15:06, that truck is NOT overtaking from the shoulder, that's the ON ramp, 100% legal and proper. He just went to the end of the ramp when he broke down, which is the smart thing to do, it gives other vehicles more room to merge.
Youre right. He broke down in a merging lane not on the hard shoulder. However, that's not a bright thing to do as it backs up the traffic. You got 1 out of 2.
@@messrsandersonco5985... you do realize he pulled over as far as possible onto the shoulder when he broke down right? Did you even watch the clip lol? Also "bright" has nothing to do with it, if you're broken down you're broken down. You coast to the safest most out of the way place you can, but it's not like you have a ton of options if your vehicle isn't working.
I got my license at 16, in the very early '70s. My godmother offered to let me drive, after a fashion, New England to visit sites in eastern Canada. One thing I learned, as she had driven xcountry dozens of times by then, was: give the semis every break you can. Let them in, flash to let them know it's safe, these guys drive for a living. Let them do it. I have now crossed the country by car 8 times, coast to coast. If you ever want to drive safely with protection, seriously, give the semis all the room and space they need. On that trip, you will not travel alone.
some semis are great, others can be morons lol. i was on my motortcycle one day heading into edmonton and got caught in a thunderstorm, winds so bad it blew me from the left most lane across to the 4th or 5th lane, trucker ahead of me in the right most lane moved one lane to the left and i tucked in right beside him and hid from the wind for awhile lol
@@sharpy3453 Gotta say, I agree with the advice either way. Stay aware of semis and you'll live longer! And I learned from my road trips that if a semi is in the left lane, do not pass on the right. 99.9% of the time they had a good reason to change lanes and will be back once they pass whatever they were avoiding. And before anyone says it's illegal to pass on the right... no, it freaking isn't, if you're in a legally designated lane for going straight in that direction. The number of times people insist it's illegal. Imagine getting a ticket because you happen to go faster than someone to your left!
@@sharpy3453 Agreed, I was a despatch rider for many years and often used trucks as cover in bad weather, even followed one for 75 miles home when my headlamp blew out along with my tail light. Had to keep the brake pedal slightly depressed just to show a rear light. Thanks truckers!
Had a similar situation happen to me a few years ago. I am a trucker and I was driving at about 10PM Westbound on I-88 coming out of Rotterdam, NY. When a car overtakes me and cuts me off. This was completely unnecessary as a) myself, the offending vehicle and the car behind him were the only vehicles within sight distance. and b) my truck was governed at 62 mph and Speed Limit was 65mph. I blew my horn at him and he sped up. The other car quickly makes a move to pass me and I look out the window to gauge what it's going to do... New York State Police. I gently ease onto the brake and let the Trooper in and he was my personal Karma Cop that night. I thank him for that.
9:50ish mark, it didnt look like brake checks at all. he braked twice because the car infront of him braked then merged 3 lanes over to the left.... then the 3rd time, was approaching a corner(in a top heavy vehicle). That one seemed pretty legit to me.
Exactly what I thought. If anything they were following too close for part of it. Only thing the jeep did wrong was the initial lane change cut off and no blinker. Not good to be sure but rest was BS
Looks like his turn signal light was out on the right side and he / she may not have known it. They didn't have a brake light on the right side so most likely the brake and turn signal share the same bulb. I didn't think they were brake checking either.
@@sampellegrine5518 This - Cammer was simply ignorant and didn't connect the fact if that brake light is out then...... And those were NOT brake checks. Cammer assumed aggression that did not happen. Assumed Road Rage is just as Deadly as Real Road Rage. Lane change was unsafe w/or without the turn indicator but the braking was caused by a slower vehicle in front that you can see change lanes eventually and the third was obviously entering a 45mph ramp at 75.....
4:21 if that is cutting someone off I quit life, I find it hilarious when the people in these videos with the dash cams are completely in the wrong while trying to justify their reasoning, it's not everyone but there are a couple in every video.
right? if anything I could see them getting pulled over for driving on the shoulder before the exit ramp actually started but calling that "cutting someone off" is a bit of a reach.
