The fact that no one was injured in that first crash is a testament to how safe cars have become. Had that crash happened in the 70s or 80s the people in the car that flipped probably wouldn’t have survived.
I noticed this in almost all of Wham Bams videos! I saw collisions similar to those in Signal 30, but there were few, if any, injuries. Modern cars really are designed with safety in mind. Of course, I don't know if anyone would submit the more grave crashes.
Agree. I'm 62 and have seen deadly accidents with vehicles with far less damage. My aunt died in just such an accident in mid 70's. Seat belts, air bages and cars that absorb crash energy all add up.
Thats because in the 70's and 80's there was no seat belt laws. Had nothing to do with the structure of the cars.. Also back then cars didnt go near as fast as today. But the cars back then where actually built better as they are steal and iron.. Cars todays are plastic and aluminum. thats why all your crash derby cars are from the 70s and 80's.
At 2:40, what i suspect happened is a lower ball joint failure. The lower ball joint connects the lower control arm to the steering knuckle. This is how the car steers when you turn the steering wheel. When the lower ball joint fails, at a high enough speed, the wheel becomes separated from the steering knuckle and axle. Think of it like your shoulder dislocating, the ball joints were designed after the ball joints in your shoulder.
The fact that a 4 month old survived that crash is incredible. As for Shelby, I wonder if her insurance went up even tho she was clearly not at fault in either collision.
I'm sure it did for Shelby.. My old best friend got rear-ended on the highway because of traffic, she got a new car and 2 months later she got tboned by an old man who was pulling out of a stop sign while she was on a straight away with no lights/signs.. Got another new car and 3 months after that happened her ex boyfriend was driving with no license, hit someone, ran, and dumped the car... All these incidents happened within the same summer lol.. Her mom had been getting her the cars because they were in her name as well as the insurance.. That hit and run was the last call for her mom lol.. I told her she should be lucky she had a parent that had got her that many cars.. I had to buy every one of mine on my own.. She went a long time without a car after that incident..
10:06, IMO Josh is at fault, the sign shows right turn only. The Tahoe’s tires clearly pointing right, then pulling up like it’s a second lane. His insurance should be paying for the damages. Anyone else agree?
I was looking for this comment also. If the Tahoe's insurance sees this video, they'll be demanding a recount. It is quite obvious that the Tahoe is turning right by just looking at the front wheel. He can't go in any other direction, directed by the right turn only sign.
I think Andrew's Mustang was really wanting to take a piece out of a crowd, but after realizing there were no pedestrians it settled back down. Pedestrians are safe for another few days. Huzzah!
Great driving by Zachary! Didn't speed off at the green light without checking it was clear first, this is exactly how we should all drive. A green light doesn't mean the intersection is clear, always keep that in mind!
That last video reminds me of a similar incident that happened to me but we were both backing out.. I was entirely backed out and starting to go to drive and in my rear camera I saw this guy just starting to back out into me and I laid on the horn.. he stopped… and then started to continue backing up to my surprise. Luckily I was in my Dad’s pickup truck so there was no damage but I couldn’t believe how oblivious someone could be and he was not old either! Sometimes it’s so blatant and weird I wonder if it’s intentional.
#16. - my guess is the tie rod broke. The tie rod is what controls the turning of the wheel, and the moment that breaks loose, the wheel can go in any direction it feels like.
Broken ball joint. If it was tie rod then the wheel would've "caved in" on the other axis. I've had _plenty_ of GM cars have this happen, often on the same car because General Monkey seemed to have really cheaped out on the 'steel' holding their cars together dating back to the early 80s. Think nothing of it ~ my mind always defaults to broken rods when I see a wheel snap into some weird position it's not supposed to be in so you and I thought the same.
9:00 I would assume it was probably a ball joint. My car recently got hit by a lady who’s ball joint went out and her front right tire with the brake assembly and knuckle got thrown away from the car attached only by the brake hose
Also the lady's "excuse" is valid. If you look at the security footage, the mustang would have been in the blind spot, especially considering the side mirrors would be pointing slightly above what they would usually point because the car was leaning forward.
When he's first pulling up you can see the sign that says "no left turn".. The road is several lanes wide so a left turn would be tough anyways. Also, her wheels and position of her vehicle are indicating she's going to the right, even if she may be a bit to the left side of the driveway, it's obvious to a non- idiot that it's a one way if you look at the shape of it. Mustang has it all wrong..
9:13 Haha, what a coincidence! My name is also Zachary, but I am not the submitter of this clip. I live 5 minutes from there! I was watching this with my mother, and we both thought the coincidence was funny. That intersection is Constitution Ave & Marksheffel Rd. We both also agree that red light runners are EXTREMELY COMMON. Hello Zachary!
Yeah I was thinking that he should have followed to yell out the LP since you cannot see it on camera. My dash cam isn't the greatest either which is why I got a new one but I have yet to install it lmao which I will be doing soon.
*Just for anyone confused on #8 **7:12** about the cammer running the red* (Edit: He did… in Tennessee) (Edit: In Indiana) If you proceed past a white line into the intersection while the light is green, it’s not considered running a red. You sometimes have to, as they say “take control of the intersection” or else traffic in the turn lane will never clear. This is considering many intersections don’t have a protected left turn and during busy traffic hours you’d never have an opportunity. Obviously that second part doesn’t pertain to this clip considering they do have a protected turn for a certain time, then an unprotected left turn. My only credentials is being a truck driver but I’d always recommend looking up your states local laws, sometimes it could be different.
