The amount of OK's coming from her makes me think he's VERY arachnophobic. Translation "It's only a spider, lets not crash the car for a spider please". She did very well at just calming and giving direct instructions so there was no rash decisions by the driver.
@@bradfox3427 , lol they say it's not the big visible ones that gecha, it's the small ones you don't see! It's crazy that there is a video of one with it's "babies" running about on the dashboard of a car. Idk why AU has many large scary things but in the States, I remember as a kid working in horticulture and you had to "weed" thousands of container plants. The worst fears were the black widow. And what's messed up is you'd frequently find them on/around the containers. Many times the containers even had spider-like spirals of plastic from the mold still clinging to the drain holes. That'd freak people out because you weren't sure for a second if you just grabbed at that or a black widow. Spider bites weren't as common as one might think tho. One girl was bitten by a copperhead in the field. And most of us had been "popped" by venomous caterpillars, especially those which change color to whatever plant they're on and then there are the "saddlebags". x_x
Ambulance drivers are held responsible for all driving mistakes and collisions even those that would not be their fault normally speaking. So, the ambulance had a choice to go left and undertake....but had the cammer or any other road user behind hit the ambulance....ambulance driver at would be held to be at fault...at least by their (usually) piss weak management. The ambulance theoretically has the right of way and normal people get out of it's way... So the ambulance driver stuck to his right of way right until he realised the driver in front of him was an fwit and was parked there for the night. Then the ambulance driver took a chance and moved over to go around....note that the driver in the lane to the left of the DC was still moving forward and might have been stupid enough to switch lanes into the DC lane...and have collided with the ambulance... Ambulanes should have massive push bars mounted on their fronts....
@@BadDriversOz - Dealing with a creeping crawly like a huntsman is deemed a reasonable reason for stopping in a No Standing zone. While a huntsman isnt poisonous, it can still give a nasty bite.
@@Ryanthusar Very few spiders (and only one species of snake) are actually poisonous. There are many venemous snakes though, and every single spider species, including the huntsman, is venemous. For the most part though, their venom doesn't do much to humans except hurt.
That's why a line of badabadabas is much better - at least there's some chance the noise from driving over them will make people realise that they're supposed to keep clear of traffic islands.
@@Earthneedsado-over177 A badabadaba is one of those yellow-coloured hard rubber things that look like a rubber strip sticking up from the road surface by about 30cm. The name comes from the noise they make when you drive over them.
I would argue, ‘wrong place’ is a better theme as there were plenty of drivers on the wrong side of the road and in places they are not meant to be, like traffic islands.

Seriously, having watched videos on this channel over the last few years, whenever I'm driving nowadays I'm always looking at what cars might be doing on the same bit of road I'm on, and at intersections, etc, wondering if this is going to be a DCOA-esque moment when someone tries merging into me or crossing the intersection just as I get to it, etc.
@@vk2ig , my first time seeing this channel. It was "nice" to see that there are idiots on the road there just like there are here in the States! The guys at around 7:54-8:14 seemed very "American" with the words they chose to express! Overall some crazy near misses and unbelievable driving, the driver crossing the median ramming right into an oncoming vehicle, the near night time head-on collision & the driver of the small car stopping right in front of the ambulance on a 3-lane street... Where I live you have to move out of the way if at all possible not only for an oncoming emergency vehicle but if they're parked off the side of the road with lights flashing, you MUST move over otherwise slow down as much as possible when passing by if other traffic is blocking. Otherwise it's a fine of $500-$1,000 and if injuries including those leading to death are suffered by emergency workers, you'll be fined, likely get sued and see jail/prison time.
@@garethwest9069 I have seen someone with a medical condition who was doing likewise. Bystanders called the ambos, who said he had diabetes and blood sugar levels went haywire.

Agreed although I'd say mum not wife and out on a driving lesson, going by the positive reinforcement ("good spotting!"), telling to pull over and the "okay, okay".
7:20 "WTF" is right. Anyone got an explanation as to why you'd intentionally cross the median strip and hit a very obvious oncoming car on a clear sunny day? The only thing I can think of is that, after deliberately mounting the median, they stomped on the wrong pedal.

