Many years back I was a volunteer in both the ambulance and fire brigade, and they drummed into us that yes, if you have your lights flashing and siren going, you CAN go through a red light, BUT don’t just fly through…treat it like a Give Way and slow down, check that everyone has seen you, and THEN proceed through. You certainly don’t just fly through at speed and expect other drivers to have seen you, especially around other traffic lined up at the lights.

Luckily, he quickly steered his steering towards the pathway and over someone's lawn, hahaha!

You are so right. I am an American, having lived in the United States since birth. I have 56 years of driving experience. The _greatest_ difference between Australia and the United States, is that here, when faced with on-coming traffic, overtaking drivers slam on the brakes and pull in _behind_ the vehicle they were overtaking. While in Australia the on=coming traffic is expected to pull off the road on the left, and give way to the illegally overtaking driver. The Australian way will result in a head-on collision every time in the United States.

I saw a video where a cyclist managed to get under a bus wheel. Popped his head all over the pavement. That guy is really fucking lucky he didn't end up the same way.
Bless those people who still stopped and asked the guys who were obviously in a stolen car if they were alright. As soon as I saw someone running I would've left immediately, damn.
That's Bogan driving 101. Run home from a car crash you caused, even if it's your car. When the cops turn up the car is empty and they cant charge you. They come round to your house, and you say; "What? Did someone pinch my car and crash it again?" Best way to get out of paying 20 grand for damaging council property... 🤔🙄
Any pricks causing an accident in a stolen vehicle deserves to be injured. Why would people care about them when they clearly don’t care about others ?
Watching that made me feel sick. I've had a couple close calls on the side of the road. Hope the TC was ok and hope the driver got their licence cancelled.
We've got a shit ton of roadworks going on all around Perth atm and it fucking astounds me how many people ignore the changed speed limits. All it takes is for a fuckwit to speed through and wipe out some poor worker for lives to be turned upside down. I was behind cops the other night going through roadworks and they certainly weren't leading by example...ignored the 60k signs by sitting on 80. If I did the same while they were behind me, I'd be pulled up. "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality. People can be selfish, man.
@@nelliesilvers1210 hey fellow Perthling! Yeah, roadworks and school zones are 2 places I'm happy to have double demerits for, a single slip up could be so devastating there and I'm not the least bit surprised about the cops, I've seen similar things from them.
Bet he/she is one who brags I’ve never had an accident yet ( but caused a few dozen at least), lol, and just look at all them right hand lane drivers without any cars next to them, the big 4x4 in the wet may have learnt his lesson to keep left unless overtaking?
@@tooltime9260if this was the case, how do so many of them have their licenses? How did they pass the test? Why don’t you blame the Australians that work in the RTA for passing them in the driving tests? this is not about race or if they are foreigners or not. There are stupid drivers everywhere. Regardless. And watching this channel. 90% are Aussies.
As a learner driver, this is a good heads-up for me that roundabouts and traffic lights are where the majority of crashes occur and you need to be extra careful in those places
A bit of advice...don't let arseholes bully you. I see so many P and L platers being tailgated, abused etc by arrogant PsOS who've obviously forgotten they were new to driving themselves at one stage and it pisses me off big time. If someone tries intimidating you, ignore the prick and keep doing your thing. Stay safe, matey👍🏻.
@@nelliesilvers1210 I got tailgated so much on my L's, it's as if they see the L plates and go "Hmm, let me get in closer", so dangerous to sit so close to another car. Anyways, these videos are also good for training your forethought, looking ahead and thinking "Is this car going to pull out in front of me?" For example, I had a green arrow left and a Victorian green P plater did a U-turn into the lane I was turning into. I live on the NSW/VIC border, you cannot do a U-turn at NSW traffic lights, but most traffic lights in VIC allow for a U-turn. So I'm staring at this person and their car, and I knew they were going to U-turn because the second they started turning they were turning too hard for a right turn.
