@JGHDVCFGT holy crap, I think you are right! Police, please take that van drivers license away! They are a menace on our roads ignoring all rules either from stupidity or intent.
@@JGHDVCFGTNah, it's a different van. The prior one had a black square vinyl sticker on the right rear door, and this one doesn't have that. Very similar though!
10:39 The driver had a good look to see how much room he had, mind you he had a crap load of room and he still hit the car behind him. Then he gets out and he's like "where did that come from". 28:54 DC owner is a legend for not backing down.
Why the fuck do people insist on making their turn regardless of whether it puts people in danger or holds up traffic? When I fuck up and miss a turn, I accept it and just let Google Maps or my own knowledge of the area guide me back. I guess it's true what they say, a bad driver never misses their exit.
Exactly, one of the worst things people can do is trying to go through with turns or trying to correct mistaken directions etc. Better off just continuing with wherever your accidentally going and find a safe place to pull over, figure out where you are and how to get back on route
One of the first things i learned - no sudden moves, no sudden decisions, if you miss your turn go round the block. But now there’s a level of arrogant disregard for anyone other than themselves.
There’s usually a roundabout not far ahead in a little of places anyway where you can turn around & come on back. Even on a motorway, you get off at the next exit, make a right, go over the overpass, get back on the motorway & head back to the previous, missed exit.
It's so easy. You just go past whatever turn you missed by mistake (or took by mistake), find a place to do a safe, legal U-turn, and then do better the second time. Everybody can go about their day. Nobody's car gets totalled cos someone had to swerve to miss you. Doesn't that sound better than tens of thousands in repair costs, or potentially a stay in hospital with a serious injury?
@@hayloft3834 The point is the truckie DID give himself space to stop, but shit for brains cut in on him and reduced his stopping distance. Have another bloody look.
2:04 We had been a little low on the swearing, lately. I was worried that this was no longer the country I grew up in. Thankyou for restoring my faith in this country.
20:20 That Kia did nothing wrong... You started crossing a solid line.. The Holden is one of the problems in this video, the second is your own impatience 🙄
I couldn’t agree more, that jerk thought they had the right to drive past everyone else waiting 😡 I laughed when the car made them back all the way even though they still tried to pull in front of other cars. I bet that whole line of cars were laughing so hard.
21:40 that b double driver shouldn't be on the road, driving with that level of aggression is very dangerous. Completely cuts a rigid off, then runs a car off the road because he wants to act like a bully.
@@kerrycooper-dean4243I'll give it a go. It seemed with the right hand lane ending up ahead this truckie was attempting to make everyone merge into one lane sooner so that traffic would flow better. What he is still wrong (mainly bullying people off the road for not complying) but I can completely understand what he was trying to accomplish
And if they or their loved ones need an ambo they just get denied service. Imagine if it was you or family in that ambo and idiots are late for something and you die. Smh
23:20 So that truck driver not only did he violate the road rule, the law, and the norm. He also stopped in the middle of the road staring so hard at people I would wonder if he was actually in the right. What is wrong with him?
19:55 Best comment of the video - been saying for years now that the too many kids managed to get through childhood without getting punched in the face - this shit is the results.
@@jayr6637 you don’t understand human nature? Humans aren’t perfect. I’ve been known to get annoyed at things like this until I thought about it after or someone pointed out my error. Not this exactly but you get what I mean. Being selfish while driving happens, it shouldn’t but it does. Humans are complex creatures and simple creatures in one.
6:57 what a runt! 9:01 totally warranted 18:49 death wish (selfishly, has the potential to take others with them) 28:56 totally 'denied' worthy. The reversing was the cherry on top
"18:49 death wish (selfishly, has the potential to take others with them)" But, but, but... _He's wearing a helmet!_ /s "28:56 totally 'denied' worthy. The reversing was the cherry on top" I've got places to be too, mate, but for this, I'm going to be _really_ patient! 😂
Haven't you heard, you can drive like a dickhead in a company or branded vehicle all day, all you have to do now if you're caught on camera and it DCOA publishes it, is put in a privacy complaint to RU-vid and get it taken down. No problem! 👍
The halfwit driving the Sargeant Transport b-double at 22:10 swerving and almost taking out another truck and a car needs to be made famous, or is that infamous?