I've sat in front of an ambulance before while their air raid sirens were being tested, and it's even more than that. You literally feel it in your body. They're THAT strong that you experience this really intense vibration if you're directly in front of them. Maybe they were drunk and thought it was a cop car? Idk, but they knew something was there.

About 30. My younger brother and sister both played for hours when they were little.... They couldn't solve the puzzles, but they did enjoy watching them all pop.
I've had a lot of good times watching these videos. Every time I decide to watch a new one I wonder 'how is the opening clip going to blow my mind in some new sort of way? Surely the new material and editors can't keep outdoing themselves?' Then this opening clip, with music I hadn't heard for 30 odd years.
You have no idea what you're on about mate. The driving standard here is actually pretty good, shits all over UK and USA, and is on par or better than several euros.
@@BaneWilliams in 2020 the road toll in Australia was 1,195, in the UK it was 1,516. The UK population is 2.5 times larger than Australia's (25m in Australia vs 67m in the UK). So per capita, death toll is higher in Australia.
@@BaneWilliams a some who grew up in the UK but now lives in Australia I can definitely say that the driving standard was better in UK (as evidenced by the stats I provided). In Australia, people tailgate all the time (especially horrifying in wet weather when people drive 5m behind you at 100kph), there's no lane discipline on the freeways which is dangerous and an inefficient usage of freeways. Australian people are super friendly (probably the friendliest in the world), until they get behind the steering wheel.
@@jp1041041 In 2020, Britain was in widespread lockdowns for some time. Perhaps not the best year to post examples? I think Brit drivers handle wet & icy roads better than Aussies, having more experience. Probably better at cornering on narrow country lanes, too. But are you sure the data can be directly applied? UK roads are more congested, meaning lower speeds, thus fewer accidents. Plus more Brits live in quite built up areas (all those villas & townhouses) with less distance to travel. I agree, Aussies are terrible tailgaters, seemingly oblivious to the danger. Yes, shit drivers on freeways generally. Every country's drivers show certain trends. UK drivers are said to be terrible at queueing across intersections, especially in peak hour. And notorious for not allowing cars in from side streets. I've read there's even some jealousy involved. The higher the status of your car, the less likely they'll let you in. Not nearly as dangerous as Aussie tailgaters, of course. Dangerous in it causes impatience and aggression. Gotta say, tho, status envy is pretty low. Every nation has drivers with similar bad habits.

9:54 the morning after a Troy Candy meet and a night on the glass bbq always hits hard for his patrons. Almost as hard as that poor front bar into the gutter.
we are so used to following the one car in front of us, thanks to the very strict speed limit. being the first car is stressful with no fulfillment since you can't go taking off. the chances that your limbo is going as fast as the plumber truck next to you in the next 30 minutes on the great western hwy is next to 100% if you drive long enough, and have a limbo.
Bwahahaha! I was not expecting the Lemmings music. I was listening to the Mega Drive soundtrack a few hours ago and I honestly thought for a moment I'd opened the wrong tab.
After 23 years in the job, I could tell you about hundreds of occasions where people have done stupid things in front of our ambulance. Unfortunately we're not allowed to install personal dashcams for the shift. If you see an emergency vehicle coming behind, pull to the LEFT when safe to do so. If you can't go left, at least indicate your intentions when going right.
Yep, Same here, but that was a poor example of driving from the paramedic too. They had other options rather than sitting right up that cars backside. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that little clip make one of our driver training videos !
@@bruce4890 The paramedic was clearly making a point with that driver and all emergency vehicles should have dashcams for police to deal with incompetent drivers later.
@@bruce4890 Personally, I thought "brain fart" when I saw what that crew did. If they're going to a job, then you've got two people watching the road and surroundings.
Has the drinking water been contaminated en-masse with Crystal Meth or something? That's the only explanation I can come up with for this month's whoppers...
8:04 when people get so defensive like that about their bad driving it makes me think it's because they're so embarrassed that they don't know how else to react. Also at 1:00 i wonder why the ambo didn't pull out in front of the cammer, i know the other car was a butthole but this is a life-threatening call so when the cammer gave way they could have just switched lanes instead of waiting so long behind the other car.
It may well be the case that paramedics are trained to change lanes as a last resort to reduce the risk of an accident and make it easier for other road users to predict their movements. Idk though, any paramedics in the comments?

