BC's Worst Drivers | Driver Almost Gets Sandwiched!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks for watching my first BC wide video! It took me awhile to get enough footage to put this together so please send this out to people you know in different parts of BC who might be interested in sending me footage!

[@CDBC]

This is a great video collection, great fun to see some of the action going on around our province. Will be great to see more of these!

[@AthenaCannon]

The problem in Victoria is there are lots of older drivers and Karens. You expect them to slowly react and do random things. In addition to ICBC N and L signs, There really should have been a “S” sign for senior and a “K” sign for Karens.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

😅

[@drewc6728]

There was a "C" sign that was going around vancouver for a while. Made the news even

[@vce.john1734]

Same thing in U.S. too there ton of bad drivers.

[@canadian7530]

Awesome new idea of making BC episodes. I like how you put the locations on the bottom right too :)

[@BrokebackBob]

Your channel is absolutely in my top five favorite dash cam channels. Great content and your narration is terrific!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks Bob!

[@wc4109]

1:46 that is crazy dangerous.... huge semi passed on double yellow, stayed on opposite lane, on a curved road 1-lane each way.... so lucky no oncoming traffic, or would have been fatal collision.... should report to authorities.

[@saren874]

That was great! I'm in Victoria and it's fun to see some places I recognize. I hope you get more submissions from around BC.

[@SushiParty]

Yes I love seeing more footage across BC. Bad drivers everywhere.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks for watching John!

[@HLiang007]

Great to see those crazy clips from all over BC! Some pretty scary truck maneuvers 😬

[@gerryparker1390]

James on the e-bike made his own driving mistake in that he cut in front of pedestrians crossing at the crosswalk. This is a very dangerous manoeuvre. James saw them more than likely, but the drivers, bike or otherwise might not be paying attention and just go because someone like James did. I have been nearly mowed down in Maple Ridge because of this when crossing with the walk signal at Lougheed and 227th street. There will be cars lined up to turn left and the lead car leaves on the green to beat me ( not hard to do ) to get through the intersection. The car behind them just goes taking their lead from the car in front. I do not know exactly what the law requires as it is vague, but the walk signal does give the pedestrian the right of way until they are across. Not much comfort if you are hit.

[@jordie00bogart]

That was a fun one! Thanks for posting and taking the time to make the commentary! It always makes these videos more \ entertaining!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks for watching :)

[@northshoregirl72]

2:07 The same thing happened to me back in '98 on the #1 highway just before Chilliwack, except the big rig took my front driver's side tire and bumper with it. I managed to get to the side of the highway, it was a time when cellulars were not frequently used so I had to sit around until someone stopped for me. Really scary.

[@Shottas4Twenty]

From Abby to Hope I have encountered some of the WORST DRIVERS in ALL OF BC

[@CDBC]

2:05 I thought the Coquihalla prohibited semis from using the hammer lane these days? Personally, I don't think rigs should use the leftmost lane on any of our highways, it just jams traffic up too much and most of them follow far too closely also.

[@Gyissan]

Big rigs have no business passing anyone. They are the vehicles that are getting passed.

[@XxXNinjaFanXxX]

I don't think he was passing anyone, if you watch there was a truck in the far right, so he was just moving over from him I think

[@jamieferguson3131]

My Papa was a trucker & he told me that the runaway truck lanes were a literal last option because it costs thousands of dollars and the Trucker is responsible for paying to have them repaired.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Nothing worse than when people take picnics on them! Thanks for watching

[@cheallaigh]

ironically, hubby and i just took a 1200kms trip here in ontario, and we saw ontario's version of one... all i could think about it was... yeah that's so dangerous and going to totally trash the truck. then i saw one in this video and i was like, see! this is how they're done where i'm from. with thick loose gravel to slow the trucks as they kinda sink into them etc. ontario's mountains, really aren't, and sure they have some small steep hills... but nothing like BC.

[@toothpastethy]

Dang, 8:10 the northbound merge on Glenmore in Kelowna. I've seen some weird stuff there, such as the right lane being completely halted because no one in the left gives them space.

