I’ve found expecting other drivers to do the stupidest thing possible and giving them extra space has always worked a treat at keeping me out of trouble.
Reading the road well ahead and reducing speed if something looks amiss has always worked for me. Some of these were obvious to spot and could have been avoided.
I am absolutely baffled by the amount of people who choose to refuse to brake and end up contributing to a collision, rather than just being the bigger person and easing off the accelerator
I don’t think the fact that these are almost always a fisheye lens helps at all. It makes things look a lot further away than they are. The braking distances in many of these look a lot longer than they actually are. Although one or two could brake sooner.

watching this makes it extremely clear why my driving instructor used to constantly go on about being ready to slow down for people pulling out of side roads. So many of these incidents could have been avoided if the dash cam drivers had been paying full attention to their surroundings
ALL of those incidents would have been avoided if the drivers pulling out of side roads had opened their eyes. In many of those cases you are doing nothing more than blaming the victim. Yes, we are all duty (and legally) bound to avoid an accident if possible, and that includes driving with due care and attention ("hazard perception"). But when another driver does something so unutterably stupid as to be utterly unpredictable, then there's only one person to blame, and it's not the dash cam driver
@@DraftySatyr Im not saying its not the responsibility of the person pulling out. But accelerating at a hazard and beeping your horn instead of braking makes you no better of a driver than the person who caused the accident in the first place.

6:30 "Was that my fault?" - This is exactly why you shouldn't just let people out when you have priority and there is clearly space for you to move ahead. The Audi should have just waited until Joel gave up trying to let them out.
Totally agree with it being her fault. From her side of things I bet she was expecting the audi to just take off down the road rather than cut across it. Also sounds like she knew the person so wanted to let them out. Still partly their fault though!
Almost had the same thing happen to me a while back, coming down a long straight 60mph road, someone turning left from a junction on my left, was probably around 15 seconds off her, plenty of time for her to pull out, and the road ahead of me was clear and she started creeping. About 10 seconds off I flashed her out and started slowing down as she was already part way out of the junction, she continued creeping but was now half way out the junction and blocking my lane. 5 seconds away I start really slowing down and flash her again. She just stops dead in her tracks, next thing you know I've had to slam the breaks on and nearly end up with someone in the back of me, luckily they swerved around me and managed to avoid oncoming traffic. Learned my lesson never to let anyone out.
In all honesty, in that situation you don’t attempt that manoeuvre. Go in the forward direction and then turn around wherever safest. Hindsight and all that!

6:39 That is most definitely "your fault". Never stop to let someone out on a main road. You obstruct traffic flow and create a hazard, you obscure the view of the person you think you're helping, and you put them under pressure to go even though they are not sure if the road is clear - because you're obscuring their view. It was something both my father and my driving instructor drilled into me a long, long time ago: don't ever make decisions for other drivers - because this will happen.
Your last sentence is total correct, and I completely agree. But, The cam driver isn't making the decisions, using the throttle, or anything of the sort for the driver involved in the accident. The operator of the vehicle is to blame here, the cam car only made the other vehicles situation much more difficult by as you said, obscuring her view and also applying pressure to rush the other driver. On a side note, the other vehicle shouldn't be trying to make a U-turn there too. Not only would a driving instructor give you a bollocking for that, and doing so across 3 lanes, but to add to it that she could barely see anything to make the maneuver even remotely safe....
Not only that you encourage people to do stupid things. Rights of way are designed for a reason, deviate from them or encourage others to do so and accident will happen.
These days there seems to be more of an emphasis on "speeding", rather than "inappropriate speed". Many people get into the mindset of "I'm within the speed limit so that's fine" despite not being.
I made the same right-turn there a few weeks ago - the fact remains the silver car should never have made that blind turn, just like there should never be a blind turn out of a junction (as an example). It's Station Road Swinton
It always confounds me how drivers, look, pause, look then drive straight into you - what compels them to do that?! So many of these prangs should never have happened. Keep safe out there!
From the perspective of an insurance company it'll be the Audi because it drove into the rear of the BMW - although realistically its nonsense, in theory the Audi should have given enough space to brake in time, or avoid the obstruction in the road
I swear to god 98% of these are avoidable, stevie wonder would get out of half of them. It staggers me peoples lack of perception. If only horns were linked to brakes!