@@JohnSmith-yv6eqI don't think they are, mate of mine went to one of them (the middle one from memory) and he pulled up near the first one because he wasn't sure which building it was, old mate came running out asking him what he's after etc and when asked if he's from the one he's after he said yes, seconds later someone from the actual right shop came out and the other dude fucked off lol
@@JohnSmith-yv6eqdodgy Afghani tyre shops they hate each other there's a guy out the front of each of them sitting on a chair ready to run up to your window to coerce you to come to their shop.. Rocklea Brisbane QLD they sell cheap chinese tyres, steal your valve caps and cut corners on the balancing
Exactly. The dc car is the F' wit. Perfect example of an "entitled" attitude. Does it really hurt to take a minute of your PRECIOUS time to allow a truckie in so he/she can get in the correct lane they need?
It's such a common panic reaction. We see it on dash cams all the time. Especially on freeways. I used to ride a motorcycle and my fear was the person who tried to turn left with the traffic but pulled in front of a car heading in the same direction but with right of way. That car is oncoming to me and instead of just braking or crashing into the car that did an illegal LH turn, swerves onto my side of the road and I have a head-on.
With first hand knowledge of the incident that's exactly what happened. The outlander or whatever it is bailed before police and towies showed up.@@maxmackinlay618
5:08, Unbelievable that those cars run in front of that ambulance, every emergency vehicle should have a camera that automatically takes pics of cars that cut them off, and sent to the police for prosecution or fines, be a different story, if those vehicles needed the emergency though.
04:50 I was the DC there, there was clear vision of the incoming ambulance down the hill on Victoria road, everyone just played follow the leader on the green arrow, absolutely no point in rushing that intersection as the red arrow goes away and can turn most times of the day there within a minute or so. Even with sirens going the motorbike and Commodore were just plain nasty there.
Just another week with Days of our Lives saga watching the incompetence, laziness, impatience and stupidity on our roads Brought to you by DASH CAM VIDEOS.
20:13 DC merges over a solid line then proceeds to get mad at the kia who merged correctly. Suppose its karma the red car cut them off (not that it was the right thing to do)
Im getting road rage watching this video whilst sitting at home. This is one of the most infuriating videos I've seen in a while. The sheer audacity and arrogance of some of these drivers whilst blatantly being in the wrong really grinds my gears. 😅
That pole wasn’t going to budge. Back in the day the occupants would have been toast. Thankfully we have crumple zones, airbags and decent seat belts now.
@bryandavisent5621 What's that got to do with there being zero registered scooters? BTW, unless they swap out the plates, which isn't a smart thing to do these days, unregistered vehicles can still be tracked down by the rego number. Besides, it's a lot easier to find a soecific brown camry than it is to find a scooter & rider with zero identifying characteristics. Stupid point you tried to make
28:55 Do you know why people are arseholes? Because we let them be arseholes. Good work on taking the time to teach an arsehole not to be an arsehole......
You know, I'm into DnD and I know so many people who turn up late to games and if you've started without them they expect a full catch up on whats been happening and either way they really interrupt things. I've found that if you just once start dead on time, then don't catch them up but tell them they can work it out on their own and ignore their distractions.... they don't do it again. Some people are happy to make 5 others wait 20 minutes for them. It's only when they realise there will be consequences for their actions (in this case missing out on the fun) that they suddenly stop being a selfish prick. I use DnD as an example but it applies to so many areas in life. A lot of people can be selfish pricks. It's only when it has consequences to them do they suddenly start caring.
Both drivers were wrong here. Cammer should have been paying more attention and backed off just a tad. No need to beep. Boomer didn't need to get out. Drive on fella.
@@gregsierra414wtf are you even talking about lmao? old mate had zero reason to stop, how is someone randomly stopping purely to whinge at someone who you know they shouldn't have pulled out in front of given the gap? Pulling out with a smaller than ideal gap is one thing, but pulling out and going slow as fuck - let alone literally stopping - is not the cammers' fault.
@@dyIanVII I did say that the old blokes reaction was wrong, but really he didn't even pull out too close to the cammer. You could tell the cammer was distracted talking, so their reaction time was slow. So there was really no reason to honk at the old bloke. The whole thing could have been avoided so easily. Would the cammer regret honking if the guy had gotten out and smashed his window? It could happen one day....
