don't think it does, but they're far from innocent, especially with no passengers on board. i was on a bus in sydney once and i think the bus driver thought i wasn't there because he didn't end the trip and started going back to the depot but that's not the point. i witnessed him run multiple red lights and may have been speeding. so much for "professional drivers"
@@lorenzostransportvlogs Speaking of professional drivers. I got an Uber last night, and the guy was driving so aggressively and erratically that I couldn't hold my phone steady enough to use the Covid Tracing app QR code in his car! We got to the destination in half the expected time too🙄Bloody random
I remember one time the bus carrying my school soccer team got pulled over. It was a public bus that had been hired for the day. There was an issue with the registration I believe. The police officer who pulled them over was nice enough to drive with the bus to the soccer field where they sorted out the issue so the team wouldn’t be late!
It's actually more complicated than u think. When your light is green u don't expect a car or anything to come across your lane so when suddenly there is, it is hard to make a correct decision. Emergency vehicles are by law supposed to enter a closed intersection (redlighted), at I think 25km/h. Or crawl.
Props to the guy at 6:18 for submitting his own footage after running a red light and getting caught. Admitting your mistakes is the first step of learning from them.
@@adoreyou7449 what if you're close to the line and travelling at the posted speed limit when it turns orange? Should you still stop (which would take you over the line anyway)
It's quite possible the cops had a lot of complaints, and spent the whole day monitoring buses for infractions. I hear they have different targets all the time, at least in WA
@@mrrhody7234 that sign on the back that has give way and an image of a bus with an indicator means they actually can pull out and anyone behind HAS to give way, this however has nothing to do with blatantly running a red light which so many of these so called "professional drivers" do.
so the thing is, if a cop pulls over a bus, then he has to deal with the possibility of that driver not being able to continue driving, therefore having to get another driver or another bus to collect passengers which is just a huge headache
As an Ambo here in Victoria, I have lost count of how many times I have been blatantly cut off at intersections. That clip was very satisfying. Drive safe people.
While I do keep an eye out for emergency services at intersections, the sirens on VIC ambulances are a lot quieter than the police and fire sirens. A lot of the time you can’t hear them until they’re almost on top of you, especially if you’re surrounded by trucks, especially if the corner is a blind one due to tall buildings or high fences.
i thought he did well to keep the vehicle in complete control tbh,i mean,if you've ever seen a ute lose control thru a roundabout then you will know what i mean,like there is, just no control.
@@peterchristiansen4811 it's usually a caution But the rule of thumb is if there isn't a space by the time you are in front of the keep clear you should stop
@@jameswood1935 I don't have the footage of it unfortunately, but I had one pass me one night around 3am, travelling about 90 in an 80 zone. I saw the police from about 300m away but he obviously didn't, and when we went past them they started moving and turned the lights on, haha.
The cyclist is lucky the police didn't fine him for: 1) Cycling on sidewalk as an adult (you are only allowed if you're a child), 2) Crossing a road on a pedestrian crossing on red signal (considered a jaywalking), 3) Crossing a road on a pedestrian crossing while riding on a bike (this is actually a thing, my brother got fined for it)
Other than noticing the occasional speed camera car setup, an hour out of the cities I rarely see traffic or highway Police pulling people over anymore.
@@slimyish Not everyone, but a surprisingly high amount of people (if we don't count Japan and South Korea), mostly due to low level of requirements to get a drivers license. Especially in the 'emerging economies', having a pulse is the biggest requirement, being able to drive is optional.
the worst thing in this video was seeing people refuse to yield to emergency vehicles. the best thing in this video is seeing cops pull people up for doing so.
12:44 A while back I saw a city bus get caught by a police speed check. The driver's facial expression was hilarious as the police has stopped him and fifty passengers were grinning ear to ear... :-)
@@GuyWithoutACamera The ambulances are fitted with a powerful bull horn that's much louder than a car horn. Very effective in ensuring people close by who don't notice the bright flashing red and blue lights, noisy siren see you.
@@coover65 I was sure that some states brought out some rubbish law about not using sirens at night? Not 100% on that, but noticed around here that Ambos particularly don't use sirens after dark, and think I remember reading something about it... People were complaining they were "too loud" 🤣
@@chrishorsburgh7054 I can't comment about other states but in Queensland the use of the siren on a code 1 is discretionary. If we need to put it on a 3am then so be it. The firies however just love their sirens. The BRTs put them on from the second they move off to the moment they arrive, irrespective of time of day.
The most important thing is how skilled the Police motorcyclists are. I’ve seen British bike cops on BMW twins catch yobs on 1000cc sports bikes because the former can ride their machines on the limit and the latter usually can’t.
I think it was more that at the speed the other guy was going, he could. be out of sight by now by a long way. But yes, very fair point. FJR1300s are heavy for a bike, but it's still got an insane power-to-weight ratio compared to any car.