This is a popular belief. Here’s another: “If I go the speed limit traffic will just run over me and that’s dangerous.” No, you don’t have to “take control of the intersection”. Wait your turn. It may take a minute. It may take several. Hopefully someone will be courteous and yield to you so you can make the turn sooner. “If you proceed past a white line into an intersection while the light is green, it’s not considered running a red.” Well not yet it isn’t, but if you pass through the intersection at any point and the light is red, congratulations, you ran a red light, JUST LIKE THIS CAMMER DID at 7:19. Not only did you run it but you created a hazard doing so (the reason why it isn’t allowed). On page 54 of the TN driver license manual it states the following, “Do not enter an intersection unless you can get through it without having to stop. You should wait until traffic in front of you clears so that you are not blocking the intersection. If your vehicle is left blocking an intersection (with or without a traffic signal), it prevents other traffic from proceeding and you could be ticketed.” That’s my state. Perhaps you can provide your state’s information that proves what you say is true? Driving in traffic is weird. There’s the law, then there’s these common (mis)understandings about how things really ‘work’. I’m the former and you appear to be the latter. You’re in good company, as most seem to fall into your camp. Look, I’m not a traffic cop, I’m just a lawful and careful driver. I don’t get mad at the traffic around me when they don’t drive like I think they should. I don’t intentionally block faster traffic or curse at others who drive unsafely. But here on this platform I can stand up for what is supposed to be. That’s all.
The number of people that think you've run a red light if you have already entered the intersection when it turns red amazes me. Then again I suppose it should not. Especially given how many people just drive around with their high beams on at night and refuse to turn them off.
In New Zealand we have a similar rule allowing us to clear the intersection. Some people know they are allowed to, and others get angry because they are ignorant of the actual road code and think the people that do know it . . . don't know it. Most of our big controlled intersections have turning arrow lights . . . so turning traffic waits for the corresponding green arrow which means all 'straight through' traffic will have red and people turning flow through the intersection. (arggh, arrow lights just slow everything down in my opinion. Making them the standard is for people that don't know not to be drinking the contents of a car battery). Turning arrow lights mostly last 5-10 seconds at Green then go Yellow- Red- then black out, allowing turning traffic to enter the intersection and give way without running a red arrow light. . . and to allow the main 'non-arrow- light to turn Green meaning straight through traffic starts up which has the right of way. For when controlled intersections are not equipped with turn arrow lights . . . as a turning vehicle you have the right to enter the intersection (pass the white line into the intersection, fully or partially it does not matter so long as you don't cross into oncoming lane) whilst waiting for oncoming 'straight through' traffic to clear. Quite a lot of cars can turn when there are gaps from the on coming straight through traffic. If the traffic lights go yellow and someone coming towards you looks like they're going to run a 'late yellow' or red, then by all means just wait until they clear or come to a stop . . . and then continue out of the intersection. The law here states not to enter an intersection unless it is clear/ safe to do so. Example . . . you are waiting on some moron running a red light like at 7.19 in this video. Lights go Green for the cross traffic, and they just floor it and ram into your door. They are at fault for . .. #1 not waiting for intersection to be clear before acting on the green light. . . and #2 being a moron thinking a green light is all they need. Its the drivers that stay behind the line and wait light after light that drive me absolutely Bat Sheet Mental. Christopher Parks - Interesting hearing the rule in Tennessee! Not a very well flowing system! - "You should wait until traffic in front of you clears so that you are not blocking the intersection. If your vehicle is left blocking an intersection (with or without a traffic signal), it prevents other traffic from proceeding and you could be ticketed" Why would you be blocking traffic? . . . blocking what traffic? The stopped traffic that are currently waiting at a red light? Or the 'oncoming' traffic you are waiting to clear coming towards you? The only way you can be blocking traffic as the turner is if you pull into the intersection and then proceed to partially initiate the turn like a complete wombat, blocking the oncoming straight through lane. And you cant be blocking the traffic waiting at red lights because its not their turn to even be moving yet. At a typical intersection by the time they are allowed to move, you will not be there to block them as you would have cleared the intersection while the traffic lights cycled from one direction to the other. The rule shoots itself in the foot over a problem that doesn't even exist, by assuming a car pulling into the intersection blocks traffic or creates a hazard when it simply does not. Pulling into the intersection a car length or two is no more dangerous than driving down a street with nothing but a bit of paint on the road separating two heavy chunks of metal passing each other at speed less than 2m in proximity to one another. None of that directed at anyone Chris, just a bit flabbergasted towards that section of code you copied kindly for us. Ah well either way the guy in the Ram at 7.23 deserves a glove to the face. What an ID10T Ya'll have a good day now and watch out for morons. They drive among us . . .
@@OngoingFreedom This can definitely be different in every state. Hence why I said at the end to check with local law. In Indiana, page 34 of the handbook states that only one vehicle at a time can proceed into a intersection. If you are facing a red light or arrow, your right of way has ended. If you are in the middle of an intersection, you may turn once oncoming traffic has stopped. I do agree that judging by Tennessee’s handbook Cammer did in fact, run a red. Thanks for giving page number for that source.
@@Melanie16040 The number of compete idiots who come screaming through an intersection at high speed argueing "But it only turned red a nanosecond after my front wheel hit the line" amazes me. Do they really think they're so important they're entitled to cause danger and ignore the traffic rules? Especially the one that says "Stop for a yellow, whenever able"?
5:50 Andrew needs to learn that especially in a high power rear wheel drive car, you don't use the cruise control when it's raining heavily ... particularly if you have performance tires on ...
