That light that Amy went through was yellow for the entire video. Why did she not slow down and stop? She had more the enough time and could have avoided the crash.
@@BukuiZhao Lol, come on Amy, stop using fake profiles. The distance was well enough to stop without aquaplaning. Yes it did turn red half second later but Amy had enough time to stop
@aliemiratakk The second crash she is definitely at fault. No sense of awareness of what's going on around her, trying to "beat the light" ("I didn't think I could stop" is such a BS excuse that I'm not going to dignify it with a response. Not responding at all when the first vehicle turned in front of her. Yes, the other person is at fault too for failing to yield, but that does not excuse her actions. I feel the cops made the right call there.
I’ve driven for 25 years, living in Seattle, Salt Lake, Denver, ect, 0 accidents. I’ve avoided countless close calls. Dive careful, and concentrate fully on predicting traffic, don’t break the laws, and these things tend to not happen.
And a tesla drivers They are basically as the average Mustang Driver They always overestimate the cars because they think they have the best cars In fact they have the worst of all together
A bit of advice if you get Sentry mode footage but don't capture the numberplate/licence plate of the offending car: if you pull out the USB stick/flash drive (make sure you turn off sentry mode first), there will be clips leading up to the time you take it out and that might include the information you need. Don't leave it too late, because the saved clips get overwritten.
OKAY NOW DO THE ~200 crashes from last year that were CAUSED by Tesla pilot. Like running over a pedestrian. Committing suicide by running into a concrete barrier. Driving off the road .
I think Amy had enough time to slowly come to a stop, but the other driver definitely shouldn't have gone either. The only reason that she wouldn't have been able to stop would have been her having bald or going bald tires, which in that case, means she should be getting new tires instead of cruising through yellow lights. Just a thought though. I was taught to slow down when nearing a yellow light, not continue along at the same speed (from the distance that Amy was at anyway). Surprised that light was yellow for that long, too.
Left turn traffic almost always turns on or even after the yellow which is why I stop if I’m coming up on a yellow going straight to allow them to turn. They are often in the middle of the intersection and have no choice but to go or block traffic. She had plenty of time to stop, assuming she was paying attention but a lot of people think it’s fine to be in the intersection on a red.
lmfao she thought she couldnt get thru on time, yet is driving a tesla with what tesla people say is the best of the best. cmon now amy ure driving a tesla not a semi truck. funny enough its probably what caused the first tesla to get totaled, as she hit the brakes and the car behind her didnt have the same amount of stopping power
For the Wales clip, I'm English and cycle everywhere as my only form of transit 1. It is legally required for drivers to have that amount of distance when passing cycles and horses 2. It is illegal to overtake there, the road markings clearly indicate this 3. The cyclist did not signal or use the turning lane, instead using the wrong turning lane for that junction Both at fault, however the driver would be liable as the larger vehicle and the fact they where illegally overtaking, Hope this helps! Edit: Cyclists have full priority over cars on all roadways on the UK except for motorways, they have, legally, a right to be there
@@ariestitties Which is why we need to build bicycle lanes. Drivers are so dangerous to each other, to bicyclists, to pedestrians, and to buildings that they need their own separate lanes away from traditional traffic like bicycles and pedestrians.
@@langhamp8912 I think you’ll find the cyclist was also wrong. He did not use the filter lane correctly and also did not signal. They both were in the wrong but in a scenario where it would have been legal for the car to overtake a dare say the law would still side with the cyclist as they seem to never do any wrong.
For Steve's video, there's a mantra that I learned from the Baltimore Bike Club while I was a member. "Cyclists are safest when they act and are treated as vehicles on the road." If that bike was a car, he would be found at fault in a collision.
You’re right about the bicycle not abiding to the rules of the road but unfortunately the car was not abiding by the rules of the road either. I think they both would have been liable if there had been a collision with damages. Without dash cam footage unfortunately the car probably would have been held liable.
Where I live it is in fact, the law. "The bicycle is defined as a vehicle. The operator of a vehicle is granted the same rights and subject to the same duties of the driver of any other vehicle."

@@scottmcshannon6821 So what you're saying is that you don't know how a zipper merge works? That's ok, bad drivers generally don't. The Toyota driver was the ass in that clip, not the Mercedes driver.
The first one for her most likely really was bad luck. But for her second crash... come on, "didnt want to risk braking hard on a wet road"? Gimme a break. She could have stopped easily on that one. Bi*** was probably distracted and didnt wanna admit it. Or shes just a bad driver - not even a Tesla can compensate for those.
I feel like Amy could use some supplemental driver safety classes. 💀Although I wouldn't mind some myself after almost going off the road on a short off ramp after getting my Y. Good thing they can go from 70 to 30 pretty fast 😱
IF THE TRAFFIC CAM shows your car inside the intersection “box” when the light is red, then you’re getting a ticket. Your car must be exited the other side to be compliant with Michigan law .
@@electrictroy2010 Doesn't really matter at any rate though. Amy was deliberately racing through, which is always reckless driving or a deliberate crash. If she avoided a full red light by sheer coincidence, is immaterial: Reckless agressive driver, possibly bash-cash, needs to be charged.
First story around 0:30: "She wasn*t sure if she could stop in time" -- so she decided to run a red light without making any attempt to brake. Unbelievable.
The light was yellow when she went into the intersection and when the crash happened. No idea where the police got a red light from. Must be colour blind 😂
#25 is why I purchased aftermarket "rubber bumpers" to stick on the farthest edge of my car doors. And lots of people also do that in my country. It's not just to prevent denting other people's cars, but also to protect that edge from being damaged and becoming a starting point for rust.
The bumpers are ugly. Also I’ve had my car 300,000 miles & no damage on the edge of the doors. You just be careful when opening Same with hood bras… more ugly that a few stone chips.
Oooh! That sounds like a great way for me and my sister to curb some of our parking lot anxieties! (Our dad left us very sensitive to the possibility of getting yelled at.) Thank you--didn't know they existed, and will be looking into it! :D
@@Ikller-xh7qqI think it is because the performance has slightly stretched tyres, so the sidewall is pulled. I must have just clipped it, the entry hole shows how it cut in from the light being between the sidewall and the road

