You think that;s bad? I once got pulled over by a Mitsubishi Nimbus that was carrying 5 members of the woodwind section of the police band who were just finished at a cops funeral. No shit. For overtaking them on the wrong side of the road lol.
Folks, if you are driving on a freeway, and the road is sparse of traffic and you are clearly not overtaking anyone, keep left. It's not only the law (at least it is in some states), but it's just good practice.
Not just the freeway. I can’t get over how many clips show the DC car in the right lane, driving past exit after exit. Doesn’t matter if the road is less than 80kmh, it’s still poor form.
I beleive that you don't have to on roads posted under 80 km/h in Aus? It must be frustrating though. Some drivers were doing over 80 in the clips, so they were either speeding or not keeping left
a single full lane is the same as a double one. they started painting them double for more visibility and to have more space between lanes. i am a lane painter for 30years now.
As a former copper it was alway nice to be in the right place at the right time. Most days it wasn’t hard though. I remember a long time ago & I was junior in a suburban station. Each morning during the rush hour there was one junction where we always got accidents. Cause was simple each time the lights changed 4 or 5 twits would come through on red. If the sarge was pushing you for cases towards the end of the month you just sat at the junction for half an hour in the morning. 😆 Now there’s probably a camera on it & a computer printing off the tickets 😂
My Pop used to be a camera operator and on a stretch of road next to my tafe, if he had his camera out in the open, he would get cussed at and shouted at with all sort of derogatory terms, placed it behind a bush one day and he ran out of film. The only time he actually ran out of film.
Its called the , oh look at me lane oh look at me I have fuzzy daytime lights and dont they look great. Look at meeeee. I am glad I live in the country

@ibrahimelhadayri5284 when you inevitably kill a family with young children and cry to the judge about how you didn't think it would happen nobody is going to feel bad for you. im telling you this now so in the back of your tiny mind the sympathy card will never clear your conscience
Pretty funny when it’s crime scene services that has to pull you over 😂 they hardly ever get to ping anybody, unless you screw up right in front of them...
luckily for them they must have had a quiet day. Spoke to one in Queensland and they worked through their mealbreaks most days. So much work the owner of the stolen car was notified and turned up 2 hours before the forensics did. Oh and when they paint your car with dust for fingerprints they don't clean it for you!
Unless the road is 80kph or higher, it isn’t illegal. I’m not saying there definitely weren’t instances of this in the video, because there was, and it pisses me off too, but some of them were within the road rules to be in the right lane.
They seem to be the worst offenders on here, but are over the moon to see someone get caught lane splitting in the wrong lane, or the illegal u-turn not disrupting a single soul.
@@epi4625 Not sure where you are, but the right lane rule applies to speed limits ABOVE 80kph, not 80 and above everywhere I know of. Happy to be corrected.
@@davidfmelbourne3473 yeah from what I could find checking around the states, the laws say on multilane roads where the posted speed limit is above 80km/h or where there is a keep left unless overtaking sign
@@Ferrastar so that would mean you can undertake/overtake in any lane? Stupid law that is, in the UK im pretty sure its a blanket rule of 'keep left unless overtaking' and undertaking in any circumstance can land you a careless driving/driving without due care and attention charge.
@@BadDriversOz Its still common sense even if its not the law. If you wanna keep right, go to Europe. But stay the f out of the left lane then or the germans will lynch you.