Thanks to DCOA my awareness of the potential idiotic behaviour of other motorists has increased by at least 50%. I always knew there were numbnuts but not this many lol.
I was going to say the same thing, lol. Was thinking there are a ton of drivers in these vids that need to lose their license for life! Especially the red light runners! These type KNOW they are breaking the law and don't give a crap! The amount of red light runner close call videos are through the roof! They need a deterrent there for them, or they will just keep doing it, and there will be even more accidents! I know here in Canada we have red light camera's at high accident intersections, and they seem to be doing their job... accidents at those locations are down. Just wondering if anyone there has them? Anyways, safe driving wishes and take care everyone!💖🇨🇦
1:03 Criminal charges there! could even do jail time depending on the injuries! But the biker wont think about the times he broke the laws that day so that way its karma!
As long as you stay in your vehicle it should be OK if the lines fall.... those big arse poles on the other hand.... and if you do have to get out of a vehicle draped with high voltage lines...jump clear with both feet together...don't fall...don't touch the vehicle with your hands or any other part of your body... if your feet are apart..the differential voltage between the nearer and further away from the lines through the ground runs up one leg and through your body down the other leg....zap. hop like a bunny until well away....
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq You are better to stay put and wait for help. Sure, there are things you can do to reduce the risks of Potential Difference, but how clear and steady are you after an impact?
.....or you can roll onto the road just metres from fallen lines, like the driver of that prime-mover that rolled out of control down the hill into a pole!
Was in the car with my cousin as a teen. Didn't realise she was coming down from speed and was stoned. Being a passenger with a car running a red light was terrifying. Never got in a car with her again. And now I drive like everyone else on the road is on drugs.
The front driver had to slow because there was no gap until the semi passed. He/she was then a little delayed in taking off after the semi - so, not so good. But, in the end, the cars behind were following too closely and not looking ahead.
Too freaking right. So many times I've been stuck behind someone doing 60kph on a motorway on ramp, and nearly being involved in a pile up as a result.
@@AnotherDoug Please hand your license in, and request to be permanently banned from operating anything with a wheel on it, including a shopping trolley. You're literally a hazard.
Yeah there are several others that really aren't the bikes fault but that one was just a total failure of defensive riding. I rode for years and had similar incidents but never so much as a close call because I was always thinking about where I was on the road and what other vehicles were doing.
As a biker I agree but at the same time at least for me I get anxious as fuck just driving near another car one because cunts have tried to take me off the road and because my mates have had people pull em over to bash em just cause they're bikers but honestly seconded
What is with people... I swear every single crash in this video was completely avoidable and caused by some incredibly unintelligent people. Honestly, I have never felt this frustrated watching a dashcam video before.
Sure, a lot of them were caused by morons, but a lot of these crashes are probably also caused by perfectly reasonable, intelligent human beings. The problem is that even a second of not paying attention in the right place can cause these accidents. The more you think about road travel and the incredible amount of things that can go wrong every minute, the scarier it gets. I wonder sometimes how I don't get into a car crash either by my or someone else's doing every single time I drive. But driving is a necessity for most Australians as it's the way the cities are built, so it's unavoidable. Best strap in and hope for the best.
@@timothy__tt i hope that’s not true, but if you’re right, then at least, even if you fail to avoid the accident through anticipating the other persons mistake, at least you can mitigate the severity of it… Also, as I’ve aged I’ve come to realise that intelligence comes in many different forms. For example, some people are academically smart but socially stupid… maybe these “reasonable, intelligent human beings” shouldn’t be driving when public transport is available