The other night my friend was driving (I was the passenger) at night in the rain, going the speed limit up a hill and a car was right up our ass. My friend suggested he pull over and let them pass but I said no as he was going the correct speed limit. The guy (or girl?) overtakes us on the hill with a blind spot. On top of the hill was a cop on his motorbike waiting. First time I've seen instant karma in the wild. So satisfying!
Some bus drivers think the rules don't apply to them, so happen with this result. But amazingly all these videos and not a single heavy truck being pulled over for pulling the same stunt?
He shouldn’t of got pulled over for running the red because it wouldn’t of been safe for him to slam on the breaks because it was too late u less it was the speeding that caught him
@@bibieblaze1559 Yeah, could have been his speeding. But, a cop will argue that “an orange light is not an extension of the green, instead, the beginning of the red”
@@jamen23 There's nothing that the cop needs to argue about what an amber light means. The meaning of the amber light is that a driver *must stop* unless it is unsafe for them to do so. Australian Road Rules, regulation 57.
@@2partiesnotpreferred226 to be fair though if they had to leave with lights and sirens on to an emergency they dont have time to squeeze past some twat in the keep clear area if you're partner was being assaulted you would want the police there asap not as soon as they can get out the depot because its blocked by people waiting for traffic lights the police can use the oncoming lane to get past but not if they cant even get past or have to weave through people in the keep clear zone from what some people have said in other comments its also a joint depot with ambulances aswell and if the cop car has to squeeze out a chunky ambulance aint getting out
@@TheBananaman491 Nah mate total bullshit, the car wasn't blocking anything whatsoever, a meter forward wouldn't have changed a thing at all, plus the cop wasn't responding to any emergency/anything and would've had to wait for the lights to go green to go anywhere anyway, porker just wanted commission from a ticket, as usual. So, use your eyes, pretty easy to identify that that car wasn't blocking anything whatsoever.
@@Welder. halfway there because I enjoy seeing tools on the road get what they deserve? Guessing your one of those tools on the road that doesn’t give a crap about anyone else, you like running red lights, cutting others off, tailgating, pulling out in front of other etc. yeah looking forward to seeing a video with you driving like a tool in it here but wouldn’t be surprised if I already have seen it
@@kaelwd NSW: There is a two-part penalty for running an amber light in NSW. If the incident occurs on general roads, it's a $457 fine and three demerit points. ... Anyone who is caught driving through a yellow light earns a $413 fine and three demerit points - the same penalty for running a red light.
A yellow (amber) light means you must stop. You can only go through a yellow light if you cannot stop safely before the 'Stop' line. You should not stop suddenly, and you should not speed up to get through a yellow light. - NSW gov website
5:52 - I'll never understand the logic of people like this. Using the turning lane to overtake one or two cars, only to be stuck behind the same car they were. What do you gain? You're not getting anywhere faster. Congrats, you're now coming second in your imaginary race? I see this happen every day. Brings joy to see someone get caught doing it.
I did this before because the car in front of me had been slow at the lights, braking for no reason, on a general dickhead behavior for a long time with no way to get in front of it. So at the first opportunity, I put it behind me and it wasn't my problem anymore.
First of all about time a bus got pulled over I'm so sick of them thinking they can break the road rules all the time. And it's finally good to see that something is done about cars not giving way to ambos I think ambos should have dashcams or number plate readers that save and be fined for the cars that don't move out of the way when they have lights and sirens on.
Love these particular compilations. I see people driving like numpties every day and getting away with it. These give me hope that some of them do get caught.
In high school my bus driver got pulled over and arrested for drunk driving. They had been driving us for months. They always gave me weird vibes and I never trusted them. Their driving was kind of erratic too. I’m just glad no one got hurt and justice was served 😪
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 he did not block it entirely and abote that, there are differences in offences. This is just a minor thing and a warning should do.
@@mrn95 It needs to be kept clear so coppers can make a quick exit when attending incidents, lucky this time was not one of those calls but easily could of been.
@@BrisTransitAustralia can confirm, it rarely happens, but I'm from sydney (where that clip happened), and that's probably the first time I've seen it happen around here
@@BrisTransitAustralia Does it really? Also from Queensland, never seen a bus driver getting pulled over for running a red light, especially in the city also.
@@johnt.848 Maybe, but it is ultra rare to get a video from the perspective of the person being pulled over. Especially since most cameras don't have a rear view, or like myself, never installed the rear view camera.
When I went got pulled over for allegedly driving through a red light my camera happened to be faulty and didn’t record it. Amazing it just happened to be that one clip on the whole SD card.
Are you talking about that van? Mmm... I honestly don't know about that one. I'd say the van driver was the more irresponsible one. You should give emergency vehicles with flashing lights plenty of room, but clearly a lot of people mistakenly think that if they are behind them, it is not necessary to do so.
5:15 The irony that the cop switched lanes causing everyone to have to brake, with the real potential of causing an accident, but then he goes after someone for speeding.
Half the time cops are hypocrites when driving. Enforcing rules and laws, yet always breaking them because theyre "TrAiNeD", and I've usually seen, as you mentioned, they put others in danger.