[@theteamedward108]

I live in Langford and it was great seeing all of victoria and communities. make a next one please.

[@ubonrat8653]

I moved from BC to SE Asia, rural Thailand is next level crazy

[@xaninator]

I think that red car was trying to give the cyclist extra space

[@FnixGhod1]

I see that all the time, they're just too stupid to realize the bike has its own lane.

[@blitzn00dle50]

2 types of people passing cyclists -the ones who intentionally drive within millimeters of them -the ones who give them a whole fucking school bus length of space for no reason

[@brandonzimmerman4928]

What a great idea for a KZbin channel!! Endless sources to draw from. Well done!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kittrina]

10:02 They might not have understood you don't need to give a bike that much space if they have their own lane

[@WaldoBC]

@ 5:45, it is okay to use the bike lane for turning right and drive over the solid whites lines? I didn't know this. With or without a bike, I thought this was an illegal maneuver. Can you tell me where (in the MVA) it states that this is allowed?

[@CDBC]

The solid white line must become dotted to allow changing lanes across it. Like they do if there's a bus stop. Otherwise you have to turn from the rightmost lane you're allowed to be in; this is actually a good idea because it allows the vehicle driver to keep his car aligned straight, which means his right side mirror covers the bike lane for any cyclists coming up there.

[@kittycat0027]

thanks for using my clip ! :)

[@DetectiveJones]

As someone who grew up on Vancouver Island I always love seeing it mentioned anywhere...I mean it could be in better context than bad drivers but there uh...there certainly were a few there

[@Ry.Guy.]

The first video, that was not a Kia Sorento. It was a new 2022 Hyundai Tucson. And that totally sucks.

[@cheallaigh]

i was thinking the same... but... hyundai/kia same thing anyhow

[@gradnitzersl]

Wow one tooking place right where I work. Uptown shoppping center in Saanich. Not sure if I was working that day. Hope to see more BC's worst drivers.

[@jeckyyeung5072]

How I wish you'll have a Alberta or Calgary version of this!!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Maybe one day!

[@jeckyyeung5072]

Looking forward to it sir!! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@cheallaigh]

lmao i can donate ontario ones... they're almost as bad if not worse in some ways than BC drivers... with the exception of vancouver and the island... thems a special kinda stupid.

[@dtemplar]

Compared to metro Vancouver, these cases are actually quite mild.

[@k.i.1700]

Not really. These are pretty bad too.

[@allenschofield8500]

I love your website, way back in 1975 it was the summer after my first year of University and I worked as a Driver Examiner in Cranbrook BC for that summer. I went on to work as an Immigration Officer, but I did enjoy the driver examiner work. This year I turned 73 last March, and I surrendered my Driver's License and got a BC ID card instead. I didn't surrender it because of my driving, I just don't need to drive around anymore and I don't trust the drivers here. I haven't driven in Vancouver for over 15 years, and I won't drive in Vancouver as the drivers are terrible here. I love Vancouver, it just has a lot of bad drivers it seems.

[@captivatingcupcake1609]

The second clip you did, was actually near where I used to live and... stuff like that happens way more often than one would think, people are stupid sometimes!

[@NWSanta]

Keep up the great work, thanks for pouring all this content together! We will keep sending it to you!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks so much!

[@MrDorf007]

Hi from Kelowna...looking forward to seeing MORE crazy BC drivers.

[@CDBC]

5:44 That there bike lane is marked by a solid - not a dotted - white line there. So by my reckoning it is NOT OK for the driver to move into the lane prior to his right turn. No argument though, he should not have made any maneuver until the cyclist had been able to pass him.

[@DTES]

You are correct!

[@marksman1416]

That was some great reflexes by Bill to avoid a crash.

[@DJJumpdancer]

9:05 and he needs more lights on the side so you can actually see him when your coming up like the cammer did I barely could see him lol

[@naturallyherb]

Thanks for sharing!

[@4paapii]

8:40 I have same ford with tailgate camera and can stop 1cm before hitting car behind. honking was unesecarry, just flash your lights.

