Honestly I had that happen to me, I drove straight into a crash because the guy who suddenly started moving into my lane swerved back out.... Only to come back in and fuck up my day. Mind you he barely indicated and was coming from a stop whereas I was moving pretty fast so it wasn't exactly ideal conditions
I legitimately don't get it, either. If I take a wrong turn, or miss a turn, I just keep going, find somewhere quiet to pull over, and fire up Google Maps. Really not that hard.
U-turns are legal in a lot of areas of the road for a few reasons, this being one of them. Some people just think it's the worst thing in the world to miss their turns..
Its not hard to stick to the lane you're in and find another way around, pull into a street to do a u turn or literally anything else besides cutting off traffic
What makes it worse is when they abuse fuck out of you for calling them idiots, or they're halfway through doing something stupid and just fucken sit there like stunned mullets.

At no time did he teach her anything about when to turn headlights on, how to be observant of things going on around the car, how to plan ahead and be in the correct lane well before making a turn, how to keep up with traffic; you know, all those things we were taught about driving when we were puppies.

I could be the only one on the road and I'll pull atleast 7 headchecks before switching lanes, you just never know when or where some dickhead will appear from
I doubt it, looks very much like an impersonator judging from the driving and vehicle. Very stupid considering under SECTION 546D CRIMES ACT 1900 you could face a maximum penalty of 7 years imprisonment.
I was thinking every one of these videos should be in the hands of the Police - evidence in court - for some of them loss of licence, never to hold again....
It is a police car surprisingly. It is manly on the central coast NSW. Seen it at a few jobs with other police cars, RFS and F&Rnsw. I Couldn't work out who's car it was but I'm 99% sure it was the police commander.
4:54 this is something I see all too often sadly…someone overtaking down the right hand lane with an impatient asshole up their tail, car in front WAITS UNTIL SAFE…not entering the safe stopping distance of the vehicle they passed, and the impatient prick tries to cut through Worse still is the amount of times the car in fron moving across then gets taken by the impatient tailgater as if the person ahead is trying to block/road rage at the,, further fueling their “perceived” grievance
this is an issue that increased speed limits would have a significant effect on most people drive at the speed they're most comfortable at; if i feel comfortable at 100 but the speed limit is 150, i will happily stay as far left as possible, and if i need to get around slower traffic QUICKLY, i can do so without worrying about cops. Similarly, people who are comfortable at 150, can do 150, without having to stay around me for too long. the australian overtake consists of vehicle A doing just under the speed limit, and vehicle B, scared about the nutty highway patrol, not wanting to go more than 5 over the limit. you now have vehicle B taking a minute to perform what should be no more than a ten second action. Even worse when vehicle A unconsciously (or deliberately) speeds up to try to match vehicle B's speed. tasmania does it right; speed limits on the fun roads are 100, but realistically unless you have significantly improved your driving skill, or vehicle's handling, or both, most people can only really do 80. As a result, slower drivers don't have to worry about someone riding their ass, and faster drivers don't have to worry about being held up by slower vehicles or breaking the law. but this will never happen short of a coup and a dictator implementing this, because the govt gets a nice chunk of profit off all the tickets
So many incompetent drivers that shouldn’t be on the road. I am wondering in Australia is it like the multiverse where red means go and green means stop? Also at 18:43 when that music comes on for the crash is great timing.
All sorts of rules are optional here. Roundabouts, speed limits (feel free to drive 20 under it anytime), the fast lane, blind spot checking, one way streets. Here in Sydney, if you assume others are going to understand, let alone obey, the rules, you will bingle.
Yep, I was just out for a drive earlier and someone used a right turn only lane on one to overtake me going straight ahead. Didn't know that the arrows were just suggestions!
@@Counterflak Give way to the right is rarely used at Australian intersections. Intersections are usually controlled by stop/give way signs or traffic lights. It is definitely not the rule on roundabouts. When entering a roundabout, you must give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout - usually they will be on your right but they could also be in front or even on your left.
@@Counterflak There is no law that says give way to the right people just assume there is, but you have to because people on the right are not stopping they will just barge through I think they should just make it a law since that's what everyone does anyway
@@JackieLeee personally, there's disproportionately high percent of the video spent paused, trying to read the street signs to find out where it took place, or thinking "hey, I know that place" when I actually don't. A sort of obsessive compulsive geoguessr thing.
That guy should loos his license and his job and should never be allowed to ever drive as a job ever again! He needs to walk for a long time to get of his anger issues.
16:46 i swear heatherton rd and toorak rd must be the 2 most popular exits to try be an idiot at. this happens every time i drive past either of them, the police could just park on the off ramp and make more money than any speed camera in the state.
I’ll admit I’m guilty of this sometimes, but only when I’ve sat through two traffic light cycles because people keep cramming into the intersection despite the traffic ahead not moving at all
The guy at 5:08 got trapped in a pincer movement. As he was swearing at the vehicle presumably coming the wrong way down the lane into which he'd just turned, he got shunted by the blue car he'd thought had let him pass on account of the traffic queue. Just wasn't his day.

