10 MORE Signs You're a Bad Driver! 

hate when drivers brake when going slight downhill when wide space infront of them

I understood the yellow line thing when I was 4, I was thinking: “hm, it looks like we are driving over the yellow line but we don’t crash, so we don‘t drive over the yellow line“. Imagine being worse at basic thinking than some random 4 year old kid

10. Dear cops, please start going after mfs with bald tires and broken taillights who can actually get people killed and leave our slightly lowered cars tf alone… coilovers and catbacks aren’t gonna cause an accident smfh

The part about braking is on point. Working at a go kart track for 4 years, I learned to drive with my eyes. Meaning, I'm looking at what's going on in front of the driver in front of me first. Then, the driver's momentum or cars behavior. This is why i don't always brake when i see brake lights. Because there's a lot of times people will brake just to brake, without actually slowing down.

My two biggest pet peeves are not using turn signals, and left lane hogs

4:16 u can LITERALLY see it in the side mirrorrrr

I agree some people don't understand the concept of engine breaking. Especially on motorcycles where the effect is multiple times harder because of the low weight, I regularly have cars almost crashing into my rear just because I released the throttle a bit. My 800ccm V4 engine breaks so hard I technically don't have to break at red lights, I would just need to downshift all the way to first gear but because of cars behind me I always lightly tap my break to trigger the light.

I was almost in a headon collision due to someone crossing a mustard line( well double white here in Sweden) because somebody wanted to pass a tractor in a blind turn. Said car also carried a caravan.

Lane hopping is practically how all drivers in Sydney are, on top of everyone speeding.

7:40 - engine braking - I spent about a year with my first EV not realizing that regenerative braking did actually activate the brake light. I was constantly concerned that people tailgating me would hit me if I just needed to make a small speed adjustment that could use regenerative braking. Turns out I just looked like a psycho with brake lights flashing on the highway as I let regen braking do more stopping than I otherwise would have.

Thanks for bringing up semi trucks. If I could add one, it would be: Don’t brake suddenly, ease your way to a slow and steady brake. Trucks cannot slow down as fast as cars, especially when we are weighing 80,000lb. But it’s not just for trucks sake, it’s so that the people behind you have a fair amount of time to brake also. Yes, this means keeping a proper distance from the car In front of you. Crazy right? I mean, it’s not like it’s the ONLY reason why anyone gets rear ended

I had a coworker who was giving me rides say she couldn’t tell if the cars in front of us were braking….. before I know it I caught myself blabbing out “ you can’t see the rear of the cars getting bigger and closer to us smh” she just remained silent after that

#9 is my bane. At this point i actively avoid being the passenger to anyone under the age of 27, and driving any remotely "sporty" or modified vehicle. Also, you should have a #11 for people who drive 10 under the speed limit for 30 minutes in the left most lane and actively try to match the speed of the person to the right so that nobody from behind can get past them.

Number one, following the two car length rule instead of the three second rule.

Fear of body roll is something I never understood, first thing I did with my car was trying how much it rolls on empty roads etc. Like, body roll and hard breaks are the basic things to do to avoid panic once you enter actually dangerous situation.

You're a bad driver if you decide to start driving faster simply because some car is trying to pass you, get over it you're driving slow.

I’m a new driver and these videos really help me out on what to look out for on the road. It’s cool to have someone with a personality explain these things

As a semi truck driver, I have seen so many bad drivers that I have lost count. Even on the interstate out in the middle of nowhere, people still think it's a great idea to pass a truck only to immediately merge in front of them and slow down, not realizing how heavy a fully loaded semi can weigh and low long it takes to stop, in addition to other bone head maneuvers

I was in a parking place, slowed down my car going to a intersection,since I couldn't see the upcoming cars from left and right and then comes a reckless driver from the right in the intersection in high speed without stopping or looking left or right and hits straight up against my car and I ended up paying for the repairs, just because she had the right of way,no matter the situation or how shitty she was driving. That situation was absolutely unavoidable on my part, despite having slowed down and being careful. Also the one who hits a car from behind,will always be the one at fault, even if you get breakchecked. In my country dashcams are illegal too, and can't be used as proof