All the planets align, the skies clear, the beer temp drops to just above frozen, wars stop, the world sings together holding hands and we all watch Dash Cam Owners Australia. It’s a beautiful moment.
highway patrol taught me that going under the speed limit is more sus than going the speed limit/just a bit over also taught me that if you're going 4-6km/h faster than the speed limit, dont put on your breaks to slow down going past the cop otherwise they know that you know you were doing the wrong thing (a couple cops mentioned it over the years on the show and holy shit I have not been pulled over once as a P plater driving what most might consider a 'hoon' car) I also try to avoid doing anything stupid near a new model BMW, Hyundai or Holden (you can tell by the headlights from a distance)
@@sixstringedthing should clarify that something stupid to me is pulling over and not turning off my engine before using my phone (as a P plater the engine cannot be running to use a mobile phone), anything bigger than that is insanity, not stupidity :p
@@brndto engine can't be running to use a phone on an unrestricted license either, but I get what you mean as a fellow P plater, I unplug that aux cord as soon as a I see any car that could be a cop
@@kalebtuxford5962 What?? Then who is the OP referring to when saying “If everyone is doing it, I’ll do it too”? Only two cars drove down the middle strip?? Also, that ain’t a cop. Roof racks?
@@arcaneminded Nope. The law is 80 and above must be in left lane. NSW did it with that lady in James Ruse Drive that cried to Kochie on Sunrise only to be read the riot act live on air. 🤣🤣👍
Yeah, when it takes kilometres for them to 'overtake' the car in the left lane it means the relative speed is measured in centimetres per hour. On the Calder I've seen the car in the left lane pull ahead when the freeway sweeps left...
I used to cross that bridge on Victoria road everyday for work at about 06:00. Didn't see a cop for about 3 - 4 months straight.. then they were in that spot 3 days in a row, then didn't see them again over the next 2 months or so. I guess the money they take there at that time of the morning isn't sufficient enough.
Happy to admit I got done once driving back from Ballarat on an early weekend morning. No cars at all, keeping left, came up on one truck and overtook, simply forgot to move back over as there wasn’t any other traffic, you know one of those mornings you see like 3 or 4 cars coming the other way tops in like half an hour or so? I’m usually good at keeping left so I reckon it was just the eerie feeling of an empty road or whatever. Anyway one of the cars going the other way was a cop. They saw me, only car on the road come all the way from. The horizon in the right lane. Stupidest ticket I’ve got by far! Of course the cop has to give it the whole well read spiel, but all I could really think was ‘I can’t believe I didn’t move back over!’
@@falconpowerful2362 They need to be acting reasonably in execution of their job, but no they don't actually need to have their lights or sirens on. Though they might have to explain why they didn't have them on, which in these cases would be a simple "didn't want to spook the driver prematurely".
@@patheddles4004 the lights and sirens are to warn other road users that the vehicle may be operating outside the parameters of “regular” road use. If someone runs out in front of them for instance, they are not going to be able to stop in time. Those devices are to warn people and save lives. You can’t enforce something as “unsafe”, but do it yourself. That’s hypocrisy. But we all know speeding fines on highways are a revenue raiser, the SA government said as much.
No, it's far worse in Oz than here in the UK. I've driven probably 15,000Km on their major routes on our various holidays in Oz so have seen it, and had to deal with it, first hand. Yes, it is bad in the UK but no-where near as bad as down under. And the legality of it being OK on any road under 80Km/h (apart from the ones with regular signs saying "keep left unless overtaking") is just bizarre.
@@BadDriversOz I very well know that..... 32 times the land mass of the whole of the British Isles and I've driven a lot of it on all our various holidays down under. Probably nearly 15,000Km in total. Last time was Perth to Adelaide, including 1,650Km across the Nullabor and the only safe bit about that was there was no outside lane for anyone to hog (apart from a little bit of dual carriageway east of Norseman). (overtaking the roadtrains was, however, a different issue....) But your lane discipline issues are far worse than the UK - and we are far from perfect.
@@BadDriversOz Yep, well aware - although our "imports" are from a different part of the world to yours... Anyway, stay safe and just keep to that inside lane (unless overtaking) !!!
