UK Dash Cameras - Best of... Crashes 2021 

Cool

lol you're really milking the archive aren't you.

❤️

Getting spoiled this week, awesome

Keep them coming thick and fast boys

It seems they have time to sound their horn, but not to ease off the accelerator and brake. Baffling

It's astonishing, too many brain dead drivers on the rd nowadays with absolutely shit reaction times.

I don’t think the fact that these are almost always a fisheye lens helps at all. It makes things look a lot further away than they are. The braking distances in many of these look a lot longer than they actually are. Although one or two could brake sooner.

* Number of people

It’s called being British 😂

who has right of way? the idiot in a lorry, because they are bigger xD

Me too, it's that car indicating right when I want to pull out but then drives straight on that I don't trust

Reading the road well ahead and reducing speed if something looks amiss has always worked for me. Some of these were obvious to spot and could have been avoided.

Totally right 1135, Let the danger drivers get in front - then you can see what they are doing!

Same here, I always drive like I expect the worse out of every other driver.14 years accident free

I know right, after all it's not like a motorway where you have to go a long way to get back, it's more like 15 extra seconds 🤷‍♀️

@@fetchstixRHD I have been known to drive round twice in some rare cases where I'm driving somewhere I'm not used to, the roadsigns are none too clear, and I want to make it absolutely sure I'm taking the right exit :D

I'm opposed to violence but I do believe these drivers need to be torn from their vehicles and beaten up.

@@fetchstixRHD it's still pretty stupid on a motorway, obviously people who swerve off motorways can't have made checks for other vehicles, otherwise they'd not have missed the junction. Even if they wasted 2 hours, it's better than ending up dead/disabled/in jail/prosecuted or whatever could happen

@@Stripedbottom me too, but doing it on a mini-roundabout caused a scene.

istg breaks dont exist

How many of these qualify as a driver blacking out suddenly?

Dashcams dont give you right of way either 😂

Looked like it wasn't even scratched!

GR Yaris stiffness put to the test, engineers need a raise after that clip haha

@@7rodothx

Lee was already on the roundabout, should've reacted quicker and seen what were coming but not entirely his fault

@@kylehumphries6283 i dont think it was his fault but flooring it over the roundabout then uploading a clip that could of entirely been avoided is.

Yeah Lee is a plonker.

@@kylehumphries6283 if Lee got a claim out of that I want my money back for all the insurance policies I've paid for😂 Lee had the reactions of a dead sloth

@@Kieran_OPC just typical dash cammer who thinks he is in the right as hes got a camera.

Did he have a go pro? Thought he would have mentioned it

I remember when the clip first came out, he got rinsed by half the comments lol

It never gets old.😂

gopro, mate, go prooooooooo 🤣

Came looking for a comment like this, he was definitely stoned.

Even worse that his knees are the crumple zones in that car

And I bet insurance class it as a write off as it would probably not be worth fixing to them. So would be a pain in the arse to get it fixed

I winced at the first one and nearly cried at the second. Should be a bigger punishment for crashing into classic cars

Was also worried that it got written off... but looked it up and it's still on the road with a fresh MOT 😍

@@Semir0800 Legit made my day. Stunning car that.

I'm glad I don't drive

ALL of those incidents would have been avoided if the drivers pulling out of side roads had opened their eyes. In many of those cases you are doing nothing more than blaming the victim. Yes, we are all duty (and legally) bound to avoid an accident if possible, and that includes driving with due care and attention ("hazard perception"). But when another driver does something so unutterably stupid as to be utterly unpredictable, then there's only one person to blame, and it's not the dash cam driver

@@DraftySatyr Im not saying its not the responsibility of the person pulling out. But accelerating at a hazard and beeping your horn instead of braking makes you no better of a driver than the person who caused the accident in the first place.

@@SamuelBlack84 You don't drive but you would get a taxi?

@@seankinvarra1123 If I had to

he either found god or was having an orgasm ..... both sound the same .... lol

His mums called Janice..................

Did we just got crashed? Ah yes, almost English.

Exactly, the cause of many near misses and crashes.

I remember writing something very similar on the original video. 100% she played a major role in that crash, how was the Audi meant to see past her ?

Totally agree with it being her fault. From her side of things I bet she was expecting the audi to just take off down the road rather than cut across it. Also sounds like she knew the person so wanted to let them out. Still partly their fault though!

