This is the exact reason I don't like driving. I've had 3 cars going the opposite direction as me, all pass a school bus at the same time when the first car wouldn't have made it if I hadn't hit the breaks. It never fails to amaze me how many stupid people are driving.
@@Reiman33 Why do you instantly think someone saying a city with better walking, cycling infrastructure is an infringement to your freedom? Freedom isnt being able to go wherever you want, it is being to be able to CHOOSE how you can get there. All people want are options, no one is taking away your option.
My problem is that it’s never the reckless driver that gets injured by their actions. They end up ending someone else’s lives or changing it permanently, and they get to walk away having permanently effected someone who had nothing to do with them
I remember someone on TV (probably one of those cop shows) here in Denmark saying that if you want to get away with murder you should should get drunk and drive a car into people.....
My friend was going 120mph, and his car wrapped around a tree. There was so little left of him that his family struggled to get ashes. Drive safe. Your life is worth so much more than clout.
As a very avid car enthusiast. There are 3 kinds of people that are generally frowned upon in the car scene 1. People weaving in traffic at high speeds 2. People who takeover intersections and do donuts for clout 3. Streetracing in neighborhoods or being loud in neighborhoods. It is an unspoken rule that you drive out 20 miles away from town to do this dumb shit with your friends where the only person you are putting at risk is yourself. I have much more to say on this topic.
Exactly. Lots of unspoken rules and just overall common courtesy among car enthusiasts. Glad people are starting to realize and not rope all of us into this image.
Exactly. As someone who has done 100+ on a public road (and yes I know it was dumb but I was in a charger and so, ya know) I only did it because I was 30-50 miles out of town, the road was literally entirely empty of traffic and was completely straight with clear weather. Outside of circumstances like that, I would never ever drive like these idiots.
I've heard automatic is better now a days because the computer can shift better and more efferently then a human. And I think manual is harder to find these days too.
I used to work at a shoe store, and a 20-something year old guy once pulled up in a very expensive car and bragged to me that he had just outrun the cops and almost hit someone. I was so stunned and confused that I blurted out, "you just outran the cops and almost killed someone to come to a shoe store?" He got super red in the face and was suddenly very timid, all of the bravado gone, and he picked a pair of shoes at random, bought them, and left. He didn't even try them on. It's funny how these people always crumble when there aren't any twelve year olds around to fawn over their exploits.
as someone who has spent the last week in the hospital because I got hit by a woman driving 90mph on her phone when I was going home after just buying a bike from a dealership. I appreciate this kid.
They do, there was a youtuber who did like 200 on the highway and got arrested. Cops in Cali are arresting people who participate in sideshows after the fact as well, it's happening but like the other guy said, they need a face too.
This guy needs to be arrested ASAP. Like Charlie said: it's not a matter of "if", it's a matter of "when". He clearly doesn't value his own life, so every second that he's on the road is a danger to all the people around him.
And this goes without saying but "all the people around him" includes pretty much anyone he has ever passed on the road. At those speeds chances of survival of anyone involved in the very-likely accident are pretty much ZERO, and the crash itself will likely be very violent, unless he crashes into a solid enough brick wall (let's hope that's all that happens, and that he's the only "victim" of his own actions).
I really wish I was rich so I could move into the town this guy lives in and get this piece of shit locked up for life it would be amazing to see a youtuber do that
@@steezboss learned manual since I was little, auto sucked for me lmao so I opted for manual, it was challenging at first (mainly because of the clutch) but I got it down
This is the kind of guy who crashes, gets people k*lled but survives himself, and lives with what he did. Then cries about how guilty he feels after and how much he changed from it, but everyone will remember every moment now he said he does not care whenever people tell him he will either die or get others hurt
I think most of these kids are psychopaths in the literal, clinical sense of the word. They aren’t capable of feeling remorse. They should be banned from operating motor vehicles for life and they need psychiatric treatment.
