Cop Drives The Wrong Way and Almost Crashes! | Vancouver's Worst Drivers

[@meadowflower180]

Yesss everyone forgets how to drive in Vancouver the moment a raindrop hits the ground! 🤬 which is ironic because it’s rain city 😕

[@mykej9339]

Just wait till the snow flies. Then it's absolute mayhem because many drivers attempt their commute without winter rated tires installed onto their vehicles!

[@wyldhowl2821]

Yup, when the snowflakes come, they also all turn into absolute numptys who think every law of the road no longer applies.

[@ravlalli9249]

And that’s why It’s called raincouver

[@AnimalLover-ei9wi]

Scary, to say the least

[@blahblahgdp]

Unfortunately rain or shine, its just a hazard to be on the roads

[@marksman1416]

So many bad drivers on the way home today. Cutting too close when changing lanes or not using their mirrors when changing lanes and almost causing a crash.

[@NickolasStengert]

6:52, I agree with you Vancouver Worst Drivers. Every weather we’re having like rain, snow, sunny, and hail, people don’t know how to drive properly and should go to driving school to learn properly and the right way without messing up!

[@CDBC]

2:17 This one, I`d like to hear a spokesperson for the VPD rationalize. That idiot cop turned onto the Melville connection, presumably, at Thurlow ... there is NO EXCUSE for not hitting the lights and sirens the moment he did that. He was a mobile disaster waiting to happen until he finally hit the red and blues to show that he was an unusual hazard!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Totally! Going fast around a corner too

[@wyldhowl2821]

Agreed. The cop just figured he'd sprint the short block to Burrard in the wrong direction, but the moment you do that without lights and sirens (and demonstrable need), it's a crime.

[@NickolasStengert]

0:39, In Coquitlam on Schoolhouse street, that’s why they put barriers for a reason, so people would not do u turns and cross double solid line.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Clearly they need to make them longer lol

[@NickolasStengert]

In Vancouver on Hastings street and Manitoba street, the crosswalk had the white man but had red light on Manitoba. White man and red hand malfunction and doesn’t work properly when Hastings street had the green light without the white man walking!

[@CDBC]

0:07 What is going on KZbin? Great to have a new video! This is an intersection with a weird history - we're westbound on East Keith approaching St Georges. Due to the boulevard, Keith is effectively two one way streets. Over the years, the traffic engineers seem to have tried everything. Back in the 70's, there were no Stop signs on Keith, it was an arterial and others were expected to give right-of-way. Just like the situation a block east, at St Andrews. The center boulevard has varied, with Stop signs, then an experiment with Yield signs (they could have just chucked all the signs for the same result legally as that would have made the middle intersection uncontrolled - i.e. right of way goes to the guy on the right). But I digress. Eventually, they decided on an 'All way' or is that '3 way' stop at both of the middle parts of the intersection. In the meanwhile they put a cycle/jogging/wheelchair lane winding its way up the middle, dodging the rats (look it up) but placing those road users at the clearly marked crosswalks. Needless to say, there is nothing as stupid as those dorks on their unlighted bicycles - there were 28,000 trips recorded on Lyme bicycles last year, and apparently the reduction in greenhouse gases is so intoxicating to those in authority that they're encouraging the unlicensed ignorant masses to do more of this. Final thought, from this guy who's been driving for more than a while - the highrise you see at 170 East Keith is where I was living in 1973 (top floor, corner) was charging me the exorbitant fee of $195 a month for a one-beedroom ...

[@wyldhowl2821]

I know it very well (being about a block further down), and it does get confusing at busy times as cars try to creep between the two stop signs on either side of the boulevard. Most people handle it well, but there is no excuse for what the cyclist did. Lucky for him the cars tend to be at a low speed heading through that part, so he got only a wee bump and not thrown under someone's wheels.

I'm surprised not to see a video dedicated to our flooded rainy days yet 😅

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

I posted a bunch of clips on my Instagram story

[@NickolasStengert]

7:39, Richmond is close by where the YVR Airport and the Outlet mall is coming off the Arthur lang bridge. People should know what side they have to drive on without driving on the wrong side of the road and end up causing an accident!

[@wyldhowl2821]

It's a terrible interchange though. Convoluted and anti-intuitive. I mean they should pay attention but the design of it leads many astray.

With influx of people from driving on the left lane (HK), it’s no wonder we see more clips like this where cars turned into the wrong side or enter roundabout on the left.

[@NickolasStengert]

Awesome video, thank you Vancouver Worst Drivers, you’re the best!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks for watching :)

[@CDBC]

8:30 I think that more and more, people are on their cell phones almost utterly absorbed, and movent of other vehicles is sufficient to make them move without reading the lights properly, thinking they`re holding things up. Let`s face it, all the global jurisdictions which allow drivers to get a license here use green arrow controls in a similar manner. Also, a southbound car at Boundary & Kingsway is infrequent, so the last time that driver went through that intersection there may not have been a southbound arrow if nobody was present.