Almost had the same thing happen to me a while back, coming down a long straight 60mph road, someone turning left from a junction on my left, was probably around 15 seconds off her, plenty of time for her to pull out, and the road ahead of me was clear and she started creeping. About 10 seconds off I flashed her out and started slowing down as she was already part way out of the junction, she continued creeping but was now half way out the junction and blocking my lane. 5 seconds away I start really slowing down and flash her again. She just stops dead in her tracks, next thing you know I've had to slam the breaks on and nearly end up with someone in the back of me, luckily they swerved around me and managed to avoid oncoming traffic. Learned my lesson never to let anyone out.

In all honesty, in that situation you don’t attempt that manoeuvre. Go in the forward direction and then turn around wherever safest. Hindsight and all that!

Probably just shock on Jake's side

@@m4yh3m121 would hope so! though if he put the same energy into braking as he did into blowing the horn he would have been fine

@@FPVsean fair point, stay safe and happy new year!

Darren get rid of the mini, definitely an unconscious target

Was it the same Mini? That's really bad luck if was.

@@heene Same plate

I think Mark could have avoided the collision.

@@jeremypnet Yes. If he stayed at home those days, he could have avoided the collisions maybe.

Yes sir, you could see that coming for 100 yards.

Even Stevie Wonder saw that one coming.

Always a good idea to expect people to crash into you. As soon as i saw it, id be slowing right down.

I don't even have a license yet and I saw that one coming

yeah there were a few of those with cars minding their own business and getting caught up in the idiocy/ low driving skill/ recklessness of others. I would be so pissed off if I were caught up in any of those situations.

Dude got smashed into oblivion 😂

That’s was probably his enemy

That looked intentional that did

It's within the realms of possibility that sometimes they are deliberately targeted, I mean nobody knows any of these drivers or their private lives. Not that I care

I feel you brother. Just had the worst first day back and will almost definitely have a worse one tomorrow. Somehow these videos help

Or you could just take a leisurely drive through the nearest city and see it firsthand.

Give me a message if you ever want a chat mate 👍🏼👍🏼 Email or Facebook in the description.

Nothing more entertaining and uplifting after a bad day at work than seeing others misery and demise!

Or fly off and hit someone's else's car. See it too often

He landed on his head, at the very least he'll have a nasty concussion. I wouldn't be surprised if it left lasting damage. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Saw your comment and went straight to that bit. It had me cryin the way he come flying into view 😂😂😂

Ride like an idiot then suffer the consequences

Mate goes for bike and ignores him!

They look too young, bad parenting though they might be 16+

Some bloke T-boned me on a mini roundabout, my other half went fucking skitz but he was honestly the nicest bloke ever. Rang his insurance up straight away and told them it was his fault. Not all bad people but just the odd few who don't have a clue how to drive and claim it's your fault

I'm surprised there aren't fights or someone drawing a gun

I once had someone crash into me at a roundabout. After about 5 seconds of arguing I could tell she didn't know the rules of the road so I shut up and let her think she was right. We exchanged details and I assume she told the insurers the same she told me as a few weeks later I was found not at fault.

hes lucky they werent fast crashes or he would be crushed inside the toaster

No, Darren didn't crash - people crashed into him!

Shows how crap minis are too. Cant see an RC car coming

@@redstihl9027 Most cars don't have the visibility to see an RC car on the floor in front of them.

@@redstihl9027 Don’t worry, mate, I got your joke

Even over here in the south of Norway a lot of people forget how to drive in winter after 8 months of no snow or ice. Always chaos the first couple of days.

Very much agree.

I am always very cautious passing a line of stopped cars. You just have to expect someone to switch lanes or allow a cut through.

These days there seems to be more of an emphasis on "speeding", rather than "inappropriate speed". Many people get into the mindset of "I'm within the speed limit so that's fine" despite not being.

I made the same right-turn there a few weeks ago - the fact remains the silver car should never have made that blind turn, just like there should never be a blind turn out of a junction (as an example). It's Station Road Swinton

@@deighton2002 two plonkers coming together. Much prefer it that way than I get mixed up with either of them.

Poor chap will most probably have to claim on his own insurance tho 😡

Its a bit sad that you find humor in others misfortune and demise - all the best though :)

@@mrstar666 Yeah that is a shame. But worth it I reckon.

@@jimcena5793 So you have sympathy for scumbags that ruin other people's lives? The scum that ride around on these bikes are uninsured, reckless, dangerous. Most of them are committing other types of crime, usually drugs and theft of other people's property. They offer absolutely nothing but misery to society. Like the comment above, the taxi guy who he rode into will have to pay for his own car, because sure as shit the chav on the bike won't.

Was about to post the same - that clip is comedy gold. If you pause it just right you can see the gormless look on his face as he whizzes past the camera.

