In clip number 13, 72 year old Michael Copeland was murdered by Joshua Fields as a result of road rage. I feel that out of respect for the family this clip should be removed.
Locked away in solitary confinement, with absolutely no contact with another human being, in permanent darkness, for the term of their natural life. What they did negates any right to the privilege of human kindness and civility. Forever.
@@sirisaac6125 I agree. And the fact that they knew they hit the other car off the road and still kept driving like nothing happened makes me the most upset
This channel has taught me three things. People don't like admitting fault, idiots are everywhere and way too many people don't know the difference in brake and break.
You’re first point reminded me of something funny. In the back of my insurance card it says during an accident DO NOT admit fault even if you believe you might be. Pretty much insurance companies are rather preferring you lie so that they are not forced to pay out the other party 😂
@@alexs.818 Not so much lying, rather not incriminating yourself. Make the other side prove their case. The best thing is to say as little as possible, whether you are at fault or not.
The sad thing is the dumbass was probably laughing all the way until he got home, bragged about it, and thought he was in the right. Unfortunately people in this world are selfish retards and morons who can’t be taught how to think normally and rationally
@Rick Something No excuse. At some point virtually EVERYONE gets in a situation where they 'impede' traffic for a short time. It doesn't justify roadrage.🤨
#13 actually made me cry. How can someone be so inhumane over a driving lane? What’s the point? People like that deserve to be in prison for a long long time
@The Guns and glory Show Are you kidding me? You are insane and need to be put away from the rest of society for believing murder is the answer to somebody "driving slow". I can't even comprehend what kind of individual you are for saying that, and hope that somehow, you stop seeing the light of day...
@The Guns and glory Show seek therapy bro, murder is not the solution to the problem. How would u feel if one of ur friends or family members were being slow in the left lane, and someone killed them? would you still think its justified?
@The Guns and glory Show I think you gotta open your eyes man, the vehicle in front of the one that got killed was the one slowing down both of them behind. Either way what your saying is no way of thinking, this isn't teaching anyone anything but reinforcing your twisted and jaded ideas. I'm sure you've been a problem all your life for some people, like most people. Get these words "left lane losers" out of your mind and you'll stop seeing them so often, it's really not as big of a deal as you make it out to be if you aren't so irrationally mad at them. If you're at the point in your life that you think it's ok to kill someone that annoys you a little bit, i think it's time to ask yourself what your problem is, and it's not the guy you feel is driving too slow in the left lane.
If your talking about the semi in the first clip there’s no way you could stop a loaded truck going that fast quick so idk what kind of brain injuries you got but that’s about retarded
Genuinely depends assuming road is hot thr car either had poor brakes, brake fade, or braking too suddenly could have cause another driver behind them to get invovled aswell
@@genuinelyspoken6611 that's true but to be honest most ppl are selfish self centered and have no common sense so I tend to think the opposite because it's mostly the case
Well for semi trucks especially when they get up to speed it takes awhile to stop, but for alot of the cars in these videos they definitely would rather lay on the horn than hit their breaks
#1 was a perfect example of playing stupid games and winning stupid prizes. #13 was so sad to see. They caught the guy who did it but I couldn't find what happened to him.
Looks like he pleaded no contest to vehicular homocide? All I can really find about him are footnotes at the bottom of article about other people being charged. His name is Joshua Adam Fields, he was 40 at the time of the accident.
I can't believe that US semi trailers don't have side-bars to keep four-wheelers out of the gap between the axles - look at images of European truck trailers to see what's missing on the US ones.
Ok boys an girls what did we learn today? A turn signal does not mean you can automatically come over!!! The lack of driving ability most people have these days is insane!!
Too many people have no idea just how limited their ability is when high speeds and tight spaces are involved. Reaction time and stopping distances in real life aren't anything like movies and tv...
@@nboddie1036 or that inertia and mass exist while driving!! So many treat driving as another right they can take advantage of, when Its a privilege many need revoked!!
I've met people with two brain cells fighting for 3rd place and still never seen anyone so stupid they thought a turn signal gives them the right or way and priority on the road.
some people don't learn. I'm waiting for someone to say they need to "teach those bad drivers a lesson." First sign of someone who won't learn or improve.
I am truly glad I have retired from trucking after 30 years. From what I’ve seen there’s a few truckers that could have slowed down to prevent from the accident.
Yes I was looking for this comment! Buddy was FLYING on wet roads with traffic clearly stopped. 57mph is WAY too fast to be pulling up on a line of brake lights at. Smh. I’m glad he was ticketed, but disappointed that he doesn’t understand why he did was wrong.
@@lrich8181 exactly. And if you go though a truck or training school they instill that into you to look at mirrors every 15 seconds, look high, look low, and look far.
Exactly. They had a plenty of time to see the car sitting there with traffic next to it. All they had to do was slow tf down instead of screaming like an idiot
@@onefastgmc You vastly underestimate the ability to stop a fully loaded rig on wet roads. You’re looking at 600+feet to stop in those road conditions at that speed.