You are so right. The outer tie rod ends on my car were replaced at 28 years. Now, at 33 years, the inner tie rod ends and steering rack are still the factory original. Not bad considering the car has just shy of 400,000 miles on it. Volvo 240 for the win
10:05 I’m not surprised he used the security footage for his claim. His dash cam clearly shows him pull up on the right of a car that clearly has its wheels pointing right.
If a car has its wheels turned right I'm not thinking they are going to turn left. He should have stopped behind the SUV and made sure since her turn signal wasn't on. I say its his fault.
The Morgan & Morgan add was well timing since they started here in Orlando Florida. I had no idea they went nationwide until seeing their adds with you.
@@321brianh that’s funny because I thought they started here in Tampa and I didn’t realize they were nationwide either, and I’ve been to multiple other states. I must have tuned out any of their commercials that were played. I actually I have a picture with John Morgan and a group of friends at MacDinton’s Bar where you can tell he’s blazed out of his mind. He came in with his son a few years ago telling people to vote yes on legalizing marijuana 😂
At 5:58 there's a strike of thunder while the mustang spinning out.. it's easier to see if you lower the playback speed. But it's from 5:58 to 6:00 watch the clouds in the upper left
THANK YOU. The tahoe's wheel was turned right, if Josh wasn't impatient and had paid attention he could've avoided that crash. I have a Tahoe and can confirm I wouldn't have been able to see that mustang either.
He was at a standstill to entering a 2 lane road, with a car who was only in the correct plane to enter the left lane, the Tahoe driver is utterly blind, and somehow you find a way to turn that into "Josh is entirely to blame"?
@@alknowles1 Then maybe you should start installing proper mirrors, doing shoulder checks, and if you can't or won't, swap it for a real car. "People need to stay away from me because I'm blind and can't drive" is simply not a valid attitude. Otherwise what's next? "Keep your children at home, otherwise I can't drive drunk through your neighbourhood without denting my bumper"?
2:35 looks like the control arm broke in two which caused the wheel to scrape in that orientation. As far as what caused it to break, well quite a few things could cause that. Rust might’ve been a factor as well as the bushings being shot. one other thing that might have happened is maybe the ball joint failed. that can also cause the wheel to go crooked in the way it did. I wouldn’t know for sure what failed and the cause of that failure unless I inspected it myself
Looks like I'm not the only Zachary that watches your videos! And if I catch something on dashcam, I know the first thing I'm going to do is send it to you! I love watching all of your channels, even the new Securitycam one and I would love to submit something to this channel. Let's just hope my first submission won't be anything too bad.
10:01 Cammer should not have moved up on the right side of the Tahoe, like come on, situational awareness is screaming that the SUV is prepping to turn right. Why was cammer even moving up there anyway, last I checked a Mustang isn't tall enough to look OVER a Tahoe and cars are rarely transparent... I'm legit saddened every time cammers do stupid or reckless things and just get away with it because of 'reasons'. No Tahoe driver probably didn't see you cause they were busy looking left to find an opening in traffic.
2:44 looks like the left tie rod, the connecting link that connects the wheel to the steering rack, and adjusts the angle so you can turn, broke. That's why the wheel ended up sideways, as there was nothing stopping the wheel from freely rotating around the steering bearings.
I feel Shelby's pain. I was in six accidents in ten years. I felt like I needed a sign on the top of my car "WHO WANTS TO HIT ME NOW"🤬🤬🤬 I'm so tired of getting rear ended at stop signs and red lights. One was a drunk driver.
2:48 so what happened is one of the axels got loose which can happen if you have done too much off-reading or driving fast down a bumpy path, so it’s an easy tighten but if you don’t do it that could happen. I hope I helped. ❤
In the bus drivers defense…… He had his wheel turned to the left the whole time he was in the snow, but he was only sliding straight ahead. The bus didn't start to turn left until it got solid traction on the asphalt. He actually did a good job stopping quickly before he hit the car.
2:40 I am in the car expert. I am 15 years old. What happened was that the car that ended up with the tire sideways has 25 recalls, including one regarding suspension and the axle for the front of the car which means that there was a lot of problems with the wheels and there was potential problems with the wheel detaching. I actually know someone who had this exact same problem and by experience I know that this is a big issue for this car. So in short summary, suspension issues.
I am also a car expert at 14. All of this is true which basically made the connection rods and axle snap which made the FL tire and wheel instantly break off
2:15 could have been ball joint or control arm. I had my control arm break while driving recently! thankfully it cambered negatively so could drive to a safe spot!
14. That's not a Honda Bump. That's a Honda Bash. Maybe there needs to be a distinction between the two as a Honda Bump would be one where the damage is minimal to non-existent (like a door ding that leaves no visible damage or paint scuffs that can be wiped off or buffed out) - while a Honda Bash.... well, I think you can figure that one out. 😉
2:35 make sure to inspect your cv-boots monthly when you pump your tires to prevent your cv-joint unschedule disassembly. check for splattered grease inside the wheel wells, when cv-boots cracked grease inside cv boots will fling all over your wheel wells, once that happen the cv joints starting to grind each other like arthritis and it's only matter of time this will happen.
A good tip is to yell out the lic plate if you're able to if you can't because of injury then there's not much you can do, it'll help clear up blurry videos.
I’ve never ever ever seen Seymour Tennessee in these before!! I think it’s cool I live like 5 minutes away from there and used to work at that McDonald’s!
1:24. Now that's a Trucker! Hit that breakdown lane so 4 wheeler can dance on the black top. Good thing Jade wasn't loaded... 80,000 lbs doesn't stop on a dime, nor a 50ft, 100ft, 200ft you get the picture. Need at least 200 yards. 2:40 tie rod or ball joints.
