When I'm going down a main road and the car in front of me turns left into a side street and there's a car waiting in the side street, I always approach with the expectation that they won't wait for me because it happens so often. Also, that tent should've used its indicator. EDIT: The caravan one gets worse every time you look at it.
If you’re talking about the last video, I can give a little more context (from what I observed as the driver). The reason they got out in the first place was to check the back of the car, that’s why the lady passenger got out first and was only looking at the car. From where I was sitting, it looked like they were going to go left out of the driveway but when the car started turning, the back of the car near the break lights started touching the caravan. I feel like if they wanted to go any other way, the caravan would still come unhitched but it could have been worse.
Always good to prepare for if other drivers do something stupid, yeah. Long as I don't screw up at the same time they screw up, we should all come out ok. The more I look at the caravan one, the more I feel for the driver. Halfway onto a major road, down a sloping driveway and across a steep gutter, and his caravan's come unhitched. Dude just didn't have any good options at that point. (though of course this is why we should all be very bloody careful double- and triple-checking our hitches before we start moving)
@@lizziebkennedy7505 Didn't put the caravan properly on the towball, so the only things connecting the car and caravan are the chain and the power cable.
Well, hanging back also gives us all a nice clear view of what their next stupid move is too... So maybe they were just being careful a cinematographer not a caring driver 😂
You would be surprised how many people just don't see bikes. Here, the usual response by Police to "Sorry Mate I Didn't See You" (SMIDSY) is "Oh, so admit you weren't paying attention" and a charge of dangerous driving. Didn't help my broken collar bone, but the "karma" felt good,
4:48 Matt does an instinctive brake check when he hears the horn, then when he realises it's a car alongside, runs the car off the road, all while driving a giant billboard with his name and phone number, real bright; his slogan must be 'I cut your lawn and I cut you off on the road'..
He’s probably gunna pull the old “but my vehicle was at the signwriters” trick like ol dopey a couple of weeks back when caught out with business details all over the offending vehicle.
18:35 Too much adrenalin for the cop still shouting "Get out of the car!" while he's chasing the upstanding citizen down the street! He's complying officer! Ha! Ha! 😄
17:55 man stops to frantically try and catch a Tent in the wild. Tents are rarely seen in urban areas any more. Tent sees the man and desperately tries to run for it but trips on the kerb. RIP tent.
@@TattooedAussieChick To be fair, Americans only have the curb spelling, and both the internet and TV are horribly polluted by American media, so it's easy to get confused.
21:00, Overtakes across a double unbroken line and almost gets cleaned up by an oncoming car, then at 21:12 just blows through the STOP LINE, there is no STOP Sign BUT the solid line across the road means the same thing.
Some things can't be predicted on the road, but we can save ourselves making sure to look everywhere...even if we have the right of way ❤️ Love to all the caring, defensive drivers out there.
Bonus: Aussie road rules never actually say anyone has right of way, it's always about who has to give way. 100% agree, defensive driving is the only smart option.
@@Cheepchipsable fair enough, that's probably more up-to-date than my info. And of course the same principle applies: top priority is to avoid an accident if you reasonably can, no matter how wrong the other driver is.
I doubt the rage is psychopathic. Usually such anger is caused by anxiety or other torments churning underneath, and which make coping with stress difficult (pyscho-/sociopaths are much colder people). As someone said elsewhere, old mate needs to confront his demons. Until he does his family will have to walk on eggshells to avoid stressing him.
A shop I used to buy bike tyres from had a spot in the carpark for you to kill the old rear before getting new rubber. The owner felt it was better than customers doing it on the street. He'd even video it if you asked him.
That tent was a great laugh.. specially as the damned thing 'ran away' just after the handbrake was applied.. almost like it knew someone was about to get out of their car and move it.
It got worse after it went off my cam view. The street he went onto must of had a slight slop because the caravan picked up a bit of speed and went straight into the back of the car 😬
Whenever you hear a guy that gets that angry that quick there is a 50/50 change there will be the voice of a woman trying to placate him and calm him down as a habitual response. Like in this video.
Most anger is not psychotic, it’s only a thin veneer for what is brewing below. This man needs to face his demons, it’s the only thing that will set him free.