@@fredpuntdroad8701 Fun fact: fredpuntdroad8701 is trying to spread FUD through blatant lies. Anyone can easily check the results of the various Teslas at organizations like EuroNCAP, NHTSA or IIHS. In fact, no Tesla ever got less than 5 stars in a crash test rating at any of these organizations. Model Y broke the scale for safety of a vehicle of it's class when it was tested by EuroNCAP last year, and we even got to see a real world example of how safe the Y is when a doctor attempted to kill himself and his entire family by driving off a 330 foot cliff in California early this year; they all survived. At NHTSA the 2023 Tesla Model Y has a five star rating in everything and at IIHS the 2023 Model Y is a "Top safety pick+".

Re #25: if the other driver had dogs in tow at a shipping center, odds are they were being taken to a groomer. He should check for groomers and ask who had that kind of dog in for work. Who knows, he might get lucky and find out who she was. The video would prove the case.
why would a business give out names or identities of their customers? i rarely find that to work as they'll think hes some stalker trying to kill her or sum bs. as more and more people are beginning to live in fear
@@MrPaxio You go in and ask them nicely if this person, with video of the incident, has been there. Most will affirm if they are, and then you can also go to the centre management and ask them, as this was on premise, and likely they also have video of the vehicle entering with both the driver and number plate visible. Then you can approach the police and let them request the video to look up the info.
Also let’s be honest: Most businesses do Not protect their customers & will happily share data. The business owner won’t risk trouble with government. He’ll just confess the info
Years ago I pulled up at lights, put the car in neutral, handbrake on. Heard the sound of screeching tyres behind me and saw a minivan crashing into my rear. The first thing the driver said as she got out was "But.. but... the light was yellow" By sheer coincidence, the next car to come along was a police car with an accident investigation researcher in it. Needless to say, I was entirely blameless
#30, Shane....I feel you buddy. Just last week with just 10k miles arriving in a parking lot I got the same message and within seconds the tire went flat. It was a 1" bar steel plate that punctured my tire which ended up costing me $551.....my early Christmas present to myself :( Glad nothing else was damanged and you were ok tho.
I would have to disagree. The light didn't flip to red until she had crossed the stop line of the intersection. She had a right to continue through. I hope she takes that to court.
Avoidable, yes, her fault, no. The light was yellow when she entered the intersection as most US states are permissive yellow light states (if the light is yellow you can legally enter the intersection). Only 8 states are restrictive yellow. If I were Amy I'd absolutely go to court over this since a ticket on her record will raise her rates and she absolutely didn't do anything illegal by the letter of the law. edit: The business has a 616 area code which is Michigan. Michigan IS a restrictive yellow state (if you CAN safely stop you MUST stop). So the ticket may be legal. Still with the wet conditions she could argue in court that she could not safely stop. Michigan law (MCL 257.612(b)) states that "If the signal exhibits a steady yellow indication, vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection or at a limit line when marked, but if the stop cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection."
Not sure what the laws in the USA are, but I'd assume it's similar to the UK, "you must stop for an Amber light unless unsafe to do so", meaning, unless you're going to have to slam on and risk getting rear-ended, or you won't be able to stop in time (whilst doing the speed limit) you must stop. If this is true, Amy is 100% at fault as she had so long to stop. Atleast 100 yards when it went amber.
How tf can you say Toohaiku was following the impaired driver from a safe distance when he’s following that closely? Seriously should be a minimum of a 2 second gap and for safety more like 3 seconds!!!
i started watching these type of videos bc my dad was hit by a old lady while riding his bike. She didn't even stop, just kept going. Luckily, his bike was still usable and he wasn't hurt badly, so he was able to bike home. Videos like these show how stupid young and old drivers are + the people filming. Its good to know how how to try and avoid accidents.
Agreed, I would say both are at fault here. The 50/50 seems to be fair. Running a red might not be the best description, but she should be considered at fault. I’m not condoning the Chevy driver’s actions either.
IF THE TRAFFIC CAM shows your car inside the intersection “box” when the light is red, then you’re getting a ticket. Your car must be exited the other side to be compliant with Michigan law That’s why cops said Amy was at fault .
#9: Clearly the cyclist was at fault. I don't know what the laws are in the U.K., but I assume they have laws that cyclists still need to indicate. Still, indicators are a foreign concept to a lot of people in cars, but they're still allowed on the road.