Don’t get me started on shit like 4:10 where the guy tries to PIT manoeuvre the van… absolutely ridiculous. I hope the van driver’s insurance got hold of this and refused to pay 100% liability for that.
Some bloke T-boned me on a mini roundabout, my other half went fucking skitz but he was honestly the nicest bloke ever. Rang his insurance up straight away and told them it was his fault. Not all bad people but just the odd few who don't have a clue how to drive and claim it's your fault
I once had someone crash into me at a roundabout. After about 5 seconds of arguing I could tell she didn't know the rules of the road so I shut up and let her think she was right. We exchanged details and I assume she told the insurers the same she told me as a few weeks later I was found not at fault.
11:03 I know it's been said before, but this is as much a case of ramming from Lee the driver as it is for the Jag entering the roundabout. Totally avoidable from Lee but you rammed him to make a point, what an arse.
yes I was thinking that too. He's only doing 20 surely he could have stopped. Same with the other drivers. They're tooting their horn and then crash. Sorry if you can toot your horn you could have stopped instead
I was thinking the same thing. Luckily I've never had a serious accident but on a couple of occasion I came close the last thing I had time to do was hit the horn.
I can’t be the only one that tried to move out of the way whilst watching that. It would have been damned scary to see that truck coming at you at that speed.
@6:25 Yes, you are partially to blame, you pressured her to move when she couldn't see because you were in the way. I would have wound the window down and told you to get out of the way.
they should play these on the theory tests, they’re a great learning tool for what to look out for and how ineffective of a substitute the horn is over the middle pedal for avoiding trouble
28:31 is a perfect example of just hanging back, being patient. Even without the car the idiot biker crashes into, the cyclists and white car should be enough for caution. Coming from a biker myself.
As the bike crashes you see an L plate. Clearly a learner who hasn't learnt the rules of the road yet. Do bikers not need to pass a theory test before they ride? Because in a car, a learner driver has to have a fully licensed driver with them but obviously you cant do that with a bike. So what? They just let yobbos out to do whatever they want?

@@Phil-1 Brilliant climbing ability of the Landrover up the Yaris wheel surround - just a shame gravity stuck its oar in, 21 Reg as well. Good lesson for large SUV owners - your centre of gravity is a couple of feet higher!
This video is a great example of why I don't even like to be a passenger when there's snow and ice on the road. No point driving in those conditions unless it's absolutely necessary. You can drive perfectly and still come undone because some random person doesn't understand how ice works
Even over here in the south of Norway a lot of people forget how to drive in winter after 8 months of no snow or ice. Always chaos the first couple of days.
4:46 - Normally if you use your brakes it slows you down so you don't hit other cars. The horn doesn't and accelerator pedals don't tend to be any help.
Thinking the same myself, on the rare occasions where I’ve had a close call the last thing I can think of doing is blasting the horn, all attention on whatever evasive manoeuvres might be needed
4:40 Who's fault as it? She was too busy speeding to use the breaks, but old fella could have stayed in the second lane and still made the turn. I'm leaning towards 50/50
The snow clip at 10:54 reminds me of when I was driving too fast in conditions similar to that and nearly rear ending the car in front. The driver of the car in front saved me by noticing my stupidity from a mile off and accelerating out of the way.
You could could see that cars brake lights from a mile off and the cammer didn't slow down at all. Did he not know that it takes a lot longer to stop in icy conditions.
@@BBrownyy The cars ahead of the Fiesta were braking. Admittedly the gap looked pretty darned conservative... but, well, we see what an optimistic gap and late braking gets you... Also ABS brakes may have made them realise they have even less traction than they thought, prompting them to slow down even more.
Brilliant collection! All good collisions and thank you for sharing. (I’ve started to allow far more space between cars since watching these and hope the other subs do too! 👍
29:50 poor judgement by the lorry driver as well identified the danger then didn't create the space in front and purposely closed the gap and hit the car!
Right, the overtake was risky but the crash was avoided and there was space to slow down easily for a lorry. The lorry driver here actually ended up CAUSING the crash to make a point. Absolutely pointless.
17:44 so many accidents like this on the road i can never understand what someone like the land rovers thought process is. Do they just think the car on the right will disappear?