@@BadDriversOz I guess we will have to agree to disagree. Over here I spend my time in the inside lane unless overtaking. And I do drive at the speed limit, sometimes slightly above, unless our weather says otherwise. The lane discipline in Oz was my worst hate. I love the way that on some of your single carriage way A-roads you add an extra lane on the left every 10-20Km so people can overtake (A1 in northern QLD being an example) but 90% of you stay in the outer lane at well below the speed limit forcing me to use the extra lane to "undertake". I really hate doing that because, in the UK, it's effectively illegal (only allowed in slow moving traffic). Otherwise, I love your country, never had an Aussie who was anything but friendly to us, but I wish your hire cars had dashcams..... (Blackvue 750s's on both of our up here).
7:59, I can relate! As a US driver, this also a problem I have been seeing and been through. In fact, even my dad and youngest sister has been through an accident from shit like this. Look before you turn no matter where you are!
You should’ve kept away from meth then; I’m sure you now realise it a neurotoxin. Your brain will never ever experience ‘happy’ like the general public can, but hey, at least your not fat, right?
@@kaydog890 Bro idk what's up your ass but i'm a 24 year old woman who has never touched drugs hahahah i've just had depression since I was 6 years old and ADHD. But at least i'm not judging strangers on the internet, right?
6:39 What a pillock. Seriously, overtaking on double unbroken lines, hand on top of the wheel, car moving all over the place, nearly hit an oncoming car in an overtaking lane.... Does the driver of that car have a death wish?
These police specials are such a highlight, it is about the only video my partner & I watch together. We always look forward to the new video. Always puts a smile on my face.👍
They overtake cars that are driving at the speed limit so that they can catch up to the cars in front which are also doing the speed limit. If they keep doing that, they can save four or five minutes on a hundred klm drive! Yay!
Green PS, if she never experienced it before that day, she hasn't driven much at all. If she was on a motorcycle, then yeah I guess it's warranted but not in a steel safety cocoon with shit music from 2014 odd?
What I've learned is apparently people can read red lights, stop signs, give ways, green lights and speed limits, for the most part... But somehow KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING still never happens
I’m totally in agreement with most of the comments here! It’s absolutely bloody amazing that these posters drive along oblivious to Lane-Discipline, whilst screaming abuse or laughing at others who have very likely had to (in some states it IS ILLEGAL to pass on the left of someone else) pass them on the left! Get over yourselves and YOUR complete self-importance because you have a ‘dash cam’, and respect ALL others on the roads, by “Keeping LEFT where there are multi-lanes! IT ISN’T HARD!!
It does my heart good to see these clips.. On another note, about 3-4 of the cammers were in the outside lane with no cars inside them.. they should have been on the inside lane. Just a point.
@@MeppyMan it's not legal to do so even if you're going the speed limit if the speed limit is over 80kmh. That said those roads didn't look like the speed limit was over 80
@@Fanta.... absolutely, much more visible during the day, easier for others to judge distance if turning onto same road, country driving and city driving. Globes have a fantastic lifespan, really is a no brainer being more visible at all times on the roads. Even more perplexing how many motorcycles still fail to use theirs all the time, those riders really have little common sense.
I also found it interesting but depressing to see all the drivers who were needlessly in the right-hand lanes. If you're not overtaking, get out of the bloody way...
*luke Wilson voice* When boss tells me to lead follow or get out the way... I usually get out the way Your.not supposed to get.out the way it should make you stay on the right on dashcam and get embarrased by viewers
Just letting most people know even if your speedometer says you're doing 100 you're not actually doing 100 unless you have oversize wheels your speedometer will always be around 8-10% more than your actual speed so stick to your left!
@@dainah105 'They didn’t cut her off the nearly crashed into her' Broseph you could fit a bus in the gap between the 2 cars at all times, such a ridiculous reaction for something that anybody who drives for more than an hour in any major city would experience multiple times The correct solution when no cop is present is to blast your horn and call them a dumb cunt, not have a bloody breakdown when parked in a turning lane
NSW rules, keeping left unless overtaking only applies to speed limit "more than 80km/ph" speed limit 80km/p usually has right turn to residential or industrial. so you cant really keep left unless overtaking on that road.