#9--I say the bicyclist was at fault for not paying attention to traffic and for not using a hand turn signal to let the driver behind know that he was turning right.
There's a channel called Just Rolled Out. I'm amazed at what people are driving on the roads. Cars with the steering rack barely attached. Brakes that they kept on using to the point they aren't there anymore. Yesterday there was an exhaust repair using metal from an old oil filter. Contrast that with this channel - someone put a slight scratch on my tesla in a parking lot. That'll be $2000 to repaint it so it's back to being like off the showroom floor.
Yeah. Once someone parked into me in a parking lot and that person denied doing that and said I did that. With the Teslacam I would not even have to say anything and show them the video straight.
7:51 I had the same situation except that the car behind me flashing and beeping was an ambulance! I should have known better to NOT merge in the middle of traffic no matter how much the ambulance is flashing and beeping behind me...
The ambulance isn't even allowed to do that. They are allowed to drive faster and go through intersections without giving way and pass red lights etc. But they are not allowed to cause danger to other drivers. That driver could lose his license if you had proof.
Oh, that's where my flashlight went! Jk, if I lost my streamlight stinger from my car and it punched through the tire, that person would probably be replacing a rim too... also, that cyclist was absolutely in the wrong. You should always use hand signals to convey intent of travel in absence of light signals
17:12 Weirdly yes, I think it's the third or fourth flashlight in a tire I have seen, I don't know why so many are lost on roads, but they might be forgotten on the roof of a car or the bed of a truck, and then fall on the road. I think it's the shape of the front end that makes it dig into the road and push the back end trough the tire.
the biker that cut in front of that car would be at fault. Bikers are supposed to use hand signals. it would be like if it was a car that didn't use the turn signals

Thanks for the video! I like this longer video format @0:30 - ok, to me this is the Tesla's fault. When else is the car turning left supposed to turn? @5:57 - the Biker is at fault, there are sidewalks with no people on it at all why aren't you using that?
Many places have rules against bicycles running on sidewalks/footpaths. UK is among them. I DO think the cyclist should have signaled though, but so should the white car, but mostly the bicyclist.
About that flashlight in the tire, I've had something happen to me like that years ago, I was driving on snow and ice covered streets when my right front tire went flat. I had a bolt the size of a small drinking glass stuck in the side of my tire. I still can't figure out how that happened!
Steve and his cyclist. Steve, if you think that cyclist's behaviour is why cyclist should not be allowed on the road, keep in mind that every other clip in this video shows why cars should not be allowed on the road.
@@grahvis Yup. There's equal amount of nitwit in a box on 4 wheels vs nitwit on 2 triangle and 2 wheels. The only difference is cyclist that don't use their common sence just never had a driving lesson or are too oblivious to watch out to stay alive.
@@TwinShards . Watching videos such as this one suggests that equally applies to vehicle drivers, they are just as oblivious. Driving lessons don't appear to have much effect. The only difference that drivers are better protected and so get away with more.
Absolutely agree. Idiots both ride bikes and drive cars. The cyclist usually ride more carefully because accidents are much more likely to be fatal but there are those cyclists out there that ride to the bar because they lost their license from DUI..
Steve in Wales needs to be more tolerant of bicycles on roads. In this case, the cyclist didn’t signal or check for traffic before changing lanes and making a turn - 100% at fault for poor maneuvering here. That said, bicycles are vehicles and they have every right to the road as a car (where there isn’t a designated bike lane/path). At least that’s how it is in the US, dunno about Wales.
That's how it's done in literally every single jurisdiction on the face of the earth. "Cyclists shouldn't be on roads" is a terminally carbrained take; what damage are cyclists capable of? It's like saying knives should be banned but guns should be legal
The cyclist was obviously at fault, not looking before changing lane/crossing the road and no hand signal (that is, for place where it's required by law for cyclist to hand signal their turns)
I couldn’t see the tread but obviously she is just a careless driver. 2 accidents? I’ve driven for 25 years in some of the busiest cities in the west and have never gotten in one. I drive defensive, and took my drivers Ed training in high school seriously and still do to this day. I stop on yellow when reasonable to ensure I am not running a red, which is the whole point of the yellow.

For Joe's video...the Mercedes is clearly at fault. While it is definitely common courtesy to let someone in, it's not required. The Toyota driver was a jerkass but didn't do anything illegal. If someone won't let you in, is it really worth it to destroy your car over it? Just slow down and get behind them. It's not worth it to provoke a confrontation over something like that.
That's exactly what I told my teenager (testing soon for his permit). Toyota was a jerk for not following the custom, but Mercedes was legally obligated to yield.
The accident is Amy’s fault. The law states that when a light turns yellow, stop if you can safely do so. Amy had PLENTY of time to stop. There’s a reason why they say you should stop at a yellow light if you can, at that was a perfect example of why.
Stop if you can is clearly the call of the driver. If your front wheels cross the stop line before the light turns red you have a right to continue through and clear the intersection. It was the turning driver's fault.

11:31 i don't get that, why when someone doesnt have enough coverage, or none at all, why do people file with their own insurance? can you not sue the other person in court and collect that way? after all, if it was their fault, they're still responsible for the bill, insurance or not, right?
that's how insurances scam us. we basically insure not the vehicle we drive but rather the one we hit in the accident. sounds stupid? welcome to world of fraud. approved by congress.
Amy had like 5 full seconds to stop, hardly going too fast or too slippery... Like c'mon... She did not technically run a red light though, as she entered the intersection when the light was still yellow.. The other car was also technically in the intersection when the light was yellow.. So seeing that they both got blame makes sense. She should know better.. If the intersection was clear then its not as big of a deal but with people in the turning lane and the light turning yellow 5 seconds before you enter the intersection you should be stopping to let them turn...

