It's a pretty regular thing around where I live with traffic usually stopping both ways... until some wanker in a ute see's both lanes stopped on a two lane highway and decides he will just blast over "double lines" and around the cars and over the ducks. :( You would think that was a one off thing, but I've seen it twice and both were ute drivers.

[@davidvanderklauw]

If the car in the left was doing 85 and as you try to pass him he goes up to 100 then you have some choices. One option is to put on the left signal, slow to 90 and then move in behind the moron and stay at 90. This might seem strange to other drivers behind you, but is in fact consistent driving from you.

[@tomgeorge3726]

At 19:35 , why did the DC vehicle move forward?????? It is obvious that the back end of the trailer is going to come across, the truck driver did all the right moves and indicated. The DC driver should have his/her head read. The truckie is not at fault. Car driving instruction SHOULD include how to drive amongst articulated vehicles and read signs on the back of trailers. Truck drivers have enough to contend with on our "roads", bad truck drivers are fortunately in the minority. No I'm not a truck driver, but I used to travel up to 80,000kms a year and driving amongst them learnt, they will respect you if you respect them.

[@HDic3]

Not saying you're wrong as it seems like you're speaking from experience, but seems unfair to me since the turning lanes should have been wide enough to allow for a truck and car to turn at the same time without collision. I would have thought it's actually a Council problem (or whoever approved the intersection to be built) for allowing the intersection to be designed like this in the first place, and I reckon it should be up to them to pay for the damages.

[@SeanBZA]

@@HDic3 Pretty much every double trailer will cut a corner, so it is part of the driver training that you do not cut inside the corner of a truck taking a sharp turn, because that second trailer will drive over you. Truck turning, wait for it to finish turning, then go, or you will end up paying for the damage to his truck and your car.

[@bradsmckay]

@@HDic3 I've seen many intersections that turn from a two lane road into a three lane road where the truck could go almost to the other side of the intersection before turning and still touch if not cross the line. I'm going to be blunt here and say if a truck's turning back the f*ck off

I would like to thank the Producer's of these Video Logs. Impeccably brought together, with fine editing, music to 'die for' and the scenery of Australia (towns/city's/urban streets/rural scenes) - is so stunning - a pity about the driving. In other videos I have asked "where are the Police" strange, that on sunny day, they are doing "drink driving tests"! It would be interesting to be "a fly on the all" of an Insurance Company, each morning when the accumulative Claims, for all car accidents are opened for consideration. I wonder if the staff have a "silent room", where they can congregate, each morning, and have a communal cry, over the Claims for car "incidents & accidents"- (head nod to Simon & Garfunkel for the use of those words) that have now landed on desks!! The only thing I can commend, Aussie Drivers - is your "health & safety" approach to ducks & family crossing the road.

[@Fucue]

First clip: “I swear that car came out of nowhere!”

[@madazgq]

@7:00 could that person park any closer to that intersection? Couldn't of made it any tighter for the falcon to navigate, which they were struggling from the get go.

[@traj7196]

That falcon had plenty of room. This is evidenced by the falcon getting by without the DC going back. Just a really bad driver

[@ironmaidentragic]

Doesn't anybody apologize when they make a mistake on the road any more? I'm sure a wave to say sorry would diffuse so much tension between drivers in these clips.

[@KevinD_33x150]

Occasionally, they do. Usually in the form of a "bird". 🤣 Nice handle, by the way. 🤘🤘

In their eyes, they did nothing wrong... don't hold your breath waiting....

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

It really bugs me when they haven't corrected the clock on their dashcams. I know it's dumb but I really like to know what time of day these things occurred so I know what the conditions were like. I hate seeing a clock that reads "23:38:29" and it's clearly the middle daytime in the clip.

[@desubtilizer]

5:50 Even though the car is in the wrong that is a rare Saab 900 from the 80s

[@doctorbohr1585]

I'm guessing the owner has had it since new, having bought it at the age of 55. Cool car though!

[@miap6844]

These videos make me anxious as hell, though I can’t look away!

[@KristiContemplates]

4:53 truly responsible driving

[@insertusername3778]

13:38 Super curious if dash cam driver got a ticket for speeding ?

[@AnotherDoug]

Depends on whether she was speeding or not. (The speed limit on that road is 80km/h)

[@traj7196]

Speeding? You have proof they exceeded the limit?

[@metarugia3981]

8:11 Yep, we've found our Darwin Award and organ donor nominee for the week. And I got a feeling DC Driver needed a new change of undies.

[@cherk9993]

1:23 do you guys have cameras in your tunnels?. In Auckland through the new tunnels, there are cameras, also signs stating no changing lanes. Plus only 80 k’s through the tunnels.