The number of people that record or witness an accident and don't stop to at least check (actually talk to people, not just drive by) is repulsive. We should all look out for and help each other.
Professional driver tip here. When swerving to miss a car that pulls out in front of you. Swerve behind the vehicle and brake. The car that pulls out will always do 1 of 2 things, stop or keep going. You Swerve behind, you are more likely to miss
16 is most likely an outer tie rod end. Had the same thing happen to me when pulling out of a parking spot. No indication of anything wrong. Turned the wheels after backing out and the threads just stripped out completely. Lucky for me I was at a stop and I heard a clunk when it happened. I would say Josh in the white mustang was at fault. Clearly the Tahoe was turning right. the wheels are already pointed in that direction. The Tahoe driver wouldn't have expected a vehicle to be there when turning. And by law unless it is marked with a turn lane then it is assumed that there is only one land and you need to line up single file.
More than likely, the Honda that had the wheel collapse probably suffered from a broken tie rod of some sort. It is also possible that the axel had worn away and the wheel ended up coming off.
I worked in a body shop for years. #16 was most likely tie rod related. The tie rod is what keeps the wheel aligned and it's designed to break in the event of a crash. But from time to time they rust up and break.
Dude in the next to last video should have never pulled up where he did. He should have known which way the SUV was going, since the tires were already turned in that direction.
@wham bam dash cam the car that had its tire completely sideways was a result from a snapped tie rod, a tie rod helps keep the tires in the direction of the steering wheel
Josh in the Mustang I feel was more at fault, yes the Tahoe was far left, but they had their blinker on and there’s a no left turn sign in the middle of the exit, so in my opinion Josh should’ve been at fault
11:05 This happened to me in a Walgreens parking lot, I ended up having to back up because the elderly person wouldn’t stop backing up after I laid on the horn
State Inspector here, #16 looks like the lower ball joint separated or lower control arm (which holds the ball joint) broke. Vehicle looks like a mid 2000's Honda Accord
2:35 I think something like that happened in Puerto Rico when we were passing by the power plant, there was a car stopped in the middle of the road with the wheel on the right side bent about 180 degrees to the right, but we don't know what exactly happened
In number 13 I think that nissan driver ended up pooing himself after that incident. The car is fine but, his pants on the other hand... Not so good. LOL 😂😂
A loaded truck stops faster than empty truck. I am a truck driver lol. No the Honda guy was probably driving. Crazy didn’t keep his distance wasn’t paying attention. That’s why he got out of control.
I used to be a mechanic in my 20s, and although that was many years ago, I’m guessing that the car that had its tire twist sideways, had something fail in the rack and pinion system. Not good! I actually had my whole rear axle suspension fail on a beater car that I had gotten for really cheap, at a time in my life when I couldn’t afford anything better or any repairs. The whole thing fell off as I was backing out of a parking spot after an interview or something. I’m so grateful that this didn’t happen while I was driving there or back! It was an old Plymouth Reliant; I called it my UNreliant 😂
2:44, definitely the lower ball joint popped off, same thing happened to me but luckily was at my driveway. Idk how long I was driving without that ball joint but either someone tried to screw me over or sum else, but Im glad didnt happen on the road.
Here in California red lights and stop signs are now considered optional (sarcasm). Tip for those out of staters, when the light goes green never hit the gas and go. Always, always look first.
2:42 - THAT looks like a ball joint failure if i ever did see one. DO NOT ignore upper and lower control arm repairs/replacements. That could have gone a lot worse
Also, when it's winter out for those of you who don't know you need to steer into the skid rather than trying to steer away from it. And let your foot off the f****** gas pedal. And gently tap your brakes don't just slam your brakes cuz you're going to make it a lot worse. I've had four different times my car is caught a patch of black ice going around a corner or I just didn't see it and my mom taught me this information. Saved my life four different times.

Think of it like your shoulder dislocating, the ball joints were designed after the ball joints in your shoulder.
vehicular testicular torsion
As a ASE certified mechanic I agree
No
Tie rod ends
It was a Honda, so I'd say an upper is more likely.
2:42 as a certified car guy and putting in tons of research into it, I can confirm the wheel fell off.
How long did it take to research that !?!?!!!! 😱😱
at 80mph, the wheel would’ve flown off without a care in the world
Is that certificate signed by Click and Clack 🤣
Top comment 😂😂😂😂
the u-bolt broke thats what caused the wheel to fall of im a mechanic so i deal with it alot
The fact that a 4 month old survived that crash is incredible.
As for Shelby, I wonder if her insurance went up even tho she was clearly not at fault in either collision.
Children are made of rubber, basically. They survive things where adults would break more bones than they have.
These days it should not be any different outcome for a infant if a proper restraint device is fitted and used correctly.
I'm sure it did for Shelby.. My old best friend got rear-ended on the highway because of traffic, she got a new car and 2 months later she got tboned by an old man who was pulling out of a stop sign while she was on a straight away with no lights/signs..

Totally the mustangs fault. Just being impatient
Car guy here. In story 16 (?) I think one of the ball joints came apart, causing the wheel to fall off
Thank you!
Ball joint or tie rod snapped
Apparently, this is a common thing on these Hondas. my dad had a 99 accord, and the same thing happened. He never told me what it was tho.
I bet this is the end result of "The customer declined all repairs.".
@@XaviDaKringeKid I have a 2005 accord and ball joints are a regular issue

Great driving by Zachary!
Didn't speed off at the green light without checking it was clear first, this is exactly how we should all drive. A green light doesn't mean the intersection is clear, always keep that in mind!
