@@michaelmcclown5593 Was trying to figure that one out. It's as if the cameras have a much wider field of view than people's eyes do, though I know it's more the other way around. On the camera you can see a lot of these accidents before they happen.

[@metarugia3981]

@@surelyyoujokemeinfailure7531 " It's as if the cameras have a much wider field of view than people's eyes do" Human eyes(if memory serves) have a horizontal FOV(field of view) of about 135 degrees, whereas most dashcams have a much wider FOV. But of course, the shit ones have a narrower FOV, which I don't recommend. "On the camera you can see a lot of these accidents before they happen." That's because we're watching these accidents in hindsight. I would assume some(if not all) of the drivers don't see everything that happens beforehand, depending on if the individual has good situational awareness or not.

And for the cases where people are running up the rear of motorcycles on the end of a queue of traffic... well we have brake lights like everyone else.

Highly underrated and most apt suggestion. It’s fairly simple isn’t it? Missed your turn, reroute. Wait for the traffic to clear to join in a busy road. Slow down your vehicles at the intersection and roundabouts. Don’t text and drive. Leave one and a half car length space.

I literally went looking for this comment, this guy 1000% tried to pit that guy merging. Yes you don't need to give way to merging traffic (Depending on state, here in SA you don't). But he pushed into him lmao.

[@colinsmith6340]

Yep. 21:34 did a PERFECT pit on the escort. Yes, he was in the right to not move, but made ZERO effort to evade, or allow an escort vehicle thats doing its job of following an oversized load to PREVENT accidents, and the driver of the camera vehicle purposely hit the escort.

[@iainsmith2856]

Cammer needs to learn some courtesy and respect on the road when it comes to oversized loads with escorts. Failing to obey an escort vehicle can result in a visit from the cops in some states as pilots have authority on the roads that over-rules the average motorist, private or professional. Don't be an ass and ignore the people who are there to protect you around the moving hazard.

[@s3uoq]

The amount of people that get hit or stop to help without making the scene safe for themselves first is astonishing. Too many people have died including off duty emergency workers because of this. Of course they want to help but you have to make sure you will be safe doing that before attending to others. Situational awareness is so important. You don't want to rush blindly to help, only to be rear ended by more cars and killed along with the person you're attempting to help. Stay safe out there people.

Situation awareness. Be aware of all vehicles around you, like a plane/ship radar. Anticipate their intentions. If you're in the far right lane, & there's an exit coming up. Someone merge into your lane. That means they're planning to exit. Avoid accidents, even if you have the right of way, dashcam, witnesses in your favor. Insurance is trying NOT to pay anyone. If your car is fixed, things will be slightly off by millimeters, like door seal, gaps between panels. Had a parking brake locking up after a guy T-bone me.
