Stop cutting people off!! Dragonspit Reacts: Worst Drivers Illinois

[@SjanaWilgani]

If your tires are as smooth as your brain, you don't drive. You get your smooth ass tires changed.

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

Amen! 🙏

[@Ragehunger]

Don't forget to also wash your brain properly to get those wrinkles back. It's a very crucial step to success in life.

[@JohnDoe-on6ru]

But if my tires are as smooth as my brain and I tell myself I shouldn't drive, wouldn't it be a bad idea to listen to myself since I'm so stupid?

[@kebobs3727]

I was waiting for this one. As a Chicagoland resident who drives a lot, I recognize many of these areas and roads/ramps. Can confirm this type of thing is basically normal.

[@Ichigo2k9]

Ignoring the rules of the road for the moment, so many of these accidents wouldn’t happen if people used their goddamn eyes.

[@Peelster1]

8:36 The cam driver says "That's not your lane!" But it actually is. You can see at the beginning of the clip that the far left lane is left only and the lane to the right of that, which the red car is in, is left and straight. The cam driver should be staying harder to the left, they end up switching from the left to the middle lane in the middle of the intersection.

[@smugdragun]

Plot twist, the lady that got chain frustrated is really Spit :P j/k..... but really though >.>

[@sanguinius113]

yellow light car jousting is a time honord tradition in Illinois, aparently

[@JohnDoe-on6ru]

Green lights are a suggestion, I always look both ways

[@jameskirkman2942]

I have a friend who has a response to bad drivers......he has a 5-chime locomotive airhorn mounted on the headache rack on his truck........it definitely gets people's attention when he uses it.

[@crimsonmaelstrom573]

Does he have any spare locomotive horns I could use?

[@RealArcalian]

"That's not your laaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAne!"

[@Off-HandedBarrel]

6:30 That's actually common with early 2000s GMC and Chevy trucks. The hubs separate even though the nuts are torqued properly. Factory defect with how the hubs were designed. Almost always the driver rear, too. Something about how force is applied to it differently compared to the drive tire on the passanger rear. Had a new hub on an 03 Silverado do this a couple of years ago. Having to replace one rim and hub cap to match all the others was the real pain. Re-doing the rear end was nothing compared to tracking those down.

[@CasuallyCareening]

Looked like the hub and brake rotor/drum were still attached though?

[@bossman4799]

I moved from Ny to IL and luckily haven’t really seen an increase in dumb drivers but there’s still plenty around.

[@axelmilan4292]

5:35 another classic case of "big truck, small brain"

[@CasuallyCareening]

33:41 What happened is the SUV's front left tire collided with the other car's rear right tire, and they essentially grabbed each other. When this happens, a tremendous amount of energy/force from the collision is built up due to the elasticity/friction of the rubber and centrifugal/centripetal forces of the tires spinning at hundreds of rpm and hitting each other. The energy/force is then rapidly released, kind of like a rubber band, and flings the car in the air. The centripetal/centrifugal force of the left side of the SUV being flung up causes it to flip to the right. Not a perfect explanation, but it should suffice. There are good examples of this in racing. Especially with single seater open wheel cars like F1, IndyCar, F2, F3, etc., where the entire car can be thrown into the air from touching tires. Unfortunately it seems hard to specifically google. I suppose crash compilations are the best place to find them.

[@CasuallyCareening]

21:57 Dude was speeding through a yellow, doing at least 50, and hitting a car coming at him, so that's a closing speed of over 60mph. It doesn't matter what car you're in, you're gonna be hurting like that or worse. They got lucky.

[@xinx-fn8973]

At 4:42 the car ahead of the Kia forte that crashed is a Ford Focus ST, pretty quick little hot hatch

[@testaklese]

23:05 was equally dash cam guys fault and the other guy's you should not be trying to blow through the yellow light like that when you clearly have enough time to stop. edit: actually, I think I place the majority of the blame on the dash cam guy

[@SixWingZombi]

27:45 so for a bit of contex and explanation: Semis and other high profile/tall vehicles are often fighting the wind as much as they drive. This appears to be a case where the FedEx trucker got hit with a pretty stiff gust of wind and nearly got blown into the other truck. Source: I drive a tall van and have nearly been blown off the road several times while driving these flat, open highways. Its dangerous out there when its windy. AND IT GETS REAL FUCKIN WIMDY

[@keith_5584]

2:31 Neither Windshield broke? Those frames are insanely strong!

[@StarWars.Gamer06]

Personal experience: I was driving down a tight road when someone from the left lane turned into my lane and cut me off, less than a foot from hitting me. The car then turns into a right turn lane, but instead turning right, the car turns into my lane right in front of me again. We then come across a railroad crossing light and the car turns right on a red light (which you're not suppose to do at a railroad crossing). Luckily instant CARma hit them when it turns out a officer was right behind us the whole time. I cheered all the way to where they pulled over, then I focused back on the road and got home with no other issues. 5:28 I know this street. 28:40 This happened in Peoria, not Pekin. 57:35 That bowling alley is where my younger sister always has her birthday parties.