Perfect partner.👍
You have to take the bad with the good. My wife is grateful, loving, beautiful and smart but intensely arachnophobia to the point of panic attacks. It's something I have to accept.
That first bunch of people were like sheep - one idiot leads and the others stupidly follow.

Love the lemmings track with the opening scene. Perfect!
How the hell did I not recognise that music and had to some to the comments to notice it...
@@SgtMoo I barely recognised it at first but I'm used to the Amiga version of the game (and was playing it last month!) which has a different sounding version of the tune.
Not sure what version that came from - PC/DOS perhaps
5:50 was a medical episode.
It was posted on a truckie FB page.
Truck driver is okay, I think the car driver went back to check and some others had pulled up as well.
V4Xxident
i was wondering if they were ok, thanks for informing us :)
How can you be that dense with an emergency vehicle behind you 😑
The density is real
Maybe thought it was a cop. I got nothin.
@@PeterPaoliello I actually thought it was a cop until I saw the word ambulance at the back after it was stopped. may be the driver thought he was being pulled over?
i mnea the ambo driver is pretty dumb aswell couldve just gone into the middle lane the guy mustve thought it was a cop thats why they were stopping and trying to pull over
Asian female driver most likely
0:01 I suppose you gotta be 40+ now to get the music reference in the opening clip, but ABSOLUTELY loved the Lemmings reference.
About 30. My younger brother and sister both played for hours when they were little.... They couldn't solve the puzzles, but they did enjoy watching them all pop.
the last one is just painful
If that had been a woman, there would have been so much male gloating...
Bloke was off his face
9:02 that was a LOT more calm and collected than my wife and I would have been...
I've had a lot of good times watching these videos. Every time I decide to watch a new one I wonder 'how is the opening clip going to blow my mind in some new sort of way? Surely the new material and editors can't keep outdoing themselves?'
Then this opening clip, with music I hadn't heard for 30 odd years.
I loved you in Die Hard
The driving standard in Australia has never been particularly good, but holy crap this is quite the display of moronic, selfish driving.
@Miss Kitty I can never decide if it is better or worse if they are under the influence of something.
You have no idea what you're on about mate. The driving standard here is actually pretty good, shits all over UK and USA, and is on par or better than several euros.
@@BaneWilliams in 2020 the road toll in Australia was 1,195, in the UK it was 1,516. The UK population is 2.5 times larger than Australia's (25m in Australia vs 67m in the UK). So per capita, death toll is higher in Australia.
@@BaneWilliams a some who grew up in the UK but now lives in Australia I can definitely say that the driving standard was better in UK (as evidenced by the stats I provided).
In Australia, people tailgate all the time (especially horrifying in wet weather when people drive 5m behind you at 100kph), there's no lane discipline on the freeways which is dangerous and an inefficient usage of freeways. Australian people are super friendly (probably the friendliest in the world), until they get behind the steering wheel.
@@jp1041041 In 2020, Britain was in widespread lockdowns for some time. Perhaps not the best year to post examples?
I think Brit drivers handle wet & icy roads better than Aussies, having more experience. Probably better at cornering on narrow country lanes, too.
But are you sure the data can be directly applied? UK roads are more congested, meaning lower speeds, thus fewer accidents. Plus more Brits live in quite built up areas (all those villas & townhouses) with less distance to travel.
I agree, Aussies are terrible tailgaters, seemingly oblivious to the danger. Yes, shit drivers on freeways generally.
Every country's drivers show certain trends. UK drivers are said to be terrible at queueing across intersections, especially in peak hour. And notorious for not allowing cars in from side streets. I've read there's even some jealousy involved. The higher the status of your car, the less likely they'll let you in.
Not nearly as dangerous as Aussie tailgaters, of course. Dangerous in it causes impatience and aggression. Gotta say, tho, status envy is pretty low.
Every nation has drivers with similar bad habits.
Been a few decades since I last heard the Lemmings tune. Well done, sir.
Holy crap, I knew I had heard that but couldn't place it. Thanks for pointing it out
Needed an “Oh, no!” or two.
I have one of the songs from Lemmings as my ringtone so I thought I was getting a phone call 😂
Is that what that was? I thought I recognised it!!!
@@sean---the-other-one
The cars didn't explode. They only said "oh no" before they exploded.
3:40 “you just got cut off by another fox”
Wanted to cry watching that last guy park that poor fpv 😭
It was a nice car before he drove it.
Thought he was almost going to reverse into the dumpster bin!
A GT-P as well :(
drunk as a skunk..
Hopefully the DC’r blocked him in and called the cops.
Watching DCOA makes me feel like an excellent driver.
right? as a learner it makes me feel WAY better about my driving - i might be shit but at least i know which side of the road to stay on!
7:20 This is proof that the universe is a simulation and some NPCs are badly programmed.