At least a handful of these would be caused by mobile phone use. The prevalence of this in the current day astounds me. I was driving down a main road last week and was behind a young girl in a car that I could see from her rear view mirror was looking at her mobile about 4/5 of the time. Every couple of seconds maybe she’d look up for a spilt second. I was behind her for 15 minutes and she did this the entire time. I’m a little older so I can go more the 60 seconds without involuntarily staring at my phone screen, but for people under 30 it’s a real problem. So much so they don’t even realise they’re doing anything wrong. Until they kill somebody that is…
@@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248 yeah, that’s exactly why nearly all these accidents could be avoided. Take out the rule breaking element, and most of these accidents never would have happened. Unfortunately, that seems to be naive and too much to ask for these days. Its much easier and cheaper just to hide a speed camera on the side of the road then do actual police work, then act surprised when the road toll continues to climb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@HannahFortalezza I expect that sometimes their head does go under the wheels of the car. Naturally we don't see such videos because they would be too gruesome. I wonder if we get a skewed sense of reality seeing only these lucky escapes.
This has taken me almost 30min to watch as I rewind almost every video, there was a a couple of almost captured double crashes as well, as well as a 3rd person view and a 1st person view of an accident.
8:45 - That cop definitely has some explaining to do. That video shows he failed to follow their policy when it comes to a red light intersection. That is to slow to a crawl to make certain its clear before proceeding.
Cops are exempt and you are required to give way if they have their emergency lights on. That person they crashed with is going to get a permanent bolo and get pulled over a lot now.
Agreed… We drive pretty erratically sometimes with lights and sirens, I won’t lie. At the end of the day, it’s everyone’s safety first. If we approach an intersection, slow down, check all traffic is stopped, then proceed through - paramedic student btw. We can’t save lives if we’re flipped over at an intersection.
Started watching this and thought to myself "it's pretty risky driving a car out there, let alone riding a motobike". Get to half way through and receive a callout for an idiot motocyclist who cut himself in two on a stobie pole speeding and running a red. Attend that, halfway back to the SES station come across another collision caused by a senior losing control in a school zone minutes before pickup time. This stuff is real and happens all the time!
I loved watching these, and I got in my first car accident a few days ago. It really puts a new perspective on these videos knowing how surreal it is to be the people in some of those situations.
I think you can't properly turn off traction control on these, but because it's on the same circuit as the ABS, a lot of hoons pull the fuses to do better burnouts
@@Sonshine70s Ah, one of my soapboxes. The safety idiots say that drivers would tend to speed if the camber was correctly shaped towards the inside of the roundabout. They fully acknowledge that the reason they off camber the roundabout is "to slow traffic down" They know trucks going just a bit too fast fall over and crush other motorists. The designers just haven't been taken to Court and asked why they deliberately design killer roundabouts...yet.
@@Sonshine70s Let's lay that one to rest. Before you start building the correctly sloped "embankment" you lay pipes down every 90 degrees of the circle. You place a drain grate above the inner end of the pipe. Water runs down the embankment through the quality high drainage seal (not the average shit stuff) to the grate then by gravity and good design....out the pipes under the "embankment" and into the ditches/pipes you would have needed in any case for an off-camber roundabout. Degree of difficulty,...very little. Though if you live in a freezing and ice plus salted roads environment...it may preclude this shape of roundabout....as the blockage of grates and pipes in freezing weather might be a problem...
Guy at 9:52... what an absolute idiot. Was he just gonna pray he makes it through that intersection unscathed? Feels like where a lot of these crashes were at traffic lights. Do some of these drivers need a reminder what the colour mean?
Definitely at lot of dumb drivers who need to get license taken away from them. Ignoring yellow lights, not indicating and not looking at both sides of road
_"....So there I was right, just casually speeding through a red light while I was sending a text, and this wanker just rammed right into me. Then he had the gall to get out and start yelling at me like he owns the road or something."_