When I first started watching Dash Cam Owners, it was strictly voyeuristic, tut tut tutting at everybody else's foibles. But then I focused on the survivors. I focused on the skills they displayed in their survival escapades. They were all excellent drivers, not necessarily on Mt Panorama, but definitely on the road. Excellent choice making and quick reactions due to alertness and road awareness, intense concentration on their driving and the road conditions. And most of all being prepared for any eventuality and not driving on auto pilot. The vids are enjoyable too.
Note to self for anyone that wants a dashcam. Before pressing save, make a huge deal out of the situation, like kick, scream and just overall act like a child.. Not dashcam footage if there's no over playing the situation
I probably shouldn’t be watching these when I’m gonna be taking my drivers test soon. It’s scary to think that you can do all the right things and still end up in an accident because of someone else’s poor driving.
Yes. The best approach is to be doubly aware: aware of what you're doing and then aware of what everyone else is doing as well. It takes practice. Good luck.
I've been driving for almost 20 years.. it doesn't get any easier. These videos still give me the willies. I still get tailgated for example for doing the speed limit. And never assume you have right-of-way, because some wanker is always going to pop out.
I remember using some of these phrases at other drivers, as well as "I've got L-plates you stupid bitch! What's your excuse?!" That was during my P's test, which was the same day as my first HSC exam. Passed both 😎
I'm wondering whether there's some _really_ special advanced driving course. Some of the drivers this week are showing absolutely phenomenal concentration skills to be able to completely miss seeing oncoming traffic as they pull out...
I love that these videos are 20 minutes long..... And why is everyone in such a rush??? I swear it's like everyone is trying to race everyone. All in a hurry to get no where fast.... Smh
I started out watching UK dashcams (where I am) thinking how bad drivers are getting. Then I watched USA cams & realised Our standard of driving is Brilliant (Americans seem to think that the brake is only for parking & the horn is what you use the rest of the time). Then I began watching Aussie & NZ cams which I like as you drive on the correct side of the road like we do. At first I watched older videos & thought Aussies were mostly decent but as I have caught up to current videos the standards have slipped a lot. If things keep getting worse it won't be long before Aussie & NZ drivers will as bad if not worse than the yanks. It may be entertaining but it's not a great advertisement for what are the 2 most beautiful countries in the world :(
Actually, I've been considering something "disposable" and just leaving my "good" cars home most of the time! They are old, but paid for, one good wreck and they'd be totalled...

And, if you listen very carefully, and if you remain very still and calm, and if you are very, very quiet, you may, with luck and patience, just hear the sound of an Australian swearing.
For penalising traffic incidents, they need the video, a witness statement from the dash cam operator and a willingness by the dash cam operator to attend court in the future if the offender challenges any penalty applied.
No. Even if it was, there would be roof-mounted and rear internal mounted lights flashing as well. And it wouldn't be a beep of the horn. Just another dangerous Ranger on the road... well past time cars are removed from anyone who can't prove they should have one. Car culture sucks.
Given the number of blind spot incidents, I wonder what the percentages are that: 1. Do not look 2. Diable vehicle safety system alerts 3. Ignore vehicle safety system alerts 4. Look and don't give a two hoots