@@Dark_side9999 "Traffic laws can vary but usually oncoming traffic will have the right of way during a yellow light. A driver turning left on a yellow light has the legal responsibility to make sure they have the proper amount of time and space to safely execute a left-hand turn. Comparative negligence can be assigned when there is some fault shared by both sides, meaning not all accidents are the same and should be handled on a case-by-case basis." In this case they are both being negligent. She had PLENTY of time to stop. She entered the intersection 5 seconds after the light turned yellow. That evidence would definitely come in to play if they took this to court. the other driver also tried to save time and entered the intersection on yellow. They are both at fault bud.. No matter how she tries to spin it saying "it wasn't safe to stop because it was wet" well that logic played out pretty well. Most likely her just trying to justify going through the yellow light after the fact.
The cyclist was at fault for turning right giving no indication of changing direction. The car driver did everything right given the new changes in the rules here in the uk in regard to cyclists.
#13: I hate when people try to be "polite" and yield their right-of-way. DON'T DO THIS. For the reason in the video, but also because it only makes traffic worse; people expect you to take the right-of-way, and being "nice" only confuses them - so they stop and wait to see what they should do. Also, if anything happens, your failure to yield the right-of-way puts you totally at fault. This behavior is extremely common at 4-way stop signs. It seems like most people don't know how they work. I heard one of the best pieces of advice about driving in traffic from a flight instructor: "Don't be polite. Be predictable." (Some airplanes don't have radios, so the pilots need people to follow the rules, so they can know what to expect. Also, at an airport with a control tower, unusual maneuvers are distracting to air traffic controllers. Distractions are very very bad, in that job.)
Those 4-way stops are just bad, IMHO. I'm not sure, but I think most of the rest of the world puts stop signs only on intersections that are particularly accident-prone, and then only on two of the branches. All other intersections have no signs, which means the right-before-left rule applies. This means, everyone gives way to the person coming from the right, or to oncoming traffic if they're turning left themselves. Unfortunatly, this can create a deadlock, e.g. car A wants to turn left, car B is oncoming, car C is coming from the left of car A. That means A has the RoW over C, C has the RoW over B, B has RoW over A. Everyone is waiting. The first one to wave the car he has the right of way over is the hero and resolves the situation. The whole concept works rather well.
5:22 that's not illegal left turn, you can turn left yielding to upcoming traffic. This is not the first time you are making this mistake in your videos
We need stronger penalties for driving uninsured, being underinsured and not covering the damages you cause, and for failing to self-report damages you cause to parked/unattended cars.
I doubt that's true everywhere.. putting on your turn signal, starting to leave your lane but never actually leaving it doesn't seem like causing an accident to me (they corrected on the line, didn't even look like it went over the line). Looks like a terrible overreaction by the driver in the middle lane. I can't imagine giving no fault for such a bad knee jerk reaction with the steering wheel lol.
@@1byrdman007 They aren’t 100% at fault, but if that car didn’t start changing lanes into the other car no accident would’ve happened. And in the US, which I believe which is where this took place, that is considered a non-contact hit and run and that car has to stop
@@shwn4922 I certainly agree that a non-contact hit and run is possible, but you would need a lawyer in this jurisdiction to determine the specifics (more than just US, state and local laws need considered.) Starting to change lanes is hardly a reason to swerve the way that car did, and I'm guessing a good lawyer would argue very little liability compared to the bad driving from the middle lane driver. If they had actually left their lane into the other person's lane I could see more liability, but driving on the line and then correcting doesn't seem like a huge infraction. The biggest infraction was probably leaving the scene, the scene of an overreacting bad driver lol.
He swung his car just before impacting my car, and plowed into the center dividing fence. I almost stopped, but figured my car was no damaged, so why bother?

She was lucky that the yellow was so incredibly long. No way it was good judgment on her part to test that yellow---she had amble room to gradually brake and stop. She had more than enough distance to stop. 50/50 sounds fair, given it was just a roll of the dice that barely got the nose of her car past the line before it turned red.
@@ischmidt Not interested in blame????? You said that, "Amy could’ve avoided the car turning." isnt that placing blame? lol... The car that turned did not have the right a way and is still at fault... Call an attorney or police officer and they will tell you the same. Blame would be placed on the turning driver.
DJJumpdancer correct there is something called hand signals or a light attachment that you can use -the only hand signals that everybody should know are (left arm level with shoulder) 1. STOPing - arm at 90 degrees down fingers together pointing at ground 2. LEFT TURN - arm pointing left fingers together 3. RIGHT TURN - arm at 90 degrees up fingers together pointing at sky you are required to know these to get your license here in MI and yes you can use these if your rear lights go out in your car

A bit of advice if you get Sentry mode footage but don't capture the numberplate/licence plate of the offending car: if you pull out the USB stick/flash drive (make sure you turn off sentry mode first), there will be clips leading up to the time you take it out and that might include the information you need. Don't leave it too late, because the saved clips get overwritten.
The cameras are so crap they barely catch a plate anyway. First thing I did was put a decent standalone dashcam in my tesla

I think Amy had enough time to slowly come to a stop, but the other driver definitely shouldn't have gone either.

She had plenty of time to stop before the lights even. The fact that she didn't even try means she's not a good driver at all.
Left turn traffic almost always turns on or even after the yellow which is why I stop if I’m coming up on a yellow going straight to allow them to turn. They are often in the middle of the intersection and have no choice but to go or block traffic.