@@ShiftyJesus i saw your reply in my notifications and i was wondering what the context was i just rewatched the clip and now i want to know what the fuck was going through my brain
@@JezOnYT88 thats not the point - it is taught over and over in motorcycle learners training to slow down in these situations. You should slow down anytime you see a car even thinking of turning onto the road you're on. If he was doing his test & an instructor behind didn't see brake lights on, he'd be docked a point.
The thing to consider though is.... Is the driver just leaving their indicator on . Is the driver just a sloppy driver (so many are) Meanwhile you are getting closer and closer. If you start braking then 10:1 the car behind you who is distracted will run you over. It's a tough call at times. If you flinch every time a blinker comes on or every time someone moves a little due to distraction you'll become a mental wreck. I do think he could have noticed the danger 0.5 seconds earlier though but I wouldn't be passing any fault for that. One thing to note is that he was in a turn (see the bike leaning over to the right) . When you are riding a bike you tend to be looking at where you are going to and not to the left. Riders will understand this. With cars you are upright, you have the wheel turned and you can be busy looking to the left, looking at your phone and so on. Car was still 100% in the wrong. Saying that, I'd like to think that I would have spotted that potential hazard . Scanning potential side street hazards is important as well.

@@mimichalek Very common to see on Wombeyan Caves Road Or Jenolan Caves Road. Very tight, winding sections. I've had dozens of close calls along both of them. Too many think nobody goes out there & drive like nuts. Anyone who's driven it will tell you it's a shit place to be if you leave the road.
My general rule for one-lane roads is to be able to stop within half the distance I can see. I'm not sure how well I do at staying within that limit, but I've never hit anything, so there's that
Is it just me but could some of these accidents could have been avoided if people started to react earlier to an accident unfolding in front of them rather than waiting till the last minute to jam on the brakes.
It's pretty depressing how many of these clips are from people just being blind and not paying any attention to what they're doing. Even some of the ones not at fault aren't paying any attention to what's in front of them. 3:30 is a good example, neither person is paying attention to what they or other people are doing, both could have easily avoided any collision, but instead they were (presumably) off in Narnia on some grand adventure.
Actually, 3:30 is totally the cammer's fault. The other person was probablywell aware there was nobody behind them when they decided to make a u-turn, signaled, and made the maneuver only failing to notice the cammer pull out 1 second behind them and jump on the accelerator so they could t-bone a car totally unnecessarily.
@@designerpaper I don't know where that footage is but where I am the unbroken lines don't make u-turns illegal - they just don't allow passing. U-turns are fully legal almost everywhere in my area unless there's a sign saying they're NOT allowed. Most people don't make use of them because it's way safer to just make a few turns, but they're allowed if you do it safely.
@@nickh5081 the u-turner didn't check before they turned. checking it's clear to make a u-turn before you've even pulled over to begin said u-turn means you haven't *actually* checked whether or not it's clear to make a u-turn.
@@scslre How do you know they didn't check? The problem is the cammer came from a position blind to the turner and also unexpected. The u-turn could have been slower and taken more care, but pulling out into the lane and racing into a car doing a u-turn that JUST passed you and is obviously turning and even SIGNALLING (rarest thing in the world, these days) makes the the cammer a complete idiot and 100% at fault in my book.

I think I'd have chased the bastards. Whether that's a good idea or not...
nah mate he was p plater was just wanting insurance
6:19 even stuttered “that’s my livelihood” bloody sad, poor guy. I hope he had insurance
You'd think you'd insure your livelihood.
Didn't look like serious damage
8:33 I guarantee old mate wasn't running over to make sure the driver was ok. FFS people pay attention in roadworks.
Watching that made me feel sick. I've had a couple close calls on the side of the road.
Hope the TC was ok and hope the driver got their licence cancelled.
Possible the driver had a medical issue that caused the accident, but also possible if he didn't before, he did by the time the police arrived.
We've got a shit ton of roadworks going on all around Perth atm and it fucking astounds me how many people ignore the changed speed limits. All it takes is for a fuckwit to speed through and wipe out some poor worker for lives to be turned upside down. I was behind cops the other night going through roadworks and they certainly weren't leading by example...ignored the 60k signs by sitting on 80. If I did the same while they were behind me, I'd be pulled up. "Do as I say, not as I do" mentality. People can be selfish, man.
@@nelliesilvers1210 hey fellow Perthling! Yeah, roadworks and school zones are 2 places I'm happy to have double demerits for, a single slip up could be so devastating there and I'm not the least bit surprised about the cops, I've seen similar things from them.