@@doctorbohr1585 Like the scene where Ricky (Desi Arnez: Lucys husband) is backing the caravan into the relatives' house, and takes out the rose bush, and the carport.
@@railtrolley that sounds like Jeff and Marge! But the only scene I remember from the Long Long Trailer is Desi and Lucy going up a big hill on a narrow road. It scared me as a kid
@@doctorbohr1585 Yes! That was about the funniest scene. They were trying to talk calmly about a book Lucy was reading the previous night. A different car is used for the scene. The film Mercury still has the older flatty V8, so a Lincoln convertible with a newer OHV V8 was used.
17:56 what a tough guy standing in the road blocking traffic, but as soon as the DC went to get out and take him down, he scarpers and then faceplants. Pure gold!
Had a guy nearly head-on me in my lane yesterday, coming around a blind corner in suburban Melbourne. He called out "sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry!", I waved and nodded in acknowledgement, and we both moved on. The legends are true, it is possible. :P (bonus: I was under massive stress for other reasons at the time, including another driver nearly hitting me head-on in my lane at highway speeds a few minutes earlier - ordinarily I would have also called out something like "no worries mate" to reassure this dude)
12:05 - I don't think I've ever been that angry at anything in my entire life... let alone a simple mistake that could have been avoided with a touch of hazard perception.
23:40 years of quality driving experience on show. more proof for testing, especially for those whom had their license handed to them without testing....
Anyone, of any age needs to have a separate "endorsement" for towing. Tested, not just given. There are just as many 20-30-40yo idiots with caravans.. and more if you add tradie trailers (@4:50), boat trailers (12:36) That guy isn't old enough to have been just handed a license, probably the same age as me, (60's) and talking to people getting their licenses now.. My test was a lot harder. Lots of people complain about the older generation and driving, but just look at the percentage that appear in these videos. The vast majority are P plater's through to around 40+. If you want us off the road, fair enough, but then you pay the taxes/rates for decent alternatives like reasonable public transport. Don't forget 60+ paid for and made all the wonderful infrastructure we all use. If the Government has their way, we'll all be working till 75. Imagine having to work, actually using machinery and pay for infrastructure but because you're over an arbitrary age you're not allowed to use it just because some younger generations think a few aren't competent. Not many "senior" hoons on the road, as a percentage a lot less are road users than other ages anyway. Focus on the real problem on the roads, poor training for everyone, speeding, arrogance, DUI. Tasmania used to have a mandatory retest each year if you're over 85, they dropped it as there was no demonstrable proof that age group caused any more crashes than any other age group. Having said that, I have no idea why this muppet didn't apply the mandatory trailer park/hand brake then move his ute out of the way. And not one car or the cammer could be bothered to help. This clip has nothing to do with age, stupidity cares not a bit for how many laps around the sun you've completed.
@@gandalf501 Ironically this one time if they had forgotten the chains, they probably would have had less damage and an easier way to clear it all up out of the traffic.
Cam car is partly responsible, but both parties should be wary of ALL right turns through a multi-lane road with stopped traffic. If you ever leave a courtesy gap on a multi-lane road, it's YOUR responsibility to monitor the left lane and be ready to blast your horn.
Could you quote the law that says that? Pretty please with sugar on top? I have done just that for traffic... watched for fast movers coming from behind me in the left "lane"...and warned drivers turning across my bow into a supermarket entrance... but as a courtesy only. I did this almost every afternoon during my commute home at a particularly badly designed intersection and without having a crash happen.... but if it did... not my responsibility. As always the driver making the maneouvre is responsible.... I was stationary officer... @@sjwright2
The dashcam driver did nothing wrong. At 15:00 the lane ahead begins to clear. At 15:01 the lane ahead is clear. At 15:02 the oncoming red car is already turning.
Can you explain how the dash cam driver caused the other driver to fail to give way? also not just courtesy but required by law not to block an intersection.
1st video. Well done on multiple catches. Car cuts DC off, and does a burnout. But also, on the left, was a red arrow the 4WD towing trailer went through it…
4:47 Some people must get so used to the sound of horns directed at them , it just becomes background noise ! Just kept on driving into danger as if the horn meant nothing....