[@meadowflower180]

YESSSS been waiting on this one ☝️🙏

[@shanefindscomics]

5:17 James needs to remember that pedestrians also have the right-of-way. The signal is flashing, but they can still cross. Looks like karma came for him at the next crossing.

[@CDBC]

If there's a pedestrian signal (you know, the white pedestrian / red don't walk hand (or red numerical-countdown) the pedestrian is legally obligated to obey that signl. And that means, if they're not facing the white pedestrian symbol, then stepping off the curb is now ILLEGAL. Not that our cops or bylaw officers ever do anything about it, these days ... (If there isn't a separate pedestrian signal, the pedestrian can only step into the crosswalk if the light is green. Most of 'em don't know that, of course.)

[@shanefindscomics]

@@CDBC Johnson St is 5 lanes across & they've crossed 3 of 5 lanes. More than likely they started crossing when it was white and only made it partway before the countdown (still showing) started. He more than likely cut them off.

[@CDBC]

@@shanefindscomics Gotcha, and no argument. I just get so tired of pedestrians who have no respect for vehicles trying to complete their turn.. Hmmm 'their turn' ... would be a great theme for an ICBC safety advertisement!

[@kaiserbillxiv1245]

That clip at 7:15 is on Duncan Ave in Penticton. I live near there. I see many morons run that red light. They figure because it's pedestrian controlled they can go if no one is in the intersection, because supposedly it is not a "real' red light. I seen some close calls at that intersection with red light runners. The light is easy to see. I will look through my camera later this week. Was following a guy in a Dodge (Fiat in reality) pickup by Osoyoos weaving back and forth for a bit. Appeared to be diddling on his phone

[@johnmacdonald5447]

IT's only ok to drive and make a turn over a bike line if the bike line is dotted. Solid line you can not driver over.

[@DJJumpdancer]

7:04 well the cammer had a yellow turn arrow so he has to yield ? ( we only have a green arrow that is either on or off but never yellow ^^)

[@cheallaigh]

some lights go through the same cycle as the main ones with arrows... so green for go, yellow to stop or only proceed with caution, and red meaning don't go. flashing green lights for mains are an advanced green, which is a protected left turn and or pedestrian controlled.

[@lornesbored]

I've spent some time in the UK and I thought the driving out here was bad, but in comparison to Canada the UK is downright civil.

[@eastexotic]

I have seen so many close calls with trucks lately, especially on Knight Street. They have to the reported and sanctioned. Drivers in these semis drive and overtake like they are sports cars. It's frightening!

[@Gyissan]

Trucks have zero business being in the left lane at all. There needs to be an outright ban on them during commuter hours.

[@cheallaigh]

i grew up by 41st and knight... some things never change

[@prabhdeepsingh2390]

Awesome video, Moral: Never mess with a Trucker and Police officer who got stuck on the curb, thinks it as DEATH Is Driving alongside you😂😂😂😂😂

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Good point haha thanks for watching

[@RogerWKnight]

Will we be seeing a Washington's Worst Drivers? We get drivers with brain farts and we have our share of creativity on the road.

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Probably not but who knows maybe one day! If there's enough BC videos I'll try and do Canada videos and maybe after that North American videos!

[@RogerWKnight]

@@vancouversworstdrivers We don't seem to get as many driving on the left side of the road. The occasional over the centerline headlight kisser happens once in a while. One of my favorite roads is Washington State Route 9 between Arlington and Clear Lake. Scenic during the day but you will notice that there is NO SHOULDER on many of the windy stretches and that white border stripe looks very faded. 9 is fine from the border crossing at Sumas to Sedro Wooley but if the Sun is going down, I strongly recommend going over to I-5.

[@kaiserbillxiv1245]

Most probably are ex Commiefornians.

[@apexaero]

The outside lane is the Slower Lane Squeaky!

[@ant-1382]

Drivers in Nanaimo are insane!! Especially on the parkway. Even in the pouring rain traveling at 120 k.p.h weaving in and out of traffic.