@@johnt.848 My apologies. I didn't realise you were anointed as King of the RU-vid Viewers, and can therefore speak for "everyone". You're wrong. He switched lanes in front of a car, causing it to brake, causing the lorry behind it to have to brake and then change lanes to maintain distance. Literally visible brake lights.
Those keep clear zones are there for a reason and for anyone who block any emergency vehicle I just hope it's not one of your loved ones that they are going to otherwise they may not get there in time
@@PMP3D I don't buy it. That's like people having the arse of their car in the intersection because "they misjudged". Bullshit. If you aren't sure you can clear the area don't enter it. Be it an intersection or a Keep Clear zone.
@@PMP3D if you misjudge this, then you definitively should not have a drivers license. i suggest you practice your own misjudging in an empty parking lot.
2:04 I love how he simply pulls over as he noticed the police car. He knew why the Christmas tree lighted up. 10:06 I noticed 2 short flashes, did they come from a red light camera?
@@wayno2750 doesn’t matter. The rule is the rule. I live on a street that has a keep clear at the interaction because even if someone is a little over the line we can’t safely get out. Let alone emergency vehicles.
@@wayno2750 Do you mix up the times? My first comment was about the pickup overtaking over a solid white, and the second for a car running a red light?!?
@@JuergenHoppe1 To answer your 10:06 one, there's no red light camera at those lights. I drove down that road daily for years so I'm not sure what the flashes were.
@@MeppyMan the rules in my city are garbage, they are meant to be broken Recently a 17 year old died because he was speeding, the cause was unknown as to why he was going 60+ mph (I have no clue how much that is in K/ph) I am pretty sure he wasn't drunk as he would have survived hitting another car, but this happened in a 30mph zone and no one would have seen him coming because the city thought it was perfectly fine to have cars park perpendicular to the store front instead of parallel which led to many blindspots and probably would have prevented the accident from occurring between 3 other cars. now the only safe way out of there is to roll the stop slowly or go 3 blocks away and risk a pileup of cars near school zones.
In south Australia it's basically the wild west. There's never any cops around on the roads now for many years. We must be really understaffed here in SA they are all busy with domestic disputes by methed up brothers and sisters fighting.
Yet all they ever post on their FB pages are pics of people they've pulled over for speeding on roads that have just had their limits cut without reason...and yesterday a whole 9News report about them impounding a P Plater's 1.2l Kia for a tyre squeak (No smoke, no slippage, no over revving)...calling them a burnout Hoon.
@@-paulmp The question is, did you miss them because they were unmarked and you were not breaking the law, or because they weren't there. Makes you wonder...
My favourite was the bike going through the red, then finally the cop bike comes. The driver says " go get him. He won't get him" 🤣 And the one when we see the cops coming to pull the car over. I got scared.
What's the bet that the guy in the blue car at 12:02 said to the cop "I'm sorry, officer. The Ambulance was slowing down, I thought he was stopping for me."
DC driver went through on yellow light. It is a judgment call (by the cop) as to whether it would have been safe for the DC driver to stop. However, other vehicle clearly drove through a red light and almost had a collision - no brainer for the cop to choose which is the worse offence.
How stupid do you have to be to do an illegal u-turn over a painted island when there’s a roundabout 10 metres ahead? They could’ve used the roundabout to turn around legally and no need for a 3 point turn! The stupidity was strong on that one that it makes me wonder how they managed to get a license in the first place.
Especially when you live in one of those areas that doesn't seem to have any Police presence. So often people drive over double white lines to overtake me when I'm driving at the maximum speed limit as it is.
@@carpathianken Yeah, that is infuriating. My area has those for a reason, the road curves and you can't see oncoming vehicles while passing. I have seen too many close calls, including someone almost hitting a bus head on.
@@kutykutyka so you're also good with red light runners, people who don't stop at stop signs, and drivers who cut you off from a slip lane? So long as they don't endanger you?
Hi, Just wondering are you still doing dash cam reviews/testing? Was checking out the stock listed on your store and most of the camera's listed have been superseded by newer models. I was looking at the new Uniden IGO 90R which is supposed to be true 4k front and HD rear cam. Would love if you could do a review of it. Thanks
2:20 look like he was trying to get into lane and did so. Dont think there was a need for him to be pulled over for it. Unless the copper was getting him for changing lanes at an intersection
Driver left the lane change too late - he/she commenced the turn while still in a straight-ahead lane. I fully support police-led education of drivers who do not plan ahead and make potentially dangerous last minute decisions. We don't know whether the driver was fined or just warned.
@@1970guppy But you have to be legally in a lane in order to change lanes legally. The Road Rules say that if there are marked lanes, then you must use them - not just turn from anywhere
@@AnotherDoug Thanks for clearing that up. I was genuinely confused what he had technically done wrong. Intuitively, it seems a bit obvious that they should have changed lanes sooner but the rules state you can change in an intersection, so I was a bit confused.