I like this type of comments. Means you have absolutely no idea what are you talking about. Dash cam lenses are so called 'wide angle' lenses to cover much larger area than a normal one. What it means on a video - you think objects there are much further away from the vehicle fitted with a camera. Ergo - driver has much less time to react that you think (if you think at all). Blabbing, that these were avoidable is a complete nonsense. I would agree that some percent of these WERE avoidable but 5% to 10% at the most.
@@novtalath I like these kind of comments - because it shows you've no idea what you're talking about, and you completely miss the point. Moving your foot to the brake is faster than pressing your horn, the other driver looking around, realising it was them you were beeping at, and then if you caught them on a good day, working out they're going to brake. If one is pressing the horn before ones foot is on the break, then defensive driving skills need to be improved. While doing that - in many cases, one might also be more aware when approaching a hazard, and already be slowing down; rather than just gunning it because right of way is had. Breaking then honking reduces the chance of the crash, and at worst, makes the impact less. Exceptions are obviously when NOT so close to the other driver, that they have a chance to react. For example - 24:56 - the break is applied, then the horn. There's no point at all using the horn, because after slamming into the side of the car, one can be pretty sure they're aware that they're aware they've been hit; and they're not notifying anyone of anything other than their anger.
In caskerbang's defence he said 'how many' of them (not every single one). There were clear and obvious situations where the driver, though not initially at fault, ends up causing an accident when it likely could've been avoided. Some could well be due to the optical illusion you mention caused by the wide-angle lens (they were much closer in reality, I get that) but I could point to a fair few where it looked like the driver getting punked then hit the punker on purpose to prove his / her / their point. Granted we're ready and waiting for an accident when watching these, so are on full alert so it's much easier for us, 'in hindsight' so to speak, to judge who's at fault but if nothing else it proves we must be on high alert at all times - never take your attention away for a split second. Easier said than done but a good lesson.
@@UKMonkey You have read the comment... and understood absolutely nothing. Well done. Now go back and read AGAIN and this time spend some time THINKING of what have you just read. Then you MIGHT come to a conclusion that what I have wrote actually makes sense. If you still missing the point - then so be it. Not everyone has more brain cells than average person. I do have a dash cam. You do not see me posting vids because I have some dignity left in me. I do agree that pressing break is faster than using horn yet still some people need that horn otherwise they will continue moving in and definitely cause an incident. You have picked one situation in that vid but miss the bigger picture. As for use of the horn - if some dickhead drives straight in front of you and you have to break and let's say you do use horn - I am sure they don't need to look around on who is using it as they are aware that they are a twat that just not gave way to another vehicle. I would not be surprised if you were one of those that silently use the horn on every possible occasion just not admit to it. And if you will come up with some rubbish about being an advanced driver - spare it.
Amazed by the submissions from the folks driving too close and then causing a collision when the car in front slows down. You know that’s your fault right?
I actually felt quite bad for the guy in the Civic. It’s like he was reevaluating all his life choices up to that point. Also kudos to all the people who rushed over to help in these clips. Too often people just drive passed.
I'm always shocked with those kinds of clips at the amount of people that are in close proximity (up to 5 or 6 cars back) to major and possibly fatal accidents, especially the ones on things like dual carriageways and motorways, that just slow down a bit to have a good look and drive on past. The BARE minimum that they could do is put their hazards on as they drive past to warn drivers behind them that there's a hazard up ahead! I honestly don't know how they can simply drive past. Even if I wasn't involved but I saw an accident happen in front of me, I'd pull over (somewhere safe if possible) without a second thought and see if there was anything I could do to help. Even if that's just giving any non-injured passengers from the vehicles involved somewhere warm and safe to sit in my car whilst they wait for the emergency services/ recovery. I like to think that the majority of us would hopefully do the same and not just think "meh, someone else will make sure everyone is okay and call the emergency services if necessary".
16:52 is the best, the camera car driver is looking right and can see that the junction is clear, it is a give way and not a stop. The person in the mini has stopped dead for some inexplicable reason, but the insurance finding that follows the rear end collison is that the mini driver was 100% in the right to stop albeit unnecessarily and is allowed to partake in car driving again because she/they/them holds a valid licence to drive a car.