Your last sentence is total correct, and I completely agree. But, The cam driver isn't making the decisions, using the throttle, or anything of the sort for the driver involved in the accident. The operator of the vehicle is to blame here, the cam car only made the other vehicles situation much more difficult by as you said, obscuring her view and also applying pressure to rush the other driver. On a side note, the other vehicle shouldn't be trying to make a U-turn there too. Not only would a driving instructor give you a bollocking for that, and doing so across 3 lanes, but to add to it that she could barely see anything to make the maneuver even remotely safe....

Not only that you encourage people to do stupid things. Rights of way are designed for a reason, deviate from them or encourage others to do so and accident will happen.

Bet it was near the end of his shift.

yes I was thinking that too. He's only doing 20 surely he could have stopped. Same with the other drivers. They're tooting their horn and then crash. Sorry if you can toot your horn you could have stopped instead

My thoughts exactly, actually looked like he sped up toward it

This. So very. Intentional, perhaps?

And the last one too! The truck basically rammed the red Civic

@@esuohdica Good.

I was thinking the same thing. Luckily I've never had a serious accident but on a couple of occasion I came close the last thing I had time to do was hit the horn.

So, basically they believe in magic?

Pretty sure that’s what the hazard perception part is far

@@crusade444 clearly doesn’t go far enough though, seeing the consequences of not reacting to a hazard might

@@crusade444 the hazard perception is shite

Play these before you get the provisional handed to you, like the in-flight safety videos!

This is better than the CGI ones they actually do on the theory tests cause people are genuinely this stupid on the roads

I guarantee his first words after he hit that guy were "I'VE GOT A DASHCAM".

im pretty sure that Lee did it on purpose

You’re right, it’s called defensive driving. Keep a safe distance, use your brakes, truly no need to accelerate.

Hope Lee's insurance seen his video lmao

I was looking for this comment, 100% agree. Yeah he wasn't supposed to enter round about, but that doesn't give you a free pass to ram them.

You could could see that cars brake lights from a mile off and the cammer didn't slow down at all. Did he not know that it takes a lot longer to stop in icy conditions.

@@Tanson11 Yeah not sure what the cammer was doing but what on earth was the Fiesta even stopping for? Stupidity on both parts

@@BBrownyy The cars ahead of the Fiesta were braking. Admittedly the gap looked pretty darned conservative... but, well, we see what an optimistic gap and late braking gets you... Also ABS brakes may have made them realise they have even less traction than they thought, prompting them to slow down even more.

also, winter tires? I have a feeling he didn't have them.

Imagine doing 25 in a 30 zone in those conditions. The fact he couldn't stop in time tells you he didnt read the conditions well enough

I can’t be the only one that tried to move out of the way whilst watching that. It would have been damned scary to see that truck coming at you at that speed.

Yeah 5:16 is awful to watch. I have a classic car & I just know that if that happened to me in that car, I'd be crippled or dead.

5 vehicle multi crash. I don't believe that. He was probably guilty for this (it might have been 4 vehicles)

And both grey van and the truck I think is at fault

It’s the dez clip after that sh*t me up 😬

lethal - energy has to go somewhere

Exactly my thinking

From the perspective of an insurance company it'll be the Audi because it drove into the rear of the BMW - although realistically its nonsense, in theory the Audi should have given enough space to brake in time, or avoid the obstruction in the road

he just jammed on his brakes for no reason. crash for cash maybe....

Seems to me that the audi emerged too quickly which would've prompted the braking of the BMW

Interesting that the BMW has also stopped in a Keep Clear area.

They're likely in jail now.

I was thinking the same. It's almost like they want stuff to happen😊

That's for sure

I like this type of comments. Means you have absolutely no idea what are you talking about. Dash cam lenses are so called 'wide angle' lenses to cover much larger area than a normal one. What it means on a video - you think objects there are much further away from the vehicle fitted with a camera. Ergo - driver has much less time to react that you think (if you think at all). Blabbing, that these were avoidable is a complete nonsense. I would agree that some percent of these WERE avoidable but 5% to 10% at the most.

​@@novtalath I like these kind of comments - because it shows you've no idea what you're talking about, and you completely miss the point. Moving your foot to the brake is faster than pressing your horn, the other driver looking around, realising it was them you were beeping at, and then if you caught them on a good day, working out they're going to brake. If one is pressing the horn before ones foot is on the break, then defensive driving skills need to be improved. While doing that - in many cases, one might also be more aware when approaching a hazard, and already be slowing down; rather than just gunning it because right of way is had. Breaking then honking reduces the chance of the crash, and at worst, makes the impact less. Exceptions are obviously when NOT so close to the other driver, that they have a chance to react. For example - 24:56 - the break is applied, then the horn. There's no point at all using the horn, because after slamming into the side of the car, one can be pretty sure they're aware that they're aware they've been hit; and they're not notifying anyone of anything other than their anger.

