- The only thing more LA than driving in LA, is not driving in LA.
It’s an older proverb I’m repurposing. Trust me, they'll be able to tell you drive like someone who lives in LA.
Welcome back to driving with your favorite agitated driver in Los Angeles capturing all those crazy bad drivers for your pleasure.
What is my favorite clip? Oh thanks for asking hehe. Well from running red lights, reversing into me, cutting me off, driving in the rain… I think the old corvette, or whatever that car is, that was basically weaving in and out of the one lane and one parking lane on Crescent Heights was insane. Runner up though is the vegan advertisement projected and now I’m giving them even more visibility. Oh, and third place is seeing Lisa Vanderpump get out of her car, even though you can only see her for a split second in the beginning of that clip. I just feel like a secondhand reality TV star by seeing them.
Also follow me on Instagram where I post literally nothing related to this channel, except that it’s me. A honk for a like?? Haha. / swag0ner
FYI I read each and every comment, anyways see you next month dashcam fam!
I thought the traffic in GTA V was shit and unrealistic, but Rockstar did a pretty good job with it.
Haha sounds like they got it down to a tee.
yep
I did a video on that! Bad Drivers of LS
"Quit honking, can't you see I'm on the phone?!?"
Literally "I'm almost done, one second"
I love your channel and how you're the only dashcammer that actually shows his face
Thank you! And yeah, I think it adds a personal touch. :)
that and he's cute as hell, to be real.
1:41 I don't see how people can drive like that with classic cars. Classic cars irreplaceable if they get damaged!
You can get just about anything for a 1955-70ish full size Chevy two-door hardtop. But it's only original once.
Does his own body work.
@8:24 - The funeral procession on the freeway. When my Dad passed, they had to transport him from Gardena to to Riverside. (He's buried @ the Riverside National Cemetery). I was stationed in the Pilippines when he passed, came home on emergency leave for the funeral, so I don't know what route they took, but I imagine it was the 91 freeway.
Got it, so they did that because he was buried at a different location than the place where the ceremony occurred?
Where I come from, drivers yield to funeral processions. Regardless if you're on the freeway or a city street.
Something called respect.
this is LA, do you think people give a fuck
These videos make me scared of driving in LA haha...which is where I'm driving to In a few weeks
Tech Defender me too 😳😂
Tech Defender I'm going their in a month, I'm watching this so I know where is a "safe" and "nice" place to drive. Lol
Let me know what you think of driving here!!
Legend has it that those drivers stuck on La Cienega just barley got home right now, 5 days after this video was uploaded.
LA doesn't even seem fun to drive in. Just very annoying.
BadDrivers PA it just genuinely sucks
BadDrivers PA it is annoying especially down town 🙄
It really is annoying. I can be having a great day and by the time I drive home I'm in a bad mood.
BadDrivers PA it is very annoying lots of traffic! That's why I got myself a motorcycle
Its fun when you join in
"I almost died" LOL SURE
You clearly dont understand the damage that a collision between two cars going over 30mph can cause.
@@tranquility2745 he was going like 30 kph at best..
@@WasephWastar Even if it were 30, the damage would still be severe.
10/10 points for your sassy descriptions and LVP sighting! I’m so glad I stumbled upon your channel - I love it 😍
People complain about LA drivers can't drive in the rain. Lived just north of Detroit for about 8 years. The first snow fall, cars are sliding all over the place. I just had to laugh. No better than we are.
the cab cutting off you and others was great, heard the window roll down was hoping to hear you tell him off lol
0:20 I bet that guy gets honked at so much that he doesn't even know it happens anymore lol
Haha right, he's like whatever just keep going.
legend has it those cars on la cienega are still waiting to pass lmaoooo
To me, one of the signs of maturity is letting little things go. Disconnect your fucking horn already, leave the house a few minutes early, and you'll live a happier life.
I think I've improved with my road rage since I was a teenager.
La Cienega: "Let's take la Cienega. It's GOT to be faster than the 405, right?"