on one hand they should have been maintaining a safe gap. Also, fuck those blissfully and painfully unaware driving hazards.
With this video evidence surely they cop the bill? or sadly am I wrong.
The amount of cars driving through a red light is absolutely ridiculous. Be safe and take care out there everyone.
Look twice before driving through a green light!
I mean to be fair, they are on here because they are running a red so kinda unsurprising there are lots ;) (jk!!!!)
Absolutely agree so scary!
@@Cheepchipsablegood advice! I need to start double checking.
@@tooltime9260if this was the case, how do so many of them have their licenses? How did they pass the test? Why don’t you blame the Australians that work in the RTA for passing them in the driving tests? this is not about race or if they are foreigners or not. There are stupid drivers everywhere. Regardless. And watching this channel. 90% are Aussies.
As a learner driver, this is a good heads-up for me that roundabouts and traffic lights are where the majority of crashes occur and you need to be extra careful in those places
A bit of advice...don't let arseholes bully you. I see so many P and L platers being tailgated, abused etc by arrogant PsOS who've obviously forgotten they were new to driving themselves at one stage and it pisses me off big time. If someone tries intimidating you, ignore the prick and keep doing your thing.
Stay safe, matey👍🏻.
Not trying to cause you any anxiety btw. You're obv fine. Most of us are patient with the less experienced and happy to help out if needed 😊.
@@nelliesilvers1210 I got tailgated so much on my L's, it's as if they see the L plates and go "Hmm, let me get in closer", so dangerous to sit so close to another car. Anyways, these videos are also good for training your forethought, looking ahead and thinking "Is this car going to pull out in front of me?" For example, I had a green arrow left and a Victorian green P plater did a U-turn into the lane I was turning into. I live on the NSW/VIC border, you cannot do a U-turn at NSW traffic lights, but most traffic lights in VIC allow for a U-turn. So I'm staring at this person and their car, and I knew they were going to U-turn because the second they started turning they were turning too hard for a right turn.
15:33 can we just appreciate that the song kicked in at the exact moment of impact?
Thanks to DCOA my awareness of the potential idiotic behaviour of other motorists has increased by at least 50%.
I always knew there were numbnuts but not this many lol.
i'd say "normal" drivers in australia are a "minority"........:-)......ca 3%......:-)
I was going to say the same thing, lol. Was thinking there are a ton of drivers in these vids that need to lose their license for life! Especially the red light runners! These type KNOW they are breaking the law and don't give a crap! The amount of red light runner close call videos are through the roof! They need a deterrent there for them, or they will just keep doing it, and there will be even more accidents! I know here in Canada we have red light camera's at high accident intersections, and they seem to be doing their job... accidents at those locations are down. Just wondering if anyone there has them? Anyways, safe driving wishes and take care everyone!💖🇨🇦
1:03 Criminal charges there! could even do jail time depending on the injuries! But the biker wont think about the times he broke the laws that day so that way its karma!
My area it’s always the imports that cause accidents and if I see one somewhere else i look at the drivers and yep imports
@@sharons9367 "Imports" eh? An interesting way to try and cover your racism... albeit a very poor attempt

and if you do have to get out of a vehicle draped with high voltage lines...jump clear with both feet together...don't fall...don't touch the vehicle with your hands or any other part of your body...

The wrong doers finally get caught (red light runners, no signalers, queue cutters etc)
Thanks to DCOA I always look left and right before going through green lights 😬
Me too!! If nothing else, I think they have made a lot of us a bit more cautious on the road....
I look both ways before crossing a one way road.
Was in the car with my cousin as a teen. Didn't realise she was coming down from speed and was stoned. Being a passenger with a car running a red light was terrifying. Never got in a car with her again. And now I drive like everyone else on the road is on drugs.
This is a skill I learned when I was a 17yo learner. Same as a ped crossing the road- trust no-one!
I was driving a car that was wiped out at the lights years ago..I'm very cautious.
10:23 love how the guy in the silver car gives a look like he had right of way.
I think he was trying to pull an insurance job and pretend the other car went through a red. Good thing it was caught on a dash cam haha!

