Correct. I try to show some of them to learners to give them an idea of what to watch out for. Especially emergency vehicles, which you tend to see less of while driving.

[@lawmanjapan]

You’re not wrong. They prove the old sayings, "Expect the unexpected", and "Anything can happen" on the road. I must say, though, the quick reactions from the good drivers are admirable.

@@MissEmai0110They weren't saying it would help you pass a hazard perception test. They were saying it teaches you more about hazard perception than anything VicRoads or similar organisations generate.

[@jtv9000]

18:42 I'm so sorry you were riding your bikes on the wrong side of the road!

[@tin2001]

My thoughts exactly. Although many older bike lanes are only on one side, and I'm fairly sure they used to be usable in both directions (not sure what the rules are now - the only one near me has been overgrown with weeds for at least a decade now so it's unusable anyway). Either way, I wouldn't ride the wrong way down one.

[@Foxtrot369]

When I was in high school, in 2005, students were told specifically to ride against traffic so we could see what was coming. The majority of incidents were bikes being hit from behind. I'm not saying the driver in this case is 100% at fault, more like 50/50, but it really should be routine to look both directions when pulling out.

[@BigMackk8]

Thought the same. Almost close to a Darwin award!

[@DNAblue2112]

I was curious about this, it seemed like it would be the law that you can only ride in the correct direction. But I thought I better check. MyLicence (The SA Govenment website for explanations of road laws) says "If you are riding on a road with a bicycle lane, you must if practicable, ride in the bicycle lane. You may move out of the bicycle lane to avoid debris, potholes, or to safely overtake another bicycle rider. You must only ride in the correct direction in the bicycle lane". So it is indeed the case that these people were being idiots.

[@jay-uo2bi]

Rare to see someone genuinely apologetic on this channel. That said at least in QLD, I believe it is the law, and in my opinion logical that you must ride in the same direction as the other lanes. "Direction of travel in a bicycle lane must be the same direction as the traffic in the lane next to the bicycle lane." Bike network should be separate (and actually developed), cycling at half the speed that cars are going with them being entirely invisible behind you is scary.

[@sgtkabukiman9411]

The driver is correct, the cyclist would have been in her blind spot. She should have done a head move to eliminate that blind spot.

Maybe it’s just how I position myself driving, but how is the biker in her blindspot? She should’ve been able to see him before she entered the roundabout

There is not a form one lane in this clip and the bus is changing lanes into the cam owners lane so it does not have right of way. The bus driver is being a dick.

[@Alex-j7c7y]

@@AkiSihtoYou are incorrect. There is a clear merge before the left turn slip lane where the dash cam owner needs to give way to the bus.

[@Cheepchipsable]

@@AkiSihtoLook at the road markings - clearly two lanes are merging and the bus is ahead of the cam car. Instead of moaning constantly when he saw the bus, just backing off for a second would have done the trick, but apparently the cam car was happy to potentially injure passengers on the bus. There is this thing called "road craft" where you are courteous to other drivers who signal their intention but might not have quite enough space to move over. We do this in the hope that when we find ourselves in a similar situation other drivers will extend us the same courtesy. Makes things safer and more pleasant all round.

[@AkiSihto]

@@Alex-j7c7yYou are right and I have no idea how I missed the merge. The cam driver is in the wrong. Also who the hell designed this road? Why is there a slip leading to another split into a turn off and a bus lane sortly after a stop of some sort (both were doing more than 30kph under the posted speed). It seems purpose built to vehicles trying to croos through each other as the centre lane traffic tries to exit left and left lane traffic tries to merge all the way right.

'thank fuck for ABS' should be a DCOA t-shirt surely?

[@Soccera0]

@@ryanmorrison4874No? If your wheels lock up your lose braking.