Haha right, how bad could it be? Oh...
My wife is from L.A. and tells me about how bad it is to drive over there (I'm born and raised in south Louisiana). I told her it couldn't be that bad...I was wrong.
You've got a new subscriber ✌🏻️
Haha awesome! I'm sure she has some good driving stories.
You win the award for best captions in your clips. The shade is real!
Hahaha thank you, serving shadiness all day.
La Cienega is such a nightmare in the afternoon! Idk how people can survive driving through there. Same thing for the 405 and 10 freeways. BDGLA 34 will feature Santa Monica, Marina del Rey and Venice, which I'll release sometime in June. Great video!
Nice, I'll keep my eye out for that vid! Yeah those routes are always terrible!!
I agree!! i used to go to SMC in Santa Monica and shit there's always traffic in MAJOR intersections no matter what time it is LOL! and yes people drive like idiots all the time. Reminds me when i was driving Mexico city almost a like on how they drive here in L.A.
Love the shots of La Cienega, definitely captures LA picture.
Lmao ken will always be Ken😂😩 notice the two Altimas racing old vs new 6:19
I've never seen or ever been in La Cienega when it was THAT packed. That went far!
Thanks for the update sir, I love the horn on your vehicle. My"favorite" was 6:30 because wow... ☺
Thanks man for another upload!
You got it! Thanks for tuning in!
LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!
Thank you!! :)
5:13 to 5:43 Actually going all the way to the end of a merging lane and hugging the shoulder stripe when you merge, although rude, is a more efficient use of space and reduces the length of the backup.
One with "I can't " that's no way to baby a cherry car like that. Wreck it and it's gone for good.
So many intense clips! California is like a whole different world! And I thought I had it bad in New Jersey...
I miss when people actually heeded horn honking.
Great video as always!
Thank you! And I'm sure it's bad there as well, plus I've heard people are generally more aggressive out there haha.
I have no first-hand experience with driving in California, so I can't say who's more aggressive. But NJ drivers ARE very aggressive. Especially in the North Eastern region near New York City.
"no respect and i almost died" ....... *_I_* almost died lollllll
I just came back from Los Angeles last weekend to watch a family member of mine graduate from USC. I got to experience the horrible driving. It was horrific. Everyone was just cutting close and just are careless. Driving in LA was scary. The traffic can also get hectic. Overall, I liked it though... Nice episode.
Oh wow, yeah then you know all about the traffic scene out here. Did you get to hear Will Ferrell speak?
Drivers of Los Angeles I'm just seeing this because my phone decides not give me notifications from CZcams sometimes, but unfortunately not.
On the plus side, I don't feel so bad about driving in Houston anymore. Now, if I still lived in Dallas I might give you a run for your money, but LA has Houston beat.
love it when u post
I appreciate that, thank you!
Awesome captures! Definitely a sub.
Teamwork makes the dream work, I'm gonna use that.
I actually got break checked at a light. Car let me merge in behind a truck (Which was the first one at the light) due to traffic, and I had to get pretty close to him. Light changed, he moved a foot and a half and hit his breaks. Sure as shit I rear ended him. If it wasn't for the fact that I had a dash cam, I'd have been liable. Instead he's the one owing for the $10,000 in damages to my car. Dumbass didn't even have insurance, I don't feel sorry for him at all.
Motorcycle funeral escorts aren't necessarily police even if they do wear uniforms and have flashing lights on their bikes. Some can be private funeral escort services even. I believe the usual idea behind having two cycles, however, is for the lead cyclist to run ahead just a bit, block cross traffic at the next intersection, and the cycle behind then runs up to the front to do the same at the intersection after that. In general, the idea is to keep the procession moving and ultimately get OUT of traffic with minimal disruption.
Oh that makes sense because I was surprised you could just buy out cops like that. I could see how they're not exactly cops, but part of an escort service.
When assholes don't merge on the freeway and decide to try to get farther up, I genuinely enjoy it when people (myself included) refuse to allow them to merge.