@@gtv86942 an absolute prehistoric proto-humanoid.
If you can't enter a motorway at speed, you don't deserve that licence
The front driver had to slow because there was no gap until the semi passed. He/she was then a little delayed in taking off after the semi - so, not so good. But, in the end, the cars behind were following too closely and not looking ahead.
@@AnotherDoug There was plenty of space if they were doing the speed limit, not crawling.
Too freaking right. So many times I've been stuck behind someone doing 60kph on a motorway on ramp, and nearly being involved in a pile up as a result.
@@AnotherDoug Please hand your license in, and request to be permanently banned from operating anything with a wheel on it, including a shopping trolley. You're literally a hazard.
What license?
3:55 how the biker didn’t anticipate that one baffles me.
Yeah there are several others that really aren't the bikes fault but that one was just a total failure of defensive riding. I rode for years and had similar incidents but never so much as a close call because I was always thinking about where I was on the road and what other vehicles were doing.
Though I felt for the one at 7:07. Hard to ride defensively around that.

@@sergeant5848 No care for the driver have they? Hope the little shits got caught and all 3 got charged.
What is with people... I swear every single crash in this video was completely avoidable and caused by some incredibly unintelligent people. Honestly, I have never felt this frustrated watching a dashcam video before.
That pretty much sums up what I was going to say. It’s infuriating
Sure, a lot of them were caused by morons, but a lot of these crashes are probably also caused by perfectly reasonable, intelligent human beings. The problem is that even a second of not paying attention in the right place can cause these accidents. The more you think about road travel and the incredible amount of things that can go wrong every minute, the scarier it gets. I wonder sometimes how I don't get into a car crash either by my or someone else's doing every single time I drive. But driving is a necessity for most Australians as it's the way the cities are built, so it's unavoidable. Best strap in and hope for the best.
@@timothy__tt i hope that’s not true, but if you’re right, then at least, even if you fail to avoid the accident through anticipating the other persons mistake, at least you can mitigate the severity of it… Also, as I’ve aged I’ve come to realise that intelligence comes in many different forms. For example, some people are academically smart but socially stupid… maybe these “reasonable, intelligent human beings” shouldn’t be driving when public transport is available
At least a handful of these would be caused by mobile phone use. The prevalence of this in the current day astounds me. I was driving down a main road last week and was behind a young girl in a car that I could see from her rear view mirror was looking at her mobile about 4/5 of the time. Every couple of seconds maybe she’d look up for a spilt second. I was behind her for 15 minutes and she did this the entire time. I’m a little older so I can go more the 60 seconds without involuntarily staring at my phone screen, but for people under 30 it’s a real problem. So much so they don’t even realise they’re doing anything wrong. Until they kill somebody that is…
@@harmlesscreationsofthegree1248 yeah, that’s exactly why nearly all these accidents could be avoided. Take out the rule breaking element, and most of these accidents never would have happened. Unfortunately, that seems to be naive and too much to ask for these days. Its much easier and cheaper just to hide a speed camera on the side of the road then do actual police work, then act surprised when the road toll continues to climb ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
6:18 "that's my livlihood" fucken hell bro I feel that.
1:52 I always feel sorry for people like her who are clearly paying full attention (very quick reaction) and yet can't avoid the collision due to an idiot

We drive pretty erratically sometimes with lights and sirens, I won’t lie. At the end of the day, it’s everyone’s safety first. If we approach an intersection, slow down, check all traffic is stopped, then proceed through - paramedic student btw.

Ah, one of my soapboxes.