Lots of lots of folk need to make their new year's resolution to be BETTER people on the roads. But it's hard for a lot of folk to have that level of self-reflection, especially as they are all the best drivers ever.
Commenter at the 15:00 mark talks about the truck driver being an idiot, right before you hear the playback that I can only assume is him reviewing his soon to be Snapchat post…
18:10 What kind of idiot goes this fast round a country road? It’s astonishing to think these types of people are on our roads. In what universe is it ok to be going that fast; there’s just NO NEED.
That road is a 60, it only looks like he was going 45-50. The problem is his perception was terrible. There was enough room for both cars to pass but he went onto the grass while turning and lost traction
... jeepers creepers!.. 😳 the UK car crashes are now almost as severe as those seen in the US... 🤕 (I think now's the time to make it mandatory, that ALL road going vehicles in the UK have front and rear facing dash cams as standard equipment)... excellent compilation dude!.. subbed 👍
He was watching the hazard the entire time he was on the roundabout - as a biker, I ride like I haven't been seen and would have just let the van go and kept my bike upright!
yeah that was EPIC. What make/model of car was that? Feel sorry for the following driver getting the debris chucked at him. One of the trashed vehicles wheels whacks the side of their car too.
It's scary really, the amount of 'drivers' that seem to have no concept of a) the size of their vehicle, b) spatial awareness and c) self awareness. I think the UK has finally surpassed Russia in the complete and utter numpties on the roads stakes.

I am always very cautious passing a line of stopped cars. You just have to expect someone to switch lanes or allow a cut through.
These days there seems to be more of an emphasis on "speeding", rather than "inappropriate speed". Many people get into the mindset of "I'm within the speed limit so that's fine" despite not being.
I made the same right-turn there a few weeks ago - the fact remains the silver car should never have made that blind turn, just like there should never be a blind turn out of a junction (as an example).
It's Station Road Swinton

Amazes me how many crashes in this video could have been avoided. Having a dash cam doesn’t make you invincible.
istg breaks dont exist
How many of these qualify as a driver blacking out suddenly?
Dashcams dont give you right of way either 😂
It always confounds me how drivers, look, pause, look then drive straight into you - what compels them to do that?! So many of these prangs should never have happened. Keep safe out there!
Can everyone stop crashing into Darren's mini please
HELPPP
3:25 How is that the Audi`s fault?? Why did the BMW stop in the middle of the roundabout?
Exactly my thinking
From the perspective of an insurance company it'll be the Audi because it drove into the rear of the BMW - although realistically its nonsense, in theory the Audi should have given enough space to brake in time, or avoid the obstruction in the road
he just jammed on his brakes for no reason. crash for cash maybe....
Seems to me that the audi emerged too quickly which would've prompted the braking of the BMW
Interesting that the BMW has also stopped in a Keep Clear area.
2:40 that mini has had a hard life. Also fair play to mark at 30:12 for staying calm and collective and dealing with the situation well.
Darren get rid of the mini, definitely an unconscious target
Was it the same Mini? That's really bad luck if was.
@@heene Same plate
I think Mark could have avoided the collision.
@@jeremypnet Yes. If he stayed at home those days, he could have avoided the collisions maybe.
13:13 and this just shows why you should clear your roof of snow, not just the windscreens - any little bump can blind you!!
Or fly off and hit someone's else's car. See it too often
8:01 "oh his wheels just fallen off" so calm 🤣
15:07 The irony of calling the lorry driver an idiot whilst pulling out onto a roundabout. Good work Marucs
I swear to god 98% of these are avoidable, stevie wonder would get out of half of them. It staggers me peoples lack of perception. If only horns were linked to brakes!
I agree, its almost as if people want to accidently get into a collision on purpose just to prove their point or get a new car on the insurance!
what are you on about? the crash at 6:16 was completely unavoidable
@@xeuxis8892 Completely unavoidable when you're a narcoleptic 🤣
Don’t get me started on shit like 4:10 where the guy tries to PIT manoeuvre the van… absolutely ridiculous. I hope the van driver’s insurance got hold of this and refused to pay 100% liability for that.
They did link em together in Top Gear once that was funny
I wish we could see/hear the conversations people have after crashes, I can only imagine the arguments!