Another great video
Thank you!!
Why would anyone want to live in LA by choice? So many cars, so much traffic, craziness everywhere and pollution!
I don't know, maybe because they look at the good parts too? You can't focus on only the bad parts of things if you want to enjoy life.
LA is amazing
I have never seen traffic back up ever like that. Though maybe that's because I'm from Central Alberta, and as Canadians we're polite enough to make sure there's options to get off every however many feet lmao.
Today a semi driver thought that it was a good idea to reverse across a small, very busy road for 3 minutes from a gas station to someone's lawn/driveway.
That's insane, I would have gotten so furious for him blocking the road for that long. Grr.
Bro I love watching your videos so far I watched every single bad drivers of Los Angeles
I love this channel since I do live in the area where you usually end up driving at, and do see all these people drive like idiots 🙄 I capture most of it but end up deleting it because it takes so much time to edit and upload, glad you have this channel!
You should totally upload as well! There are so many crazy incidents in LA, we need more documentation.
What if I bought you a train horn?
I can't believe you passed a hearse. When did that become a thing?
Somehow the driving in a city with more than 5 million people is better than the driving in my small town in the south.
End my life.
I live in south Orange County and have even been on some of those streets and freeway (usually in a bus or shuttle van). My modus operandi for going to L.A. is to drive to the train station and take the train to Union Station, then the light rail to get about - especially since it is usually just me and I am going to places easily served by the L.A. light rail system. And if I go to LAX, it is by shuttle van. By and large, drivers are self-absorbed dolts who are sure they are the only ones that matter and will do anything to get that one extra car space ahead, even if it makes no difference to the length of their commute. Hence my desire to stay off the road.
Carl FromTheOC The 5 down here (tustin area) turns to shit during the workdays
LOL!!! Love the video!!!!
Thank you!! :)
You are welcome!
As you can tell we have wwaayy too many people here already. Please, the rest of the world, stop coming here. LA is full, please leave😤😤
Nice video like always, it's hilarious bc I live around and I see the same type shit everyday... What car do u drive now?
Right! This stuff happens all the time. I drive a red Mercedes GLK and I love it. :)
THE LONG WAIT IS FINALLY OVER
Haha I know I took over a month this time. I'm trash I know. :P
A parking lot? Sure, he has his "Park Anywhere" flashers on!
Right?? Grr, not a fan of that at all, especially on main streets.
Thanks for reminding why I'm glad I don't live on So Cal anymore. :-)
Haha you got it... Although I heard traffic in Atlanta is pretty bad over there as well.
I missed your videos!
Aww I'm glad you enjoy them so much. Took a bit longer than usual.
you know youre going too slow when a prius flashes you
That red on your Mercedes is fricking fabulous!!
Good video!
And this is why I moved to a small town in Kentucky. Well also because it is cheap AF, people are chill, and shit ton of jobs in Lexington, which is only a 10 minute drive and even in rush hour, it's never a parking lot. Just go with the flow.
Is it legal to undertake (aka overtake on the right side) in the US?
I drive in LA everyday and 80% of this video is normal driving here
I agree, but I still think it's pretty crazy driving.
Drivers of Los Angeles 😂😂I guess I'm just used to it
@ 0:38, in his defense, i drive the same exact truck and that truck spins out really easily in the rain
1:50 that guy must have a death wish. He drives like an idiot in an OLD car, that has (by modern standards) shitty brakes, shitty suspension, shitty steering, no crumple zones, no airbags, probably no seatbelts, no roll or crash cage. If he's lucky the windscreen is a modern laminate,
One with traffic jam, yep, got that here in Michigan as well. Especially on M59 eastbound afternoon after 2 pm. Mile after mile. Bad if you got 1/8 of a tank left.
