the m7 is fully speed controlled. with a breakdown they reduce the limit to 40. So the driver was probably doing about 50. The fish eye of the camera makes things at the sides look quicker than they are.

@@christianbuczko1481 I meant in the sense that it's unexpectedly scary, particularly for the driver. Whoever climbed that tower knew what they were doing/knew what they were going to do. They didn't wake up at the top of a tower they didn't know they climbed 😂

FUCKING top job driver, this is why we don't talk on the phone or play with our phones. Imagine if that driver didn't have his eyes on the road........... RIP
What the heck even happened there. Looked like he was pushed or trying to pull on something and lost his grip. Crazy stuff! Well in to that driver with legendary reflexes though. You the real MVP.
Nice work, driver. That said, it should be written into the road rules that if approaching a breakdown vehicle with hazards on, drivers should move into the far lane if safe and practical to do so.
This is why you always give at least a lane buffer between yourself and a car stopped on the side of the road, and if not possible slow down to give yourself additional time to react.
Just keep in mind that dash cams distort the view, so this guy was most likely even closer than he appears on the dashcam...driver's got some crazy fast reflexes
And if the driver had been on his mobile phone he would have killed him.. Which is why its so important to pay attention while driving. Amazing reactions!
Luckly no car next to him, this is why I consciously don't drive parallel to the cars in the next lane, always behind enough to ensure a sudden swerve will miss me.
One of the first things my dad taught me when I first started driving was to always move over a lane when there’s a car on shoulder with its hazards on
@@Didndjsbfirbfjdnfurnfh or does he mean if there a car travelling next to you , should be either behind or in front, not directly parallel each other?
For some context.. news outlets have reported the person who fell was trying to assault and rob the person who was broken down.. they fell either trying to get away or as a result of the fight..
@@DISMODEUS It appears to be the victim as the news report said the mugger "threatened the driver with a knife and demanded money, before stealing his wallet and mobile phone and leaving in a white coloured four-wheel drive" so I imagine he pushed the victim so he could escape without being fought back
I just heard of this on the wireless and apparently it was a robbery or carjacking and he got pushed by the people trying to rob him. It costs $80 for a good dashcam so I think these days they should be mandatory in all vehicles
I saw this on the news. I think the guy on the road robbed a couple of guys who were fixing a car on the side of the road earlier and took off in that white SUV, this incident happened some time later.
man I had something similar happen with a truck wheel once, I could not imagine the sheer panic if that wheel had been a pedestrian. If I was this guy, I would take the rest of the week and buy a lottery ticket. Yea its great reflexes but its also a sheer bit of luck that it wasn't a second later, the car beside him wasn't any closer and he was driving a responsive car.
Quite possibly. I did an advanced driver training day once. At 60 km/h that sort of manoeuvre should not upset the car but at 100 km/h, to do the same thing, you either need ESC or a lot of skill (and training for that specific action). Mortals tend end up facing the wrong direction otherwise. The way the car slides a little suggests the ESC is doing its job there.
Great reactions by the driver, but actually made a fairly big mistake by not slowing down and/or changing lanes past a car in the breakdown lane with hazards on. It should be instinctive to do this, approaching a situation that is out of the norm. It pays to do this in the unlikely scenario something happens like in this video. My worry is usually that a kid will slam the door open and jump out or will bolt out from in front of the stopped car.
The guy was being robbed. Police reported that his car had broken down and was working on it when an unknown individual in the white car rolled up and robbed him at knife point.
If someone pushed or hit that guy towards incoming traffic, that's literally attempted murder.
I think he just fell over. I think.

Instead of a dash cam owners watermark it would have a liveleak one

The driver needs to learn some common courtesy, and basic road rules, by either slowing down, or changing lanes.

Yessss
Do better next time 86.
Missed him by *that* much, chief.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a fan.
Oh Maxxx 🙄
I normally slow down and rest my foot on the brake pedal as i approach broken down vehicles.
I'm switching lanes from now on 😅
Yeah, I change lanes if there's room to do so safely. A small chance of that happening, but I can still reduce the risk further.
no way you could've stopped in time without still swerving, unless you have gigantic brakes.
@@M.TTT. Exactly. Its why I switch lanes for cyclists.
If you didn`t have Camera on board and hit him you be charged which is wrong but people do dash Cameras it save you from idiots...

Amazing reaction. That van on the right timed it right too.
imagine if the driver was too busy texting
IF only everyone were this aware and focused whilst driving, there'd be no complaints about slowing to 40km/h when passing emergency vehicles.
Nobody slows down anymore do they? Like, that shit was cancelled?

Holy moly! Great driving there 👏
Driver literally saved his life with his reflexes
How do you trip over backwards from stationary, nowhere near any other people?
Great illustration of why you should always move over for police or disabled vehicles on the shoulder. If you’re not able to move over, slow down.
That is my biggest fear whilst riding my bicycle, getting hit by another car and falling into the next lane. Holy shit that was close!
This is why you always give at least a lane buffer between yourself and a car stopped on the side of the road, and if not possible slow down to give yourself additional time to react.
Driver was lucky there wasn’t a car to his right when he swerved!!!
No distractions = great reflexes
Just keep in mind that dash cams distort the view, so this guy was most likely even closer than he appears on the dashcam...driver's got some crazy fast reflexes

And if the driver had been on his mobile phone he would have killed him.. Which is why its so important to pay attention while driving. Amazing reactions!

Thank goodness the driver is a pro mariokart player to avoid that rogue gumba... geez what a close call!
Great driving, thankfully for him there wasnt a car or even worse a motorbike next to him.
That would have been an insurance nightmare.
And THAT is why you ALWAYS move over when there's a vehicle on the shoulder....
at highways speeds, 100% yes. Every time
One of the first things my dad taught me when I first started driving was to always move over a lane when there’s a car on shoulder with its hazards on
good practice but I think it's technically against the road rules to be in the right lane for anything other than overtaking
@@Didndjsbfirbfjdnfurnfh or does he mean if there a car travelling next to you , should be either behind or in front, not directly parallel each other?

Gee that was close. Good driving.
Aren't some cars equipped with collision avoidance systems? where the car takes over and steers it away?
Maybe at slower speeds, but I don't think cars are at a point where they will take authority away from the driver on a highway.
The tech isn't there yet not at that level