They know trucks going just a bit too fast fall over and crush other motorists.
The designers just haven't been taken to Court and asked why they deliberately design killer roundabouts...yet.
@@Sonshine70s
Let's lay that one to rest.
Before you start building the correctly sloped "embankment" you lay pipes down every 90 degrees of the circle.
You place a drain grate above the inner end of the pipe.
Water runs down the embankment through the quality high drainage seal (not the average shit stuff) to the grate then by gravity and good design....out the pipes under the "embankment" and into the ditches/pipes you would have needed in any case for an off-camber roundabout.
Degree of difficulty,...very little.
Though if you live in a freezing and ice plus salted roads environment...it may preclude this shape of roundabout....as the blockage of grates and pipes in freezing weather might be a problem...
More like crushed tomatoes but yes.

yeah but the car was well in truely doing the wrong thing here. trying to turn at a turn in lane
@@JezOnYT88 thats not the point - it is taught over and over in motorcycle learners training to slow down in these situations. You should slow down anytime you see a car even thinking of turning onto the road you're on. If he was doing his test & an instructor behind didn't see brake lights on, he'd be docked a point.
The thing to consider though is.... Is the driver just leaving their indicator on . Is the driver just a sloppy driver (so many are)
Meanwhile you are getting closer and closer.
If you start braking then 10:1 the car behind you who is distracted will run you over.
It's a tough call at times. If you flinch every time a blinker comes on or every time someone moves a little due to distraction you'll become a mental wreck.
I do think he could have noticed the danger 0.5 seconds earlier though but I wouldn't be passing any fault for that. One thing to note is that he was in a turn (see the bike leaning over to the right) . When you are riding a bike you tend to be looking at where you are going to and not to the left. Riders will understand this. With cars you are upright, you have the wheel turned and you can be busy looking to the left, looking at your phone and so on.
Car was still 100% in the wrong. Saying that, I'd like to think that I would have spotted that potential hazard . Scanning potential side street hazards is important as well.

@@traceypoynter7464 You can see the white Ford Territory driver jump out at the last second
11:27 “pull over make sure they’re alright” I just love our country. We look after our mates. So amazing.
Is it just me but could some of these accidents could have been avoided if people started to react earlier to an accident unfolding in front of them rather than waiting till the last minute to jam on the brakes.
Rolling trucks over on their sides does slow them down pretty fast, but does substantially increase the number of blind spots.
Ha!
It's pretty depressing how many of these clips are from people just being blind and not paying any attention to what they're doing. Even some of the ones not at fault aren't paying any attention to what's in front of them. 3:30 is a good example, neither person is paying attention to what they or other people are doing, both could have easily avoided any collision, but instead they were (presumably) off in Narnia on some grand adventure.
Actually, 3:30 is totally the cammer's fault. The other person was probablywell aware there was nobody behind them when they decided to make a u-turn, signaled, and made the maneuver only failing to notice the cammer pull out 1 second behind them and jump on the accelerator so they could t-bone a car totally unnecessarily.
@@nickh5081 Not completely the cammers fault. The car in front is breaking the law doing a U turn across unbroken lines.
@@designerpaper I don't know where that footage is but where I am the unbroken lines don't make u-turns illegal - they just don't allow passing. U-turns are fully legal almost everywhere in my area unless there's a sign saying they're NOT allowed. Most people don't make use of them because it's way safer to just make a few turns, but they're allowed if you do it safely.
@@nickh5081 the u-turner didn't check before they turned. checking it's clear to make a u-turn before you've even pulled over to begin said u-turn means you haven't *actually* checked whether or not it's clear to make a u-turn.
@@scslre How do you know they didn't check? The problem is the cammer came from a position blind to the turner and also unexpected. The u-turn could have been slower and taken more care, but pulling out into the lane and racing into a car doing a u-turn that JUST passed you and is obviously turning and even SIGNALLING (rarest thing in the world, these days) makes the the cammer a complete idiot and 100% at fault in my book.
0:39 that was a clean Rickroll
Exacly
🕺
I'll never go through a green light again without having a bloody good look each way!