I doubt it, looks very much like an impersonator judging from the driving and vehicle. Very stupid considering under SECTION 546D CRIMES ACT 1900 you could face a maximum penalty of 7 years imprisonment.
I was thinking every one of these videos should be in the hands of the Police - evidence in court - for some of them loss of licence, never to hold again....
@@brucemcintyre4925 Nah, that's too much paperwork for them to do. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It is a police car surprisingly. It is manly on the central coast NSW. Seen it at a few jobs with other police cars, RFS and F&Rnsw. I Couldn't work out who's car it was but I'm 99% sure it was the police commander.
@@nelsonzhang1369 Lucky its a cop car I've seen it a few times at incidents :)
18:41 It's not certain that it would have prevented anything but running your lights at all times makes you easier to see..
10:07 I think the spotties need aiming
I used to think I had a potty mouth when I drove, but after watching this I realize I was speaking Australian.
4:54 this is something I see all too often sadly…someone overtaking down the right hand lane with an impatient asshole up their tail, car in front WAITS UNTIL SAFE…not entering the safe stopping distance of the vehicle they passed, and the impatient prick tries to cut through
Worse still is the amount of times the car in fron moving across then gets taken by the impatient tailgater as if the person ahead is trying to block/road rage at the,, further fueling their “perceived” grievance
Yep.
this is an issue that increased speed limits would have a significant effect on
most people drive at the speed they're most comfortable at; if i feel comfortable at 100 but the speed limit is 150, i will happily stay as far left as possible, and if i need to get around slower traffic QUICKLY, i can do so without worrying about cops. Similarly, people who are comfortable at 150, can do 150, without having to stay around me for too long.
the australian overtake consists of vehicle A doing just under the speed limit, and vehicle B, scared about the nutty highway patrol, not wanting to go more than 5 over the limit. you now have vehicle B taking a minute to perform what should be no more than a ten second action. Even worse when vehicle A unconsciously (or deliberately) speeds up to try to match vehicle B's speed.
tasmania does it right; speed limits on the fun roads are 100, but realistically unless you have significantly improved your driving skill, or vehicle's handling, or both, most people can only really do 80. As a result, slower drivers don't have to worry about someone riding their ass, and faster drivers don't have to worry about being held up by slower vehicles or breaking the law.
but this will never happen short of a coup and a dictator implementing this, because the govt gets a nice chunk of profit off all the tickets
17:59 "PLYBOI" is that ply for plywood, or ply for single ply toilet paper 😅
So many incompetent drivers that shouldn’t be on the road. I am wondering in Australia is it like the multiverse where red means go and green means stop?
Also at 18:43 when that music comes on for the crash is great timing.
14:36 "I don't think you're ready for this Camry"
Never are!
🤣🤣 Oh great, now I'll have that stuck in my head for that song. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
17:59 With a license plate like that, his driving doesn't surprise me.
He must like plywood a lot to have it on his plate. Probably an apprentice late for work....... again.
@@carolineleach7689 😆
How long did it take the guy to brake right at the end you could see that coming a mile away
Dunno. He was probably rubber necking at something over the road or was skylarking.
Yeah they must have been distracted there’s no way their reaction time is that slow.
Answer; As long as it took to look up from their phone!
I reckon he was hit in the rear. Watch closely and it looks like a lurch forward right before the collision
Trailer tyre hits the post absolutely square on. Seriously good aim - full points!
I love how roundabouts are optional in Australia.. they'll always keep you on your toes.
The concept of giving way to the right regardless of the intersection type seems to be optional once people get their licences.
All sorts of rules are optional here. Roundabouts, speed limits (feel free to drive 20 under it anytime), the fast lane, blind spot checking, one way streets. Here in Sydney, if you assume others are going to understand, let alone obey, the rules, you will bingle.
Yep, I was just out for a drive earlier and someone used a right turn only lane on one to overtake me going straight ahead. Didn't know that the arrows were just suggestions!
@@Counterflak Give way to the right is rarely used at Australian intersections. Intersections are usually controlled by stop/give way signs or traffic lights. It is definitely not the rule on roundabouts. When entering a roundabout, you must give way to any vehicle already in the roundabout - usually they will be on your right but they could also be in front or even on your left.
@@Counterflak There is no law that says give way to the right people just assume there is, but you have to because people on the right are not stopping they will just barge through
I think they should just make it a law since that's what everyone does anyway
That tree crew at 10:23 are about to realise that "She'll be right mate" doesn't always work out.
Oh man that’s a big f moment
That's the second time in as many days I've seen footage of someone driving erratically on the Pine River bridge.
A breakdown of a typical DCOA video viewing:
20%: Watching the actual video
80%: Rewinding the video 5 or 10 seconds to try and see what happened,
You forgot the % of pausing to see a time stamp and finding the comment to match to see if your thoughts align
@@JackieLeee personally, there's disproportionately high percent of the video spent paused, trying to read the street signs to find out where it took place, or thinking "hey, I know that place" when I actually don't.
A sort of obsessive compulsive geoguessr thing.
17:10 is terrifying, the worst driving I have seen in a long time. That could have gone terribly and lots of people would have been injured.
That guy should loos his license and his job and should never be allowed to ever drive as a job ever again! He needs to walk for a long time to get of his anger issues.
@@johnt.848 Both I'd imagine. Straight negligence from the both of them.
@@johnt.848 Both.
Anyone notice the van behind the truck also o driving on the shoulder?
That sign at 3:09 comes in at perfect timing LOL!
Song at 18:45 also is great timing.
Ty! Was wondering if anyone else caught the "total tool" driver on the road, lol. 😂
Stay safe out there everyone!💖
16:46 i swear heatherton rd and toorak rd must be the 2 most popular exits to try be an idiot at.
this happens every time i drive past either of them, the police could just park on the off ramp and make more money than any speed camera in the state.
10:45 Come on camera car, why are you entering an intersection you've got no way out of?
So many forget that the green light means 'proceed when it is safe to do so'. Not when the intersection is jammed with traffic
I’ll admit I’m guilty of this sometimes, but only when I’ve sat through two traffic light cycles because people keep cramming into the intersection despite the traffic ahead not moving at all
The guy at 5:08 got trapped in a pincer movement. As he was swearing at the vehicle presumably coming the wrong way down the lane into which he'd just turned, he got shunted by the blue car he'd thought had let him pass on account of the traffic queue. Just wasn't his day.
Failed to give way to oncoming traffic, he's at fault for that accident as well.
@@muntedewok yeah. I think he assumed that the blue car would give way. He didn't wait for the go ahead.
The blue car was crawling. They probably weren't even looking at the road or knew the cammer was there
14:45 Was that an actual undercover cop or just some guy who threw some red/blue lights on for just such an occasion?
not legit, undercovers dont have just a singular red and singular blue light that alternate each side of the bumper
they have a red and blue for each side that alternate, also have lights on the side of the windows
I've seen those on eBay, & you'd be stupid to buy them, let alone fit them!
its real I've seen it at a few jobs
@@stevie-ray2020 its legal to own u can buy and own them and even fit them to a vehicle .but the catch is a vehicle that has them on it can not be driven off private property
@@willam1992 No, you cannot fit them to a vehicle across most of Australia.
While most are reading from the rules of the roads, some are barely able to read the comic book adaptation.

