The first footage show a car and trailer passing on the left hand side which means that non English speaking driver was driving slow and sitting on the wrong side of the road. I'm not justifying his serving around in front of her but how long has she driven Slowly on the wrong side of the road?

If you watch the clip it starts before this with the dc driver turning right at a stop sign -except they treated it more as a give way as they did not come to a complete stop. The other driver toots at them before the turn which may also be why they didn't stop completely.

Thanks for showing these. I'm from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 & I can say that you get drivers like this in every state. Some people drive on the road like they think they own it. I held my breath for a number of these videos. These semi-trailer are the norm in Australia. Then you get places where you have a big distance to travel to get goods & livestock between places - these are the road-trains. They can be 2, 3 trailers long. The vehicle that was behind you was a twin cab ute with a storage box on the back. These metal boxes have flaps that swing up, or you can get ones that have normal doors on, but they all have locks on. I detest these two wheel scooters. They drive them at top speed without a helmet & just expect everyone to get out of their way. They don't pay attention to anything else except where they are going. Bike riders can be just as bad especially the ones that deliver parcels, documents & food. We are not allowed hold or use phones or cameras when we are driving. They have to be in a stand mounted to your vehicle. You can use a phone in your vehicle if you have pulled over in a safe legal place, so long as your engine is off & your hand/emergency brake is on. Watching some people try to park their cars is funny.

At the 7:00 mark, in the carpark, the dashcam car seems to be the one actually at fault as the line markings clearly show arrows for both directions of traffic at the point of that intersection and the car that hit into them is turning into the lane while the dash cam car is seemingly illegally driving in the middle of both lanes. Could just be a weird angle from the footage but definitely looks like they were cutting the apex of the intersection.

@Blandy086
@Blandy086 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ian, love the vids mate. Breaking down the "pelican" in the Woolies truck... Firstly, what he did is not technically against our road rules... But, it is not ideal and from memory, it does violate safe operation rules as the trailer moved back without the operator being able to guarantee safety to anything behind it. It wasn't a controlled zone and there was no traffic control, ergo, the trailer should NEVER move backward for any reason. It would be a 48ft trailer. In Australia, we have strict axle weight limits, hence the tri-axle group under the trailer. In the US, trucks can run 53ft trailers with a GCM (Gross Combination Mass) of more than 48t. In Australia, a typical semi with a tri-axle 45ft trailer has a GCM of 42.5t. We can slightly increase this with "Mass Management" which is a regulated system the owner must undertake and operate that will ensure regular servicing, loading records, conformance reports, quarterly and annual audits etc... The standard axle load limits are; Tri Axle group (dual wheel - 12 wheels in the group) - 20.00t Drive Axle group (dual wheel - 8 wheels in the group) - 16.50t Steer Axle (single wheels - 2 wheels on the axle) - 6.00t We also have length limits for the following: Length overall - From the absolute front of the vehicle (this includes a bullbar) to the absolute rear of the trailer cannot exceed 19m (62.3ft) This is why cab-over trucks are so popular in Australia. The truck is shorter so the trailer can be longer. A typical "big bonnet" Kenworth in Australia (T909 with a 55" sleeper) will generally be limited to a 43-45ft trailer, depending on whether or not it has a bullbar fitted to the truck. There is also an "S Dimension" limit which states the center of a trailer's axle group (so the middle axle on a tri-axle trailer, or between the axles of a twin axle trailer.) cannot be more than 9.5m (31ft). This is why we Australian truckies get jealous of our brothers in the US. You guys have massive, luxurious 80+ inch sleepers with no penalty to trailer/vehicle overall length... In Australia, the bigger your sleeper, the shorter your trailer, ergo, the less you can earn. I say all this as many of my friends in the US see an Australian truck with a tri-axle trailer and assume it must be bigger than most semi trucks in the US, as the most common combination there is a twin axle group on the trailer. Tri-axle trailers in Australia are generally shorter than your typical US semi. Here is a link to the NHVR (National Heavy Vehicle Regulator) that breaks down mass and length limits in Australia. www.nhvr.gov.au/road-access/mass-dimension-and-loading/general-mass-and-dimension-limits#:~:text=for%20a%20combination%20other%20than,a%20car%20carrier%20%E2%80%9425%20metres