@@brendanmatthys3788
I can’t believe he would damage that too. How much you can get for one these days if it’s looked after and in good condition is amazing.
That last one hurts. That's a bloody GT-P he's just casually wrecking. Damn
it was actually the saddest clip ive ever seen on this channel
He is definitely drunk or under the influence, guy had no idea which was was forwards or backwards…
Sadly, dealers only check credit ratings and not skill level
Yup. 😭
i like how he was looking over his shoulder but the car was going forwards
9:04 the way that woman reacted to the huntsman lol. “There is a huntsman in the car”, “oh ok” no panic at all.
She probably has empathy fit the critter just trying to survive. Amazing how much less scary they are when you think that way. They're fascinating animals.
There were more people driving off the road than on it in this month’s compilation
9:54 the morning after a Troy Candy meet and a night on the glass bbq always hits hard for his patrons. Almost as hard as that poor front bar into the gutter.
0:00 What absolute LEMMINGS!
we are so used to following the one car in front of us, thanks to the very strict speed limit. being the first car is stressful with no fulfillment since you can't go taking off. the chances that your limbo is going as fast as the plumber truck next to you in the next 30 minutes on the great western hwy is next to 100% if you drive long enough, and have a limbo.
@@jeremysun7365 Limbo? Is that a car that fits under a very low height-restriction bar in a shopping centre carpark?

Bwahahaha! I was not expecting the Lemmings music. I was listening to the Mega Drive soundtrack a few hours ago and I honestly thought for a moment I'd opened the wrong tab.
Damn straight. Gotta love the gaming community :)
Peace mate
After 23 years in the job, I could tell you about hundreds of occasions where people have done stupid things in front of our ambulance. Unfortunately we're not allowed to install personal dashcams for the shift. If you see an emergency vehicle coming behind, pull to the LEFT when safe to do so. If you can't go left, at least indicate your intentions when going right.
Yep, Same here, but that was a poor example of driving from the paramedic too. They had other options rather than sitting right up that cars backside. Wouldn’t be surprised to see that little clip make one of our driver training videos !
@@bruce4890 The paramedic was clearly making a point with that driver and all emergency vehicles should have dashcams for police to deal with incompetent drivers later.
@@bruce4890 Personally, I thought "brain fart" when I saw what that crew did. If they're going to a job, then you've got two people watching the road and surroundings.
@@petesmitt Ambulance drivers don't have time for 'making a point' ... just go by, get to where you're going!
I don't get management's problem with putting up a dash cam. Paranoid about adverse publicity??
Has the drinking water been contaminated en-masse with Crystal Meth or something? That's the only explanation I can come up with for this month's whoppers...
Mayb pfizer has something to do with it 🤪
8:04 when people get so defensive like that about their bad driving it makes me think it's because they're so embarrassed that they don't know how else to react.
Also at 1:00 i wonder why the ambo didn't pull out in front of the cammer, i know the other car was a butthole but this is a life-threatening call so when the cammer gave way they could have just switched lanes instead of waiting so long behind the other car.
It may well be the case that paramedics are trained to change lanes as a last resort to reduce the risk of an accident and make it easier for other road users to predict their movements. Idk though, any paramedics in the comments?
Ambulance drivers are held responsible for all driving mistakes and collisions even those that would not be their fault normally speaking.
So, the ambulance had a choice to go left and undertake....but had the cammer or any other road user behind hit the ambulance....ambulance driver at would be held to be at fault...at least by their (usually) piss weak management.
The ambulance theoretically has the right of way and normal people get out of it's way...
So the ambulance driver stuck to his right of way right until he realised the driver in front of him was an fwit and was parked there for the night.
Then the ambulance driver took a chance and moved over to go around....note that the driver in the lane to the left of the DC was still moving forward and might have been stupid enough to switch lanes into the DC lane...and have collided with the ambulance...
Ambulanes should have massive push bars mounted on their fronts....
is it so hard just to apologize? he owned the cammer that for stopping in time.
@@LHyoutube Yep, you've got to wonder if the *stationery* driver got their licence at the local newsagent ...
Attack is the best form of defence.