[@shawndavid6684]

I'm curious as to whether or not that there has been an amendment to the motor vehicle act that permits foreign drivers to breach all acts of the motor vehicle act without penalty?.

[@jatco84]

The more of these vidios I see the more I shake my head of some pretty stupid drivers around town. It amazes me how they make it through the day...!! Just crazy !

[@WowRixter]

At 1:05 that driver that couldn't figure out which lane to turn left in where both wearing masks in the car and had a handicap sign from the mirror. I think the sign was for mental capacity

[@orbit778]

1:18 This is the intersection of Lillooet Road and Mount Seymour Parkway in North Vancouver. They just started to go the wrong way on Exit 22B of the Trans-Canada freeway, and I wonder how they got themselves out of that mistake. They would certainly have gotten killed if they tried to cross the Second Narrows Bridge going the wrong way!

[@Slodin]

I wonder how many of those night videos are caused by super bright lights from the other side. Especially when it's raining.

[@RobDucharme]

0:52 Another member of the #MeFirst movement.. 1:35 Another white Tesla... hmm. 3:34 A friend of mine used to drive for ETS in Edmonton. He nearly ran over an NHL player who stepped right in front of the bus with his dry cleaning. Shawn knew who he was right away.. lol 3:53 Probably going too fast for the street, and because of that, wouldn't be slowing down for the late yellow. And I'm definitely not victim shaming the Civic driver, but this is why I refuse to trust oncoming traffic when the light is about to turn red. 5:19 What? They're just taking the advanced route.. 6:24 Yeah but there was this great Tiktok video they had to watch! 6:30 How? HOW? The sun is BEHIND them and everything! How in the actual... 7:01 Haha... yes... You should see what happens in Red Deer. Well, I guess that goes for literally any weather condition here. 8:06 #MeFirst 8:50 I mean, what are they thinking?

[@luccac6247]

All the technology, aides, updates, assistance etc still cant compensate for the human element. Proven 100 percent of the time with all these Tesla drivers / owners. I surprised we have yet see fiery explosions each and every day on these lower mainland roads.

[@rmz1164]

4:05 The cammer started turning as soon as the yellow light came on when there's still an oncoming vehicle approaching. This is not a good practice and he would've been at fault in a collision because the Mercedes' front wheels had passed the line before the light turned red, so technically the Mercedes didn't run the red light. Granted, it was kinda slow and would have been able to stop easily.

6:32 not the good kind of crunch like the sound of Lays chips

[@daveeverett4689]

First clip. The car is in the wrong. This is an all stop intersection and it was clearly the cyclist’s turn to turn left. The driver didn’t wait fir the intersection to clear. And to someone suggesting the bikes didn’t have lights, you’re wrong. There are clearly headlights.

[@EternalSilence4ever]

I think both are at fault. The car should've made sure the intersection was clear before proceeding, but the biker deviated in the direction (which the red car could not see and should not have moved out). Biker should've turned into the furthest left lane in reality, but that wasn't the case. Terrible habits from both sides.

[@NickolasStengert]

8:30, I’ll explain it for you Vancouver Worst Drivers! If you have a green light with a left turn arrow, the vehicle and driver that has the green light with left turn arrow can proceed and turn left! If drivers don’t have the green arrow and go straight instead, then they have to wait their turn until the green light to go straight is green and you can go straight! People I don’t know, need to learn about arrows on the road with traffic lights, otherwise they will cause an accident with the driver that has the green light with the left turn arrow!

[@demonphobia]

Too many people coming to Vancouver and too few people knows rules of road. They came here from outside country where rules are different than ours. And in major city like Vancouver no way you can survive without a car. Car brings convenience and that's first thing people buy regardless of they know how to drive. Only thing we can do is protect ourselves on the road.

[@DavidWsTrainVideos]

8:33, distracted drivers. Simple. And then they catch the turn lane drivers going, and without looking at the light, they hit the accelerator

[@wyldhowl2821]

1st clip is at St. Georges and Keith Road in North Van. Tricky intersection with the cars, cyclists, and pedestrians along that boulevard. The cyclist is definitely in the wrong. Pedestrians cross along the line of the crosswalk. Cars cross parallel to the crosswalks and it is a 4 way stop so they must take turns. The cyclist ignores all that and goes diagonal in the dark and rain (so he can reach the cycle path on the left?), but then wonders why he got bumped by a car that was obeying the rules of traffic and right of way order. What an idiot. He's a Lime cycle user, so chances are he is not used to regular bike use, and may have just rented the thing about a block away.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

That is the worst intersection in the Lower Mainland hands down

[@alexandrucovaliov8989]

Can you explain me something, please? All the cars in Vancouver or lets say 90% of cars are driving on left lane when right line is free. Moreover, they drive 5-10km/h slower than the limit. Right in front of me a driver with sticker L enters the intersection, goes straight to the left lane and keeps driving there. Is that something you guys learn in driving school? Is that something in the book? I've been in so many cities across Canada and Vancouver is the only one I've seen something like this. I keep passing cars from the right.