[@xkblxcripple]

At 19:00 the white care looks like it moved over however the lane got wider and just looks that way as there must be an exit coming for the truck to want to move over. Truck wanted to change lanes and didn't look.

[@xHadesStamps]

They definitely moved over. They were on top of the yellow inner shoulder line

[@koil475]

Supposedly when I was a child with my first younger brother, I can't remember which parent was driving, the back of the car we were in got hit and we spun and supposedly my first reaction was "Wee do it again." I must been a weird kid, since I'm weird now.

[@vapegames7440]

I live in Chicago. this is only the crap that gets caught on camera. there has been far worse. I've seen people drive down the express way driving on their brake rotor, they are still keeping up with traffic.

[@kaseyboles30]

You can usually get a smallish decductible for very little change in insurance price. I once saw a case where going from $50 to $250 would have saved me $6 a month on a $110 policy. I cose the smaller deductible.

[@LoganMcneeseRacing88]

That jeep semi is a jeep transport company out of Joliet Illinois

[@VDruid50]

#4 Was definitely a 2 way street. The white Tundra was in the wrong there. You can see where the white lane for oncoming traffic is supposed to stop ends and the other part where the Tundra was is not marked the same. So unless it wore off over time. Definitely a 2-way street.

[@CasuallyCareening]

32:20 truck's running lights and headlights were off

[@wolfyhalfmoon819]

Trucker physically couldn't see him 18:14 one of my fears.

[@NejedNiko]

My teacher tought me "Yellow is a warning for you to slow down to stop if possible, OR for you to shift the first gear and get ready". You may pass if braking would be danger to others, such as a sudden stop But how do you get so privileged that you decide that everything bends to you, that's just beyond me ... and it's more and more common in the world. This selfish egocentric behaviour ... why btw - I am considering posting my own dash footage. Not to brag, but you'd like it, I have a high quality cams. Old car, yes, but I invested in the cam after I had a crash falling asleep on highway (nobody hurt) and had no idea what happened (I somehow went through a ditch, back on the road and parked on sideway with both front tires punctured badly, woke up right after).

[@Zixxyz]

YOEEEEE she had a mustang with a flowmaster on it???? genuine oshi material right there

[@xtheregulator42x]

that white car in video 11 ran the red way more than the Escalade did video 19. i think 50/50 both ran yellow light, so both could be blamed equally

[@Phantom.Gaming64]

I get that accidents happen, but how did some of these drivers get their license?

[@dougkyle685]

The only time I drove on pain killers was because my blood sugar was in the 40s and I was out glucose tabs

[@therealkingslayer51]

34:52 It looks like this was the car that actually got hit. From what I can tell, it looked like the SUV ramped up off the back of the car in the picture here, leading to the SUV being upside down by the median.

If you like severe car crashes, I recommend checking out Assorted Car Crashes.

54:05: They tried to do a Thatch-weave and failed

[@Fleet_of_fog]

48:27 dudes playing Rush excellent pick

[@bohicagaming4462]

We need sound bites of that lady lol

[@Pappa_Mac]

...i feel targeted. This is the first video of yours I've been recommended, and i have not heard of you collabing with any vtuber I watch, and i live a mile from the intersection at 30:00. I've lived in this county for my entire 37 years, and this is all Illinois drivers...

[@kitsuneL0V3]

from live to watching it again

[@thorin1045]

not sure why the car who turns try to play as if they had any chance to be in the right. some are on the edge, but most are clearly the strait going car has the right of way by default, no question even possible.

[@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer]

Not when they speed up to get into the intersection and the turning car is already in the intersection.

[@sincerelyotaku7878]

Bro im from Illinois XD i feel honored my state made it here

[@Firehawk806]

21:56 id say it was the cam drivers fault. he was far enough to have slowed down to stop when the light turned yellow and it just barely turned for the guy turning

[@bradlawonn9042]

You know the drivers are bad if the video is an hour long just from 1 state alone.

[@cptdeadpool9939]

Amazon driver was in the wrong, and dashcam was being a ass. Amazon van had a double solid yellow lines that means turning anyway was illegal.