My mom’s dad died from a reckless/drunk driver in a head on collision in 1986. His death totally shattered her and her mom’s lives, and it was a super hard time for them. I couldn’t imagine going through that myself. These idiots don’t realize what they’re doing could totally destroy someone’s life, (they probably do, but they don’t care,) and kill somebody. My grandpa was an amazing man. Rest in peace Papaw Silvan ❤
I remember about last year my dad told me about this awful crash that happen, a guy drunk driving in daylight was driving at about 180mph, he got to a red light and just tried to go straight through it, he ended up hitting a car of a mom dad and two children, he hit their gas tank almost instantly engulfing both cars in a fireball killing everyone in both cars, all of this was caught on a security camera at a store at that intersection. I just felt like sharing this story because this guy is going to end up dead in some way like this while taking other innocent people with him 😔
@Sabizos-TheSacredCowTipper the footage showed a normal sedan and the next second a large fireball, I don't know we're you could find the footage anymore but man it is a rough watch knowing an entire family dies in about a second
@@adrianc6534 I'm pretty sure that Merc is the only European manufacturer that almost only offer's Automatics (except for the very bottom spec A class)
My friend died about a year ago, walking on the correct side of the road with safety lights, she was with her little sister, and some asshole was driving recklessly, passed his friend in a different car, and struck her going way over the speed limit on the wrong side of the road. He hasn't been charged with anything and still runs his mouth saying they were in the middle of the road (they were not, Theresa walked everywhere, she wouldn't walk in the middle of a road at night with her 14 year old sister, and there were witnesses anyway.) I hate these types of people because it's much more likely that they end up killing or hurting someone else, rather than themselves.
@@Instabruh.User.. Nah, Charlie always the best if not he's definitely one of the best. Also my condolences I'll never understand reckless driving and/or reckless drivers.
In my hometown about 4 years ago, some rich kids went on a joyride in one of their parents' Porsche. The one behind the wheel drove so insanely that he ended up sending it through the second floor of a building's brick wall and only killed both of themselves because the building was unoccupied. I'll never understand how people don't truly grasp or care about the immense responsibility and privilege driving a car is.
@@hikkamorii I respect your desire to see everyone safe and alive, but he specifically has 0 remorse for the people around him. Whether or not they die as a result of his actions is a non-factor to him. He's only concerned with dealing with the consequences, which is why he'd rather die or run.
Recently became a paraplegic due to others irresponsible driving. While I was incredible fortunate to not only survive, but with the help of rehab, might get the chance to walk again. It sends me into a frenzy seeing content like this. Think of how easy this could become a blood bath if any one thing went wrong. Fuckin awful people.
It's a bit hard to type cause I also broke my left arm, so I'll type it here once for all to see. To all those wishing me well I cannot thank you enough. It's people like you that keeps my spirits high despite the situation. Rehab is only a couple days away and I'm gonna do all I can to regain as much movement as I can.
@@thepheeesh Hey bro if the girl who broke her back at twitchcon can do it, so can you! Just take it one day at a time and channel your pain and anger at assholes like this to motivate you to heal and to not let them take away the joy that your life should have. ♡
i hate people that drive like this because it reflects really badly on the car community, not everyone that drive a modified cars or expensive fast cars. Not everyone in the car community drives like that which it gives the car community a really bad image.
I almost got hit by a guy doing that once edit for more info he passed a truck with a trailer in a no pass lane through a crosswalk. Buddy almost crashed head on into the other car slowing down to let me cross
Being someone who dated a guy like that and been traumatized by the reckless driving not just by him but also by some of his friends; I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way.
Charlie as a car enthusiast I love the fact that you made this video the modern car scene has gotten so toxic with takeovers and traffic cut ups that hopefully videos like these are real eye openers to how dumb it is and definitely do a video clowning people for doing takeovers
@@cr-x7344 it’s still a stupid idea. it only costs like 60 bucks to go to a track. This isn’t need for speed or GTA. This is real life. People die because of bad decisions like that. Edit: grammar

I get a feeling of anxiety when driving automatic due to my left foot serving no purpose. I like manual for that reason. Still need to practice manual chokes though. Planning to work on getting a 1955 F350 running again, so I'm going to have to touch up on my choke operation.