CB was one of the original instant messengers. It was as addicting to me as a li'l kid in the 70s as IRC was in the early 90s, and then apparently reddit and RU-vid are now. No wonder I've never had healthy sleep patterns.
#13 broke my heart. I had some crazy people try to purposely side swipe me off the road not even two weeks ago, and then they followed me and harassed me until I took a picture of their license tag (it was the white slip cause it was that damn new!) I'm ordering a dash cam now Also, that pompous trooper telling the trucker with 80,000lbs of freight to ditch the truck?! um, there's guard rails and a steep ass drop... and how exactly do you follow TOO CLOSE TO A PARKED CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY?????
@The Guns and glory Show The guy going slow wasn’t the one who died, you idiot. The guy tailgating the slow one was the one that the white SUV ran off the road. It was bad driving all around, honestly. And you can stop obsessively posting this comment about how you’re glad an old man is dead. We get it, you’re edgy.
#29 pretty much common sense as truck driver that you do not take the inside turning lane. If you do you should prepare and take note of the tracking of other trailers in the outside lane. That was easily preventable.
I'm a professional and I saw that before they even approached the turn. It's not the flatbed driver's fault. We are supposed to be professional driver's, what a disgrace 😤
I was surprised myself. He should have known what that trailer would do seeing as how he's a trucker himself. And then to post his stupidity on youtube. SMH
A buddy's dad was a trucker. One day he saw a little old lady in a tiny convertible (MG, I think he said) merge onto a highway- behind a tractor, under the flatbed. It was just high enough- no damage to her car at that point. Buddy's dad calls the guy on CB. "I'm going to tell you something, and when I do, DO NOT hit your brakes. "Okay." "There is a car driving under your trailer." Other driver immediately hits the brakes, and the car hits the back of the tractor. When buddy's dad went to check on her, she said "I'm so glad he stopped!" Apparently when she realized she was under the trailer she froze up and had no idea what to do.
@@ostlandr That's insane! Reminds me of the scene from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation when the Griswald's merge under the trailer during the opening scene.
I'll never understand how people can break-check a vehicle that's able to compress their car into 1/10 of its original length and still think "Yeah, that's a clever idea!"
It's appalling! You'd think that a person who went through all the trouble, time, and money to obtain a license would have a basic understanding of physics and the ability of a semi to turn you into chunky soup.
6:40 stopped my heart. It's insane how someone can get killed for going too slow in the passing, yet the other lane was open enough to pass. It breaks my heart how selfish people are. That's insane
@@coleward well, for starters, you have no proof of that. So you shouldn’t be saying it. You have no clue what was going on here, or who did what. With that being said, you’ve missed the point. It’s not murder. 😂 IF it was anything, keyword there, that would be manslaughter.
@@Carl_McMelvin that fellas gonna get manslaughter minimum along with a whole host of reckless driving charges. I can see an a case for 3rd degree here, but will likely be ruled as voluntary manslaughter. The actions taken were in my pinion definately malicious, which woukd need to be proven in a court. with this video, its a coin toss. doesnt change the fact that its a horrible situation cased by the white cars ego and either negligence or malic which killed a man.
The crash @ 10:06 is why you leave your hazards OFF in the goddamn rain. If you can't drive, get off the road. No brake lights on the clown that was STOPPED.
The first one was hilarious. He brake checked you for the truck going "to slow" in the fast lane but trucks have a right to overtake others also. And he paid the price. That was FUNNY and I have been hanging out to see some smart ass brake check a truck and get rammed. Thanks!
There is no conclusion that Joshua Fields was ever charged or found guilty of this crime in Cumberland, Tenneesse, at Christmas time 2021. RiP Micheal Copeland
Number 13 is devastating I first hand know the experience of losing someone to a motor vehicle incident. Not because of road rage though. But honestly if these video have taught me anything all the dashcam footage I watch is if someone is driving crazy just let them pass you. Don’t use your horn unless you absolutely have to. You never know how the person is going to react and few second interaction driving isn’t worth potentially losing your life.
#13 is exactly why we need to cherish every moment with our loved ones. RIP to the 72 year old. We need more people to come together and report things, follow them to get the plate, something to bring justice to those who need it.
Dave from Smart Trucking has said he never went over 60mph. That probably kept him out of a ton of drama. Well, other than that one time with a Mini Cooper trying to cut in on his button-hook turn.
#1 As satisfying as that was, the truck driver clearly had enough time to slow and avoid the accident but instead chose to keep accelerating. He's extremely lucky the other driver didn't call the police.
Nope, the brake checker started their brake check maneouvre approximately 40 feet in front of the truck, even if it was running empty (which is unlikely) the truck was never gonna be able to slow down quickly enough to avoid that collision. That, and the fact they have so many blind spots, is precisely why we're supposed to give these vehicles plenty of space on the road.
@@martindixon54 if you compare the position on the truck on the right and the car that was breaking The car doesn't appear to be sliding back in position compared to the right hand truck. Looks like the transport truck in the left wanted to hit him and decided not to apply brakes.