For the Wales clip, I'm English and cycle everywhere as my only form of transit
1. It is legally required for drivers to have that amount of distance when passing cycles and horses
2. It is illegal to overtake there, the road markings clearly indicate this
3. The cyclist did not signal or use the turning lane, instead using the wrong turning lane for that junction
Both at fault, however the driver would be liable as the larger vehicle and the fact they where illegally overtaking, Hope this helps!
Edit: Cyclists have full priority over cars on all roadways on the UK except for motorways, they have, legally, a right to be there
The cyclist was entirely right and the driver entirely wrong but a lot of drivers think the cyclist is wrong because he exists.
Which is why ppl hate cyclists. They can try to cause an accident like this and still get off scott free.
cyclists should be on the sidewalk
@@ariestitties Which is why we need to build bicycle lanes. Drivers are so dangerous to each other, to bicyclists, to pedestrians, and to buildings that they need their own separate lanes away from traditional traffic like bicycles and pedestrians.
@@langhamp8912 I think you’ll find the cyclist was also wrong. He did not use the filter lane correctly and also did not signal. They both were in the wrong but in a scenario where it would have been legal for the car to overtake a dare say the law would still side with the cyclist as they seem to never do any wrong.
For Steve's video, there's a mantra that I learned from the Baltimore Bike Club while I was a member. "Cyclists are safest when they act and are treated as vehicles on the road." If that bike was a car, he would be found at fault in a collision.
You’re right about the bicycle not abiding to the rules of the road but unfortunately the car was not abiding by the rules of the road either.
I think they both would have been liable if there had been a collision with damages. Without dash cam footage unfortunately the car probably would have been held liable.
Looked like the cyclist failed to signal or shoulder check, though with the dark clothing it's hard to tell. But why was the car on the zebra section?
No doubt about that. He was very lucky to not be killed or injured.
Most cyclists are a lot better than him. Otherwise they'd not survive.
Where I live it is in fact, the law. "The bicycle is defined as a vehicle. The operator of a vehicle is granted the same rights and subject to the same duties of the driver of any other vehicle."
OKAY NOW DO THE ~200 crashes from last year that were CAUSED by Tesla pilot. Like running over a pedestrian. Committing suicide by running into a concrete barrier. Driving off the road

@@scottmcshannon6821 So what you're saying is that you don't know how a zipper merge works? That's ok, bad drivers generally don't. The Toyota driver was the ass in that clip, not the Mercedes driver.
Amy isn’t cursed. She’s a bad driver. She ran a red light and ran into someone. Imagine that.
The first one for her most likely really was bad luck.
But for her second crash... come on, "didnt want to risk braking hard on a wet road"?
Gimme a break. She could have stopped easily on that one. Bi*** was probably distracted and didnt wanna admit it. Or shes just a bad driver - not even a Tesla can compensate for those.
It was a yellow light, not red, Amy isn’t at fault
I feel like Amy could use some supplemental driver safety classes. 💀Although I wouldn't mind some myself after almost going off the road on a short off ramp after getting my Y. Good thing they can go from 70 to 30 pretty fast 😱
IF THE TRAFFIC CAM shows your car inside the intersection “box” when the light is red, then you’re getting a ticket. Your car must be exited the other side to be compliant with Michigan law

@@electrictroy2010 Good to know. I don't travel much for good reason. I should probably take some supplemental driving classes. 😅
@@electrictroy2010
Doesn't really matter at any rate though. Amy was deliberately racing through, which is always reckless driving or a deliberate crash. If she avoided a full red light by sheer coincidence, is immaterial: Reckless agressive driver, possibly bash-cash, needs to be charged.
First story around 0:30: "She wasn*t sure if she could stop in time" -- so she decided to run a red light without making any attempt to brake. Unbelievable.
Big brain boss babe thinking
The light was yellow when she went into the intersection and when the crash happened. No idea where the police got a red light from. Must be colour blind 😂
#25 is why I purchased aftermarket "rubber bumpers" to stick on the farthest edge of my car doors. And lots of people also do that in my country. It's not just to prevent denting other people's cars, but also to protect that edge from being damaged and becoming a starting point for rust.
The bumpers are ugly. Also I’ve had my car 300,000 miles & no damage on the edge of the doors. You just be careful when opening
Same with hood bras… more ugly that a few stone chips.
@@electrictroy2010 depends on the bumper's shape. Many are shaped quite nice, adding interesting highlights to the car's lines.

Regarding that last clip, did the flashlight still work? It looked to be in remarkably good shape after what it gone through.
I think we need a follow up on this!!
I have another question:
How did it get stuck in the side?
@@WhamBaamTeslacamit worked! The end of the light was in the tyre. I reattached it and worked first time. I can send in pictures of it close up
@@Ikller-xh7qqI think it is because the performance has slightly stretched tyres, so the sidewall is pulled. I must have just clipped it, the entry hole shows how it cut in from the light being between the sidewall and the road

Longer episodes and more cam stories equal more satisfaction.
I ordered a MYP, and can’t wait to own the most American made car for the safety of my family.
Fun fact: Tesla scores early 1990's levels of safety with cars less than a third of the price outcompeting Tesla easily.
@@fredpuntdroad8701 Fun fact: fredpuntdroad8701 is trying to spread FUD through blatant lies.
Anyone can easily check the results of the various Teslas at organizations like EuroNCAP, NHTSA or IIHS. In fact, no Tesla ever got less than 5 stars in a crash test rating at any of these organizations.
Model Y broke the scale for safety of a vehicle of it's class when it was tested by EuroNCAP last year, and we even got to see a real world example of how safe the Y is when a doctor attempted to kill himself and his entire family by driving off a 330 foot cliff in California early this year; they all survived.
At NHTSA the 2023 Tesla Model Y has a five star rating in everything and at IIHS the 2023 Model Y is a "Top safety pick+".