We were just talking today about people, ignoring car horns. Thought maybe a horn that sounds like tyres squealing with a massive bang at the end might get their attention.
Came to the comments to see who else was confused by the chick stopping and then getting reamed - sounding surprised by that action....wasn't disappointed
I think the car in front and to her left was supposed to follow the lines into a different street, but they decided they wanted her lane. She probably over reacted with her stopping, but she was annoyed that the other car caused her to have nonconsentual reaming.
It doesn't particularly matter why she stopped. Doesn't happen when people are paying attention and not following too close... But yeah, WTF was she stopping for? I guess it made sense to her.
She was giving way to the guy on the left cutting into her lane. He was ment to continue left and she was to continue right into the far left lane. Looks like guy on left was confused and cut right
Kudos to the bike rider at 21:53, didn't spit the dummy and try to smash the cars mirrors like a lot of childish petulant bike riders would, just calmly explained his position to the driver and went on with his day, 10/10
Thanks man, usually I never road rage and I typically laugh at people like this but I was honestly stunned how she claims she didnt know she overtook me after following me about 2km prior to this clip
The amount of people driving down the wrong side of the road is now at epidemic proportions. I see it almost every time I'm on the road. When are the authorities going to do something to address this? When you can enter Australia from a place where there are no road rules at all, and be able to get straight in a car and cause mayhem, this is not ok. We demand at least a few PSAs on billboards etc.
There are a few Drive on the Left In Australia signs and markings on the roads around my way as there were some fatal head-ons involving fruit pickers.
The sheer amount of people that are willing to drive into the oncoming lane to avoid a collision (usually from cars exiting the side-street) instead of getting on the brakes is grim.
Helped by not trailing directly behind her blowing the horn while at the same time blocking the roundabout. Everyone had time to see her and take action accordingly...
21:24 the nerve of this driver that was prepared to run a red with ample time to stop at 50kmh and hangs on the horn at the truck that was doing a lawful right hand turn. Nice HUD forza bro!
I hope "Matt" does a better job at mowing than he does at driving. What a flog. If only we had his phone number, we could bombard him with messages offering some well considered feedback.
8:45 She braked hard because the SUV changed lanes half way through the turn and cut her off. Another example of the car who caused the accident getting away with no damage.
1:30 I think about 80% of drivers I see in Sydney follow the vehicle in front of them at an unsafe distance. I just hope they learn when this happens. Lucky it wasn't worse.
It got worse after he left my cam view. The street he went into had a slight decline, the caravan picked up a bit of speed and it hit the back of the car… twice
@@Wolfinator234 looks like the connector popped off the top of the towball because of the driveway angle and was still attached by the chain/ D shackle. Not wanting to block traffic he/ she does what you see on the clip
It is way to easy to get a licence in this country. My dashcam as a truck driver writes over its self every 4 days on 1080p 128gb card with the content I capture.
It's easier to pass a driving test than pass wind. And when I went for my HR I thought that was even easier. Probably because people already know how to drive when they go for a heavy vehicle licence. Well, most do.
It's remarkable how many of the near misses are simply because the cammer is in the wrong lane! Unless I missed something, we drive on the left here in Australia
4:59 a camry driven at night with only fog lights, no headlights, beeping another camry for not clearing an intersection. sigh. second car might be an audi actually now i look again, eh all cars look the same these days
22:38 is a shocking intersection (Chelsea beach). Since removing the crossing there, there's no right turn light and only a small area in the middle there where the tracks used to be. Went to Chelsea a few weeks ago on a hotter day and maybe 2 cars pass every light (if lucky). Never going to that beach again, easily stuck there for 40min (saw another guy cut I'm front of one of the cars that waited patiently, almost got into a fist fight before he decided to just circle in front of everyone and go through a red anyway).
It had a chain on it, that was why he was dragging it across the road. But it was long enough that when the ball became unhitched, he created a lovely tow ball sized air vent on the front of his mobile home.

Tasmania used to have a mandatory retest each year if you're over 85, they dropped it as there was no demonstrable proof that age group caused any more crashes than any other age group.
