The driver in this 2014 Chevrolet Impala failed to signal when changing lanes. Rather than waiting a couple of seconds and changing lanes behind the person cycling the motorist decided to cut off the cyclist and block the bicycle lane. This is dangerous and reckless behavior.

The motorist in this vehicle ignored a pedestrian in the crosswalk and drove on the wrong side of the road to make a left turn. A ghost bike at this same location marks the death of Sam Bell who was killed by a driver while bicycling.

The motorist in this 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 failed to signal when changing lanes. Apparently, using a turn signal was too difficult for this driver. They also clearly failed to check their mirrors or otherwise exercise due care and caution.

The driver of the 2021 Nissan Versa in this video drove recklessly during their morning commute. Ashland Avenue, a multi-lane road that is especially optimized for fast car traffic, was only a couple blocks away. Instead, this drive chose to use Wood Street as a "shortcut". Wood Street is a bicycle and vulnerable-road-user optimized street with several prominent "Bikes May Use Full Lane" signs....

Several drivers here roll through stop signs. Motorists often operate their trucks and cars like toys even though they weigh thousands of pounds and can go up to 100mph. These are lazy and dangerous drivers who have an incredible responsibility. Their cars impose an incredible threat to pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.

The motorist in this 2018 Jeep Wrangler failed to signal when making a right turn. Apparently, using a turn signal was too difficult for this driver. Or the driver decided they didn't need to signal when maneuvering their two-ton off-roading vehicle in a dense urban area.

The motorist in the white car failed to stop behind the white line and they stopped their car on the crosswalk while a pedestrian was entering the intersection. Despite these mistakes, the driver had the right of way, but hesitated. They seemingly never saw the pedestrian and accelerated when the pedestrian was directly in front of their vehicle. Terrible driving all around. Date: 2024-01-28 12...

The motorist behind the wheel of this 2017 Ford Fusion can't stay in their lane. They drift into the bike lane in violation of MCC 9-40-060 and stay there for several blocks until turning. This is not how to correctly drive. License plate: IL (Illinois) DR82945 Date: 2023-12-21 7:20 Location: Chicago, IL 60647 Geo: 41.910116, -87.699238

The driver of this 2016 Fiat 500x ran a stop sign and failed to signal. Several motorists here are doing the same thing. Drivers often fail to *completely* stop at stop signs. Drivers operate multi-ton pieces of heavy equipment often capable of moving at over 100mph. Although the video may not make it obvious, there is a stop sign here on the opposite side of the "Do Not Enter" sign. www.google...

The drivers here outside Moos Elementary care more about their own convenience than the safety of kids who may want to bike to and from school. There was ample parking available on California Ave, but the parents here chose to park in the bicycle lane in violation of MCC 9-40-060 forcing anyone on a bike (anyone 12 or older in Chicago) into the same lane as motor vehicles. These motorists parke...

The construction site at 1241 W Division St/~1111 N Elston Ave had a vehicle blocking the bike lane and then immediately behind that truck was a sign stating that the bicycle lane and sidewalk were both closed. Both public ways looked open and fine, but that sudden moment of having to decide to change lanes is how crashes happen. The sight lines were obstructed and the construction crews here f...