In caskerbang's defence he said 'how many' of them (not every single one). There were clear and obvious situations where the driver, though not initially at fault, ends up causing an accident when it likely could've been avoided. Some could well be due to the optical illusion you mention caused by the wide-angle lens (they were much closer in reality, I get that) but I could point to a fair few where it looked like the driver getting punked then hit the punker on purpose to prove his / her / their point. Granted we're ready and waiting for an accident when watching these, so are on full alert so it's much easier for us, 'in hindsight' so to speak, to judge who's at fault but if nothing else it proves we must be on high alert at all times - never take your attention away for a split second. Easier said than done but a good lesson.

@@UKMonkey You have read the comment... and understood absolutely nothing. Well done. Now go back and read AGAIN and this time spend some time THINKING of what have you just read. Then you MIGHT come to a conclusion that what I have wrote actually makes sense. If you still missing the point - then so be it. Not everyone has more brain cells than average person. I do have a dash cam. You do not see me posting vids because I have some dignity left in me. I do agree that pressing break is faster than using horn yet still some people need that horn otherwise they will continue moving in and definitely cause an incident. You have picked one situation in that vid but miss the bigger picture. As for use of the horn - if some dickhead drives straight in front of you and you have to break and let's say you do use horn - I am sure they don't need to look around on who is using it as they are aware that they are a twat that just not gave way to another vehicle. I would not be surprised if you were one of those that silently use the horn on every possible occasion just not admit to it. And if you will come up with some rubbish about being an advanced driver - spare it.

I agree, its almost as if people want to accidently get into a collision on purpose just to prove their point or get a new car on the insurance!

what are you on about? the crash at 6:16 was completely unavoidable

@@xeuxis8892 Completely unavoidable when you're a narcoleptic 🤣

Don’t get me started on shit like 4:10 where the guy tries to PIT manoeuvre the van… absolutely ridiculous. I hope the van driver’s insurance got hold of this and refused to pay 100% liability for that.

They did link em together in Top Gear once that was funny

Right, the overtake was risky but the crash was avoided and there was space to slow down easily for a lorry. The lorry driver here actually ended up CAUSING the crash to make a point. Absolutely pointless.

You can remove "on the roads" and "drivers" and your statement will be even more accurate.

He was feeling that in the morning I bet. Good to see his mate was more concerned about him than the bike, too... Oh. haha 😂🤦‍♂️

I bet as soon as his world stopped spinning they got back on those crossers and f*cked off

@@mattclarke6773 I'd be surprised if they waited that long tbh, neither of them seemed like the smart type

Probbaly stolen considering his "mates" concern with the bike more than his welfare.

He had to have broken a bone somewhere, at least a collarbone. That was a body slam.

Because those sort of idiots think they're invincible, so it wouldn't have occured to the brain dead mong that his mate might be injured.

Chavs gonna chav.

The way I saw it, he was moving it to prevent more issues

I think he was maybe already braking long ago just sliding, bit of a slope there

@@davidpacker7602 even taking your foot off the accelerator would create more speed reduction

Remarkable. The Yaris looks unmarked. LOL.

@@Phil-1 Brilliant climbing ability of the Landrover up the Yaris wheel surround - just a shame gravity stuck its oar in, 21 Reg as well. Good lesson for large SUV owners - your centre of gravity is a couple of feet higher!

Coz it’s a GR 😏 (the car also in my profile picture)

Yep, he couldn't even go left or right. He had to sit there and 'brace for impact'.

Crumple zones weren't a thing when the Mini was being designed..

This, only a fool breaks the two second rule

yeah that was EPIC. What make/model of car was that? Feel sorry for the following driver getting the debris chucked at him. One of the trashed vehicles wheels whacks the side of their car too.

@@BiggerBadderBrian the one that crashed was a Range Rover evoque.

I bet that cyclist had a good laugh as he came past.

Safety first.

Agreed, I think people are more bothered about getting their largely superficial "im in the right here" point across rather than staying safe.. which is a scary prospect.

Texting I'd say, especially the ones that got reversed into.

which ones? give times mm:ss

I don't think he's ok, he keeps repeating the same thing over and over