Having said that, I have no idea why this muppet didn't apply the mandatory trailer park/hand brake then move his ute out of the way. And not one car or the cammer could be bothered to help.
This clip has nothing to do with age, stupidity cares not a bit for how many laps around the sun you've completed.
Next time you get behind the wheel, remember this guy is out there, somewhere...
Boomer and a caravan is one of the most dangerous combos on the road today.
23:40 that’s not how you tow a caravan 😂
I thought it was the new hitch system. Stops the car rolling when the caravan does. At least they remembered the chains for once. 😂
Stupid old codger, why is the piece of shit lifted so much if he cant get in and out of it without spacking a hip?
@@gandalf501
Ironically this one time if they had forgotten the chains, they probably would have had less damage and an easier way to clear it all up out of the traffic.
I swear that intersection in Morwell at 16:16 makes it in a new these compilations every 3rd or 4th one lol
14:58 camera owner caused this. So many times I've seen this courtesy approach lead to problems, cars and pedestrians alike.
Cam car is partly responsible, but both parties should be wary of ALL right turns through a multi-lane road with stopped traffic. If you ever leave a courtesy gap on a multi-lane road, it's YOUR responsibility to monitor the left lane and be ready to blast your horn.
Could you quote the law that says that?
Pretty please with sugar on top?
I have done just that for traffic...
watched for fast movers coming from behind me in the left "lane"...and warned drivers turning across my bow into a supermarket entrance...
but as a courtesy only.
I did this almost every afternoon during my commute home at a particularly badly designed intersection and without having a crash happen....
but if it did...
not my responsibility.
As always the driver making the maneouvre is responsible....
I was stationary officer...
@@sjwright2
The dashcam driver did nothing wrong. At 15:00 the lane ahead begins to clear. At 15:01 the lane ahead is clear. At 15:02 the oncoming red car is already turning.
Can you explain how the dash cam driver caused the other driver to fail to give way? also not just courtesy but required by law not to block an intersection.
@7:15 "I dont know where the smoke came from officer, i think it was the Honda Accord"
Old mate at the end... Good start to the holiday... straight to the van repair centre...
12:11 calm done ya spaz
I need to get me a merc or bmw so I can just drive through intersections while the lights are red.
1st video. Well done on multiple catches.
Car cuts DC off, and does a burnout. But also, on the left, was a red arrow the 4WD towing trailer went through it…
12:09 this isn't a normal human response, right?
Very much an overreaction to a minor incident which I presume didn’t cause a massive amount of damage. Carrying on like he’s had his car written off.
I bet he’s small in stature.
No, dude is completely unhinged and will end up beating his kids iver the smallest things, no doubt.
Only if you have a micro penis...
it absolutely is, wtf are you on about?
4:47 Some people must get so used to the sound of horns directed at them , it just becomes background noise ! Just kept on driving into danger as if the horn meant nothing....
We were just talking today about people, ignoring car horns. Thought maybe a horn that sounds like tyres squealing with a massive bang at the end might get their attention.
"they're not honking at me, I'm not doing anything wrong"
That's because to them, the horn means:
"They've seen me so I can keep moving"
Nah, not at all - he absolutely does react to the horn.
He just reacts by brake-checking and then running DC off the road. 100% malicious.
@@patheddles4004 Air horns maybe?
15:37 the result of more Australians opting for the oversize vehicle while keeping the undersize brain.
Came to the comments to see who else was confused by the chick stopping and then getting reamed - sounding surprised by that action....wasn't disappointed
I think the car in front and to her left was supposed to follow the lines into a different street, but they decided they wanted her lane.
She probably over reacted with her stopping, but she was annoyed that the other car caused her to have nonconsentual reaming.
It doesn't particularly matter why she stopped. Doesn't happen when people are paying attention and not following too close...
But yeah, WTF was she stopping for? I guess it made sense to her.
I think you mean to say rammed. To be reamed is something interestingly different actually.
She did kinda sound stoned aye.
She was giving way to the guy on the left cutting into her lane. He was ment to continue left and she was to continue right into the far left lane.
Looks like guy on left was confused and cut right
7:32 did anyone else notice the bike disappear just before the tram passed? i know it was most likely a camera glitch but it looked trippy as!