It's a two way street (one way in either direction). Cammer was trying to overtake IN the same lane that the SUV in front was turning from, this would mean that the cammer would be MOSTLY at fault if an accident occurred. Yes the SUV in front could have been more predictable and had better use of indicators, however if the cammer had followed the road rules (ie, NOT tailgating and trying to overtake) then the issue would never have occured. TLDR: While both are dumb, cammer did the most things wrong and would be more at fault in the event of a collision.
@@Finitefox Agreed it would be cammer's fault. He must stay behind the car until safe to overtake. The front car stayed within their lane (although awkwardly)
Not tailgating, DC was actually about to overtake a vehicle that had slowed and pulled to the kerb. The driver made an illegal turn, as only long vehicles with warning placards can make wide turns. When making a right turn, you must: indicate right move as close as possible to the dividing line on the road you’re turning from
@@petesmitt If he was trying to overtake then why is he still in the single lane? There is only 1 single lane there, not 2 or 3 or 4, only 1 single lane!
Cracking way to start, can't help but giggle along with everyone. 1:10 felt like he was going a bit quick for the area? 2:00 good thing that kid didn't take off any quicker, that could have been bad. 2:28 this is why you avoid changing lanes at intersections of any type.. 3:30 why is it always the guilty ones who want to yell at people who weren't doing anything wrong? 6:40 well it's a good thing the problem literally came up and smacked us on the face, all that blurry footage is good for. 8:30 again, innocent pedestrians almost getting whacked by some impatient jerk 10:35 did... did they just skulk away from that? Damn 12:10 so lucky that didn't land on anyone 13:20 again... It's always the idiots getting angry instead of the other way round 15:50 AND YET AGAIN... I'm sensing a theme 18:00 now that was cool 🌩 19:00 as someone who knows how to use a scooter responsibly, these muppets infuriate me 21:35 it is funny when I see someone get into a near miss and you see scuffs or dents in the spot you would have hit them. "creature of habit ay?" 22:05 oh no no no, you stay far back from that mess 23:00 THOMAAAAAASSSSS 23:30 and yet again...! 24:40 well that was special 27:30 I love getting to witness the moment the camera owner knows they got some good material for this channel 😁 29:20 yessss I love that our hero here didn't back down and made Fordie here do the "reverse of shame" aaaaallll the way back. Warms my heart ❤ This whole video can be summed up thusly: watch where you're bloody going when you're driving... Don't get angry at others when *you* do something serious... "I cannot believe the audacity of this guy" and "nature is cool... and scary".
Regardless of any blindspots the Tesla driver still failed to check for traffic that is approaching and give way to traffic already on the road, even well after the cammer left the blindspot pillar and is in plain sight, the Telsa driver still kept going and pulled out in front of the dashcam driver.
why are people finding it so difficult to figure out what side of the road is correct lately? feels like the last couple of years have just been filled with people driving on the right
Unless they don't know where they're going to be turning next, goons who ride the 'passing' lane do so because either a) they own/drive a local brand vehicle, and proud of it, or b) exotic/fast car...and it's their way of holding dominance... I.E.; 'you can't get past me if I'm in the passing lane already'...and, I don't want you getting ahead of me if you're driving a 4 banger / asian brand / or a truck...
15:33. If you accelerated into the goon you could have made it out to be an accident as you felt threatened and then panicked. Then he wouldn't have to scam a disabled permit because he would be crippled.
Oh that last one! How many times do we see a similar situation and the DC driver backs up or leaves a gap for them to get through. With us screaming MAKE THEM GO BACK!
0:26 Our first ILS 1:06 The nong doesn't notice the biker AND also crosses a double centre line. 2:28 Novice driver changes lane at a dangerous point and without giving a long enough signal. A crash almost results. 6:38 SUV moves into path of white corolla. Corolla avoids SUV but hits another innocent car. IMO the corolla should have chosen to hit the SUV instead. The corolla driver will probably be held responsible for the damage. 12:37 Another ILS closing off every escape path. 17:23 The ute with trailer has made a mistake but fixes it in a reasonably safe way. 19:54 Excellent horn use from DC driver. Notice the pedestrian chooses to step out without looking for traffic. Why waste time looking? The horn wakes her up.