I am guilty of treating some roads where I live as race tracks, unintentionally. I am actively holding myself from trying to get extra angle at some of the turns as I really like driving and especially the whole concept of racing (no running over white double-crossed lanes of course). However I never attempt doing this in roads I don't know about, especially the blind turns... I think this kicks in naturally for me. I am never a fast driver and know how much my father's Aegea worths for him and my family.

Lol I learned pretty quick about being visible in a parking space with my tiny car. It was more for me not to lose my car in the parking lot but realized that it also serves a safety purpose

Am I a bad driver if I can't even drive?!?!

Here are some things I would like to drop from my experiences driving in Dallas that really grind my gears: 1. Some drivers would rather pick near-death experience than miss their turn/exit. Seriously, how hard is to take few seconds to plan and prepare your route? 2. People who randomly steps on brake for no reason. Either they're too anxious, under the influence, distracted, or lost. To fix that, y'all need to get familiar with the road, never drive impaired, and plan your routes 3. Those on their phones while driving. Pretty self explainatory, it's more dangerous than drunk driving. Yeah, how would you like if I shove your phone up your ass for a full immersive mobile experience? 4. Going too damn slow on the highway. Like 20 below the speed limit of the highway. That'll make people to slam their brake and possibly ending in a crash. This'll also create phantom traffic jams behind as people will start brake chains. Too damn slow is just as dumb as too fast. If you cannot catch up with the speed of the highway, stay on surface streets. 5. Not turning on your headlight or having high beams on all the time. I mean most cars have dashboard telling you on these. And you can easily confirm this visually. So I don't get how people are so careless. When you tried to let them know with headlight signal (off and on quickly), they don't get it. These are what I experienced the most in Dallas. Stay safe y'all!

Wow. With every new episode in this series, I realise US drivers are just bad. A lot of stuff in this and the previous just doesn't apply here in Europe, and I'm not even talking about just Germany with their good lane dicipline

5:29 I love that he specifically calls out Camrys for being able to withstand body roll. I drive the 2001 Camry LE, and nothing makes me happier than the feel of the G's in a perfectly timed 30mph square turn and riding staying within my lane in my morning commute.

I feel like I drive like an asshole because I'm impatient. But I feel like I do a good job at not doing any of these. Especially the first one, my impatients has lead to me discovering the art of NOT lane hopping, and still being significantly faster than 80% of drivers☠️it makes driving more fun, making a game our of the idiot drivers who end up going slower even though they're "driving faster" I speed and weave sometimes too of course but I'm never doing it cause I'm in a rush. Being in a rush leads to accidents. The way I see it, if you're going to be dumb, do it, go have fun, but YOU are the only person you're allowed to put in harm's way

I like the random shot of Logitech G25 pedals at 8:27

Lmao, I just crashed a couple hours ago🤣 Story: so I was late to work and the route I take is some backroads in the mountains (I live in Puerto rico) my dumbass was overtaking other cars, until there was one that did not want to let me pass when I was going yo over take him. So what happened was when I was going to overtake a corolla, he purposely went to the middle of the road and my dumbass still went to pass him but apparently (I didn't know) he stomped on the "gas" yo not let me pass so we were neck and neck. Then a service truck was going about 40 or more mph on a downhill so I wanted to change lanes but the corolla was next to me so I stomped on the brakes (going about 50-60mph) in a car without abs,anti lock, traction control (2002 eclipse) and I just kept going forward until I hit the truck... My 3g eclipse is now totaled, my back hurts so much I barely can walk. This is completely my fault, and I also told the police the whole thing was my fault.

Hey man, you know you actually hit that s2k in that clip with the fender. It’s definitely not a visual effect from recording it or the visual height going over the line.