That last video reminds me of a similar incident that happened to me but we were both backing out.. I was entirely backed out and starting to go to drive and in my rear camera I saw this guy just starting to back out into me and I laid on the horn.. he stopped… and then started to continue backing up to my surprise. Luckily I was in my Dad’s pickup truck so there was no damage but I couldn’t believe how oblivious someone could be and he was not old either! Sometimes it’s so blatant and weird I wonder if it’s intentional.

#16. - my guess is the tie rod broke. The tie rod is what controls the turning of the wheel, and the moment that breaks loose, the wheel can go in any direction it feels like.
Broken ball joint. If it was tie rod then the wheel would've "caved in" on the other axis. I've had _plenty_ of GM cars have this happen, often on the same car because General Monkey seemed to have really cheaped out on the 'steel' holding their cars together dating back to the early 80s. Think nothing of it ~ my mind always defaults to broken rods when I see a wheel snap into some weird position it's not supposed to be in so you and I thought the same.
9:00 I would assume it was probably a ball joint. My car recently got hit by a lady who’s ball joint went out and her front right tire with the brake assembly and knuckle got thrown away from the car attached only by the brake hose
Agreed
Josh should have looked at the suv's front wheels and he would have known they were going to turn right.
I use that car wash all the time and everyone knows its a no left turn exit. Alas I see idiots do what Josh did nearly every time I go.
Also the lady's "excuse" is valid. If you look at the security footage, the mustang would have been in the blind spot, especially considering the side mirrors would be pointing slightly above what they would usually point because the car was leaning forward.
Right as soon as I saw the tires and where he pulled up I figured he'd be in the wrong.
When he's first pulling up you can see the sign that says "no left turn".. The road is several lanes wide so a left turn would be tough anyways. Also, her wheels and position of her vehicle are indicating she's going to the right, even if she may be a bit to the left side of the driveway, it's obvious to a non- idiot that it's a one way if you look at the shape of it. Mustang has it all wrong..
@@officerahmo
Cars don't have a blind spot. They do however have some sloppy drivers who refuse to do shoulder checks and just turn blindly.
9:13
Haha, what a coincidence!
My name is also Zachary, but I am not the submitter of this clip. I live 5 minutes from there! I was watching this with my mother, and we both thought the coincidence was funny. That intersection is Constitution Ave & Marksheffel Rd. We both also agree that red light runners are EXTREMELY COMMON. Hello Zachary!
Why doesn't the police cruiser just sit there and catch these red light runners then? Or install red light camera!
I always love your intros. They are so fun
Kyle glad you're ok & sorry that happen but upgrade to a dashcam that has 1080p or 4k. Also glad you're feeling better ben
4k dash cams are mostly pointless. Most of them just upscale and Use more storage for footage. Get one with a decent 1080p sensor and you'll be fine
@@THEFIRE360 Ah didn't think about that
most dashcams are kind of crap at getting license plates in focus, best to read them out loud/write it down immediately
Yeah I was thinking that he should have followed to yell out the LP since you cannot see it on camera. My dash cam isn't the greatest either which is why I got a new one but I have yet to install it lmao which I will be doing soon.
*Just for anyone confused on #8 **7:12** about the cammer running the red*
(Edit: He did… in Tennessee)
(Edit: In Indiana)
If you proceed past a white line into the intersection while the light is green, it’s not considered running a red. You sometimes have to, as they say “take control of the intersection” or else traffic in the turn lane will never clear.
This is considering many intersections don’t have a protected left turn and during busy traffic hours you’d never have an opportunity. Obviously that second part doesn’t pertain to this clip considering they do have a protected turn for a certain time, then an unprotected left turn. My only credentials is being a truck driver but I’d always recommend looking up your states local laws, sometimes it could be different.
This is a popular belief. Here’s another: “If I go the speed limit traffic will just run over me and that’s dangerous.”
No, you don’t have to “take control of the intersection”. Wait your turn. It may take a minute. It may take several. Hopefully someone will be courteous and yield to you so you can make the turn sooner.
“If you proceed past a white line into an intersection while the light is green, it’s not considered running a red.” Well not yet it isn’t, but if you pass through the intersection at any point and the light is red, congratulations, you ran a red light, JUST LIKE THIS CAMMER DID at 7:19. Not only did you run it but you created a hazard doing so (the reason why it isn’t allowed). On page 54 of the TN driver license manual it states the following, “Do not enter an intersection unless you can get through it without having to stop. You should wait until traffic in front of you clears so that you are not blocking the intersection. If your vehicle is left blocking an intersection (with or without a traffic signal), it prevents other traffic from proceeding and you could be ticketed.” That’s my state. Perhaps you can provide your state’s information that proves what you say is true?
Driving in traffic is weird. There’s the law, then there’s these common (mis)understandings about how things really ‘work’. I’m the former and you appear to be the latter. You’re in good company, as most seem to fall into your camp.
Look, I’m not a traffic cop, I’m just a lawful and careful driver. I don’t get mad at the traffic around me when they don’t drive like I think they should. I don’t intentionally block faster traffic or curse at others who drive unsafely. But here on this platform I can stand up for what is supposed to be. That’s all.
The number of people that think you've run a red light if you have already entered the intersection when it turns red amazes me. Then again I suppose it should not. Especially given how many people just drive around with their high beams on at night and refuse to turn them off.
In New Zealand we have a similar rule allowing us to clear the intersection. Some people know they are allowed to, and others get angry because they are ignorant of the actual road code and think the people that do know it . . . don't know it.