One is easier to stop than the other.
@@dripskee6443 I see more bad drivers than bad cyclist. Just because we have videos of people doing good things bad things doesn't mean they need banned.
Re #25: if the other driver had dogs in tow at a shipping center, odds are they were being taken to a groomer. He should check for groomers and ask who had that kind of dog in for work. Who knows, he might get lucky and find out who she was. The video would prove the case.
Yes the groomers would know who the owner of the dogs are for sure
why would a business give out names or identities of their customers? i rarely find that to work as they'll think hes some stalker trying to kill her or sum bs. as more and more people are beginning to live in fear
@@MrPaxio You go in and ask them nicely if this person, with video of the incident, has been there. Most will affirm if they are, and then you can also go to the centre management and ask them, as this was on premise, and likely they also have video of the vehicle entering with both the driver and number plate visible. Then you can approach the police and let them request the video to look up the info.
Lawyers can subpoena the information once you know the runaway driver is a customer at the business
Also let’s be honest: Most businesses do Not protect their customers & will happily share data. The business owner won’t risk trouble with government. He’ll just confess the info

11:15 the impact wasn’t even that bad and her front bumper just came off 💀😭

The plastic bumper is not the real bumper. That’s just cosmetic. The metal beam underneath is the real bumper designed to absorb the impact
Edge of the panel probably got caught somewhere on the tesla and peeled off
I was like, damn, another Tesla? Why are these all Teslas? Then realized what channel I'm watching 😂😂😂
Years ago I pulled up at lights, put the car in neutral, handbrake on. Heard the sound of screeching tyres behind me and saw a minivan crashing into my rear. The first thing the driver said as she got out was "But.. but... the light was yellow" By sheer coincidence, the next car to come along was a police car with an accident investigation researcher in it. Needless to say, I was entirely blameless
#30, Shane....I feel you buddy. Just last week with just 10k miles arriving in a parking lot I got the same message and within seconds the tire went flat. It was a 1" bar steel plate that punctured my tire which ended up costing me $551.....my early Christmas present to myself :( Glad nothing else was damanged and you were ok tho.
Amy: your not cursed owning a Tesla. You just need a few driving lessons. That yellow/ red light accident was 100% avoidable.
Ikr
I would have to disagree. The light didn't flip to red until she had crossed the stop line of the intersection. She had a right to continue through. I hope she takes that to court.
Avoidable, yes, her fault, no. The light was yellow when she entered the intersection as most US states are permissive yellow light states (if the light is yellow you can legally enter the intersection). Only 8 states are restrictive yellow.
If I were Amy I'd absolutely go to court over this since a ticket on her record will raise her rates and she absolutely didn't do anything illegal by the letter of the law.
edit: The business has a 616 area code which is Michigan. Michigan IS a restrictive yellow state (if you CAN safely stop you MUST stop). So the ticket may be legal. Still with the wet conditions she could argue in court that she could not safely stop.
Michigan law (MCL 257.612(b)) states that "If the signal exhibits a steady yellow indication, vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection or at a limit line when marked, but if the stop cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection."
@@adobo1976 In what world is it OK to cross the stop line on a red light? She ran the red, no question about it.
@@Tresla The light changed after she entered the intersection, it was extremely poor judgment, but I'll bet that ticket could be fought.
REALLY Davien @17:01 ??? A man spits on your car and you expect a POLICE FOLLOW UP ! ! ! HA ! ! ! !
Looking for a comment like this! A perfect example of how entitled Tesla drivers act 😂
5:50 its the cyclists fault 100% - they are supposed to signal with their hand if they are planning on turning.
Not sure what the laws in the USA are, but I'd assume it's similar to the UK, "you must stop for an Amber light unless unsafe to do so", meaning, unless you're going to have to slam on and risk getting rear-ended, or you won't be able to stop in time (whilst doing the speed limit) you must stop. If this is true, Amy is 100% at fault as she had so long to stop. Atleast 100 yards when it went amber.
Not the same in many states but in Michigan, Amy's location, it is though the wording is slightly different.
Not Amy’s fault, light was yellow
Your channel is so pleasant to watch, very greatful that you don't include people's swearing in the clips 😀
Teslas don’t have sound….
12:17. Sheer driving pleasure + Ultimate Driving machine. BMW, (turn signal not included).
11:18 was hilarious for me. They way the person’s bumper just came off 😂
How tf can you say Toohaiku was following the impaired driver from a safe distance when he’s following that closely?
Seriously should be a minimum of a 2 second gap and for safety more like 3 seconds!!!

i started watching these type of videos bc my dad was hit by a old lady while riding his bike. She didn't even stop, just kept going. Luckily, his bike was still usable and he wasn't hurt badly, so he was able to bike home. Videos like these show how stupid young and old drivers are + the people filming. Its good to know how how to try and avoid accidents.
0:30 The 1st clip was stupid - she had loads of time to stop! Glad she was fined and was also found partly at fault!
Agreed, I would say both are at fault here. The 50/50 seems to be fair. Running a red might not be the best description, but she should be considered at fault. I’m not condoning the Chevy driver’s actions either.
Even if the car wasn't there. It turned red before she passed the intersection. So if the car wasn't there she'd run the red light
@@alexfranco6653 nah it turned red after she was in the intersection

When Amy hit the limit line at the crosswalk, the light turned red. She was at least 50% at fault.

#9--I say the bicyclist was at fault for not paying attention to traffic and for not using a hand turn signal to let the driver behind know that he was turning right.
A flashlight stuck in a car tire. 😲 Wow, I've seen everything. Maybe 🤔
There's a channel called Just Rolled Out. I'm amazed at what people are driving on the roads. Cars with the steering rack barely attached. Brakes that they kept on using to the point they aren't there anymore. Yesterday there was an exhaust repair using metal from an old oil filter. Contrast that with this channel - someone put a slight scratch on my tesla in a parking lot. That'll be $2000 to repaint it so it's back to being like off the showroom floor.