I am totally for the good cops out there on the streets! The States should be required to remove incompetent/dangerous drivers without re-issuing a driver's license ever again! This is the only way to make the streets safe again for the average citizen and the cops!
So 5:02 the best explanation I can think of, is that the cop got behind the car, ran the license plate, and the person associated with the plate had a felony warrant. So they called back up and waited until it showed up to perform a traffic stop
yeah the first ticket for cutting him off was really silly. cutting him off? he was at least 10 car lengths ahead, how stupid. he has no idea in hell what cutting off really is. unless you hit the brakes, you werent cut off.
@@scottmcshannon6821 The first one was an illegal turn, when coming off of a side road you turn into the first lane then switch lanes, he was all over the road when he came out, his actions also forced dash cammer to slow down which is by definition a cut off.
@@duewhat9815 i always thought that turning into the nearest lane and then changing lanes to be the stupidest thing ever. the best view you will ever have is when you are sitting there at the corner looking both ways, if its clear you should immediately go to the lane you want. much better than trying to use silly mirrors and worrying about blind spots.
@@petert1692 looks like the lane splits off to join the road to the left so he was okay being there. But I didn't see anything too bad from the one getting pulled over
There's a lot of folks here saying the camera doesn't show distance accurately, but if the person pulls over at your speed and increases speed immediately, yeah, you're not really put out in any way. I don't consider that enough to pull someone over for.
2:05 that totally sucks that this wreck happened due to an idiotic driver that has to brake check like a coward they are.. but I am SO GLAD he got his car hit as well.. KARMA!!!! I hope you learn your lesson of brake checking.. D A.
@@tgsachris Yield, yes, to any who would get there before you. You are suppose to drive right through a yield as long as no one else is there. Driver had lots of room and time before cammer got to that part of the round about. That is the whole idea Of a round about, not having to stop therefore keeping traffic flowing. Other driver Was going too fast, And paid for it, but that had no impact on the cam Driver.
The red car had the yield sign at that point, but he decided to speed up instead of yield. Dash cams aren't on the front of the vehicle, so distance can be very deceiving, making it look like others are farther away than they really are.
car at 8:46 was just as bad driver as the one he was pointing out, noticed numerous times where he was 75 in a 45 zone. Chasing down a bad driver to get him on dashcam is just as dangerous.
First clip the guy did not "cut him off" he had many car lengths. only 0.5 - 1 car length is required to merge as going same speed. Same again at 4:30 if a car is moving faster than you and merges into your lane with more than 0.5 car lengths its not cutting you off.
Why do so many cammers complain that someone is cutting them off when all they are doing is merging into their lane to take the upcoming exit or turn? I saw no brake checking, no erratic behavior, no speeding. You aren't always going to have ten car lengths in front of you and if you do someone is bound at some time to enter your lane in front of you.
Cop tagged him for improper turn (should've turned into the rightmost lane, instead turned into the center and almost the third lane before correcting), not because he got in front of the cammer.
@@amzarnacht6710 I spend too much time watching these things and while a lot of drivers do stupid stuff there are a good number of cammers who use the "he cut in front of me" excuse for not anticipating what another driver will do. We don't have crystal balls, but we do have to anticipate what's going on around us. Observant, defensive driving means no good upload on RU-vid.
He did technically cut the driver off, sice you have to yield if someone is already in the roundabout. Plus, dash cams tend to inaccurately show distance.
@@mamasantore Why? He clearly wasn't in it for the safety, because if he was, he wouldn't be *brake checking a semi.* No, he just felt like punishing the semi driver, regardless of risk to life or property. Leave the tailgater punishment to the cops.
@@specialopsdave I feel like if they were really trying to scam the trucker for insursnce money, they would have been more agressive with the break check. There was no real commitment with that so called break check. It seemed to me to be an aprehensive driver nervously tapping the breaks to let the trucker know that they would enjoy a bit more space between them. This is entirely my opinion.