1:01 even after the good lord saved him from truck-jitsu, the driver still wanted to lie about running the light... I'm guessing he didn't learn his lesson at the time 😂
13 would not have happened if people had proper lane discipline and did not camp in the left lane. THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING AND IF YOU ARE NOT PASSING YOU ARE INCITING ROAD RAGE
@@OperatorKregs it just sucks because a lot of people just aren’t educated on what lanes are actually for. So they end up causing anger possibly 4 or 5 cars back and have no clue. Frustrating
Trucks and trailers vary in weight, guy. Even a semi cab alone can’t stop like a passenger vehicle, let alone an 18 wheeler with a full load of anything from feathers to lead. And road conditions aren’t always obvious in videos.
I wish everyone would realize that a majority of trucks are equipped with cameras and driven by professional drivers! Quit thinking your 4000 lb car/truck will in a battle with 80,000 lbs. Give these drivers all the room they want and need! Thank you to all of the professional drivers keeping our country running!
Common sense would say they're professional drivers, reality is different. Common sense died back in the realistic people days. Smh. Mad props to the gear jammers all the same. Stay safe yall. (Head on a swivel not in your phone)
9:37 Trucker is just a dick here. Traffic stopped. But instead of letting the guy in, he waits for him to be HALF WAY MERGED to step on the gas. Just let him in. Its 5 damn seconds.
1:21 You not only "see" that tiny flash of telltale fire - as the outer left rear tyre suffers a catastrophic blow out, but can hear the BANG on the dash-cam inside this truck following. Poor sod didn't have a chance to stop the ensuing jackknife, or the wiping over - of the 3rd car ahead, that was by then, alongside it.
15:27. And somehow the videos missing of whatever it was that you did to make this driver so angry. Funny how you don’t show that. Maybe hogging the left lane for miles and miles?
Ive been driving for 14 yrs now and i honestly dont know how much more i can mentally take. Not blaming anyone with this statement. But the bs we take 24/7 is beyond exhausting
Cop once told me a trucker lost his wife to cancer Lost his house to not working and paying for treatments 1st day back at work a person pulls infront of his truck and slams the brakes to cause a payout ...The trucker threw the driver over the overpass into another highway The "victim" has 3 prior crashes with in 2 year in the country .....
The driver in clip 9 had an angel on his shoulder. I have no idea how he didn’t hit the ABF guy. My husband drives for a moving company like his dad did and this is the kind of drivers I dread. Of course, his response is “I know how to drive and I can’t help the other idiots”.
#13 is a really brutal crash, good lord. Good tip in general for those stupid lane change accidents without spins: If they are so impatient just let them drive. Let them get ahead and try to defuse the situation, or you get a unneeded crash like 10:20
One thing we can also take from the dashcam videos is that winter tires are not created equal. Is it all-season or purpose made winter tires (considering clip 16). At 30 mph (around 50 km/h) you should be able to stop a lot faster, even on icy roads if you have proper winter tires.
Number one was, in my opinion, the best way to show that asshole to better not challenge a Semi. Even when the collision was unintended. And 13 was, in my eyes, murder. Nothing less!
Lots of people don't need to be driving at all much love to the truck drivers they have to deal with idiots everyday no telling how many people die from road rage everyday
10:05 she said I’m not sure how I got charged 😂 1 thing I hate is when new drivers use the “I’m 80,000 pounds I can’t stop” excuse. A true professional is aware and avoids situations before they can happen. 4 ways brake lights and rainy conditions and she wants to barrel thru RIDICULOUS!! GET HER OFF THE ROAD She makes Us True Truckers look like fools.
2:15 Truck was traveling and had the right of way, parked truck pulled out in front of it and continued even after the truck flashed its high beams. It was not a Mario race track move, it was an arrogant ahole who pulled out instead of waiting his turn. Same driver probably stops on highway to piss and pulls off the shoulder doing 20 mph into 70mph traffic too. I used to see it happen at least once every day and often in front of me. These idiots driving like the 4-wheelers caught on dashcams are why I no longer drive.
Just a quick question… is the FedEx truck in clip 23 going that fast or is the video running a little fast to not take forever to show what happened? If its not edited for time that just shows how much the incline is to start with and I am surprised the driver got out without being injured.
My grandfather got a new semi truck earlier this year and not even like 2 weeks after he got it, it was in the shop cause another truck hit him then ran and messed up the front of his truck sadly I don’t have the video and this is why semi’s are having dash cams built in now. My grandfather was ok and the other trucks company was contacted.
It's amazing how many truckers act like entitled 4-wheelers these days... You are big, heavy, and long, act like it. And to all the 4-wheelers on the road, if you make our life easier, we will make your life easier, give us some space, and don't tailgate us, you put yourself in danger just to save 3-5 seconds.
I am exposed to this activity everyday. 28 years of driving a Semi, you will see Car drivers that are absolutely oblivious to Semis… we get the “Finger” on a daily basis.
I'll be there first to admit that I get really irritated when a big rig gets in the hammer lane and becomes a rolling road block. But I damn sure don't mess around with the laws of gross tonnage. That's just stupid.