7:23 Pulls into the tire shop 😂 you cant make this up
Hey mate you ripped me off, i just bought these and they are already bald!
@@johnt.848 im guessing he can only afford retreads too, with such useless "driving" probably spends more on recycled rubbers than fuel
Kudos to the bike rider at 21:53, didn't spit the dummy and try to smash the cars mirrors like a lot of childish petulant bike riders would, just calmly explained his position to the driver and went on with his day, 10/10
Thanks man, usually I never road rage and I typically laugh at people like this but I was honestly stunned how she claims she didnt know she overtook me after following me about 2km prior to this clip
The guy in the gold hilux needs his license to be revoked
The amount of people driving down the wrong side of the road is now at epidemic proportions. I see it almost every time I'm on the road. When are the authorities going to do something to address this? When you can enter Australia from a place where there are no road rules at all, and be able to get straight in a car and cause mayhem, this is not ok. We demand at least a few PSAs on billboards etc.
There are a few Drive on the Left In Australia signs and markings on the roads around my way as there were some fatal head-ons involving fruit pickers.
So tax payers have to fork the bill.
How about not letting them in in the first place.
To many "student" visas
4:54 mat's mowing he'll cut your grass then cut you off
4:53 Looks like Mr Matt's mowing page is "unavailable". Didnt take long 🤣🤣
"Ladies and gentleman.............. we got em"
Yeah, let's try to ruin someone's business because they made a mistake when driving 🙄
@@emiliomiller5952 It wasn't just a mistake, they ran the DC driver off the road once they realised they cut DC car off.
OK Matt ;-p
16:25 now that's why I watch Australian dash cams 😂
That'll be in the next reactions comp 😂
Lowkey sounded like my brother I got scared
No that was cringe
We should all get bigger wiper blades to remove the E scooters from our windscreens.
The sheer amount of people that are willing to drive into the oncoming lane to avoid a collision (usually from cars exiting the side-street) instead of getting on the brakes is grim.
Always excited to see a new video 😊
I hope someone stopped to help the old nonna pushing the trolley on the roundabout 😢
8:36 what did you stop for?
Helped by not trailing directly behind her blowing the horn while at the same time blocking the roundabout.
Everyone had time to see her and take action accordingly...
@@JohnSmith-yv6eqat least the cammer wasn't one of those ppl.
Are you blind? DC driver was cut off by the car turning onto the wrong side of the divider
@@Adam-dm1se DC didn't have to slam on her brakes though.. she sounded drugged.
Stopped for that sweet sweet insurance money 😂
21:24 the nerve of this driver that was prepared to run a red with ample time to stop at 50kmh and hangs on the horn at the truck that was doing a lawful right hand turn. Nice HUD forza bro!
Ample time to stop is very far-fetched
I hope "Matt" does a better job at mowing than he does at driving. What a flog. If only we had his phone number, we could bombard him with messages offering some well considered feedback.
DCOA will probably take the video down last time if they complain too much
.It's on trailer.
17:45 "..Zorg ! ..my disguise is failing ! .. Help ! Soon the humans will discover me ! .. let me shimmy across the road and ... ouch! .."
2:46 Latest hit single from DCOA.
5:48 not a worry in the world..... IM DRIVING HERE !
I am guessing 85 years old or stoned, that was shocking, failed to give way to 2 cars and drove as slow as his mobility scooter.
So, it is true. You can get your licence from a cereal box! We're all doomed 😂
8:45 that was your own fault, why did you brake so hard?
9:44. That's what I love about Australia
Yeah not sure why she stopped at 8:45
8:45 She braked hard because the SUV changed lanes half way through the turn and cut her off. Another example of the car who caused the accident getting away with no damage.
Are you blind?@@SoHighIFly
12:10 Jesus Christ mate calm down or get off the road . Fucking lunatic
her own fault? she was cut off, and anyway, don't fucking tailgate, doesn't matter why someone stops in front of you, don't drive into them... ffs...
22:02 She was lane filtering, just like a bike. :-)
The car identified as a bike... The passenger is in the sidecar.