The first one I see on a daily while driving to and from work and have been guilty of it a few time them felt stupid for it. Being in the metro Atlanta area you realized people can't drive here and are just inconsiderate drivers. Clogged up traffic by spreading to every lane without changing speed just so they can be the first at the light to drive under the speed or just not behind someone they are driving same speed as.

What I learned from this video: A-pillar can be use to position your car.

I have to argue against #1 to a point mainly because I do go in and out of lanes but I end up passing 3-7 cars because they decided to slow down. I completely agree with #4 I believe or stopping the car. I'm with you people shouldn't speed in a car they don't maintain or inspect you should always know the condition of your car so you can drive effectively.

The yellow line vision from the driver's seat is so true, and that's the reason I use first person cam on driving games, to get that feel yk

One thing that pisses me off are people who fly over speedbumps at 50 km/h, and then expect me to do the same when I'm in front of them. They can wreck their suspensions all they want, but I'm crossing speedbumps at 25 to preserve mine.

Driving a Golf in America - always keep the bumper at the end of the parking space.

"WEIGHT REDUCTION BRO", perfect sentence for me✨

In Toronto you actually share the road with the tram and one of the lanes goes onto the tram line

6:36 I was always worried about this happening back when my mom had a Chevy Spark. It would always be hidden in the space between other much bigger cars, and we'd always see people who try to pull into the space and realize "oh s**t, there's a car there." Luckily nobody yeeted into it but I was always worried about that happening.

One of the mods I wanna do on my car is: make the braking and turn signal lights twice or three times brighter. They should come like that from the factory. They should be annoying and jarring so that they do what they were designed to do: catch the other driver's attention. Cars nowadays have those ridiculous lines along their head and taillights that somehow pass certification as turn signal or brake lights

Glad to see a new video, in study hall right now looking for my first car! Glad to see a vid rn lol. Getting my first car in a few months!

I swear, younger kids in highschool that just got their first car and are into cars and racing because of tiktok need to watch videos like this. A friend of mine got hit last week and his ND2 mx5 got totalled because some kid who thought he was Takumi Fujiwara in his early 2000 civic was "drifting" a snake road late at night and lost control and went straight into the other lane. The kid was 17 and already totalled 2 cars.

5:50 Hey initial d wannabe here, one of Takumi's first races he does a 4wheel drift into oncoming traffic without ever leaving his lane. And in the words of every unskilled person to take on Takumi "if he can do it in a junked out 86, then i can do it to in my [insert popular sport coupe]"

Thank you soo much for mentioning the types of drivers who cut into transit or cycle lanes, I don’t like cars but it’s nice to see a car enthusiast who agrees that there’s too many bad/entitled drivers out there.

Gunning it literally 15 seconds after starting... And I mean full fucking throttle.

6:45 I own a Fiat 500, and this is constantly my fear so thanks for adressing that

Holy shit first time I got a notification that early I guess finally algoriyhm has started working again

Lmao I used to be a lot worse at driving, making incomplete stops at stop signs, going 35-40 in residentials, not slowing down at speed bumps, doing high speed turns, etc. After I started a job where I have to drive a work van I abandoned all that reckless shit and now I’ve gotten a lot better.

I LOVE BLADED ANGEL

my mom always says "where am I supposed to go?" so i say "read the signs" and i just learned that she "never reads the signs" so i say "follow the lines" and she don't do that either

Also, if you’re on a 2 lane rural road that might be a bit narrow and there’s an oncoming car, give them some space so that they don’t have to drive partially off the road to get by you.

1:54 The photo is from Russia and here we actually have to use tram lanes to turn left on some intercections. Not always, in my city there are a few intersections where two lanes turn left, one on the tram lane and other on just a road

This video screams "BIG ALTIMA ENERGY"

The way I learned to drive was a giant ford so putting your fender over the line was the way I learned

The ones who dont use lights/headlights during heavy rain........