A 'no right turn' sign also prohibits a U-turn. Give way to all other vehicles and pedestrians when making a U-turn." The only states that prohibit u-turns are Queensland, New South Wales, and South Australia. In these states, you cannot perform a u-turn at any intersection unless signed. Victoria, Western Australia and Northern Territory allow u-turns at all intersections unless a "no u-turn" or "no right turn" sign is present.

14.6m / 48ft max length trailers in WA bro. Most are 40' or 45' and they can have an overhang but still have to stay under 48' and also within the max truck and trailer combined length of 19m / 62.3'. Different states might have slight variations.

As an easy explanation, The Toyota Camry now holds the title of the highest annual sales volume car, in Australia for the last 5 years, at least. Particularly with the Hybrid, and Ford and GMH pulling out... there's no longer the Ford Falcon or Territory. Or Holden Commodore.

The first clip the car doing the video is on the wrong side of the road and driving rather eratically. My guess is the car with the trailer that overtakes on the inside is mimicking that. driver. Were they possibly using a mobile phone while driving? Looks like it.

Not wrong about Parking Lots Ian. Apparently around 90% of all car accidents occur in a Parking Lot. Crazy I know but a useless bit of information I picked up from a guy who designs them.

i believe scooters and any motorised vehicle on the road you should have to at least passed a competency test and for law treated as any other motorized vehicle on the road if an accident is caused they are held liable and the ones you hire can identify riders with gps .

i wish helmet cams were a thing back in the 90s. once on my motorbike had a girl cross on a pedestrian crossing after the light had gone green for me. i had to do a full emergency stop to not hit her. wasnt until a little while after that i realised i sat there on my bike for over ten seconds without putting my foot on the ground and then road off. amazing what adrenaline does for you

The hooner at aboit 9:00 appears to be driving a Nissan Skyline on a wet road. That thing has lots of power and its throttle is like an on off switch. You can be driving nice and slowly then press the throttle a fraction more and instantly have 200 Kw through the back wheels spinning you out. I hired one of those things and not knowing the driving characteristics, I did exactly the same thing this guy did. Fortunately it was at night with no cars around to witness my embarrasment

In South Australia unless you are in Adelaide (town) it is illegal to ride electric scooters in the suburbs and can incur up to a $1600 fine and a loss of points if you hold a licence. A Stupid law because you can ride electric bikes every where, just not scooters. I was told it was so those hire companies in town have a monopoly and its the only legal place you can ride them. But it doesn't mean you cant buy them (you can everywhere) just if the police or council decide to be nasty once you take them off your private property you could pay. The funny thing is we brought one for our daughter had a problem with it and took it back to exchange, when we were exchanging it i found the warning sign that was around the corner in different spot warning you of the consequences if you took the scooter out in public places in SA with the fines etc, so i asked if that was true they said "yes", i had a go at them for not displaying the sign correctly, then i told them to refund the money back. She got a bike instead. By law they had to display the warning sign clearly they even admitted it to me. People ride them everywhere here.

11:35 not excusing the car shooting the gap, but the camera car obviously should have moved left after the overtake as that person wanted to get past. Ignoring the "Keep left unless overtaking" rule results in everyone else making impatient moves.

We have a lot of Toyotas over here. Low maintenance, reliable and cheap to run. We have a Camry ourselves. I used to think it was the Volvo drivers that were the worst. Maybe they switched to Camrys. The ones I hate the most are the ones that are slowing you down and when you get to an overtaking lane, they speed up.

I think the first guy was actually trying to get the cammer guy to move into the correct lane. Not the way I would have done it, I would have just kept going in the correct lane and hope the tourist figured it out. Which he did when there was a car coming at him.
