Something a little different to our normal videos, Hope you enjoy it. Not all doom and gloom down here on the roads. If you can help someone out safely, be a mate and do so!
Thank you so much for this video. I have been having a few bad days and this reminded me about why I love Australia so much. Thanks everyone for being a great bunch of true blue Aussies!!
As soon as I saw the beginning of the clip I was already smiling, knowing I would hear that earnest young fella thank old mate for grabbing his ball. Most wholesome clip on the channel.
@** the point is that he didnt give a shit about the money or damage to his car, all that material bullshit. he cared about making sure the roads were safe for everyone, and that the driver could get help.
I mean anyone should do that cause that car could’ve hurt themselves or others. A bit of money spent to a save a life/lives or someone’s health is money well spent.
@@ginofoogle6944 I’ve seen people dead in the street and seen no cars going past make an attempt to stop. I saw someone get crushed when all that was required to help them up was people having the inconvenience of a two minute wait. People say they care about others but when it comes down to it that’s just not the case.
People think that recording and posting good deeds negates the act, but I think its important to share positive things to encourage others to do the same in their own day to day lives.
Doing the act just for the purpose of recording and sharing it is a rather dog, attention-seeking move. But all these acts were spontaneous, and they just happened to be recording, so good on em.
The people who post photos pretending to do it are the dogs. Posting a video online is fine. Going out of your way to film it to specifically put it online is a bit shit.
Haha... I was wondering if I was the only one that felt that way. Hate watching this channel the day before I have to drive from Gympie down to Brisbane Airport on the Bruce Hwy and Gateway. 😅
That fella in the black triton deserves some sort of recognition for what he did! What an awesome guy! I don't drink but I would certainly buy him a beer for his actions!!
For someone that was overseas for over a year and just got back I've realised we look out for each other, we've got each other's back. Proud to be Australian
@@Lauren-vj6mc just like my friend who met his girlfriend by jumping beside her, she had an umbrella and he didn't,when it was raining. 'hi, you got room for one more'. We still joke that he probably planned to kill her
I'm Japanese. I live in QLD Aussie is gentle and They know How to enjoy Life. my English isn't good well, but thank you for always getting along with me. I love Aussie and Australia🇦🇺
As a proffesional driver that always tries to be kind and considerate on the road, with very little reciprocation from fellow road users, I needed this today. Let's make this kind of compilation a regular thing, can we?
I once stopped to push/clutch start a guys car and he just drove off no wave or thanks.... I was 19 5"2 all of 50kgs and this was a commodore! You don't do these things for the recognition, but a wave would have been nice, thinking maybe he was embarrassed to have needed help from a female?!
@@jangobaby6812 that was nice of you to help him. I dont think he was embarrassed to wave thank you. He was either an arrogant pr#&k, probably in a rush, or simply distracted by your beauty. A lot of men can easily be intimidated by beautiful women. After all, females are god's most beautiful creation. Apart from me, of course! 🤣 I hope you got some good karama in return for that, have a good day gorgeous 👍🇦🇺😃
One does good because it’s right, not for brownie points with Karma or a pat on the back. It can leave you deflated if you were expecting to be thanked or emotionally rewarded. Do it for oneself. Just maybe the person you help will pay it forward someday & really save someone or help in a significant way. You will never know, but you were apart of that. And if you believe what’s goes around, that’s when “karma” happens.
15:45 Others have rightly commented on the decency of the gentleman closing an unlatched bonnet, may I also point out that I'm extremely impressed he was able to see that in his rear view and decide on immediate action.
@Tory Lanez Tory, there is a main latch which holds the bonnet (hood) shut tightly in the correct place as the designer intended. The fact that the bonnet was up means that it either was on the safety latch (the one that should hold if the main latch let's go but should NOT be relied on) or the bonnet is just resting down through gravity...and will flick back at speed.....which can break the windscreen and which blanks out forward visibility... As an exercise on a quiet road, try briefly pretending that your bonnet covers the windscreen and look out through your side window at the white centre lines...and try driving along keeping the right distance from the centre line...as if you can't see forward...that will prepare you for a bonnet flicking back some day in the future.... It's more difficult on a dirt road, of course...
@Tory Lanez You were both lucky and slightly insane. a small length of chain with a padlock could have ensured the bonnet stayed down while also making it secure against thieves...