I’m so glad you’re talking about this, I’ve been seeing so many of these videos lately and it pisses me off so much. People who do this shit need to be put in jail for years and permanently have their license removed
5:49 THIS RIGHT HERE IS SO IMPORTANT. I was just in an almost very fatal accident a few weeks ago due to someone thinking they can just speed past everyone and take risks. We were going 50mph Northbound when this guy thought he had enough juice in his 2022 Hyundai to cross over from a parking lot on our right, into oncoming traffic, to then pass over the the double line to go Southbound. Well..we crumpled his driver side door cause he was quite literally horizontal by the time he reached the left lane and pushed us both into oncoming traffic going southbound. I’m lucky to be alive because just a week prior I received a letter regarding an airbag recall that when deployed, has a high chance to shoot projectiles at bullet speeds and have killed multiple people. I still remember thinking right before hitting him that I was going to die and that my life was about to be over cause of this man’s reckless decision and disregard for others on the road. It makes me wish where I lived wasn’t so car-centric. Its the second accident I’ve been in that wasn’t my fault (guy ran a red light while I had a green arrow) that has resulted in my cars being totaled now twice. I just wish my work and places where I buy necessities could just be a walk from where I live. Just be safe and all I ask is invest in safe cars that won’t turn into paper when you get hit.
I know it's tough, but if you're able to move to a city with good transit, you can live without a car. I stopped driving several years ago and it's been a huge relief for me. But I know it's much easier said than done and it will be generations before most places are built for people instead of awful cars...
not super related to your story, but just wanted to pitch in and say that airbag recall was for the Takata air bags. It's been an ongoing thing since ~2017 and only really affected cars in areas with high humidity. The reason it's taken so long for you to get your new airbags (remember this recall has been going for YEARS now) is because there literally isn't enough airbags to go around with all of the vehicles on the road and almost ALL cars made in the last 15-20 years have them. Long story short, Takata went under, airbags are still being rolled out from other manufacturers to fulfill the largest recall in automotive history, and it's been taking a long time. On a brighter note, at least it you don't have to worry about the recall now! 😂
I just noticed something about the video of the guy driving on the highway. Based on the signs and other details of the road in the video, this guy is driving on the Cross Island Parkway in NYC. This means that he is not in fact driving on an interstate, but rather a parkway on Long Island. For those who don't know, the parkways of NY and especially LI were designed by Robert Moses not for high speed travel, but as a leisurely Sunday drive. Although the roads have been modernized somewhat for 50 mph driving as reflected on current parkway speed limits and lane widening projects, they are still not that good for high speed travel due to their narrow roadways, restrictive overpasses, and short entrance ramps. The overpasses were intentionally designed to be too low for trucks to go underneath and do not allow many types of vehicles (although there are many cases of vehicles illegally using the parkways and even getting stuck by the low overpasses as a result or needing a police escort off the parkway to prevent such). This means that this guy is going probably over 100 mph on roads that initially were intentionally designed for travel only below 35 mph. PS: To get a sense of how old these parkways are, the Grand Central Parkway also in Queens has an abandoned entrance ramp meant for horse buggies under Utopia Parkway.
This is exactly what I’ve been explaining to my little brother. Time and place for everything. If your gonna do anything stupid while driving make sure your the only one that can get hurt. Drive within your limits. Leave the Ego
I got into a chase out in the "sticks" pulled a Dukes of Hazzards on the sheriff's. The most scary and fun thing I've ever done only reason I was able to put enough distance on them was because the road was windy and hilly. was in a pos chrysler 200 3.6l making roughly 330hp with a cai and flowmaster super 10 exhaust and a diablo 93 flash tune at 3600lbs cops had the 3.6l v6 or 8 idk but I do know that the chargers and Durangos weren't able to keep up unless they wanted a hug from a tree do to the extra weight 4400lbs . Once I had enough distance I pulled behind my great grandfather's once was metal barn and heard them go up and down the hill and gone my one time main character moment lol. I still had to make it home though that part I wasn't very proud of. And don't say I endangered the sheriff's deputies. I've heard multiple cops say they love the chases as long as no one gets hurt and they're supposed to be decent drivers. Doing the speeds shown in this vid in a residential / suburban street is unfathomably dumb. And leagues ahead of good ol boys haveing some fun out in the sticks.