Most of our big controlled intersections have turning arrow lights . . . so turning traffic waits for the corresponding green arrow which means all 'straight through' traffic will have red and people turning flow through the intersection. (arggh, arrow lights just slow everything down in my opinion. Making them the standard is for people that don't know not to be drinking the contents of a car battery).
Turning arrow lights mostly last 5-10 seconds at Green then go Yellow- Red- then black out, allowing turning traffic to enter the intersection and give way without running a red arrow light. . . and to allow the main 'non-arrow- light to turn Green meaning straight through traffic starts up which has the right of way.
For when controlled intersections are not equipped with turn arrow lights . . . as a turning vehicle you have the right to enter the intersection (pass the white line into the intersection, fully or partially it does not matter so long as you don't cross into oncoming lane) whilst waiting for oncoming 'straight through' traffic to clear. Quite a lot of cars can turn when there are gaps from the on coming straight through traffic.
If the traffic lights go yellow and someone coming towards you looks like they're going to run a 'late yellow' or red, then by all means just wait until they clear or come to a stop . . . and then continue out of the intersection.
The law here states not to enter an intersection unless it is clear/ safe to do so. Example . . . you are waiting on some moron running a red light like at 7.19 in this video. Lights go Green for the cross traffic, and they just floor it and ram into your door. They are at fault for . .. #1 not waiting for intersection to be clear before acting on the green light. . . and #2 being a moron thinking a green light is all they need.
Its the drivers that stay behind the line and wait light after light that drive me absolutely Bat Sheet Mental.
Christopher Parks - Interesting hearing the rule in Tennessee! Not a very well flowing system! - "You should wait until traffic in front of you clears so that you are not blocking the intersection. If your vehicle is left blocking an intersection (with or without a traffic signal), it prevents other traffic from proceeding and you could be ticketed"
Why would you be blocking traffic? . . . blocking what traffic? The stopped traffic that are currently waiting at a red light? Or the 'oncoming' traffic you are waiting to clear coming towards you?
The only way you can be blocking traffic as the turner is if you pull into the intersection and then proceed to partially initiate the turn like a complete wombat, blocking the oncoming straight through lane.
And you cant be blocking the traffic waiting at red lights because its not their turn to even be moving yet. At a typical intersection by the time they are allowed to move, you will not be there to block them as you would have cleared the intersection while the traffic lights cycled from one direction to the other.
The rule shoots itself in the foot over a problem that doesn't even exist, by assuming a car pulling into the intersection blocks traffic or creates a hazard when it simply does not.
Pulling into the intersection a car length or two is no more dangerous than driving down a street with nothing but a bit of paint on the road separating two heavy chunks of metal passing each other at speed less than 2m in proximity to one another.
None of that directed at anyone Chris, just a bit flabbergasted towards that section of code you copied kindly for us.
Ah well either way the guy in the Ram at 7.23 deserves a glove to the face. What an ID10T
Ya'll have a good day now and watch out for morons. They drive among us . . .
@@OngoingFreedom This can definitely be different in every state. Hence why I said at the end to check with local law. In Indiana, page 34 of the handbook states that only one vehicle at a time can proceed into a intersection. If you are facing a red light or arrow, your right of way has ended. If you are in the middle of an intersection, you may turn once oncoming traffic has stopped.
I do agree that judging by Tennessee’s handbook Cammer did in fact, run a red. Thanks for giving page number for that source.
@@Melanie16040
The number of compete idiots who come screaming through an intersection at high speed argueing "But it only turned red a nanosecond after my front wheel hit the line" amazes me. Do they really think they're so important they're entitled to cause danger and ignore the traffic rules? Especially the one that says "Stop for a yellow, whenever able"?
5:50 Andrew needs to learn that especially in a high power rear wheel drive car, you don't use the cruise control when it's raining heavily ... particularly if you have performance tires on ...
#16 Looked like his tie-rod snapped, allowing the front left wheel to turn sideways. This is highly unusual in a car that appears to be that young.
You are so right. The outer tie rod ends on my car were replaced at 28 years. Now, at 33 years, the inner tie rod ends and steering rack are still the factory original. Not bad considering the car has just shy of 400,000 miles on it. Volvo 240 for the win
10:05 I’m not surprised he used the security footage for his claim. His dash cam clearly shows him pull up on the right of a car that clearly has its wheels pointing right.
That doesn't mean they're turning right...
If a car has its wheels turned right I'm not thinking they are going to turn left. He should have stopped behind the SUV and made sure since her turn signal wasn't on. I say its his fault.
@@THEFIRE360 cereal box license?
05:56 if you look closely, you can see a small crowd forming on the side of the road. The mustang couldn't help itself.
3:57 is anyone gonna talk about the license plate?
The Morgan & Morgan add was well timing since they started here in Orlando Florida. I had no idea they went nationwide until seeing their adds with you.
@@angaanga267 no, unfortunately. My parents are at an age that makes it difficult to leave right now.
@@321brianh that’s funny because I thought they started here in Tampa and I didn’t realize they were nationwide either, and I’ve been to multiple other states. I must have tuned out any of their commercials that were played. I actually I have a picture with John Morgan and a group of friends at MacDinton’s Bar where you can tell he’s blazed out of his mind. He came in with his son a few years ago telling people to vote yes on legalizing marijuana 😂
That car with the wheel was probably a customer that declined all repairs.😅
At 5:58 there's a strike of thunder while the mustang spinning out.. it's easier to see if you lower the playback speed. But it's from 5:58 to 6:00 watch the clouds in the upper left
Josh was completely at fault and didn't deserve a dime.