Tritons have to be good for something right? Nah in all seriousness, damaging your own car for someone else's safety is a pretty good thing to do. Hope that guy bought him a beer or something at least
@@suubierex9396 Flash Them? Usually indicates you're after something.. Back in the day, Unmarked VLs used to flash their headlights if they wanted to pull you over, lol
I'm impressed that old mate noticed that the bonnet on the car behind him wasn't shut properly. Good eyes. Love the lady's "what are you....?! oh THANKYOU!!"
That first clip with the Ball coming on to the road ...the Kid that said "Thank you Very Much" who ever is his mum or dad Pat yourself on the back doing a great job there .
A few tears came out of my eyes during this video, as it’s videos like these that help restore my faith in humanity. Despite all the terrible things going on in the world right now, there are still decent, loving and caring people out there.
Ι've been living in Australia for 15 years now and yeah, I can confirm, this country exhibits a remarkable lack of a-holes. They exist, but they're few and far between. Love you Australia.
Absolute legends, one and all. Esp the guy in the black Triton, he may have saved one or several lives, there with his selfless sacrifice of his ute's rear end. Also nice to see animals being protected, even snakes, which people used to ignorantly just kill.
You could tell the cop didn't care either. He was so rude. Would be funny to see someone treat that dog the way he treated that kind gentleman. Fuckin flog. Demanding respect, yet never gives it. 🤧🤣🤣🤣
Most Aussies are pretty helpful, everytime my old beat up car broke down, it was only minutes before people rushed to help me get it to the side of the road. Thankfully now I finally can afford a decent car and my days of breaking down on the regular are behind me.
I'm a French girl that has been living here in Australia for 3 years and a half now - and I must say Australian people have been some of the kindest, nicest people I have ever met in my life. They just have that general ray of sunshine, natural, true positivity and kindness that radiates all around them...I have had the luck to not have a single, a single negative experience since I have been here. Always people have been helpful, friendly, nice. I came here to live with my Aussie partner, and even he is more weary that I am. He often tells me ''you shouldn't speak with these people'' or ''it's not safe to talk with strangers'' ''come on, let's go'' etc.He is very protective in a way, ''dont get out of the car'' if I see a situation where I can help..but you know what? I make friends with strangers everywhere I go, I've always had the most pleasant conversations, the nicest encounters even with people you'd consider scary like homeless people, people who suffer from drug addictions, most likely gang affiliated people (bikies). I suppose it's only he's become jaded with all he's seen happen and I don't blame him. I know I must stick out like a sore thumb - there's some thing that give me away like having trouble operating the slurpee machine at the servo - or not knowing how certain things work... But people take that opportunity to talk to me, and we joke around, etc. I like to always buy meal or drinks for two when I go out, and give half to the first person in need I may meet on my way. It can be very warm outside, people need to keep hydrated. It's not like I picked it up here. I used to do similar things in France - I was even bolder with my good deeds because I had a better grasps on the culture, the language, etc. But kindness knows no boundaries, has no preferred language. I watch these videos because I am learning to drive here - in Paris it was easier to just rely on transport - so that I can get a decent job. I've been finishing my studies here - and hoping I will soon get the chance to work and drive alongside you, even though the road is long to get there, I am hopeful that I can also do my part. I just want you guys to know - it's all relative - to your eyes, you may see a lot of anger, aggression in your daily life, you may not think fondly of your own country, or people - but as an outsider, let me tell you I have never felt more welcomed, more at peace than here. And maybe it's because you are harsher on yourselves, you want to keep on moving up, but it's good to appreciate all the good deeds and things we have in life that may go unnoticed. I used to feel the same way about France - discouraged, hopeless that things would not get better... But all in all, She'll be aright, mates.
Your attitude will protect you...see Itchy Boots channel...also a woman travelling alone in the world...and through regions many have said are too dangerous...but she lives her life...and takes us along for the adventure.
Glad to hear that you had a good time down here and like you said Aussies are a lovely bunch, well largely. The driving here, however, is some of the worst I have ever experienced. France has way more better drivers and driving culture than Oz and by a long shot. In fact, most of Europe has really patient drivers who are very patient. I love driving in the UK a lot. You probably don't see it like this yet because you're just learning to drive now. You'll quickly change your mind soon as you hit the roads. Absolutely chaotic here.
just a shame that most people with too much money or aged under 40 only think of themselves and try and abuse and bully others.. UK is now frightening with levels of public aggression..