@SusanWGuzzlesGlizzys that's how me and my boys do it, we go on a back road where the owner of a farm near it is 100%ok with us because we are safe about it
@- Even driving recklessly in the sticks can still kill people though. A couple of kids at my high school got mowed down on a rural road. There can always be people or animals a road. Especially large animals like deer or elk... or someone's dog. Also consider if you loose control and crash you could end up disfigured, paralyzed, or dead. Think of how much your family will miss you, or what they'll need to do to take care of you when you can't walk any longer. These kinds of accidents happen all the time because people treat cars like toys instead of dangerous heavy machines. Edit: the kids who were hit didn't survive fwi
I was on a 70mph expressway when a 30-something guy like him FLEW past me in the left lane at well over 100mph. In a Maserati! I had two little ones in the backseat, all I could think was Thank God he went past us without incident. As I watched him weave recklessly around a bend, my second thought was, Hope he makes that turn... when a fireball erupted about 3 miles ahead. I couldn't believe what was happening. As I made my way around that bend, there was the fancy sportscar alight against the underpass wall and him sitting on the knoll just a few feet away looking quite dazed yet miraculously unharmed. Even more miraculously, when he lost control he hadn't managed to clip another car in the process. Wow, so cool. So epic, man. I agree with your assessment as I clearly recall shouting MORON! out the window as I drove past.
A guy like this crashing would be one of those situations where even defensive driving can't save you. You can only hope that he gets arrested before killing someone.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Its funny when someone gets in trouble for their stupidity, but downright horrifying when someone gets someone else in trouble for their stupidity
How he hasn’t been pulled over by the police yet is the most luck he’s ever gonna experience, I would’ve been stopped within 10 seconds if I drove like that where I’m from.
Yeah, I was starting to get a panic attack from the 10 seconds his psychotic driving was on screen. I hope that loonie crashes into a tree and not somebody's rear end.
This reminds me of a guy who was trying to impress me by going over 90 mph while we were on the highway. I told him to just pull over if he was gonna drive like that and that I'd find my own way home. This was before Uber and I was sneaking out, so I would have been busting myself, but I would have rather been grounded than dead Edit: typo
@@mjanny6330 he left an impression, which is different. But I also remember all my crushes since kindergarten, so that's really not saying much. And I had the crush BEFORE be did that. It only continued because he ended up respecting my boundaries. Guys that don't can eff off
A childhood friend of mine died from a car accident and another I knew from school also. That is why I always had anxiety when I began driving and always have caution for my surroundings.
@@madtabby66 Dude, being left disabled fucking terrifies me. That's why I don't fucking with high adrenaline shit. Sorry to head about your friend tho. She didn't deserve that.
As someone who likes to go fast like most other car guys, public roads are an absolute no go. Anything can go wrong. If you wanna Hoon, go to the track.
These people are always so funny to me. They make fun of “poor” people yet they’re technically poorer than a lot of people. It’s not their money, it’s their parents.
thank you for speaking about this. Saw one of these come up on a tiktok live a few months ago and reported it and it came back as No Violation... dunno in what world endangering peoples lives for shitty content doesn't violate community guidelines...
@@deepstaria0868 Just telling you the facts buddy. Believe it or not the people doing this first were doing it just to get around the people cruising in the left lane, then people started doing it for fun. This driving doesn't exist in areas where it is illegal to cruise in the left lane, guess why.
It sucks towns don't have a month designated to shut down some roads for people to slide it or do a time attack with there personal vehicle I swear there would be alot less of these kids going stupid on public roadways.