THANK YOU. The tahoe's wheel was turned right, if Josh wasn't impatient and had paid attention he could've avoided that crash. I have a Tahoe and can confirm I wouldn't have been able to see that mustang either.
Exactly ‼️‼️‼️
He was at a standstill to entering a 2 lane road, with a car who was only in the correct plane to enter the left lane, the Tahoe driver is utterly blind, and somehow you find a way to turn that into "Josh is entirely to blame"?
@@alknowles1
Then maybe you should start installing proper mirrors, doing shoulder checks, and if you can't or won't, swap it for a real car.
"People need to stay away from me because I'm blind and can't drive" is simply not a valid attitude.
Otherwise what's next? "Keep your children at home, otherwise I can't drive drunk through your neighbourhood without denting my bumper"?
Welcome back Narrator! Hope you are feeling better.
One of the best episodes yet ! Can’t wait for more !
Amen I love the intro
2:35 looks like the control arm broke in two which caused the wheel to scrape in that orientation. As far as what caused it to break, well quite a few things could cause that. Rust might’ve been a factor as well as the bushings being shot. one other thing that might have happened is maybe the ball joint failed. that can also cause the wheel to go crooked in the way it did. I wouldn’t know for sure what failed and the cause of that failure unless I inspected it myself
Looks like I'm not the only Zachary that watches your videos!
And if I catch something on dashcam, I know the first thing I'm going to do is send it to you!
I love watching all of your channels, even the new Securitycam one and I would love to submit something to this channel.
Let's just hope my first submission won't be anything too bad.
10:01
Cammer should not have moved up on the right side of the Tahoe, like come on, situational awareness is screaming that the SUV is prepping to turn right. Why was cammer even moving up there anyway, last I checked a Mustang isn't tall enough to look OVER a Tahoe and cars are rarely transparent...
I'm legit saddened every time cammers do stupid or reckless things and just get away with it because of 'reasons'. No Tahoe driver probably didn't see you cause they were busy looking left to find an opening in traffic.
2:44 looks like the left tie rod, the connecting link that connects the wheel to the steering rack, and adjusts the angle so you can turn, broke. That's why the wheel ended up sideways, as there was nothing stopping the wheel from freely rotating around the steering bearings.
You should make wham Baam Trucker Cam!
2:30 the Axle simply just snapped.
4:10 Luckily we don't have doctor bills. love that.
I feel Shelby's pain. I was in six accidents in ten years. I felt like I needed a sign on the top of my car "WHO WANTS TO HIT ME NOW"🤬🤬🤬 I'm so tired of getting rear ended at stop signs and red lights. One was a drunk driver.
2:48 so what happened is one of the axels got loose which can happen if you have done too much off-reading or driving fast down a bumpy path, so it’s an easy tighten but if you don’t do it that could happen. I hope I helped. ❤
Honda Bump, Honda Bump, Kia....... is that the new "duck, duck, goose?" LOL
In the bus drivers defense…… He had his wheel turned to the left the whole time he was in the snow, but he was only sliding straight ahead. The bus didn't start to turn left until it got solid traction on the asphalt. He actually did a good job stopping quickly before he hit the car.
2:40 I am in the car expert. I am 15 years old. What happened was that the car that ended up with the tire sideways has 25 recalls, including one regarding suspension and the axle for the front of the car which means that there was a lot of problems with the wheels and there was potential problems with the wheel detaching. I actually know someone who had this exact same problem and by experience I know that this is a big issue for this car. So in short summary, suspension issues.
I am also a car expert at 14. All of this is true which basically made the connection rods and axle snap which made the FL tire and wheel instantly break off
@@JLS_Gaming finally someone is my age and knows just about as much about cars as me
Pov you have waited all day for this
2:15 could have been ball joint or control arm.
I had my control arm break while driving recently! thankfully it cambered negatively so could drive to a safe spot!
14. That's not a Honda Bump. That's a Honda Bash. Maybe there needs to be a distinction between the two as a Honda Bump would be one where the damage is minimal to non-existent (like a door ding that leaves no visible damage or paint scuffs that can be wiped off or buffed out) - while a Honda Bash.... well, I think you can figure that one out. 😉
My name is Bentley I love the channels and I watch every single new episodes.
2:35 make sure to inspect your cv-boots monthly when you pump your tires to prevent your cv-joint unschedule disassembly. check for splattered grease inside the wheel wells, when cv-boots cracked grease inside cv boots will fling all over your wheel wells, once that happen the cv joints starting to grind each other like arthritis and it's only matter of time this will happen.
1:00 perfect PERFECT example of why modern cars have ESC
A good tip is to yell out the lic plate if you're able to if you can't because of injury then there's not much you can do, it'll help clear up blurry videos.
That deltona clip reminded me of home, that stretch is usually filled with speeders
They still speed in that stretch 😭
Love the guns and roses intro!
0:25 That rollover is so scary and even in a jeep that has bad safety ratings
7:40 thats an old 4runner
Josh should pay for the damages to both vehicles!
I’ve never ever ever seen Seymour Tennessee in these before!! I think it’s cool I live like 5 minutes away from there and used to work at that McDonald’s!
No one's talking about how sweet that intro was
2:47 Ball joint failure
Yes that or maybe a tiy rod
I watch this every night and I-get to watch until 2 am today
His tie rod busted. I have had that happen and it is scary
i love the song at the beginning 😂
Love the new intro!
1:24. Now that's a Trucker! Hit that breakdown lane so 4 wheeler can dance on the black top. Good thing Jade wasn't loaded... 80,000 lbs doesn't stop on a dime, nor a 50ft, 100ft, 200ft you get the picture. Need at least 200 yards. 2:40 tie rod or ball joints.