Some bloke T-boned me on a mini roundabout, my other half went fucking skitz but he was honestly the nicest bloke ever. Rang his insurance up straight away and told them it was his fault. Not all bad people but just the odd few who don't have a clue how to drive and claim it's your fault
I'm surprised there aren't fights or someone drawing a gun
I once had someone crash into me at a roundabout. After about 5 seconds of arguing I could tell she didn't know the rules of the road so I shut up and let her think she was right. We exchanged details and I assume she told the insurers the same she told me as a few weeks later I was found not at fault.
11:03 I know it's been said before, but this is as much a case of ramming from Lee the driver as it is for the Jag entering the roundabout. Totally avoidable from Lee but you rammed him to make a point, what an arse.
yes I was thinking that too. He's only doing 20 surely he could have stopped. Same with the other drivers. They're tooting their horn and then crash. Sorry if you can toot your horn you could have stopped instead
My thoughts exactly, actually looked like he sped up toward it
This. So very. Intentional, perhaps?
And the last one too! The truck basically rammed the red Civic
@@esuohdica Good.
I like it how they press the horn twice as fast as they hit the brakes.
I was thinking the same thing. Luckily I've never had a serious accident but on a couple of occasion I came close the last thing I had time to do was hit the horn.
Darren crashed his vintage mini twice?! This just shows how often crashes can happen and how careless people are
hes lucky they werent fast crashes or he would be crushed inside the toaster
No, Darren didn't crash - people crashed into him!
Shows how crap minis are too. Cant see an RC car coming
@@redstihl9027 Most cars don't have the visibility to see an RC car on the floor in front of them.
@@redstihl9027 Don’t worry, mate, I got your joke
Three really terrifying ones in a row starting at 5:16. Imagine that happening to you.
I can’t be the only one that tried to move out of the way whilst watching that. It would have been damned scary to see that truck coming at you at that speed.
Yeah 5:16 is awful to watch.
I have a classic car & I just know that if that happened to me in that car, I'd be crippled or dead.
5 vehicle multi crash. I don't believe that. He was probably guilty for this (it might have been 4 vehicles)
And both grey van and the truck I think is at fault
It’s the dez clip after that sh*t me up 😬
22:08 Video hazard awareness test classic! Who else saw the white car and would have eased up? lol
Yes sir, you could see that coming for 100 yards.
Even Stevie Wonder saw that one coming.
I don't even have a license yet and I saw that one coming
@6:25 Yes, you are partially to blame, you pressured her to move when she couldn't see because you were in the way. I would have wound the window down and told you to get out of the way.
30:42 I like how it's so calm and that guy's face of instant regret
What happens with all of the driving lesson knowledge with some people? if he had any and what sort of driving lesson and teacher.
they should play these on the theory tests, they’re a great learning tool for what to look out for and how ineffective of a substitute the horn is over the middle pedal for avoiding trouble
Pretty sure that’s what the hazard perception part is far
@@crusade444 clearly doesn’t go far enough though, seeing the consequences of not reacting to a hazard might
@@crusade444 the hazard perception is shite
Play these before you get the provisional handed to you, like the in-flight safety videos!
This is better than the CGI ones they actually do on the theory tests cause people are genuinely this stupid on the roads
Love how Harvey's video 3:46 has subtitles in the corner...
28:31 is a perfect example of just hanging back, being patient. Even without the car the idiot biker crashes into, the cyclists and white car should be enough for caution. Coming from a biker myself.
well yes but the car shouldn't have pulled out, biker had right of way but yeah it was for sure preventable if the biker had read the situation
@@greenpick-uptruck8808 The biker was an idiot, he does a close pass on the cyclists as he is impatient. This added to the crash.
As the bike crashes you see an L plate. Clearly a learner who hasn't learnt the rules of the road yet. Do bikers not need to pass a theory test before they ride? Because in a car, a learner driver has to have a fully licensed driver with them but obviously you cant do that with a bike. So what? They just let yobbos out to do whatever they want?
@@CMS-qo3wz yeah,basically that's what happens, I personally see anyone on 2 wheels as a legitimate target!