I think what frustrates me the most about people like this. Is they're so delusional, and wrapped up in theyre fragile little world. When you tell them the wrongs and facts of there actions. They soooo badly can't hear it they HAVE to call you a hater otherwise they have to swallow the horse pill that is the truth...
us who are actually in the car scene hate this shit so much. this isnt "performance driving" this is just endangering people for no reason where there are race tracks to do this shit at legally
This happened to me once when i was out with my little sisters to buy some candy and stuff. We were crossing the streets and i looked at one of the drivers that was waiting for us to cross so i could give a thanks and i noticed some fuckboy driving fast behind the driver. Me and my sisters had already crossed and the fast driver had tried to use their brakes but he was sliding and he smashed into the sweet normal guy that waited for us to cross. (This was in Sweden during January where the snow and ice is still strong on the road and Also none of my sisters or me were hurt but both drivers had to get rushed to the hospital, idk what happened to them after)
Love the idea of driving fast, but on tracks or completely empty roads at like 2 a.m. living in a place where roads between towns are empty by midnight is something im grateful for. Seeing another car immediately makes me slow down to speed limit if im going over.
These people make me so mad. If people like this didnt exist, my friend would still be here. I have no empathy for these people. There are very, very few people in this world that I genuinely hate, but people like this make it on to that list pretty quickly.
That last clip made me ANXIOUS Just imagine driving normally and a maniac like that speed towards you. And from the looks it he dodged some of those way too close. I would shit my pants so hard that it could last for a life time
I love when you come across one of these guys and you manage to block them in using the other traffic. And when they finally do get by they run into more traffic ahead and you just zoom by them in the other lane, because most of the time their driving skill is limited to “PUSH PEDDLE ON RIGHT GO FAST HURRRR”
So you're admitting that you're the entitled left lane camper that caused this in the first place. Good luck blocking them when they use the emergency lane to get around you LOL!
Lol I don’t go out of my way to do it. I drive normally. Not my fault traffic doesn’t work out in their favor. And I’m not gonna drive dangerously to get out of their way.
@@LazloRTRblocking people in traffic is endangering others, 2 wrongs don’t make a right, if we had places like the autobahn and competent drivers and good roads we wouldn’t have to worry about this
FTC meow is definitely one of the new ones they are a Cambodian veterinarian clinic and for some reason they got a note with a dying cat in a basket and the note said “please save this cat I can’t afford it!” But the note is in English….and they live in Cambodia that doesn’t add up at all also the fact that they tried to explain why and their excuse was “could have been a tourist” what are the odds of a tourist having a dying cat?
My deal with this type of content as a car enthusiast is that there's ways to do this that is not only entertaining, but without endangering other people. Some POV drives on desolate mountain roads with a little splash of spirited driving in tandem with actual driving ability using a stick and advanced techniques like heel-toe. The types of videos like this are meant to be an experience, not a demonstration of being an awful person.
Definitely agreed, we love driving fast, but that doesn't give us the right to endanger other innocent bystanders. If we want to go fast then at this point we take this to the track.
in 2019 i got hit by a car on a sidewalk. It changed my life forever and i dont think i will ever forget ab it. It makes me so mad seeing these douchebags getting away with this
I've got a bit of a story relevant to this. At the age of 17, I was in a head-on collision when I was making a left hand turn on a green arrow and someone ran the red because they were looking at their phone. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured. I had some whiplash and some bruising, but nothing a little physio didn't solve. To this day, I cannot believe the sheer amount of luck involved in the outcome of that accident. It could have been so much worse, my life could have ended right then and there. I suffered some PTSD when it came to driving for a few months following, but I bounced back. This driver, as idiotic as they acted by using their phone while driving, didn't intend to be a danger to the road and look what happened. This guy in the video is actively choosing to drive like a fucking moron, at speeds at which the consequences are far more severe. It pisses me off to no end. I have nothing but contempt for this individual, and hope with all my being that he is served justice before his reckless actions do irreperable damage to someone's life, or worse, end someone's life.