I agree, but there always seems to be a feeling of awkwardness that goes along with it somehow. At least for me. I don’t like thinking someone might feel they owe me something, so I usually clear out pretty quickly afterwards, as pretty much everyone did here. Is it just me, or do other people feel weird about approaching those in need of help??? It feels good yes, but there’s another feeling too, that’s not so good. Perhaps if it happened more often, people helping other people, perhaps then it might not feel so foreign... perhaps it’s just me
@@mEatToLive ..like intruding on someone's vulnerability......If its done with sensitivity and humility, bordering on apologetic embarrassment initially, I am sure u will always be well received - from there a rapport can be established if time allows :)
As an Aussie this makes me very proud and happy to call myself australian. I'm currently on my l's so when I see someone I can help on the road I'm gonna do it.
Actually, it shows the kindness of the police that is wonderful to see, and glad to know there is a lot of good deeds being done out there, that are noticed.
@@Markus_Andrew some of those NSW rural roads are terrible as are some of our Qld roads. I used to drive between Murwillumbah and Grafton and it was like riding a bucking bull.
Some of our roads are pretty rough, but yeah, usually they get patched soon after a problem shows up. Quite often have roadworks cause somethings getting patched😂😂
Love how us Aussies are more than happy to lend a hand. I was taught by my Dad from a young child to always give a wave of either thank you or your welcome when driving on our roads. Good onya Aussies 👍🏼
I went to Poland (from Australia), briefly to Gdansk by ferry from Sweden, a few days, and Polish people were really nice to us. We had a couple of incidents, left something in a taxi, that sort of thing, and the Polish people were so eager to make sure we got our belongings back. They seemed so happy to have us in their country. I have really fond memories of Poland because of it.
Copper on his first day: okay stick to protocol, pull some civilian up, approach their car ask them to open boot. Proceeded to be pulled over by a civilian, they approach him and tell him to shut his boot Copper: Fuck
I had a very similar thing happen at traffic lights when I noticed the boot of a police car was all the way up and beeped at them as I sat beside them. I get a puzzled look and followed them and beep again. They stop I park behind them and ask “Don’t you use your rear vision mirror?”. Response “Oh Shit”. That was my response to “Oh Shit, I didn’t realise what they carried in the boot before”.
It really doesn't hurt to help a stranger, we can all learn from good deeds like these. Our busy lives really won't suffer too much with a little patience and courtesy towards others.
@@twistyt7374 Sure there absolutely is. It just doesn’t seem to be as popular to view videos of decent human behaviour as compared to the nasty things that people sometimes do. With people’s good behaviours, it doesn’t require some “fight or flight” learning response/plan from the viewer, it’s just something to enjoy and it restores faith in our fellow man, but it is not as critical for survival... or so we think. Actually, learning or being reminded to practice calm, helpful, appreciative, and good humoured responses, in as many situations as possible, is very good, especially in tougher times.
I felt so proud of us Aussies doing the good deed for those that can't help themselves, and that copper at the end was the MAN. That little one was so upset in losing her balloon...
I'm in New Zealand but I've been to Australia 4 times over the years and have always enjoyed my time there. I also find Aussies to be generally kind and down to earth. They also have an awesome sense of humor.
I met these two New Zealanders that were the nicest girls ever. We were doing a course together and they found out it was the course convenors birthday so they ended up going to the local Coles and buying a lot of food and a cake for the guy and everyone in the course. I had made friends with these two girls as well and they drove me home often and bought me pizza once as well. I honestly hope Australia and New Zealand stays this way forever. I like that our countries are know for being some of the kindest people and I hope more people here become nicer too to offset the times where there are actually some crappy people around.
Australians get along famously with New Zealanders. We talk so much crap with each other and have a good time. We give them shit about Cricket, they give us shit about Rugby Union. It's all in good fun. I also love Islanders, so whether they are from Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, new Zealand, Hawaii, Papua New Guinea or anywhere else, I love talking to them.
@@blacksheep9772 There's a joke there about the sheep trying to get away, but since I'm Aussie myself I won't go there. Surely there's a pom or kiwi lurking around who can do it for me. ; )
Made me proud to be an aussie! This is definitely something we take pride in, helping people is something most aussies feel great about and it's always a way to brighten up both peoples day. Beautiful
The amount of times i ran into people with open fuel caps while doing uber eats was interesting, it became a lot easier to just close it for them rather than trying to get their attention and explain its open through my helmet lol
My husband and I watched a conspiracy video before heading out one day and as we were out and about driving we saw this black van with weird symbols on it come along side us, the guy shouted something at us and we ignored him but dropped and back. Later we realised our petrol cap was off - we felt like idiots and scummy to have ignored the guy. Belated thanks to him!