He passed way too close to them cyclists so instant karma lol
12:25 Now that must've been an interesting one for the insurers to deal with
2:09 the fact I go round here every day hahaha
Clip of the year has to go to Taxi Dashcamera @ 21:06
That clip never gets old. Nothing funnier than watching a chav with no helmet and a non road legal dirtbike getting smashed into next week🤣🤣
Poor chap will most probably have to claim on his own insurance tho 😡
Its a bit sad that you find humor in others misfortune and demise - all the best though :)
@@mrstar666 Yeah that is a shame. But worth it I reckon.
@@jimcena5793 So you have sympathy for scumbags that ruin other people's lives?
The scum that ride around on these bikes are uninsured, reckless, dangerous. Most of them are committing other types of crime, usually drugs and theft of other people's property.
They offer absolutely nothing but misery to society.
Like the comment above, the taxi guy who he rode into will have to pay for his own car, because sure as shit the chav on the bike won't.
Was about to post the same - that clip is comedy gold. If you pause it just right you can see the gormless look on his face as he whizzes past the camera.
29:07 Crash of the year has to go to range rover vs yaris. Who would of thought a little yaris could brush off a bigger vehicle
Remarkable. The Yaris looks unmarked. LOL.
@@Phil-1 Brilliant climbing ability of the Landrover up the Yaris wheel surround - just a shame gravity stuck its oar in, 21 Reg as well. Good lesson for large SUV owners - your centre of gravity is a couple of feet higher!
Coz it’s a GR 😏 (the car also in my profile picture)
This video is a great example of why I don't even like to be a passenger when there's snow and ice on the road. No point driving in those conditions unless it's absolutely necessary. You can drive perfectly and still come undone because some random person doesn't understand how ice works
Even over here in the south of Norway a lot of people forget how to drive in winter after 8 months of no snow or ice. Always chaos the first couple of days.
Big props to people like Harvey who not only recognise that they did something stupid, but publish it for others to learn from 3:50
Dashcam generation are those that believe you don't have to look out for potential hazards because the camera will save you
So, basically they believe in magic?
4:46 - Normally if you use your brakes it slows you down so you don't hit other cars. The horn doesn't and accelerator pedals don't tend to be any help.
Thinking the same myself, on the rare occasions where I’ve had a close call the last thing I can think of doing is blasting the horn, all attention on whatever evasive manoeuvres might be needed
4:40 Who's fault as it? She was too busy speeding to use the breaks, but old fella could have stayed in the second lane and still made the turn. I'm leaning towards 50/50
@@RaphaelDawkinsCombatRadio25/75 at most
The snow clip at 10:54 reminds me of when I was driving too fast in conditions similar to that and nearly rear ending the car in front. The driver of the car in front saved me by noticing my stupidity from a mile off and accelerating out of the way.
You could could see that cars brake lights from a mile off and the cammer didn't slow down at all. Did he not know that it takes a lot longer to stop in icy conditions.
@@Tanson11 Yeah not sure what the cammer was doing but what on earth was the Fiesta even stopping for? Stupidity on both parts
@@BBrownyy The cars ahead of the Fiesta were braking. Admittedly the gap looked pretty darned conservative... but, well, we see what an optimistic gap and late braking gets you...
Also ABS brakes may have made them realise they have even less traction than they thought, prompting them to slow down even more.
also, winter tires? I have a feeling he didn't have them.
Imagine doing 25 in a 30 zone in those conditions. The fact he couldn't stop in time tells you he didnt read the conditions well enough
6:48 couldnt stop laughing at the copper putting his hat down. "Really can't deal with this" haha
Bet it was near the end of his shift.
Brilliant collection! All good collisions and thank you for sharing. (I’ve started to allow far more space between cars since watching these and hope the other subs do too! 👍
0:49 prof got lucky
And Darren is very unlucky 😂2:40
Favourite clip of the year 26:09
That Toyota GR Yaris at 29:14 is one tough little car!
A more gripping 30 mins than you'd find in most action films
Sometimes I wonder if these drivers ever actually passed a test - the degree of incompetence is astounding
21:20 seemed more worried about the bike than his friend
Chavs gonna chav.
The way I saw it, he was moving it to prevent more issues
I remember 0:40 had me rewatching it.. It's scary how fast the BMW came to a stop
lethal - energy has to go somewhere
28:48 I think that car must have got confused when they saw the sign in the shop window saying “parking in the rear” 🤷♂️😂
2:50 wow that mini's really been through the wars..