18:04 can we please take a moment to appreciate this joke?
The song! 👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking at the comments, not many other people noticed. Should be talked about more lol
Professional truck drivers showing us how to drive safe yet again.
You ever tried to drive one?!
@@ericpl7227 - yes mate. I drive trucks, and this is a fine example of how some drivers think they can do what they want because they are bigger. They think cars should always give way to them at all times.
@@orlandoberry4031 very good! I just see lots of comments from people on youtube that really have no idea how hard it really is to drive one, that's all! Thank you for what you do!
0:38 Is that Andy Capp driving?
4:13 The never-ending roadworks claims another victim via road rage.
7:08 I know the truck pulled out on you but did you consider braking?
14:45 Something tells me that wasn't a cop.
17:06 As a truck driver, I fantasize about doing this to people who cut in front of me.
Feel like I would absolutely do the same thing as that truck driver.
I found myself grinning when i watched that truck, Who doesn't wish they could do that to the brain dead thundertwonks who think they own the road?
totally about the truck why do ppl think its really smart being right vs being safe just break and stay safe
The way he herded the ute back into his lane was golden and yeah, that dude is in a world of trouble if he's caught using those "police lights"
I love how people get tilted when someone else dose something that dosnt impact them in the slightest but because it’s wrong they loose their minds

18:04 Needed the music to play for a few more seconds for the full effect.

20:25 - I was looking for my brake pedal under my desk watching this! 😳
I picked that ending like a dirty nose.
no amount of dash cam footage is gonna save this bloke
Yes I've worn the sheets out on my side 😂😂😂.
6:28 Ahhh, so THATS where all those P platers get their rear door damage. It's like I've had an epiphany.
When I first started watching Dash Cam Owners, it was strictly voyeuristic, tut tut tutting at everybody else's foibles. But then I focused on the survivors. I focused on the skills they displayed in their survival escapades. They were all excellent drivers, not necessarily on Mt Panorama, but definitely on the road. Excellent choice making and quick reactions due to alertness and road awareness, intense concentration on their driving and the road conditions. And most of all being prepared for any eventuality and not driving on auto pilot.
The vids are enjoyable too.
7:07 "It's ok! My horn will protect me!"
19m: Somebody pulls in front of you while you're doing 100km/h, and your first reaction is to honk the horn?!!
Love how some dash cam drivers don't even brake so they can get the clip
Yeah then stand on the brakes and come to a complete stop. If I see a dashcam in a vehicle i try to stay well clear of them, worst drivers on the road
Note to self for anyone that wants a dashcam. Before pressing save, make a huge deal out of the situation, like kick, scream and just overall act like a child..
Not dashcam footage if there's no over playing the situation
or plugging the channel (ohhh dashcams australia woo!) etc
I probably shouldn’t be watching these when I’m gonna be taking my drivers test soon.
It’s scary to think that you can do all the right things and still end up in an accident because of someone else’s poor driving.
Yes. The best approach is to be doubly aware: aware of what you're doing and then aware of what everyone else is doing as well. It takes practice. Good luck.
These videos help. You become more aware of all the stupid things the drivers around you might do.
I've been driving for almost 20 years.. it doesn't get any easier. These videos still give me the willies. I still get tailgated for example for doing the speed limit. And never assume you have right-of-way, because some wanker is always going to pop out.
I remember using some of these phrases at other drivers, as well as "I've got L-plates you stupid bitch! What's your excuse?!"
That was during my P's test, which was the same day as my first HSC exam.
Passed both 😎
8:30 Time to sell the Ute pops, you're done.
Some of these drivers, I tell you.... Better to sit in the passenger seat and let the Seeing Eye Dog take the wheel
.....or they need reminding that they're sitting in a Tesla!
Never ceases to amaze me the amount of drivers who think traffic lights are mere suggestions.
I'm wondering whether there's some _really_ special advanced driving course. Some of the drivers this week are showing absolutely phenomenal concentration skills to be able to completely miss seeing oncoming traffic as they pull out...
7:20-7:45 Two for one! A rare catch
Excellent karma
I love that these videos are 20 minutes long..... And why is everyone in such a rush??? I swear it's like everyone is trying to race everyone. All in a hurry to get no where fast.... Smh
7:34 - justice is served (Westfield Miranda is the pits btw).