I am a foreigner in Australia, and I am trying to apply for permanent citizen atm... Have been here for more than 10 years, got a job, rent a place, met my wife and a lot of great people. I was holding a learner driving license and first time on the parking lot, when I checkout, lost my parking ticket, it was less than an hour so I didn't have to pay anything but I still lost it...I was so frustrated until the nearby store staff gave me a ticket and helped me pass. There's another time when I get so frustrated with the reverse parking and another local guided me through... makes me feel nothing but gracious...Really really appreciate those guys helped me here. Now I am a much mature driver and always helped others when they needed a hand. Australia is really...really a great country. Sometime there are situations happen, but Honestly, People are cool :)
@@kaydog890 plenty of Aussies born n breed here with worse literacy than this old mates shown, and English probably ain't even his first language. I'd be proud to have this bloke as one of us.
In an ideal world, we would all watch a video like this, before heading out onto the roads. To remind us that the world is a lot better than the media makes it out to be, and to reinforce kindness on the roads. Slow down. Be kind. Try & do at least one courteous act every time you motor. Safe travels everyone 🙏
On arriving in Ireland in 2005 I was walking in the town I found myself. 3 school lads walked past, they were between 7 and 10 years old and one said "good morning sir" wow how polite Irish kids are I thought to myself. "good morning" I replied... And one of the others said "Aaaaah fook off!"
I lived there for a few years in my travels and when my girlfriends pick up a hitchhiker to get him to his destination, I think a car of Aussie females scared the shite out of him. I don't think he was expecting our personalities, this was back in the late 90's XD Plus I was a demon driver back then and roads are bloody narrow out of the cities.
I have a scooter and my wallet fell out when I was waiting on a traffic light without realising. A guy behind me saw it followed me and honked and told me. Saved me lots of hussle and money.
Twice I received help from aussies when my car broke down. One on a intersection of a right turn in east killara on A1 ( nsw ) and another time in marsfield Macquarie University in front of Woolworth. Both times my car were not moving at traffic lights, both times aussies came out of no where helped me to push my car to a adjacent quiet street , and other cars on the traffic lights were polite enough to wait for us to push the car to form a right / left turn. Really really appreciate them and I try to do the same to others who are in trouble.
More like this please. Even if an occasional someone does it just to show off on their dash-cam "Look how nice I am", a good deed still can make the day of the folk in trouble. And really, people do this because they're mostly good people.
@@ozzemonke6183 I live in the sticks meself, had to herd sheep into strange fields and seen them sprayed or numbered. It is amazing that they get out in the first place XD Sheep and cows are wily things. Mind you, I've never seen cows marked.... Oh but they have ear tags, yeah?
@@tubester4567 Of course there has to be a few houns out there ( I came across a few as well), we can't eradicate stupidity. Good thing that most of them will be prosecuted or can be reported. Road safety is a very important issue in Oz and it's treated as such.
Holy crap, never been a big AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE person.... but awesome display of what being an Australian is. They guy that saved the snake at 9:24.... The next beer is on me.... f*cking legend! ok, second edit... this is what makes Aussies just that little bit special... We care...
@Knight-Lieutenant Sharpshøõter I've been lucky enough to be born and grow up in Australia but I've also traveled and lived a large portion of my life all over this planet. I think every place has it's postitives and negatives. I'm a big believer in planetist over countrist (if you get my drift). But, as I mentioned in my comment, it's what makes australians just that little bit special.... we care.
Driving in the 70s, I couldn't count the number of times I pushed or was pushed through intersections after a breakdown. Very common occurrence. Heart warming stuff.
In this current negative world we live in, this is a great idea and compilation. Such good people out their but are always overlooked. Great job admin.
My favourite thing about this video is that the helpers were every size, every shape, all colour and creeds, men, women and children. All Aussies and all good mates.
Snowcat did that back in the day, all to scold them for improper turn, changing lanes from a one way to another one way. (First lane goes into first lane, second lane goes into second second lane, they turned from the first lane and went into the second, cutting him on in the second lane.)
@@greensteve9307 Well, for starters, they have f'ing sharp claws for climbing up gum trees! I've seen them climb 4" square steel pipe, for that matter. (Though that is more likely the grippy pads on their feet, than the claws.)
@@ellabryant4976 Usually babies claws are much sharper, as they haven't had the use to become blunted. Kittens, for example have _much_ sharper claws than grown cats.
It's so good to see the comments from visitors to our country about how friendly they have found us to be. I like how quick to act the people in these videos are , it only takes a moment to help make someone else's day better.