29:50 poor judgement by the lorry driver as well identified the danger then didn't create the space in front and purposely closed the gap and hit the car!
Right, the overtake was risky but the crash was avoided and there was space to slow down easily for a lorry.
The lorry driver here actually ended up CAUSING the crash to make a point.
Absolutely pointless.
Where do these drivers get their licenses from? The travelling bumper car rides? Looks like that's the way they drive.
17:44 so many accidents like this on the road i can never understand what someone like the land rovers thought process is. Do they just think the car on the right will disappear?
Perhaps they do
I dont know why people go straight through roundabouts like that. You have all that room on the left, but you decide to go straight
I think people like this don't even care to check if there is a car on their right at all.
Its amazing how many of these accidents could have been avoided if the cammer was as quick on the breaks as they are on the horn 😂
That's for sure
I like this type of comments. Means you have absolutely no idea what are you talking about. Dash cam lenses are so called 'wide angle' lenses to cover much larger area than a normal one. What it means on a video - you think objects there are much further away from the vehicle fitted with a camera. Ergo - driver has much less time to react that you think (if you think at all). Blabbing, that these were avoidable is a complete nonsense. I would agree that some percent of these WERE avoidable but 5% to 10% at the most.
@@novtalath I like these kind of comments - because it shows you've no idea what you're talking about, and you completely miss the point. Moving your foot to the brake is faster than pressing your horn, the other driver looking around, realising it was them you were beeping at, and then if you caught them on a good day, working out they're going to brake. If one is pressing the horn before ones foot is on the break, then defensive driving skills need to be improved. While doing that - in many cases, one might also be more aware when approaching a hazard, and already be slowing down; rather than just gunning it because right of way is had. Breaking then honking reduces the chance of the crash, and at worst, makes the impact less. Exceptions are obviously when NOT so close to the other driver, that they have a chance to react.
For example - 24:56 - the break is applied, then the horn. There's no point at all using the horn, because after slamming into the side of the car, one can be pretty sure they're aware that they're aware they've been hit; and they're not notifying anyone of anything other than their anger.
In caskerbang's defence he said 'how many' of them (not every single one). There were clear and obvious situations where the driver, though not initially at fault, ends up causing an accident when it likely could've been avoided. Some could well be due to the optical illusion you mention caused by the wide-angle lens (they were much closer in reality, I get that) but I could point to a fair few where it looked like the driver getting punked then hit the punker on purpose to prove his / her / their point. Granted we're ready and waiting for an accident when watching these, so are on full alert so it's much easier for us, 'in hindsight' so to speak, to judge who's at fault but if nothing else it proves we must be on high alert at all times - never take your attention away for a split second. Easier said than done but a good lesson.
@@UKMonkey You have read the comment... and understood absolutely nothing. Well done.
Now go back and read AGAIN and this time spend some time THINKING of what have you just read. Then you MIGHT come to a conclusion that what I have wrote actually makes sense. If you still missing the point - then so be it. Not everyone has more brain cells than average person.
I do have a dash cam. You do not see me posting vids because I have some dignity left in me. I do agree that pressing break is faster than using horn yet still some people need that horn otherwise they will continue moving in and definitely cause an incident. You have picked one situation in that vid but miss the bigger picture. As for use of the horn - if some dickhead drives straight in front of you and you have to break and let's say you do use horn - I am sure they don't need to look around on who is using it as they are aware that they are a twat that just not gave way to another vehicle. I would not be surprised if you were one of those that silently use the horn on every possible occasion just not admit to it.
And if you will come up with some rubbish about being an advanced driver - spare it.
Amazed by the submissions from the folks driving too close and then causing a collision when the car in front slows down. You know that’s your fault right?
This, only a fool breaks the two second rule
10:47 gancalo can see he is catching up to the car ahead so he carries on at the same speed and crashes. Well done brainiac
I think he was maybe already braking long ago just sliding, bit of a slope there
@@davidpacker7602 even taking your foot off the accelerator would create more speed reduction
Fantastic amounts of work put into this vid. Excellent.

Excellent editing!
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱.
I appreciate you churning these vids out, really looking forward to Friday's ep if it's still going ahead 😂🍿
1:01 If he used the time he spent honking the horn to apply the brakes, he would have avoided the accident
He shouldn't have had to anyway.