7:51 I had the same situation except that the car behind me flashing and beeping was an ambulance! I should have known better to NOT merge in the middle of traffic no matter how much the ambulance is flashing and beeping behind me...
The ambulance isn't even allowed to do that.
They are allowed to drive faster and go through intersections without giving way and pass red lights etc.
But they are not allowed to cause danger to other drivers.
That driver could lose his license if you had proof.
Excellent long episode.👍😁
Oh, that's where my flashlight went!
Jk, if I lost my streamlight stinger from my car and it punched through the tire, that person would probably be replacing a rim too... also, that cyclist was absolutely in the wrong. You should always use hand signals to convey intent of travel in absence of light signals
17:12 Weirdly yes, I think it's the third or fourth flashlight in a tire I have seen, I don't know why so many are lost on roads, but they might be forgotten on the roof of a car or the bed of a truck, and then fall on the road. I think it's the shape of the front end that makes it dig into the road and push the back end trough the tire.
I wonder if that's one of those tactical flashlights?

Many places have rules against bicycles running on sidewalks/footpaths. UK is among them.
I DO think the cyclist should have signaled though, but so should the white car, but mostly the bicyclist.
As a merging driver you have to make sure you are able to merge if not you prolly have to wait

About that flashlight in the tire, I've had something happen to me like that years ago, I was driving on snow and ice covered streets when my right front tire went flat. I had a bolt the size of a small drinking glass stuck in the side of my tire. I still can't figure out how that happened!
Steve and his cyclist. Steve, if you think that cyclist's behaviour is why cyclist should not be allowed on the road, keep in mind that every other clip in this video shows why cars should not be allowed on the road.
That was my thought as well. It is an example of how so many are biased against cyclists, not regarding them as equal road users.
@@grahvis Yup. There's equal amount of nitwit in a box on 4 wheels vs nitwit on 2 triangle and 2 wheels.

Watching videos such as this one suggests that equally applies to vehicle drivers, they are just as oblivious. Driving lessons don't appear to have much effect.

Absolutely agree. Idiots both ride bikes and drive cars. The cyclist usually ride more carefully because accidents are much more likely to be fatal but there are those cyclists out there that ride to the bar because they lost their license from DUI..

Steve in Wales needs to be more tolerant of bicycles on roads. In this case, the cyclist didn’t signal or check for traffic before changing lanes and making a turn - 100% at fault for poor maneuvering here. That said, bicycles are vehicles and they have every right to the road as a car (where there isn’t a designated bike lane/path). At least that’s how it is in the US, dunno about Wales.
That's how it's done in literally every single jurisdiction on the face of the earth. "Cyclists shouldn't be on roads" is a terminally carbrained take; what damage are cyclists capable of? It's like saying knives should be banned but guns should be legal
pick up my dads Tesla model y tomorrow, quite excited!

For Joe's video...the Mercedes is clearly at fault. While it is definitely common courtesy to let someone in, it's not required. The Toyota driver was a jerkass but didn't do anything illegal. If someone won't let you in, is it really worth it to destroy your car over it? Just slow down and get behind them. It's not worth it to provoke a confrontation over something like that.
That's exactly what I told my teenager (testing soon for his permit). Toyota was a jerk for not following the custom, but Mercedes was legally obligated to yield.

Red lights be like, 12:40

The accident is Amy’s fault. The law states that when a light turns yellow, stop if you can safely do so. Amy had PLENTY of time to stop. There’s a reason why they say you should stop at a yellow light if you can, at that was a perfect example of why.
Stop if you can is clearly the call of the driver. If your front wheels cross the stop line before the light turns red you have a right to continue through and clear the intersection. It was the turning driver's fault.

approved by congress.
Amy had like 5 full seconds to stop, hardly going too fast or too slippery... Like c'mon... She did not technically run a red light though, as she entered the intersection when the light was still yellow.. The other car was also technically in the intersection when the light was yellow.. So seeing that they both got blame makes sense. She should know better.. If the intersection was clear then its not as big of a deal but with people in the turning lane and the light turning yellow 5 seconds before you enter the intersection you should be stopping to let them turn...

@@Dark_side9999 They both take 50% fault for being in the intersection when it turned red..
@@xFourTwenty117 No, it is still yellow when she crosses the line. She has the right of way no matter what. She just needs a good lawyer, that is all
@@Dark_side9999 "Traffic laws can vary but usually oncoming traffic will have the right of way during a yellow light. A driver turning left on a yellow light has the legal responsibility to make sure they have the proper amount of time and space to safely execute a left-hand turn.

In this case they are both being negligent. She had PLENTY of time to stop. She entered the intersection 5 seconds after the light turned yellow. That evidence would definitely come in to play if they took this to court. the other driver also tried to save time and entered the intersection on yellow. They are both at fault bud.. No matter how she tries to spin it saying "it wasn't safe to stop because it was wet" well that logic played out pretty well. Most likely her just trying to justify going through the yellow light after the fact.
The cyclist was at fault for turning right giving no indication of changing direction. The car driver did everything right given the new changes in the rules here in the uk in regard to cyclists.