The blind turns I usually take on my way home from work I often pass the speed limit to get to home quickly that the realization from all that down force for going fast that I learned how scary it is plus after many incidents that took in the same turn made me think clearly on driving safely

2 things that are so annoying that I see every single day: when people change lanes AND THEN signal when they’re halfway over. Just don’t even signal at that point you’re already in the other lane! Also when people step on the brakes 12 times in 10 seconds especially when nobody’s in front of them. If you drive properly, your engine will slow you down as much as you feasibly need to. No need wear your brakes out by turning your brake lights into a strobe light.

Engine braking prohibited?? Tf is this sign

That Gran Turismo music always goes hard, that sax is 👌

I cross the yellow when I can see the other side and know I won’t hurt myself or other people. It’s fun hitting the right corners and using the whole road when you can

Lane switching can work. But only when you learn the traffic patterns on a route you use regularly.

#9! I can relate to #9 so damn much!! I have a friend who drives a Yaris and the dude literally NEVER drives without having at least one hand GLUED to an iPhone. And you can very obviously see that it was affecting his driving, whether that’s delayed reaction times or drifting into other lanes during bends. He deadass told me that he’d be even worse had he not used his phone as a fidgeting device. The worst part? His car not only had a phone mount, IT ALSO HAD CARPLAY. I’m driving myself from now on. I may have some rough edges to polish in my driving, but I sure as hell keep both hands on the wheel and keep my phone away or on a proper phone mount for directions…

In order to counter incoming bad drivers crossing yellow lines, you should hunk before each blind curve as a precaution. Or, you can briefly cross the yellow lines just right before the blind right-hand curve in order to scare that car to back away from crossing the yellow lines.

Small note on #2 Many places in Europe the tram tracks are actually part of the road and drivers are allowed to use them. Countries such as Hungary and Romania that is an everyday thing especially in bigger cities.

6:55 This is something I've never understood. It makes no sense to search for a closer parking spot in the Walmart lot for 15 minutes to save yourself 200 extra steps when you're about to go inside and walk, often times, over a mile. My mom always did this when I was a kid, and it always confused me. Now, anytime I'm driving with her, I park literally as far away as I possibly can like the little pick I am lol

2 more: when you back out of a parking space, "ease" out so that people can see you're coming out (don't just back out), and 2), when driving down the highway, don't ever jump into another lane immediately because the lane you're driving in has a stopped/almost stopped vehicle, leaving the car behind having to slam on their brakes to avoid smashing into a stopped car that was just "revealed" to them (usually with no signal)...

Crossing the yellow story time: Was working for a towing company back when the c8 was just starting to be delivered. Less than 2 weeks later, I roll in to Copart to drop off a load and I see a new c8 with the driver's side ripped down and the rear wheel missing. Dude had it in sport mode and I figured dude didn't know how to handle it and wiped out.... TURNS OUT, though... that he was on the Dragon, and he was just fine. This kid in a shitbox miata crossed and wiped him out (I saw the news article on it later that day). First total loss of a c8 I think it was

Man ,one of my Friends left the shop with brand new tires fitted and got a ticket for worn tires an hour later. Just an anecdote of the shitty police in my country.

7:00 or pull all the way in at best at a really good spot between two large vehicles, get a dashcam and enjoy looking at all the people that wanted to park there.

8:54 That was unexpected Domestic Girlfriend reference lol

WHEN PEOPLE RIDE THEIR BREAKS!