5:10 - blows the horn at someone for breaking the law... then the DC driver breaks the law ten seconds later. 6:10 - white CRaptiva ran the red. The left arrow for the DC turned green pretty much the same time as the collision. The light for the CRaptiva would have been red way before they entered.
The filter where you have to get left to get in the Parramatta lane in St Peters 😊to the M8/M4 is really poorly marked. The first time I did it, I missed and you end up driving to the M5 at Rockdale - there are no other exits. It's a 15km detour with extra tolls
@@ghostofdre There was all of 1.5 seconds between when he finished the previous lane change and started the next. Sure, a more defensive driver could have slowed down to confirm the truck drivers intention, but with 1.5 seconds to make that call, it's not exactly a reasonable expectation. I mean how dumb do you have to be to try and squeeze into a space between two vehicles travelling faster than you that is barely even bigger than your vehicle?
@@ianbrowne9304 common sense like not changing 4 lanes in a bloody truck? Or how about politeness and respect of obeying the road laws and not being a danger to other road users?
Especially when they do it to “get ahead” but then waste way more time by stopping and starting stuff because someone hurt their little ego by calling them out on bad behaviour by honking their horn.
13:30 The pov car had plently of time to see the trucks indicators, I know it was from 2 lanes over but there was a good pause between the second lane change
Yeah. DC's the "fuckin' idiot". I always sit back when I see truckies doing a lane change and their indicator stays on. Common sense, really. Hubby's a heavy haulage truckie and you kinda get to see from their POV the shit car drivers pull so I try not to pull the same moronic shit. One guy nearly decapitated himself while traffic was stopped so hubby could make a turn on the wrong side of the road at an intersection while hauling a concrete bridge beam and the guy decided to go through any way. I like my head on my neck...not in the back seat. DCer should've just sat back. Not that hard.
The gap between the DC and the car in front was never more than a few feet longer than the total length of the truck. The pause you speak of was all of about 1.5 seconds long. Truck driver should have just stayed in his lane and whoever was behind the DC car would have been able to see his intention to change lane clearly and could have let him in.
That's also a particularly bad area for it; end of the Hunter Expressway at Cameron Park eastbound (near Newcastle, NSW). The truck took the southbound exit from the Pacific Highway and was taking a right at the next intersection. Need to merge across three lanes moving at 80 km/h to do it. The southbound exit is also a sharp turn, bad enough in a car let alone a truck
13:27 You just witnessed the truck pull a dangerous stunt and still immediately pulled up next to it without a few seconds of confirmation that it wasn't going to continue being dangerous.
My take was the DC car bearing down on a truck with its indicators on, changing lanes, but carrying on into inevitable conflict…. Cut trucks some slack….
@@zwieseler Maybe my comment was unclear but that's exactly what I meant. I always try to give trucks plenty of space even (especially) if they're doing something stupid like crossing multiple lanes at once. The DC driver should've held back.
@@faee1880 crossing multiple lanes in one move is neither dangerous nor illegal. Crossing multiple lanes without giving way is both dangerous and illegal
04:50 heading west on Victoria road in "getting home early" peak rush. But that ambulance was pretty clear, and this intersection doesn't always have a red arrow so plenty of opportunity to turn later even if they have to wait a bit for the ambo to go past.
Thank you, I was watching the cars going through the lights trying to work out what someone had done wrong. Too much footage of normal driving at the start, I was looking for crashes, light jumpers etc. didn't expect that.
2:25. This shows why defensive driving is important. Totally the car pulling outs fault but just waiting to pass before changing lane can save a lot of grief.
Once, I was waiting at a T intersection waiting to turn left. Car coming from the right, indicated, started to turn even, then changed their mind and carried on straight. I almost went, glad I didn't. Since then, I just wait until it's clear, no excuses.
@@ifluro My brother had that happen to him too. The guy who went straight got a $50 fine for inappropriate use of indicator, and my brother got the cost of the damage! The rule at T intersections is: Give way to all cars. It doesn't say: Unless they have indicators on!
