It's astonishing, too many brain dead drivers on the rd nowadays with absolutely shit reaction times.

[@howardisgod]

I don’t think the fact that these are almost always a fisheye lens helps at all. It makes things look a lot further away than they are. The braking distances in many of these look a lot longer than they actually are. Although one or two could brake sooner.

[@jadesx96]

watching this makes it extremely clear why my driving instructor used to constantly go on about being ready to slow down for people pulling out of side roads. So many of these incidents could have been avoided if the dash cam drivers had been paying full attention to their surroundings

[@SamuelBlack84]

I'm glad I don't drive

[@DraftySatyr]

ALL of those incidents would have been avoided if the drivers pulling out of side roads had opened their eyes. In many of those cases you are doing nothing more than blaming the victim. Yes, we are all duty (and legally) bound to avoid an accident if possible, and that includes driving with due care and attention ("hazard perception"). But when another driver does something so unutterably stupid as to be utterly unpredictable, then there's only one person to blame, and it's not the dash cam driver

[@jadesx96]

@@DraftySatyr Im not saying its not the responsibility of the person pulling out. But accelerating at a hazard and beeping your horn instead of braking makes you no better of a driver than the person who caused the accident in the first place.

6:30 "Was that my fault?" - This is exactly why you shouldn't just let people out when you have priority and there is clearly space for you to move ahead. The Audi should have just waited until Joel gave up trying to let them out.

[@lincslegend6936]

Exactly, the cause of many near misses and crashes.

[@markc5999]

I remember writing something very similar on the original video. 100% she played a major role in that crash, how was the Audi meant to see past her ?

[@stuhodder]

Totally agree with it being her fault. From her side of things I bet she was expecting the audi to just take off down the road rather than cut across it. Also sounds like she knew the person so wanted to let them out. Still partly their fault though!

[@JM-ik3io]

Almost had the same thing happen to me a while back, coming down a long straight 60mph road, someone turning left from a junction on my left, was probably around 15 seconds off her, plenty of time for her to pull out, and the road ahead of me was clear and she started creeping. About 10 seconds off I flashed her out and started slowing down as she was already part way out of the junction, she continued creeping but was now half way out the junction and blocking my lane. 5 seconds away I start really slowing down and flash her again. She just stops dead in her tracks, next thing you know I've had to slam the breaks on and nearly end up with someone in the back of me, luckily they swerved around me and managed to avoid oncoming traffic. Learned my lesson never to let anyone out.

[@Robertlemon]

In all honesty, in that situation you don’t attempt that manoeuvre. Go in the forward direction and then turn around wherever safest. Hindsight and all that!

[@luckysignalusa]

Great learning tool for both new and seasoned drivers. I've been driving for 54 years and always learning how to be a better driver. My Dad's best tip to me when I was learning: when you see someone doing something stupid or making a mistake, give them courtesy of the road.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

6:39 That is most definitely "your fault". Never stop to let someone out on a main road. You obstruct traffic flow and create a hazard, you obscure the view of the person you think you're helping, and you put them under pressure to go even though they are not sure if the road is clear - because you're obscuring their view. It was something both my father and my driving instructor drilled into me a long, long time ago: don't ever make decisions for other drivers - because this will happen.

[@LeeJMcRae]

Your last sentence is total correct, and I completely agree. But, The cam driver isn't making the decisions, using the throttle, or anything of the sort for the driver involved in the accident. The operator of the vehicle is to blame here, the cam car only made the other vehicles situation much more difficult by as you said, obscuring her view and also applying pressure to rush the other driver. On a side note, the other vehicle shouldn't be trying to make a U-turn there too. Not only would a driving instructor give you a bollocking for that, and doing so across 3 lanes, but to add to it that she could barely see anything to make the maneuver even remotely safe....

[@Freerider1972]

Not only that you encourage people to do stupid things. Rights of way are designed for a reason, deviate from them or encourage others to do so and accident will happen.

Lots of lots of folk need to make their new year's resolution to be BETTER people on the roads. But it's hard for a lot of folk to have that level of self-reflection, especially as they are all the best drivers ever.

You can remove "on the roads" and "drivers" and your statement will be even more accurate.

I actually felt quite bad for the guy in the Civic. It’s like he was reevaluating all his life choices up to that point. Also kudos to all the people who rushed over to help in these clips. Too often people just drive passed.

[@Schudulaba]

He sounded so relaxed about it all.