[@Sean-John]

Finally my picture of the cop driving over the curb/wall made one of the videos!

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Ya I've held onto it for awhile lol

[@DailyerDoseOfInternet]

The clip of maple leaf rider in Victoria is actually a clip in Nanaimo downtown I know the exact corner

[@henrym5908]

10:29 I've come to expect this behavior from humans when I come up on my bike; I slow down on one side of the path, they turn around on the other, see me, and then inexplicably scurry across the path in front of me.

[@midnightkitty8172]

On one hand I love these videos and want more, but on the other hand I realize it would mean we'd have so many more bad drivers~! 🐱

[@CDBC]

4:31 This is technically interesting. That chunk of rock hit the side of that vehicle with so much force that the side curtain airbag detonated!

[@NorthernBCFlyGuy]

that intersection in billy's pond is a fucking nightmare

[@MudVenturesOff-Road]

7:58 I can't tell you how many times I see people parked in truck runaway lanes. DON'T DO IT, It's stupid If a truck needs that lane cause he can't stop he is going to run into you

[@oliverbrubacher9608]

How do you know he didnt just use it? Ik ive had to use them before because my brakes stop working.

[@MudVenturesOff-Road]

@@oliverbrubacher9608 I guess I worded that wrong. I'm just saying I've seen people parked in them. Had there been a car parked in it while he needed that runaway lane. Then it would've been a bad out come

[@cheallaigh]

@@oliverbrubacher9608 people pull over, stop, take a driving break, eat a meal etc in them... way back when, i've even see people park at the base of one and treat it like a scenic freakin hike.

[@oliverbrubacher9608]

@@cheallaigh but how do you know that is what they were doing? how do you know their car didnt malfunction and need to use it to get off the road or to stop in general because of a break problem? Ive had to use them because my breaks broke once. It is not clear from the video.

[@cheallaigh]

@@oliverbrubacher9608 did you even read what we wrote?

[@DetectiveJones]

2:51 Aye Nanaimo!

[@Vibe4ant]

10:01 maybe her mom died on a bike by falling into traffic so she just was being extra careful?

[@spencersmith2159]

7:54 is the connector (97c) not the coke

[@adam346]

where I am, if they make the bike-lanes double-wide to make them bi-directional, all it means is cars will park there.

[@bcrproductionsofficial]

That’s Nanaimo not Victoria at 9:28

[@vancouversworstdrivers]

Thanks!

[@NickolasStengert]

Whistler Video: Driver in the car was being impatient and doesn’t like to wait for traffic to move! So, that’s why he was using the shoulder to bypass the cars that are taking too long and not waiting in line!

[@splitloopgaming3523]

6:25 car didnt judge the speed properly, had no time to get infron of dumptruck while it was making a pass. instead of going back behind the cube van, they chose to merge between the two.

[@avidyoutuber4952]

10:04 The driver was giving the biker on the bike lane a wide berth. I guess he just had the BC Drivers test which asked...how much space should you give if you see a biker on the side of the road?

[@seadub1630]

10:02 That driver appears to be one who has had a bad experience with a cyclist and does more than required to stay the heck away from them. I am in the group. You tend to exaggerate the distance needed. Note that they returned to their lane after passing the bike.

0:56 he didnt drive off he parked up and checked his car first I mean why not and the video doesn't show if he drove off after that and didnt give the other driver his information

[@cheallaigh]

because the video wasn't from a cammer? it was from a building, so, they would know if the guy returned and left a note or informed the suv owner.

Laws involving cars yielding to bicycles are legitimate, but are implememented in a way that almost encourage car cycelist collisions. Cars barely yield to one another.

[@rhuephus]

what ???? NO crashes ???? oh, nevermind .. this is from Canada, not RUSSIA

[@richardwaleed]

No. Its completely not okay to turn over a bike lane, as you stated. Especially if the bike lane is designated with a solid white line! As was shown in the video. You never and I repeat NEVER cross a solid white line. Its a pretty simple rule that not many understand. Treat the solid white line as if it was a brick wall.