OK

Damn my man going straight for the sequel, **Oversea Girlfriend**

I actually have some experience with the "yeeting" cars into parking spots. I parked my Miata in a target and some bozo in a lifted truck pulled into the parking spot behind mine, but pulled so far forward his front bumper was over my trunk

My ex wife was horrible. Destroyed car after car. Her father was no better. In the 5 yrs i was with her she destroyed 7 cars and her father destroy 3. He claimed the accidents were not his fault. Your fault or not its still a accident. 90% are preventable if use defencive driving. And hard braking happens less if stay back from others and watch ahead

one time i was behind a truck with a trailer that wasn't plugged in, so their lights couldn't turn on. i could still easily tell that they were braking because it's not hard to see a car slowing down. brake lights are helpful but i never solely rely on them, i rely on the actual speed of cars. the main reason for this is because my car is very light and has good brakes, so if i start smoothly braking immediately when i see lights i still am way too far behind them because my car just comes to a stop quickly. i mainly just use brake lights as an indicator to be prepared to brake. this practice is very helpful when you're behind a vehicle whose brake lights aren't engaging for whatever reason

1:54 I can imagine that voice coming from left lane hogs in Pickup trucks on i-25 in Colorado. "Whut, i'm doin the speed limit, get off mah case"

7:18 the only reason engine braking is prohibited in cities is cause of the noise from a Jake brake lol so your gasser can do it regardless

The domestic girlfriend reference. Man of culture.

not much more low key gratifying than being in a grocery getter and no drama following someone who thinks they are driving on the edge doing racing lines on all the corners.

Absolutely love the roasting of Atlanta. So true

In trucks that are newer there is a system that engages the brake lights when the engine brake is activated. As well as on buses equipped with an Exhaust Brake it is supposed to activate the brake lights indicating they are slowing down because it’s fully capable of bringing the vehicle to a complete stop with minimal actual braking

5:21 Nezuko spotted

As a Military Vic driver it is the funnest thing to put my vic on cruise control on the highway and pass the #1 types of drivers

I do Lane hopping because in Germany you have to drive in the most right lane and only pass someone on the left, so driving on the right lane, hopp in the middle, hopp in the left one (only if someone is also driving in the middle) pass them and back to the right

Pepole littereally get fined when they drive on the bus lane in the UK

1:54 I understand that it is unintended, but in Russia (where this picture is from) you are LEGALY REQUIRED to turn left on an intersection from the tram lane UNLESS there is a sign that says otherwise. 3:49 Here your left front wheel is on the oncoming lane

7:20 interesting point about brake lights. Apparently there's an error in some EV'S where if you use regenerative braking, the tail lights don't come on. So say you're crawling in traffic (but not slow enough for creep mode) and don't apply the brake manually, so the car effectively engine brakes. The tail lights don't light up. Meaning the car behind you, doesn't know that you're suddenly about to go from 30 to 10 or 0 in the next 5 seconds. Wouldn't be surprised if there is an increase in low speed nose to tails because of this flaw.

There are people in my city who think it's funny to swerve into an incoming lane and drive at you head on at high speeds, then swerve back.

"why is there no tread on your tires?" "They are slicks now, more *grip* "

9:03 Oh the Murcielago dash lit up like a christmas tree

about the tram lane. In Oslo the tram shares lane with the cars in some spots

At 1:51 I’m pretty sure that is a tram line, which from my understanding of the trams in Melbourne, you are allowed in the tram lane if you need to avoid an obstacle or your trying to turn right but only for 50 meters

1) doing so generally reduces my commute by half, and you have to constantly be dodging people turning left and parked cars, otherwise you will sit through a light 5 or 6 times

There's a good intelligence test on my regular commute. About 10% of drivers will use a small retail park as a queue jump. Even though it only saves maybe 30 seconds of slow rolling traffic. And never realising that they are the ones creating the queue in the first place by having to merge back in.

as a truck driver and a car guy thank you for making this video 👍👍👍

Most annoying thing is a 2 lane interstate where someone gets in the left lane and goes the same speed as the person in the right. Just suck it up and speed up for 5 seconds to get over

That's a real high IQ description there, mr Bladed Angel

Every time i decide to not jump in the lane thats moving during traffic, that lane always moves up like crazy and my dumb ass is sitting there wishing i was up there

Where i live crossing the yellow light only time allowed is if quick stopping would potentially cause an accident with a car close behind you