[@AnotherDoug]

Yes, there are cameras but mainly for operational purposes - not law enforcement. (Although, I'm sure footage is occasionally passed to police.) Generally, speed limit in tunnels is no more than 80km/h. Lane changes in tunnels are usually allowed.

[@dashcamandy2242]

5:49 - What in the actual f--k is going on with those two? 7:35 - Missed opportunity to give us an Instant "Pon de Replay." 😛

[@traj7196]

5:49 looks like the mazda spotted the saab coming and forced them to stop

[@grahamknowles759]

Joyce and the Saab made me laugh. Maybe someone can offer a clip to show us how they got there in the 1st place.

[@kineticdeath]

2:43 name any other motorised vehicle which is for some reason legally allowed to be driven on the road or on the footpath completely interchangably at the riders instant discretion, and it requires no license/rego or safety gear whatsoever and is operated from the most unstable and top heavy driving position ever.

[@AnotherDoug]

This appears to be NSW: e-scooters are completely illegal on all NSW roads and footpaths.

[@stephens9566]

19.36 what did you expect to happen? Trucks need space to turn .

[@FuManchu5ltr]

@13:24 Were the cops pulling across ahead waiting to pull the little blue car over? Driver was on their phone but it finished too soon.

[@lesstockley4937]

the cops went to the right, probably after the ute that blew the red

[@traj7196]

13:24 is a fallen water tank....

[@iain6140]

10:25 Yep, just let your kid tear across a busy intersection. Nice one. Actually, give yourselves a downgrade too, for strolling blindly across against the lights. A Great example shown to all

[@loveu8910]

17:00 why the guy standing in the middle of the road. Is he like trying to get hit to claim compo or something??

[@Cyba_IT]

17:40 Good on old mate for pulling straight up to help without hesitation and I was following and elderly Asian woman the other day that drove much like the white car in the last clip. :/

Things happen so quickly on our roads. Please stay safe in 2023!

[@ElBantosClips]

8:10 good hit! Nicely done, maximum points

[@shadowboy8054]

Me also crash 2 time on my bike

[@doctorbohr1585]

The only thing wrong with that is it wasn't an E scooter!

[@carlmagrath6389]

@ 2:52, who makes these crazy configurations? Is it a roundabout? Looking at the lights on the right it's anyone's guess which way the white lines go, Does the DC veer to the left as in a left turn according to the road markings, is he allowed to cross the curve marking to enter the straight arrow road marking, no wonder the cars collided

[@sixstringedthing]

First clip was definitely one of the best examples of driving like an incompetent dumbarse and wrecking your shit that I've ever seen, a 100% unforced own-goal. Feel sorry for the person who had their vehicle ruined while it was sitting there parked. FFS Edit to add: alright, I'd had a couple when watching this and probably overreacted a bit with this comment, but not without reason. I posted an explanation in a reply down below. Cheers and a happy 2023 to all ;)

[@s.roberts3839]

Don't worry about that......what happened to the pizzas in the back seat😯

[@JC-zv3cv]

Actually the first clip is an honest clip where the driver obviously knows he made a mistake and has the humility to submit his mistake - he misjudged the width of his vehicle or simply didnt see the car he hit, i suspect he misjudged as you can clearly see he moves out to the right of the road. It was a mistake as opposed the deliberately self centered self entitled boganism that is contained in most of the clips - Im far more pissed off at the pricks who use an emergency lane because they're special..

[@AnotherDoug]

@@JC-zv3cv He actually looks like he was having a micro-sleep. Eyes open, fixed and not blinking

[@WacKEDmaN]

that truck at 9:45 .. inconsiderate prick coulda given him a courtesy wave with the lights....i woulda been just as pissed ans the cam driver...

[@shanepeterson1986]

The dc vehicle at 15:00 is totally at fault not the truck. If you look closely you can see the truck indicated just as the overtaking lane starts and even merged over before the dc vehicle. The dc vehicle didnt even wait for the lane to open up properly or have good enough visibility to see around the truck to make sure overtaking was safe.

[@traj7196]

None of what you said happened. No indicator, or at least the rear one isn't working, and the truck didn't move over first

[@coover65]

You must have good eyes. I couldn't see any indicators on the trailer.

Which type of ute, small ones such as the suzuki mighty boy, medium sized ones such as the falcon or commodore, large 4x4 utes or the larger american style utes often refered to as trucks? Lumping all utes into one category simply shows how bad you are at trying to get your point across.

All they had to do was turn the wheels straight, as evidenced by the fact they eventually turned the wheels straight as were able to move ahead
