all.
Im a truck driver and what I notice watching this is that Im much more proactive about slowing down when sombody cut's in front than most of these drivers. Yes the vehicle changing lane is at fault but many of these the truck could avoid the accident with just a dab on the breaks.
everyone is enetitled and thinks they don't have to be reactive to their environment if they have the right of way.
Disclaimer: *Nobody was injured* and not one of the parties involved in this "made for youtube reenactment" of an (alleged to have occured) "sudden decelerarion while not wearing seatbelts resulting in exiting the vehicle thru the windshield incident" that they don't even wake up and haven't the slightest idea that they've become one of the casualties who's family was just asked at the morgue, _"Is this your 16 year old daughter,"_ due to the utter insignificance of each incident being so minor and unnoticeable that we just use the term "Crashes" as clickbait as there are no crashes taking place in this video and, I can't stress this enough, *NOBODY WAS INJURED.*
Schitzophrenia
10:20 plenty of time to brake a bit to avoid a crash, but the driver decided to hit the truck....wtf
It's really hard to stop a 20,000 pound or more truck when the guy in front him is going 20 miles per hour slower than he is
26 Prime example of why NOT to ride alongside a semi... either fall back or pass
I like the breakdown and links in the description.
Well done!
10:30 the dashcammer is at fault
How the fuck is the dash camera at fault huh? Semi trucks are heavy as shit and it takes a long time for trucks to come to a complete stop explain to me how does that fucking work
@@PresleyMao because he had enough room to let the other trucker ahead of him, he didnt even need to break, juat take his foot off the gas pedal... instead he sped up
2:29 (left side of screen) I thought someone was shooting tracer rounds into the air at first glance 😂
1:32 Im sure thats %100 suicide, purposefully hit brakes and stop the middle.
I was thinking the same thing. But then again the pickup was driving down the road and could easily have missed the truck. Could be panic?
Another person also mentioned suicide.
Possibly DUI, and completely misjudged stopping distance, or just too uncoordinated to stop where he should have.
I dunno 🤷♂️
@@bobinthewest8559 My guess was also alcohol.
It's possible but I think booze, he was doing something distracted drivers do which is slowing slightly for intersection but only looking to his right, only glancing left after he was already past the give-way line, also he does look toward the gearstick like he wanted to reverse at the last second.
Sad waste either way because if he'd gunned it, even after slowing; he may well have survived with injuries as the semi would have clipped his tailgate, putting him in a spin and flipping the truck, but not obliterating the entire cab.
Great way to start the morning!
Thanks👍🏻
6:40 Its not a Honda, its Toyota!
Good job identifying your mid sized sedans. Where do you want your Western Union reward sent to?
@@talibanParadehow am I supposed to know what happens when you attack an 80,000 lb truck with a Honda if the clip had a Toyota? This is false advertising
"mind if I cut in and take off your bumper?" 😂☠️
4:32 "He was hit by a semi that got rear-ended by another semi." _I'm just another dude being played by another dude who's another dude_
20. 9:15 I thought there was somebody behind the semi ramming it at first. Nope, just a psycho in the drivers seat.
Right? definitely not the type of semi driver you want on the road with you, damn.
1:15 - Whelp..... thats a dead person :(
lol I paused it too fast but I was right. What an impact
Yep, thank goodness that driver won't harm someone with their stupidity
@@georgejohnson8674…
That was a fugnugget move for sure…

#3: The driver in the pick up truck was definitely an IDIOT because he ran the stop sign without stopping!!!!!
0:33 the vibration of his phone in his hand woke him up 😂😂
If you can't see the driver's eyes (in windshield or mirror), he can't see you.
Trucker: "Everyone survived"
Little Red Pickup Truck: "Does my life not count?"
No, came the answer
9:35 I believe I’m having a stroke
As a construction inspector, we have trainings on blind spots.
As a driver, anyone driving near semis should assume that if you are within 15 feet of a semi, they cant see you. If you pass, make sure you can see both headlights in your middle rearview (this is typically far enough a semi can see you). When in doubt, assume you cant be seen by the driver.
6:53 That dont look like a Honda.
Oh shit, and it doesn't even have plates, just dealer tags!
#17.. LMFAO
Insurance wanted to know if his lights were on...
As if that would have made a difference
Anything they can find (think of) to push blame back on you.
2:19 “good ruck everybody I turn now” I love family guy
Prayers for all of them, their families, and their salvation.
10:36 you can see the reflection of his phone screen
I called 3. I knew the driver in pickup immediately met Jesus
No doubt
Same here. Saw it and said “Jeez… If that driver made it I would be surprise…” then saw the comment of he was killed. Feel bad for the trucker - even though it wasn’t his fault he still has to live with the fact he killed someone 😢.
@KaiyaAquamarine that's something he will always live with. It's sad that even though there was nothing he could have done, it's always the what if
Good One
Hey man, way to go!
10:25 avoidable even if they did an illegal manœuvrer