[@commodorenut]

@@Soccera0 exactly. Most drivers would simply slam on the brakes and slide if they didn’t have ABS. First time I ever did driver training, ABS was rare (early 1990s). Almost everyone slammed in the brakes and slid. By the end of the day, they learnt to modulate their brake foot, but many still didn’t grasp it as well as they could have. It takes skill and knowing your car’s limits to outbrake what ABS can do, and sadly, 95% (or more) drivers don’t have that. I have proved it myself several times at advanced driving courses I organise for our work reps. I did one in my older car (non-ABS 80s model) and another in one of the company cars. I had the shortest stopping distance out of everyone (likely due to my car weighing only 1400kg vs modern ones being 1700kg to 2t). The main thing was that I know the car so well (I’ve owned these models for over 30 years) that I can brake on the limit (in the dry). Motorsport practice also helps. But you are right, the vast majority of drivers would not be able to stop as short without ABS. That’s the reason you no longer see 2 thick black lines (skid marks) leading up to a rear-ender these days, but there were lots of these “evidence lines” in the 80s & 90s.

[@mazwa2007]

@@ryanmorrison4874 mate, it absolutely does NOT take longer to stop a car with ABS than without. ABS has significantly smaller braking distance in the dry and in the wet the difference is so large you may as well be in a different country.

[@clive1539]

Bus had right of way with merge as he was ahead, agreed poor form. Bus driver avoided a collision as at least he was aware of what’s going on.

[@cmdrpanorpa8631]

Bus might have been a little late, but they did give plenty of notice for the driver to slow down and let them in if they were actually paying attention.

Hey dashcam community, you need to have the audio on. we need the "WTF?" and the " Is this c-word serious" "the F-U ahole" and all those verbals that make it great.

[@tin2001]

Audio also can help provide additional information for insurance assessment if something happens out of view. Remember, you can cut out the embarrassing singing before submitting to DCOA, but you can't add back in the missing indicator sounds to show the insurance company you had the indicator on at the roundabout.

Some of the clips get muted because of the music playing on the radio being copyrighted

[@captainunderpants200]

And aim the camera at the goddamn road, not the sky or the dash.

@@-Mr-Frost- its a shame that they have to go through every clip and mute any that have the slightest hint of claimable material, but if they dont some 8th party that has a right to someone who has a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a remix of a cover of a remix of some well known song will strike it and start hoovering up any revenue DCOA may otherwise make from the video

​@tin2001 thank you for this, i never thought about it from perspective, i have my audio off because i dont want anyone to have to hear my trashy taste in music, i might have to turn it back on in that case.

[@JimmyNahlousVisuals]

5:02 This is why I don't change lanes when there is someone at an intersection.. The truck isn't realllly in the wrong, he went to the outermost lane as the camera was in the left most lane initially.. he was being courteous, the Camera, even though had their indicator , changed 2 lanes, I would have stayed put until after the intersection just for this exact reason.

[@-aaron]

Maybe, but it'd also be pretty dangerous without hindsight to plan to cross paths with a truck like that

[@RKJ83]

Yeah the dashcam driver saw a huge obstacle start moving in front of him and didn't even slow down.

[@MattyK166]

Truck driver @27.35 who failed to give way on roundabout needs a talking to by Police. That's the kind of driving that gets anyone in a small car (Honda Jazz) turned into human pulp. Psycho to think you can drive a truck that size with a dog trailer like it's a 500cc GP bike.

[@Badartist888]

12:10 Does no one get taught that you shouldn't enter into an intersection that isn't clear just because your light is green? See so many of these every week.

[@captainunderpants200]

That's incorrect. Unless the road you're entering is choked, you move into the intersection on the green, and if you don't get a gap before the light changes, you make sure oncoming traffic stops, and then clear the intersection. Otherwise, you, and everyone else behind you has to wait another light sequence, and that can happen multiple times when it's busy.

[@emmahelps1188]

What about the lights that have no green arrows? I'd be stuck on South Rd from 5am till 9pm by that logic! You enter the intersection. If there was no opportunity to go while the light was green, when the traffic opposite has all stopped on amber or then red - you then clear the intersection. The next direction has to wait for you to clear. Plain and simple. An idiot in front of me skipped 3 sets of lights doing this once, not hard to learn the rules!