@Hugh Jaanus Not sure what you mean here. The clip we are referring to here is a truck in the right hand lane. Also, what do you mean by free English lesson?!
10:00... that guy ahead of you brake checked you too, it seems to me that every vehicle in front of you that applies their brakes is "brake checking" YOU, Karen.
THANK You to All police officers who are committed to doing their job and not being affraid to stand up for the law. Stay SAFE. Atlanta has some of the most entitled, they think they are, worse driver's between California and Georgia they are equal.
13:30 you can see that the author of the video, together with his partner, are completely ignorant of the principle of operation of roundabouts. Unfortunately, many drivers treat roundabouts as an intersection. After all, man, you didn't even have to slow down !!! This is what smooth driving is all about !!! And this joy at someone else's misfortune is only a symptom of primitivism and crudeness
The first clip just pissed me off! Yes he went into your lane BARELY but as you can see he correct himself got back in the middle lane and then he turned his signal on to get into your lane! That was nothing to record or get pulled over for
@2:40, apparently there are wheelholders/fourwheeler (car divers) all over the world that are menaces to truck drivers. BRAKE CHECKING SEMI TRUCKS CAN GET YOU KILLED ! ! ! ! !
Seriously, don't take chances when you're driving & if a driver cuts you off, let it go! It's getting so much worse with gun violence killings mixed with anger & road rage! Just a week ago here in VA. A family was driving to go on their vacation, two teenage daughters were sitting in the back seat ages 9 & 14. A driver pulled alongside them, pulled out a gun & started shooting at their vehicle! The shooter nearly missed the girls in the backseat, shattered the window the girls were cut up. The mom was shot at as well. 3 bullet holes went into their car by the shooter! They had no idea why the man was shooting at them! I'm hearing on the news and seeing things nowadays that have become the norm! They talk about it on the news as if it's nothing & it is something very BIG! Please be safe out there no matter where or what you're doing! XO
In the first clip, it doesn't look like the guy pulled out in front of the cammer at all. He pulled out into the middle lane while the cammer was in the left lane. Granted he turned wide and drifted into the left lane but corrected himself immediately. Maybe I'm missing something here...
@@SubGenius1101 Yeah, the cop wouldn't have bothered just for that. But they did telegraph "impaired driver" in general, so I can see why the cop decided to just have a lil look. These are the things you actually want cops to check out for a change.
Most dash cams are wide-angle, creating a wee bit ‘o distance that isn’t there; however, the first video and others definition of being cut-off is comical. If that agitates you, please don’t ever drive in Wash DC, NoVA, VB/Norfolk, MD
Man, I've only been a passenger up around DC several years ago. That was enough to cure me from ever wanting to live anywhere near there. Drivers in the DC area are crazy! I have zero desire to ever even attempt driving around up there.
As someone who lives in Maryland, I can agree with that wholeheartedly. Driving 15-20 over the limit and merging hard are the only ways I ever see people drive here, and sometimes the only way to get where you need to go during rush hour.
It amazes me at the number of people who genuinely take such enjoyment and satisfaction at others misfortune and problems. We've all made our mistakes, YES, EVEN YOU!
It’s so satisfying when these know-it-all’s who own the road and have all the rights are taken down a notch or 2 ! Thanks to the officers for doings a dangerous job as well as teaching some safety to folks who really need to know !! I just stop driving Big Rigs in January 2020 after 40+ years of doing so !! Thanks to all the other drivers (big trucks to 4 wheelers to emergency responders) for your kindness and helpfulness and making things enjoyable and to the few who, well don’t have the proper word for them I just hope you where having a bad day because we all have bad days !!
"Wow. Look. Someone speeding just got pulled over. You don't see that every day. Let me make a stupid comment so my dash cam can pick it up, and send it to Revit Up."
So what was the problem at the first clip? More then enough room to get onto the road... plus they corrected and got into the right lane after they realized it had two lanes
Is it my imagination or, in the first clip - right at the beginning, is there one car following another with about 1 foot clearance at about 60-70mph??? I realise is could be one car towing another but that's a hell of a speed to be towing at if that is the case!