14:50 Congrats, you forced a guy to move over by announcing you're doing something highly illegal lol
"Fuck me swingin'.."
Now there's a new one
I take it you're either not an Aussie or you're young. If I'm not right on either, I'm extremely surprised you haven't heard it before.
I started out watching UK dashcams (where I am) thinking how bad drivers are getting. Then I watched USA cams & realised Our standard of driving is Brilliant (Americans seem to think that the brake is only for parking & the horn is what you use the rest of the time).
Then I began watching Aussie & NZ cams which I like as you drive on the correct side of the road like we do. At first I watched older videos & thought Aussies were mostly decent but as I have caught up to current videos the standards have slipped a lot.
If things keep getting worse it won't be long before Aussie & NZ drivers will as bad if not worse than the yanks.
It may be entertaining but it's not a great advertisement for what are the 2 most beautiful countries in the world :(
Fuck me swinging is the best reaction so far
At 3:08, had that van driver just exited from the warehouse on the left (Total Tools), it made me chuckle.....
I’ve been thinking about getting myself a new car recently. After seeing these videos I’m starting to second guess myself.
Actually, I've been considering something "disposable" and just leaving my "good" cars home most of the time! They are old, but paid for, one good wreck and they'd be totalled...
@@PhilG999 I recently offloaded my V8 (for a reasonable profit) and downgraded to a disposable car. There's no point when you're only as fast as the slowest SUVs and Yarises. You're just paying extra to restrain your vehicle and be irritated. It's a great time to sell though!
The good thing is that these days you can buy something 10-12yrs old with all the comfort & safety features you could ever want without having to spend a fortune on a luxury European brand! (Just check that it doesn't need the air-bag replaced!)
New to you. 😉
@@cycoholic Was considering a brand new Camry or Corolla Hybrid. Still got a few details to sort out though.
If all goes well it’ll be my first brand new car in my 47 years on this world.

9:06 love this car
That guy at the end was always going to have a rear ender. Sounded like he was doing everything else but drive properly.
I always wonder if the police ever watch these videos and follow up on them?
If it involves comparing two numbers then I am sure they do.
For penalising traffic incidents, they need the video, a witness statement from the dash cam operator and a willingness by the dash cam operator to attend court in the future if the offender challenges any penalty applied.
With a road train in the city, you need skills for that, or a good insurance!
🤣🤣 f me swinging
Never heard that one before. Kinky
Love those people that have launched into a round about without looking 9 times without any trouble but the 10th time finally get clobbered
14:54 is that a real cop car? I know Vicpol CIRT uses unmarked rangers but not sure where this is
Looks fake to me the flash is too slow for any emergency vehicle, also can you hear a horn and not a siren been used?
No. Even if it was, there would be roof-mounted and rear internal mounted lights flashing as well. And it wouldn't be a beep of the horn.
Just another dangerous Ranger on the road... well past time cars are removed from anyone who can't prove they should have one. Car culture sucks.
Given the number of blind spot incidents, I wonder what the percentages are that:
1. Do not look
2. Diable vehicle safety system alerts
3. Ignore vehicle safety system alerts
4. Look and don't give a two hoots
Imagine a world without a single idiot or entitled driver to screw up the traffic.......