[@xHadesStamps]

0:52 I also hate when A. the brake lights and rear turn signals are combined, and 2. the rear turn signals are red, not amber 1:56 Pretty sure civilians aren’t supposed to PIT people. 4:08 It is not. Where the pickup turned to, however, is, going the opposite direction (or actually, the exit to a parking lot) 4:57 If I am to make a guess, they were going too fast for the loop ramp they were on. 6:38 Looks like the wheel nuts weren’t even close to sufficiently torqued down 13:06 There’s a perfectly good sidewalk... 15:21 Sort of. One car at a time is allowed to guarantee a left turn when the light changes (as long as it isn’t a red arrow; those you need to stop and stay for), but the last *clear* chance doctrine applies-that chance *must* be clear. Really, they should’ve waited a bit longer. 19:56 If I were the driver in that Equinox, I would’ve ended up hitting. They came incredibly close. It’s a miracle they didn’t hit. 26:01 Nope, Toyota Sienna. 29:00 I really hope that isn’t the death trap cloverleaf at the I-80/I-55 junction 30:46 Yes, two cars getting in front is totally how to zipper merge. Totally (/s) 39:40 Any amount is too much to drive if they just had it. 40:50 They used their turn signal, but they were pretty close, but cam driver also did slow down. 42:12 Hmm, something tells me they were a little too close to make that lane change 43:31 Drive for the conditions!! Even with winter tires, you need to slow down! 44:07 Judging by those lighting flares, I think the windshield may have an astigmatism. Granted, so does mine (as happens after 20+ years of bombardment by particulate matter). 57:39 I do not see a signal on that Journey.

[@PsychoMatt6061]

“Elinois”. My lady, we call it “ill” inois . I’m from “sh*t” cago so I know what I’m talking about!

[@jamesscalzo3033]

Loved the video @dragonspitvt! Can't wait for the next video Girl! I never thought you'd have driven a Mustang, I thought you would've have something like maybe an Audi A4 Quatro or something LMAO! Interesting thing of note for your tires is that the Technical term for Those with Worn Treads is that They're Bald. My dad worked at Merchant's Auto while he was in College, so he's always working on the Cars at home when he's got the Time for it as well as the Money to Buy the Needed Parts. The 1984 Pontiac Fiero has sadly become a Project on it's own at this point. Two Tires that need to be Changed out, Front Windshield needs to be Replaced because our Neighbors Hickory Tree dropped a Nut on it (by the Top edge where it meets the Framing) and cracked it (Subsequent Bad weather made it so that the Interiors probably going to have to be Redone as well) on top of it hasn't been driven since about 2012. Within a year or so of my dad getting it, he was brought into Traffic Court for Speeding, Cop Didn't show up but apparently in the State of Maryland any cars with a Spoiler are considered to be Sports Cars and even if you're in the Speed Limit you're still getting a Speeding Tricket. So guess what, My dad had to Remove the Spoiler and fill in the Holes where the Screws to hold it down went. Let me know what you think about this and I'll catch you in your next video Girl!

[@LoganMcneeseRacing88]

26:57 is on I 74 below Peoria high school

[@BrendanMatthews-xw5ex]

for those that do not know about flashing red traffic light the dash cam at fault if he had hit that car this why. When you see a flashing red light, you stop your vehicle completely, observe the traffic around, and proceed with caution once you are clear that rule there

[@xHadesStamps]

Nope, flashing red traffic signals are treated as stop signs. When all signals are flashing red, it’s treated as an all-way stop. Last clear chance would make the cam driver liable if they did indeed have the chance to stop, but the car they hit shouldn’t have proceeded.

[@madeingermany9445]

22.00 why that guy still drving over orange when there is a car taht wants to turn?????? had so much time to stop. his fault

[@VDruid50]

#8 looks to me like the Ford's fault mostly.

[@maddhatterize]

I did warn you

[@jaskim5723]

54:01 Indianapolis, IL? Wtf?

[@VDruid50]

#19 cam driver did seem to be going awfully fast. Not saying it was their fault but yellow means slow down not continue to go really fast. I mean it turned yellow long before hte cam driver got to the intersection. They had 10 years to slow down. I feel like maybe some fault could be placed on the driver turning, but also cam driver did not appear to slow down at all.

[@rafeminsi]

29:38 In Need For Speed, I had one such race where I happened to side another racer. Sent the racer up a hill into a tree. Not sure if I saw that one cross the finish line later.

Oh boy. My other neighbor state. Also, the reason why Ill drive 2 hours out of the waty to take a train into Chicago rather than drive into chicago.

[@xtheregulator42x]

yea into chicago is the worst

[@NepyNepu]

This is why I hate driving around more populated areas, gonna stick to the rural places, though sometimes people ignore the speed limit around here but that’s about it

[@Nikoline_The_Great]

Wow. You guys got high speed intersections? That seems like an awful idea. Who had the bright idea of letting people go close to highway speeds on a road where other cars can cross over an opposing lane?

[@madeingermany9445]

why has america still red blinker lights insted of orange?

[@roflBeck]

It's actually up to the manufacturer. It can be either.

[@madeingermany9445]

@roflBeck 👍🏻

[@xHadesStamps]

Because bureaucratic inertia.