Hopefully its not replica. it appears to be real though :(.
I've moved around and recognise many roads, but that last footage hit close to home. Literally it's next to my house 😬
The man driving it looked like he didn't care. Who knows what he screwed around with under the bonnet...
I'm really cool, like that huntsman lady!
The way she says 'spotting' milking everything out of the 't's. Full marks to the finishing school responsible.
Some drivers have a special kind of arrogance that amazes me every time I watch these videos!
.....& others have a special kind of stupidity that's equally amazing, & just as unfixable!
I knew a guy who thought because he had to pay for a licence he could do what ever he wanted!
Appreciate the Lemmings theme for the pre-title clip! Subtle
Full respect for the ambos.
Got a strange urge to drive over an Island. Could be fun, not sure what could happen :)
lol.. go take yourself to a bush and drive over a stump
Even the crow at the end is like "Oh shit I see where this is going, imma get the fuck outa here"
The last clip was one of the best clips ive ever seen
I think that was the calmest "there is a huntsman in the car" situation I have ever witnessed...
8:58 Reminds me of Pat Drummond's song "It's Somewhere In The Car" - the song's about a funnel web, but was inspired by a friendly huntsman hitchhiker on a trip through the outback.
5:17 hats off to the driver. Great reaction time.
3:53 far out and I thought the dash cam car was too fast, old mate who undertook just flew by him!

Grade 2 chinesium bolts from $2 shop.
A couple of self tappers!
Nice intro with the Lemmings game music, blind leading the blind.
2:15 Was the bull bar tied on with string? What's the point of an enormous lump of metal it it's going to fall off with just a tap like that? Apart from doing more injury to anyone you hit that is.
Built Ford tough 😆
His tyres must be completely bald... couldn't even get up the tiny curb... and he's in an F100 for christ sakes
probably a couple of self tappers
@@myopinion69420 And probably those self-tappers with a shank so there wasn't actually any thread biting into the metal ... if someone's going to mis-use self-tapping screws they might as well completely stuff it up instead of only half stuffing it up.
Every day I’m grateful that I’m not a victim of some careless driver.
8:56 This is the kind of girlfriend I would like to get married with. 👍👍👍
Keeping calm, not screaming for nothing, ability to make rational and helpful suggestions to husband, problem solving skills, common sense, a sweet voice with no dirty language and try to calm the situation by praising her husband "good spotting".
Perfect partner.👍
You have to take the bad with the good. My wife is grateful, loving, beautiful and smart but intensely arachnophobia to the point of panic attacks. It's something I have to accept.
Agreed, 2 people screaming at it would be very unproductive
9:00 I think I'm in love with that bedroom voice..

That first bunch of people were like sheep - one idiot leads and the others stupidly follow. I've seen that sort of thing at the lights when someone at the front mistakes a green arrow for a "straight-ahead" and they take off through the red, then three or four cars behind them will just blindly follow.
Lemmings! They were Lemmings! How has nobody mentioned that it was the Lemmings video game theme song dubbed over that clip!?!
@@Chris-pr5ov Cheers, I remember the game, but I didn't remember the theme. It was a perfect choice then!
@@Markus_Andrew I scrolled a little further and saw another mention of it so I stopped feeling like a crazy person. It took a few seconds on first watch to get there, and on the second watch the "lets go" sound at the very beginning sealed it. Don't know where my brain kept that nugget for 25 years
And that's why I rarelt indicate when cycling. It' too dangerous