The number of people that record or witness an accident and don't stop to at least check (actually talk to people, not just drive by) is repulsive. We should all look out for and help each other.
bro people got shit to do. people get paid to do that also.
Professional driver tip here. When swerving to miss a car that pulls out in front of you. Swerve behind the vehicle and brake. The car that pulls out will always do 1 of 2 things, stop or keep going. You Swerve behind, you are more likely to miss
16 is most likely an outer tie rod end. Had the same thing happen to me when pulling out of a parking spot. No indication of anything wrong. Turned the wheels after backing out and the threads just stripped out completely. Lucky for me I was at a stop and I heard a clunk when it happened. I would say Josh in the white mustang was at fault. Clearly the Tahoe was turning right. the wheels are already pointed in that direction. The Tahoe driver wouldn't have expected a vehicle to be there when turning. And by law unless it is marked with a turn lane then it is assumed that there is only one land and you need to line up single file.
10:31 this are 10k in damage ? and I thought Tesla's are expensive to repair lol
I was looking for this comment, no way is a bumper skin and paint 10k
Poor Shelby, I feel bad for her.
I remember that icy day in Seymour. I stayed home that day. There were cars left along the road because it was too treacherous to drive.
More than likely, the Honda that had the wheel collapse probably suffered from a broken tie rod of some sort. It is also possible that the axel had worn away and the wheel ended up coming off.
Yeah, probably a lose or broken tie rod. That happened to me. Luckily I was going about 25mph, so no real damage.
That’s funny because #6 was where I live and it’s weird yet funny seeing your area on a famous platform like this lolll
I worked in a body shop for years. #16 was most likely tie rod related. The tie rod is what keeps the wheel aligned and it's designed to break in the event of a crash. But from time to time they rust up and break.
Tie rod or Ball Joint. I lean towards ball joint myself. I've seen more ball joints go bad in cars than tie rod ends.
Dude in the next to last video should have never pulled up where he did. He should have known which way the SUV was going, since the tires were already turned in that direction.
I know right😮😮😮
@wham bam dash cam the car that had its tire completely sideways was a result from a snapped tie rod, a tie rod helps keep the tires in the direction of the steering wheel
Josh in the Mustang I feel was more at fault, yes the Tahoe was far left, but they had their blinker on and there’s a no left turn sign in the middle of the exit, so in my opinion Josh should’ve been at fault
That white mustangs gotta get that fitment in check
8:10 unpopular opinion: if they came up and into my lane, I would pretend I didn't see and it would be their fault (most likely)
11:05 This happened to me in a Walgreens parking lot, I ended up having to back up because the elderly person wouldn’t stop backing up after I laid on the horn
State Inspector here, #16 looks like the lower ball joint separated or lower control arm (which holds the ball joint) broke. Vehicle looks like a mid 2000's Honda Accord
6:41 I think that Model S was on Autopilot as I don’t think Teslas can see red lights and stop like if there are cars stopped in front of the Tesla
Not the road I take every day to work showing up 😭 So many crazy drivers at night there 4:53
We need a wham bam cop cam
2:35 I think something like that happened in Puerto Rico when we were passing by the power plant, there was a car stopped in the middle of the road with the wheel on the right side bent about 180 degrees to the right, but we don't know what exactly happened
In number 13 I think that nissan driver ended up pooing himself after that incident. The car is fine but, his pants on the other hand... Not so good. LOL 😂😂
One of the control arms / ball joints came undone. I'll bet it just came out of a shop...
6:22 the Tesla jingle
Feel better soon!
These dashcams are really high def now!
3:10 they drive an Altima, only thing they are scared of are BMW drivers
Andrew - Been there, done that with my Mustang. You must be running drag radials or racing tires.
A loaded truck stops faster than empty truck. I am a truck driver lol. No the Honda guy was probably driving. Crazy didn’t keep his distance wasn’t paying attention. That’s why he got out of control.
I used to be a mechanic in my 20s, and although that was many years ago, I’m guessing that the car that had its tire twist sideways, had something fail in the rack and pinion system. Not good!
I actually had my whole rear axle suspension fail on a beater car that I had gotten for really cheap, at a time in my life when I couldn’t afford anything better or any repairs.
The whole thing fell off as I was backing out of a parking spot after an interview or something. I’m so grateful that this didn’t happen while I was driving there or back!
It was an old Plymouth Reliant; I called it my UNreliant 😂
2:44, definitely the lower ball joint popped off, same thing happened to me but luckily was at my driveway. Idk how long I was driving without that ball joint but either someone tried to screw me over or sum else, but Im glad didnt happen on the road.
Here in California red lights and stop signs are now considered optional (sarcasm). Tip for those out of staters, when the light goes green never hit the gas and go. Always, always look first.
Thats perfect timing for the police
Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 instant justice
5:50 Makes absolutely no sense.
There was no crow near that Mustang! 🤣
2:42 - THAT looks like a ball joint failure if i ever did see one. DO NOT ignore upper and lower control arm repairs/replacements. That could have gone a lot worse
Why is it that they are Still at Large and not Still at Small or Medium?
Also, when it's winter out for those of you who don't know you need to steer into the skid rather than trying to steer away from it. And let your foot off the f****** gas pedal. And gently tap your brakes don't just slam your brakes cuz you're going to make it a lot worse. I've had four different times my car is caught a patch of black ice going around a corner or I just didn't see it and my mom taught me this information. Saved my life four different times.
I believe that your question at 2:40-2:46 is awsered by the front left tire rod breaking and causing it to go sidewise.