I'm from Romania and this is my first time seeing a video from Romania
#13: I hate when people try to be "polite" and yield their right-of-way.
DON'T DO THIS.
For the reason in the video, but also because it only makes traffic worse; people expect you to take the right-of-way, and being "nice" only confuses them - so they stop and wait to see what they should do. Also, if anything happens, your failure to yield the right-of-way puts you totally at fault.
This behavior is extremely common at 4-way stop signs. It seems like most people don't know how they work.
I heard one of the best pieces of advice about driving in traffic from a flight instructor: "Don't be polite. Be predictable."
(Some airplanes don't have radios, so the pilots need people to follow the rules, so they can know what to expect. Also, at an airport with a control tower, unusual maneuvers are distracting to air traffic controllers. Distractions are very very bad, in that job.)
Those 4-way stops are just bad, IMHO. I'm not sure, but I think most of the rest of the world puts stop signs only on intersections that are particularly accident-prone, and then only on two of the branches. All other intersections have no signs, which means the right-before-left rule applies. This means, everyone gives way to the person coming from the right, or to oncoming traffic if they're turning left themselves.
Unfortunatly, this can create a deadlock, e.g. car A wants to turn left, car B is oncoming, car C is coming from the left of car A. That means A has the RoW over C, C has the RoW over B, B has RoW over A. Everyone is waiting. The first one to wave the car he has the right of way over is the hero and resolves the situation.
The whole concept works rather well.
In US nobody would stop & cars would just impact. You need to have stop signs at intersections
5:22 that's not illegal left turn, you can turn left yielding to upcoming traffic. This is not the first time you are making this mistake in your videos
Yup. I know that area. The guy making the left was making a legal turn from a left turn lane.
first coment please heart wham bam tesla cam
We need stronger penalties for driving uninsured, being underinsured and not covering the damages you cause, and for failing to self-report damages you cause to parked/unattended cars.
4:31 that is actually considered a non contact hit and run, so yes it is still a hit and run and that car is liable for the accident
I doubt that's true everywhere.. putting on your turn signal, starting to leave your lane but never actually leaving it doesn't seem like causing an accident to me (they corrected on the line, didn't even look like it went over the line). Looks like a terrible overreaction by the driver in the middle lane. I can't imagine giving no fault for such a bad knee jerk reaction with the steering wheel lol.
@@1byrdman007 They aren’t 100% at fault, but if that car didn’t start changing lanes into the other car no accident would’ve happened. And in the US, which I believe which is where this took place, that is considered a non-contact hit and run and that car has to stop
@@shwn4922 I certainly agree that a non-contact hit and run is possible, but you would need a lawyer in this jurisdiction to determine the specifics (more than just US, state and local laws need considered.) Starting to change lanes is hardly a reason to swerve the way that car did, and I'm guessing a good lawyer would argue very little liability compared to the bad driving from the middle lane driver. If they had actually left their lane into the other person's lane I could see more liability, but driving on the line and then correcting doesn't seem like a huge infraction. The biggest infraction was probably leaving the scene, the scene of an overreacting bad driver lol.
I almost got rear-ended on the interstate, because driver was doing 80 and not paying attention
He swung his car just before impacting my car, and plowed into the center dividing fence. I almost stopped, but figured my car was no damaged, so why bother?
10:36 i have seen that on youtube before you even uploaded this video but the video discription was like the person in the model x tried to flirt with her when her boyfriend was next to her so i think thats fake
Amy just dont want to take responsibility, thats typical
Entirely possible that I did, but did I miss the video where they announced the hoodie winners for the monkey suit guy dad joke thing? Or was that forgotten somehow? Thanks! :)
Who else watched this live at like 6 am? Also now that I’ve seen this Channel and what Tesla autopilot has done to save people’s lives, yeah I’m getting a Tesla. Model x black is my favorite model. Reply with your favorite model and color
Black Model S Plaid!
@@WhamBaamTeslacam Nice choice!
@@WhamBaamTeslacam I want a Tesla Model X Plaid, blue exterior, cream interior, 20 inch wheels, with FSD. That's my favorite model
@@cooperlee-clay754 (See above) That's my favorite model. I prefer the Model X over the Model S because it's larger and the doors are a lot cooler.
@@BukuiZhao Same dude
13:56 lets just appreciate how much lane keep assist helped in that person in the dodge.
I doubt they were using lane keep assist
lol no, lane keep assist would have *prevented* them from dodging!
It's kinda in the name... 💁♂️
Also, the timestamp doesn't seem to make sense. Did you mean 5:20?
Even Amy was going front, she technically didn’t ran a red light because the light was yellow, but why did the cops said it was a red light, and also Amy could’ve avoided the car turning left or could’ve just stopped their
If you watch it again you will see that it turns red before she is through the intersection.
She easily could have stopped there too, given it was a brand new Tesla with brand new tires.
@@XDIRTYxDOGX I'm not interested in blame, I'm interested in avoiding accidents. In that situation I would've just stopped and then I wouldn't be totaling my car (which is a serious pain in the ass even when there aren't shortages).
She was lucky that the yellow was so incredibly long. No way it was good judgment on her part to test that yellow---she had amble room to gradually brake and stop. She had more than enough distance to stop. 50/50 sounds fair, given it was just a roll of the dice that barely got the nose of her car past the line before it turned red.
@@ischmidt Not interested in blame????? You said that, "Amy could’ve avoided the car turning." isnt that placing blame? lol... The car that turned did not have the right a way and is still at fault... Call an attorney or police officer and they will tell you the same. Blame would be placed on the turning driver.
On video number one while she should’ve stopped she did not run the red light as her first axle was over the white line before it turned re
Amy is average women driver saying she’s “cursed” 😂
0:59 wtf police department, she already crossed the stop line before the light turned red, so she should be fine...
5:56 the cyclist of course. He didnt even indicate that he wants to turn
The vauxhall should be paitent enough to wait just incase the cyclist turned and then went round when there was no turn lane
DJJumpdancer correct there is something called hand signals or a light attachment that you can use
-the only hand signals that everybody should know are
(left arm level with shoulder)
1. STOPing - arm at 90 degrees down fingers together pointing at ground
2. LEFT TURN - arm pointing left fingers together
3. RIGHT TURN - arm at 90 degrees up fingers together pointing at sky
you are required to know these to get your license here in MI
and yes you can use these if your rear lights go out in your car
Well both. With the markings on the road the car wasn’t allowed to do the overpassing anyway.