I love that public safety official! Living in Sun City, AZ all I see is people speeding, failure to use turn signals for anything & failure to stop for sign or light. If we had police, our town would be so wealthy!!😊
@@messrsandersonco5985 Not every state has a carpool lane.. Where i'm from a Carpool lane is a foreign concept cause we don't have them. Here soon we are getting right above my house, the first ever R-Cut Intersection in the state.
I live in the D.C. area. We consistently hit the top five for rudest drivers AND worst drivers in the nation for about 20 years. I can't run errands for an hour without seeing half of these. Today, for the first time in years, I had a chance. A half- mile from home,, a street racer (going the correct speed, tbh) almost hit me head-on, because he was: 1) going the wrong way 2) making a U-turn 3) texting You've seen our politicians: the drivers act the same. Note: my just friend was the #3 autocrosser in two states, and did some road racing. No one drive his cars: most weren't allowed to sit in them. More than once, it was " beer run" time. We're also neighbors, so I'd walked across the street. After I collected money, he'd tosses me the keys, and say, " Take the GTI" ( interior removed, inside painted, full step-over-to-get-in roll cage, huge anti-sway, special bushings, Recaros from a Porsche, perhaps a few engine and exhaust upgrades, etc). Everyone's livid. "How come you won't let me even sit in it, but you just toss him the effin' keys?!!??!?" " WHO do you think helped me install it, and adjust it? Oh...and he drives better than you THINK you do.... " I whistle and twirl the keys, and say, "...And that's why. ...do you think you need more beer? You're stupid enough already...." The verbal equivalent of read-ending a cop.
GOD Bless Each & Every Hard - Working Ladies & Gentlemen Truckers & Law Enforcement Officers !!!! All of You are Greatly Respected, Honored & Greatly Appreciated for Your Excellent Service & ALL of You are in my Thoughts & Prayers !!!!
$491 is only the base fine for a carpool offense in the SF bay area. By the time you add all of the extra processing fees, city tax, county tax, state tax, and possible court costs, the final total you have to pay comes out to double that amount.
HEXYEBO 8:46 there is no brake-checking here. the alleged 1 & 2 are adjustments the Jeep is needing to do for the vehicle in front of him. supposed #3, is the Jeep slowing down on the off ramp -- perfectly normal behavior. as well as at the start it certainly appeared there was more than enough room for him to merge. probably the only thing he did wrong was fail to signal to merge into the lane. and this guy tries to make a federal case out of it!
Considering a quarter mile of open lane behind him and 1.5 lengths for the jeep to shoehorn into? Yeah, certainly worth making a case about if the car in front had slowed for any reason.
Only thing the Jeep did wrong was he should have gone behind the person with the camera, that space was a bit too small for him. And braking on the off ramp isn’t smart. On a long off ramp like that you usually let it roll and don’t brake until closer to the intersection
I know that police in most states like to "hide" in the median when they can, but Florida seems to take it to a whole different level. I lived there for awhile and saw them hide spike strips in the median one time to stop a reckless speeder.
@@heathershores2662 whatttt lmaoo i’ve lived in various places around florida my whole life. south, central and north, driven on all major roads many times and ive never seen this happen!!! where tf was this??? i live in orlando currently and i see cops speed more than regular drivers.
9:13 guy had a brake lamp out on his right side, which is also the turn signal. Which is why the camer did not see it, nothing to see. And none of the “break checks” were even break checks. He slowed up because the car in-front of him slowed to change lanes. And then he slowed up for the curve on the transition road. The cammer needs to lighten up.
@@Failedprodegy42 I get so tired of people making that kind of assumption. There's always someone pointing at another country and saying that because this one person from said country does a thing, they all do. Not the brightest folks, are they?
First one the guy did nothing wrong. Barely got in his lane when he pulled out. Waited a couple seconds, turned on his blinker and merged. Their was nothing wrong 🤷♂️
I think it was more the way the car was moving combined with the misjudgment on entering the roadway. I think the cop may have been checking to see if the driver was drunk.