[@lunarose8320]

I'm always shocked with those kinds of clips at the amount of people that are in close proximity (up to 5 or 6 cars back) to major and possibly fatal accidents, especially the ones on things like dual carriageways and motorways, that just slow down a bit to have a good look and drive on past. The BARE minimum that they could do is put their hazards on as they drive past to warn drivers behind them that there's a hazard up ahead! I honestly don't know how they can simply drive past. Even if I wasn't involved but I saw an accident happen in front of me, I'd pull over (somewhere safe if possible) without a second thought and see if there was anything I could do to help. Even if that's just giving any non-injured passengers from the vehicles involved somewhere warm and safe to sit in my car whilst they wait for the emergency services/ recovery. I like to think that the majority of us would hopefully do the same and not just think "meh, someone else will make sure everyone is okay and call the emergency services if necessary".

[@EightPawsProductionsHD]

It's scary really, the amount of 'drivers' that seem to have no concept of a) the size of their vehicle, b) spatial awareness and c) self awareness. I think the UK has finally surpassed Russia in the complete and utter numpties on the roads stakes.

The clips I see in snow and heavy rain always reinforce my opinion that you should always drive to the road conditions, not your perceived driving ability.

[@sooty1410]

Most of the "snow clips" make me think, "Why would you go out when the roads are like that in the first place. ?

[@caskerbang1288]

Its amazing how many of these accidents could have been avoided if the cammer was as quick on the breaks as they are on the horn 😂

[@patrickkparrker413]

That's for sure

[@novtalath]

I like this type of comments. Means you have absolutely no idea what are you talking about. Dash cam lenses are so called 'wide angle' lenses to cover much larger area than a normal one. What it means on a video - you think objects there are much further away from the vehicle fitted with a camera. Ergo - driver has much less time to react that you think (if you think at all). Blabbing, that these were avoidable is a complete nonsense. I would agree that some percent of these WERE avoidable but 5% to 10% at the most.

[@UKMonkey]

​@@novtalath I like these kind of comments - because it shows you've no idea what you're talking about, and you completely miss the point. Moving your foot to the brake is faster than pressing your horn, the other driver looking around, realising it was them you were beeping at, and then if you caught them on a good day, working out they're going to brake. If one is pressing the horn before ones foot is on the break, then defensive driving skills need to be improved. While doing that - in many cases, one might also be more aware when approaching a hazard, and already be slowing down; rather than just gunning it because right of way is had. Breaking then honking reduces the chance of the crash, and at worst, makes the impact less. Exceptions are obviously when NOT so close to the other driver, that they have a chance to react. For example - 24:56 - the break is applied, then the horn. There's no point at all using the horn, because after slamming into the side of the car, one can be pretty sure they're aware that they're aware they've been hit; and they're not notifying anyone of anything other than their anger.

[@LOOKINVERTED]

In caskerbang's defence he said 'how many' of them (not every single one). There were clear and obvious situations where the driver, though not initially at fault, ends up causing an accident when it likely could've been avoided. Some could well be due to the optical illusion you mention caused by the wide-angle lens (they were much closer in reality, I get that) but I could point to a fair few where it looked like the driver getting punked then hit the punker on purpose to prove his / her / their point. Granted we're ready and waiting for an accident when watching these, so are on full alert so it's much easier for us, 'in hindsight' so to speak, to judge who's at fault but if nothing else it proves we must be on high alert at all times - never take your attention away for a split second. Easier said than done but a good lesson.

[@novtalath]

@@UKMonkey You have read the comment... and understood absolutely nothing. Well done. Now go back and read AGAIN and this time spend some time THINKING of what have you just read. Then you MIGHT come to a conclusion that what I have wrote actually makes sense. If you still missing the point - then so be it. Not everyone has more brain cells than average person. I do have a dash cam. You do not see me posting vids because I have some dignity left in me. I do agree that pressing break is faster than using horn yet still some people need that horn otherwise they will continue moving in and definitely cause an incident. You have picked one situation in that vid but miss the bigger picture. As for use of the horn - if some dickhead drives straight in front of you and you have to break and let's say you do use horn - I am sure they don't need to look around on who is using it as they are aware that they are a twat that just not gave way to another vehicle. I would not be surprised if you were one of those that silently use the horn on every possible occasion just not admit to it. And if you will come up with some rubbish about being an advanced driver - spare it.

4:46 - Normally if you use your brakes it slows you down so you don't hit other cars. The horn doesn't and accelerator pedals don't tend to be any help.

Thinking the same myself, on the rare occasions where I’ve had a close call the last thing I can think of doing is blasting the horn, all attention on whatever evasive manoeuvres might be needed