I have a similar story, though the outcome of my crash was significantly less severe as we were both going at speeds below 30km/h / 19mph. I was going straight across a green light and they came from the left, ramming my car into the left headlight. No injuries on either side, but had I breaked a bit later they‘d have hit the driver side door, ie. me directly. And despite the slow speed, both cars totaled. In an environment like driving, you can never be 100% certain that you will not get into an accident, because even if you are the most skilled driver out there, you are far from the only factor at play, and it’s people like those that end up dragging other people, without any fault of their own or way to prevent it, into their deaths.
I am a car enthusiast, love driving fast, and racing (Not on public roads) and never understood why people think this is okay. DO NOT risk other peoples lives just because YOU want to have 10 minutes of fun in the bmw mommy bought you. You can go fast on highways without risking the lives of other people… Stay left, go at night, do a quick 2-3 second pull on a clear road if you really have no options to go to a track but to cut through traffic at 90-100 is just crazy. Reminds me of the “takeover” kids that think that sh*t is okay too. Please make a video on Takeovers! There was a huge takeover recently that took the lives of multiple innocent people. It was crazy
I think the level of driving here is obviously stupid and should not be achieved. People like wheres981 drive only semi-fast and are not 5 seconds away from rear ending someone to the end of time is slightly better, but still not entirely safe.
If people post these to social media - why can the police not track them down and ticket them? I've never understood that. Like all their information is required to sign up for these services. It's pretty simple in my mind. They are recording their own illegal activities... automatically found guilty.
I agree it's really stupid but it's hard to prove that it was actually the OP driving the car at the time and all that garbage. Unfortunately if he doesn't show his face while doing these reckless acts, it's hard to bring charges and get a conviction.
@@TSmith0048 The IP address isn't the whole thing, but it gives a very decent start. And we also know he's driving a BMW which also limits the pool of suspects. There's probably further tell-tales that I'm missing.
@@TSmith0048 That's why police constantly need to watch his house to find out when he leaves and is speeding. Yeah, it's a big pain in the ass, but also consider this. It's not only a possibility that this guy will kill someone or multiple people, it is a huge probability. As far as I'm concerned, this should be given the same priority as a suspect for murder.
I occasionally think myself a bad person and I cant go any lower then I see people like that and it honestly makes me feel better knowing that I'm not that terrible
This stuff gets worse too I have seen a ton of videos of people driving cars in and out of traffic, there are countless videos of people smacking into others and causing accidents because of it too. I think it's important to note that most people in the car community loathe stuff like this. Gives a bad rap to them
This is happening a lot even out in the rural areas where I live, driving like a dumb ass just caught a frequency and all the idiots are tuned in. And the fact that Charlie mentioned they aren’t even using stick shifts, is hilarious I didn’t think he’d even notice something like that.
they think the are some “cool daredevils” or something showing they can go 170 mph on a freeway and they take off their license plates so I can’t report him
I just found this guy on twitter randomly yesterday. All his responses are like 2-3 word answers like "oh well bro" "sucks for you" when people tell him to slow down
The guy said he would run if he survived so I just imagine him exiting the car with a forearm at a 90 angle, looking at the person he just hit and he starts titan running while his insides spill out.
its kinda crazy knowing that your mom or dad who you and many other people, love and depend on, could be deleted by ignorant people like this, his lack of remorse speaks volumes about where he comes from, he truly has never been punished for his wrongdoings
As someone who chops up in traffic I always wait till there’s a long opening or someone gives me passage, in a charger they always give me passage, I don’t cut people off unless if there going 30 in a 60 I’m passing them after that cause there gonna cause an accident slow drivers are causing more accidents from break checking and being on there phones, Plus if your driving under the speed limit in the fast lane that’s on you if you get cutt off.
In a perfect world, this esteemed and highly admirable gentleman would be receiving a friendly check-up by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in his respective state. I think a small “talking-to” and a “gentle warning” would be in order for this respectable young man.
Jeez, as someone who lives in an area with a lot of careless drivers (including one or more street racers), and roads that could be described as "bullet hell," I've heard about too many horrible accidents over the years.