Taught that van moron a lesson
He got it on GoPro, mate.
21:06 absolute fantastic! serves them right, hope they learnt the lesson
They're likely in jail now.
1:57 Nice mirror check and timely indicating plus cruising after impact to minimise the obstruction of the public highway.
I actually felt quite bad for the guy in the Civic. It’s like he was reevaluating all his life choices up to that point.
Also kudos to all the people who rushed over to help in these clips. Too often people just drive passed.
He sounded so relaxed about it all.
I'm always shocked with those kinds of clips at the amount of people that are in close proximity (up to 5 or 6 cars back) to major and possibly fatal accidents, especially the ones on things like dual carriageways and motorways, that just slow down a bit to have a good look and drive on past. The BARE minimum that they could do is put their hazards on as they drive past to warn drivers behind them that there's a hazard up ahead! I honestly don't know how they can simply drive past. Even if I wasn't involved but I saw an accident happen in front of me, I'd pull over (somewhere safe if possible) without a second thought and see if there was anything I could do to help. Even if that's just giving any non-injured passengers from the vehicles involved somewhere warm and safe to sit in my car whilst they wait for the emergency services/ recovery.
I like to think that the majority of us would hopefully do the same and not just think "meh, someone else will make sure everyone is okay and call the emergency services if necessary".

Jay (?) looks like a 40 year old trying to look 18. In fairness, he does drive like an 18 y/o. What a muppet!
He's a manchild. Dressed like a toddler ffs.
Darren's Mini got in two fights, and it was still less damaged than the modern cars👍
Crumple zones weren't a thing when the Mini was being designed..
More than half of these are genuine 'what the fuck was that idiot doing' accidents...
16:52 is the best, the camera car driver is looking right and can see that the junction is clear, it is a give way and not a stop. The person in the mini has stopped dead for some inexplicable reason, but the insurance finding that follows the rear end collison is that the mini driver was 100% in the right to stop albeit unnecessarily and is allowed to partake in car driving again because she/they/them holds a valid licence to drive a car.
4:21 "Look at this dickhead, look at this dickhead" BOOM, front flip over the handlebars had me rolling.😂😂
Lots of lots of folk need to make their new year's resolution to be BETTER people on the roads. But it's hard for a lot of folk to have that level of self-reflection, especially as they are all the best drivers ever.
You can remove "on the roads" and "drivers" and your statement will be even more accurate.
Commenter at the 15:00 mark talks about the truck driver being an idiot, right before you hear the playback that I can only assume is him reviewing his soon to be Snapchat post…
Brilliant compilation of crashes. Well done UK Dash Cameras!!!
0:09 Did Mymo used to be Stan Laurel?
Good to hear from a other channel that everyone is alive
How Matt S doesn't shout out "oi oi wanker, you can't park there" is beyond me after the lack of lane discipline and speed that prick was going.
I bet that cyclist had a good laugh as he came past.
11:14 I've seen trailers come off the back of trucks before, but I've never seen one break in half before! Very unusual!
I think when the airline breaks the truck automatically goes onto full braking which is a good reason not to follow too close.
18:10 What kind of idiot goes this fast round a country road? It’s astonishing to think these types of people are on our roads. In what universe is it ok to be going that fast; there’s just NO NEED.
Literally what I was thinking! I know some country roads are 60 but that doesn't mean you actually have to go 60 D :
That road is a 60, it only looks like he was going 45-50. The problem is his perception was terrible. There was enough room for both cars to pass but he went onto the grass while turning and lost traction

@@CDB8939 Of course, but he looked to be driving well below the limit. The issue was his driving abilities.

He was watching the hazard the entire time he was on the roundabout - as a biker, I ride like I haven't been seen and would have just let the van go and kept my bike upright!
Agreed, like the van was in the wrong to pull out then but he could’ve avoided it by just continuing to drive instead of staring at the dude
@@55dgirl551 I mean van crosses the give way line he cant stop and Jack could of avoided it and in court it would be 50/50 most likely

@@BiggerBadderBrian the one that crashed was a Range Rover evoque.
It's scary really, the amount of 'drivers' that seem to have no concept of a) the size of their vehicle, b) spatial awareness and c) self awareness. I think the UK has finally surpassed Russia in the complete and utter numpties on the roads stakes.