The thing was wallowing all over the place like a boat. Seriously dodgy driving with shite suspension, good that they got pulled over before they killed someone.
Iron Cove bridge, Rozelle/Drummoyne. It used to be 2 way but they built an extra bridge next to it. That spot is an old lane converted into a service road, now it's just a steady revenue stream for cops. That bridge really should be 70km since the oncoming traffic was removed and the cops really really love that it isn't.
Even with these compilations showing us all these idiots getting caught, I still manage to see dozens more on my regular commutes and always ask that age old question, "where's a cop when you need one?" Makes me feel like these videos only show a snippet of the morons we share the roads with. There are countless more that get away with it... Loved the guy at the end laughing his ass off. LOL. 😁
ugh, you can sit in the right lane if the speed limit isn't 90km/h or more, and if they're doing the fucking speed limit then them not allowing the person behind them to do 20k's over does not make them a bad person you stupid bogans.
And to be honest, thats why alot of us (including myself) fly past them in the left lane coz im furious that they drive slow in the fast lane! Alot of these slow driving right laners are the reason alot of these peeps got tickets coz they cause road rage!
For what? Camden Valley Way has an 80km/h limit there. Also, there is an intersection just ahead; for all you know, the driver might have been intending to turn right.
To all the people saying to stay in the left lane, the roads in question were under 80ks based on speed, and also don't assume, the driver may need to take a right turn in the next couple intersections.
You're not allowed to take right turns or travel the speed limit apparently, if you wanna travel in the right lane for whatever reason I guess you're supposed to speed.
I'm 55 and when I learned to drive I was always taught to keep left at all times for safety. (You are further from the centre of the road). You failed your test if you used the right lane. You turn a corner you immediately got in the left hand lane or you fail. They still fail people on that one. The word road hog was invented for people not keeping left.
@@fugawiaus Mate you need to consider the road conditions and the situations, to be quite frank driving tests have changed alot in 35 years, might be time to get another one and see for yourself.
Hwa Ryun my son recently was told to keep left or fail when going for his "p"s. Maybe you should re read the road rules. If you are in the right lane you CAN be booked. The police occasionally target it.
These ‘instant karma’ videos are just the best !!!! We watch so many of these stupid and dangerous drivers that we forget sometimes that the police are out there and actually pulling people over for their indiscretions on the road. Good on you officers, keep up the good work. I for one appreciate you. xoxox
You have to admire in this video the number of Camera drivers sat in the right hand lane for no good reason... Keep left unless overtaking doesn't apply to them obvs.
@@rickybacker600 For one thing, but maybe commited some offence beforehand? That's the problem with some of these videos, we don't know the full story.
@@BadDriversOz If you sit in the right lane when you're allowed too, you most likely sit in the right lane when you're not. Always keep left unless you have to drive in the right lane. Keeping left should be a habit everyone should have, its the decent thing to do.
Young driver, not necessarily recognising hazards quickly, and everybody reacts to a shock differently. She did the right thing and pulled over so she could sort herself out. Props to her. Far more inteligent than jumping out of the car into a live lane, engaging Neanderthal knuckles and ghost lats and going toe to toe.
@@aslefjeldstad well FU very much to you too. don't need to know their story. If they cannot recognise, react and overcome in an appropriate manner epecially to what looks like a 'near miss' then maybe they need to resit their Hazard Perception Test or just not be on the road if that unstable.
People complaining about people driving in the right lane have clearly never driven on main north road, port road, South road, or Salisbury highway (or any other main road in Adelaide) Driving in the right lane down here easily quadruples the lifetime of your cars suspension The only main roads I keep left on are the expressways (which seem to be the only roads that are maintained properly)
The left lane of the SE Freeway heading towards the city is horrific. I prefer to use it because I can sit my van in 3rd gear and coast down at just under 90 km/hr without braking, but it's a very rough road surface.