1:30 I think about 80% of drivers I see in Sydney follow the vehicle in front of them at an unsafe distance. I just hope they learn when this happens. Lucky it wasn't worse.
Many of those have moved to Brisbane and now 80% of drivers here tailgate too
Unfortunately, every time you leave a decent gap, some fkr sees it as an invitation for their car to squeeze in.
Every city in Australia. Note the "slow" lane usually travels faster and has fewer rear end incidents. Safest and fastest lane to travel in.
Time to get judgey!!😂
Nah yeah
I'll be the judge of that!
I'm sure 21:00 meant us to tut the bike, but he pulled out in front of the guy.
the last clip..... it couldn't get any worse.......wait a minute...... it did !!
It got worse after he left my cam view. The street he went into had a slight decline, the caravan picked up a bit of speed and it hit the back of the car… twice
@@kaitlinm4896 damn !!!!(it had disaster written all over it from the moment you pulled up !!)
what is even going on there ... caravan doesn't seem properly hitched. What is the guy trying to do
@@Wolfinator234 looks like the connector popped off the top of the towball because of the driveway angle and was still attached by the chain/ D shackle. Not wanting to block traffic he/ she does what you see on the clip
14:23 cammer was so stunned he ran an orange.
5:35 they Obviously drive with their eyes closed in Marong Vic :)
these people come under my fav song "things that make you go mmm"
21:45 why drink and drive home when you can smoke dope and fly home 😂😂
5:07 maybe the Camry would be easier to see if they turned the headlights on?
It is way to easy to get a licence in this country. My dashcam as a truck driver writes over its self every 4 days on 1080p 128gb card with the content I capture.
It's easier to pass a driving test than pass wind. And when I went for my HR I thought that was even easier. Probably because people already know how to drive when they go for a heavy vehicle licence. Well, most do.
It's remarkable how many of the near misses are simply because the cammer is in the wrong lane! Unless I missed something, we drive on the left here in Australia
4:59 a camry driven at night with only fog lights, no headlights, beeping another camry for not clearing an intersection. sigh. second car might be an audi actually now i look again, eh all cars look the same these days
beeping the other car for blowing through the red light.
Yep it’s an Audi
23:20 - That is why grey nomads need more training, no matter how old you are imagine what he is driving like on the highways.
burns out tyres...goes directly to tyre shop. Didn't pass go. Didn't collect $200 lol
It may have been an attempt to use up the last bit of rubber. Better than allowing it to go to waste.
@@davidvanderklauw Or the tyre shop guy getting the hard top layer of rubber off the new tyres for the customer......
@@brianspencer6397 Is this like washing new undies before you wear them? 🤣
22:38 is a shocking intersection (Chelsea beach). Since removing the crossing there, there's no right turn light and only a small area in the middle there where the tracks used to be. Went to Chelsea a few weeks ago on a hotter day and maybe 2 cars pass every light (if lucky). Never going to that beach again, easily stuck there for 40min (saw another guy cut I'm front of one of the cars that waited patiently, almost got into a fist fight before he decided to just circle in front of everyone and go through a red anyway).
23:20 Safety chains, people, safety chains! They will save you so much embarrasment and an expensive repair bill.
It had a chain on it, that was why he was dragging it across the road. But it was long enough that when the ball became unhitched, he created a lovely tow ball sized air vent on the front of his mobile home.
@@TonyHamlyn I thought that was the electrical connector. If that was his safety chain, it was definitely too long.
@KarlEller you might be right, that has some extra level strength though for an electrical hookup!
4:56 he even cut him off more aggressively when he got honked at. cammer should brake check him in revenge
At first glance I thought his sign said "Meth Mowing"! 😄
10:23 Wins best in- car audio….
The person driving between 2:35-2:44, you have great music taste and I too am a listener of Amity Affliction.
It's common sense, and it's showing courtesy to slow down a bit when someone is trying to pass you, legally or not
@1.17 looks like the road rules in springvale. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
Gotta love the high amount of couldn'tgiveafuckattude in these videos.
8:20 Happened to me in this exact spot couple years ago on Green Road, heart was in my mouth!😬
The first clip on the left, nice work with the trailer just blowing the red turn arrow without a care in the world