@@trowwzers5057 Don't forget about the MSP station on Ten Mile just at the end of the on ramp there. Lots of state cops on that stretch going in or out in my experience, although many aren't gonna bother with speeders I'll admit.
2:04 Those people who brake check in front of semi-trucks should be arrested, it is a total danger to let free this type of person who looks at a truck that is easily over 15,000 kg (usually between 10k and 60k depending on the model and if it is loaded or not) and find that they need the same braking and reaction space as their cars that do not exceed 2,000 kg. Not to mention that many trucks have a lock and shutdown system in case of suspicious attitude or stoppage without prior notice to the company. They are working, they have an estimated departure time and arrival time, not all bosses will understand that they are late because a frustrated madman found out that his wife was cheating on him with the neighbor and decided to try to kill himself in front of a semi -Towing and he decided to take out his anger on those who have nothing to do with his life and, as a gift, also give a blow to insurance at the same time. That's why cameras are important, these kind of people who pay crazy, demand their constitutional freedom but keep trying to take the freedom of others all the time.
That's the point, it's supposed to convince you to take friends with you for commute in one single car, rather than 2, 3 or 4 cars filling up the road.
12:05 Why is a guy with a radar detector (obviously someone who likes to speed excessively) so happy to see someone else get nailed (a care doing 5 to 10 mph faster than the cammer)? I've never seen someone so happy to see another person get pinched for not really doing anything other than speeding a little bit (the 90-95 mph was BS unless the cammer was doing 85-90 mph along with the other traffic). Cammer just seems like an A-hole and I don't see the Karma bit at all - unless they cut the part of the video where the cammer loses control and hits the median for no reason.
Exactly my thoughts. cammer goes equipped for the crime (radar detector) then takes a malicious glee when another driver is pulled over. What an asshole.
2:10 it was smart of the trucker to put the dashcam in the once place the windshield wipers can’t reach. No annoying blades to cover the camera and plenty of water droplets to obscure the recording.
Yeah, you’re right. In that first clip, the guy said that the criminal pulled out in front of him and the video show that guy went in his lane a little bit but not as drastic to believe. Drama queens! Sheesh……….
4:15 being multiple car lengths ahead of you, coming over into your lane while traveling faster than you, and continuing to travel faster than you, is not "cutting you off".
The M5 accident they should have moved to the shoulder instead of dancing around waving their arms and dissing each other in the centre of the motorway and being a hazard.
If you’re going to expand the definition of “taxes”, why not also call the $491 a “tax”? That would make just as much sense. (Which is no sense at all, but you’re not likely to understand that.)
@@GlennC789 Well... I expect Bezos and the like pay a LOT in taxes, but they don't get ordinary income like regular working people do, so their tax situations are much different. Aside from that if the government confiscated (stole), every dime the richest people had it still wouldn't make much of a dent in government spending, government doesn't have an income problem, it has a spending problem.
Never mind the fact that car pool lanes are a waste of resources. It would make far more sense to let everyone (except heavy trucks) use those lanes. If the political types really wanted to make traffic flow better they would enforce laws on lane discipline.
I'm thinking the blue car (who should've been crushed like a soda can) was douching the lorry and the other one came up on it and had to make a quick lane change at the same time the gray car was. Or the gray & blue cars were working together. Either way, I'd honestly just try to pin everything on the blue car.
@@amzarnacht6710 You would fail. It isn't illegal to brake on a road. It is illegal to follow too closely and subsequently fail to stop in time. The events of the middle lane are totally unique to the right lane. Impossible for an insurer to blame the blue car.
I had the same thing happen. The cop was sooooo embarrassed and apologetic that I almost felt sorry for him. I would see the same cop almost everyday on my way to work with my son in the back going to daycare and he waved at me all the time. It practically got to be part of my morning routine
At 2:25 Driver who break checked a semi and got his, gets out with his arms up like "what happened"? Apparently he needs to be fed with a spoon. Wakey wakey!