The funeral thing is actually very common...not sure why but I see it often
what i dont get is why not give some room to the truck drivers? People never learn if you see a truck it is not there because he likes to drive there but he is working and give him/her some room to manouver 2:06 and beyond, Truck is backing up, noo i am in a hurry let me cut you and dissapear because the truckdriver cant see you! Take a 2 minute break dont give a truck driver a heart attack and relax in your car Please :D
2:14 you can see his hand, he waved me forward, I was going to wait. I don't want that shit hitting my car.
phew glad thats over...2 garbage trucks: YOU SHALL NOT PASS
Right?!? How did that make sense.
why would they even have 2 garbage trucks together? most go a separate route where i live
The first video is where you lost me..."I almost died."
Literally every major city has a parking police division
It totally looked like that big ass Nissan van (in the parking garage) hit you. I was scared lol
I'm surprised he didn't, it was soooo close.
With a traffic like in LA Cienega, how much time do they actually spend there?
Right? That had to have been over 30 minutes of just sitting there.
Great video as always !!
I can't believe the traffic jam on La Cienega. Is this an everyday occurance? If so, I'd buy a helicopter.
Thank you! It usually is bad, but that was an extreme case, I something drastic must have happened further up that directly.
09:50 Face reveal!
.....and u know the crazy that happens to me!
After watching this I need a Xanax and a hot bath
2:10 can trucks not park... give them room they need it god forbid you spend 10 secs watching someone with more experience than you back into a space
La Cienega looks like a nightmare.
I wasn't watching the cars, I was looking for GTA5 landmarks. I think I saw Trever Phillips.
I am so sad when your videos end. My favorite clip was on the street with two obstacle course on it.
I'm glad you enjoy watching it so much! Glad you liked that clip as well, it was so ridiculous that it happened back to back like that.
Only someone with a blown ass ring can get upset at Cali traffic..... RIP snowcat
I don't know what you're saying.
Some of your maneuvers aren't exactly polite either. Also I doubt the one wayness of that one way street. The street parking appears to be by directional. I can tell you though Bull shit drivers are universal.
I would probably choose an area where I didn't have to make that kind of commute and I would try being in walking distance if possible for work etc... save myself the fuel money
6:27 If traffic gets backed-up like that everyday, I would never take that road.
Park La Brea!!! LOL, good times
Please please please upload more!!!!
Haha I'm trying!
How do you keep your sanity in La? I don't think I'd stay sain there.😬
The funeral procession are not necessarily cops. You can rent those guys.
5:10- Guess those drivers didn't want to feel left out from what the driver on the median did
Haha yeah, pulled over to see the attraction. :P
man L.A. ive punched mirrors for less than alot of stuff in this video
The impala that passed you was probably stolen because why would you want to drive a car like that so wreck less? The owners of these cars typically drive slow. (Or so from what I've seen)
La Cienega=I-4 in Florida during rush hour
9/10 a BMW driver being a c**k on a phone.
Cab drivers are the WORST !
Ugh I know, I've had so many negative experiences. Lyft for me whenever I can.
Good vid.
You're not a nitpicker. Just some L.A. drivers not driving courteously......just common sense.
Thank you! Yeah there are things that people do that annoy me, but I try and filter to what is actually interesting on here.
2:15 because hes backing in to the drive way.
1:40 those cars are parked in bad spot. Those are accidents just waiting to happen.
I live in a rural area so traffic as bad as 6:29 that isn't caused by an accident confuses and frustrates me. Thankfully traffic in Charlotte, NC generally doesn't get that bad.
That happens all the time, completely dead stopped on the freeway for no reason.
and that's why lane splitting on a motorcycle is legal in Cali
I live in Washington, the area I live in has basically no bad drivers, But I'm moving to LA soon, so wish me luck 👌😂
I'm curious what you'll think of the driving culture here.
The vanderpumps are my ish. I watch Vanderpump rules every time it's on
Right, I love them. You go Lisa.
Laying on the horn to get better YT footage will probably get this guy beat up, if not shot, when he honks at a true psychopath or road rager. Dangerously playing the odds. If so, it’ll probably be on Fury Road. (Hope that doesn’t happen, of course.)
Good job we need to have slime to tag bad drivers
And warn others lol
