That first driver who caused the accident had a lot of nerve threatening a lawsuit against the truck drivers boss considering he didn’t even have insurance!!!! What a tool
What's the penalty for driving uninsured? Would insurance company try to recover from the uninsured driver's asset?
@Trust_but_Verify from what I've seen? There isn't one
@@Trust_but_Verify They likely have no assets. Police should impound the car though. Deprive them of the car for driving uninsured.
@@Trust_but_Verify what are you serious? Well first off it’s a ticket the fine probably depends on the state, second you have to pay out of pocket to fix you crappy Altima in his case buy a new one. I am sure there is something I am missing as well, bottom line it’s not worth it.
Very likely the car isn’t theirs either and he has zero assets.
It’s funny how people who drive with no car insurance are some of the worst drivers on the road and always want to say it’s not their fault
They probably got dropped from their previous insurance because of accidents or tickets and either can't afford the hgher premiums or no one will take them. So, yeah, bad drivers.
My first accident I was rear ended by a person with no insurance and her license had been suspended due to tickets for no insurance. Never saw a dime from her.
this, you would assume it’s the opposite
@@jasonfabrick9308 I become such a nuisance that they will somehow find the money to make me go away.
they are not "saying" it's not their fault. they are trying to scam.
Car driver: lemme just squeeze in here.
Surprised picachu face.
Number 19, that flatbed is not “cutting him off” the merge lane is ending and the Hyundai driver is not giving him the space to merge.
10:49 reaction time of 2-3 working days
Yeah I'm not sure how many more streets of distance he needs, but how dare he have to slow down from speeding in a 45 left lane I suppose.
When Altima is involved in an accident, Police should automatically assume they are at fault and not need dash cam.
And assume they're uninsured!
Especially the older silver ones!
Why do they all drive Altima's? and always stolen.
@@jahshjahsh2002no they take the Altima to go steal hellcats

maybe one day we could have a Wham Baam Trucker cam channel
Wham Baam Bonehead anyone?
Wow that took a while. My submission was #7 thank you for blocking out the rest of my stepdad angry yelling haha, we love your videos and very excited for our first submission to be put in!🎉
I hate that spot of salt lake where the 215 meets up with the 15, I have plenty of videos that I still need to upload to my dash cam channel.
We had gotten off at exit before the merge and that car had plenty of time to get in front of me. They need to wake up and move over way before they need to exit
How long ago did you submit it? I'm still waiting for mine to show 😭
Since November
@@MidnightMustang I submitted the moose one in the first week of 2024 and it appears as the last clip of this video, so it took them about 15 weeks to use it.
Automatic jail time for people that drive without a license and insurance. The insurance industry is corrupt and horrible - but people that drive without it don't have serious enough consequences.
Jail costs money to society though. So imho isn't the right punishment.
Confiscating income and property above minimum to live untill fine and damages are paid seems a better option to me.
Gotta show some *love* to the instant, convenient cop!

Aidan should take his car to a mechanic and have the engine checked. It stalled because the car traveled backwards while in a forward gear; that can cause serious damage to the engine, as it's literally being forced to spin the opposite direction.
Aidan should also learn to not tailgate
On the other hand, what are the chances they were driving a stickshift? - In most auto trans cars, if the engine stalls the transmission is decoupled from the engine immediately, as there's no hydraulic force being generated from the input shaft spinning. So I'd assume it's somewhat like pushing the clutch in right as the engine stalls in the same scenario, the engine wouldn't have spun backwards enough to cause serious damage.
And he should check his tires - a small damage can cause a blow out later down the road
@@blanknam3d I'd err on the side of caution and get it checked regardless. Better safe than sorry.
@@SpawnofChaos that is the perfect way to act about your car
Literally always double check because something that may seem minor could cause severe issues later
I even have an example from my dad about being extra careful
His engine hadn't been going well for a while and i had pointed it out for a long time
Well turns out that hes very lucky that he work where he does as his boss's son is a mechanic so he get quick help from teh mechanic shops
Because his car had actually blown a spark plug (i believe it was) and could have caught fire vut luckily his engine didn't and he managed to get his cold engine to mechanic shop a bit away and got it fixed the same day
This is why i will always be extra cautious about anything that could possibly be wrong with cars
6:56 I don't understand why number plates on the front of cars isn't mandatory everywhere in the US. It seems like it's just a way for many people to not get caught, I don't see the upside of not requiring them.
Because they dont come on all cars, some models dont have a place for one. 😢 its unfortunate, but honestly theyll get caught eventually. Cameras are everywhere, its only a matter of time.
Wham Baam Dashcam, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
All-black Altima with blacked-out windows... no insurance... Yeah, I think I know the quality of the person who owns & drives that car, no surprises about that after-the-fact phone call. >:-(
13%
They really need to make driving without insurance a jailable offense for 30 days.
And you should always get the uninsured motorist clause on your own insurance.
10:50 Hammie can literally see the worktruck pulling out, and only 4 seconds later he reacted to it, since they didn't collide this means when the worktruck clearly pulled out into the intersection, Hammie was over 100 meters away from it, assuming that they were going 45mph as they said.
Yup. Not saying the cammer was in the wrong, but a classic case of dashcam drivers causing a scene of otherwise easily avoidable situations to get a cool video.
He probably was giving the truck the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes I do that and become surprised when the person actually pulls out or whatever. To me, it looked like the pick up was slowing down
Just because the cam can see it, does not mean the driver can see it. This is a rookie mistake.
9:56 ,that's called a "alligator in the roadway " 🐊 when a truck tire blowout is in the middle of the road
Yeah. When I drove truck and a semi lost a tire like that, it was all over the CB warning other truckers. They can cause a lot of damage.
It's almost always a "retread" which gave way. I know retreads are cheaper than new tyres, but considering how often they seem to fail, I'm wondering if there needs to be better regulation of the retread industry, or even a ban on retreads, for safety's sake?
Ever notice how cars like to hangout next to the tires of a truck rolling down the road? Basically a grenade waiting to explode
I've been watching the Wham Baam channels for quite a while now, and every episode, it just seems to get crazier and crazier!
Wham Baam, you say don't leave a gap when traffic is stopped in order to keep people from using the gap to make a turn. In most states, if not all, it is illegal to stop, stand or park in an intersection. So by advising people not to leave a gap, you are encouraging them to break the law and be subject to prosecution!
Same thing on this side of the world. Blocking an intersection is illegal, which means that even entering an intersection when you're not sure you can immediately exit it again is by extension illegal too (it may even be a separate offence).
My thoughts exactly.
Bad drivers never miss their exit/turn.
There should really be an wham beam trucking cam channel, dedicated for trucking dash cam footage, as there is tons of them
2 dashcams in my truck,1 for the company and 1 for me.
Yep on my truck same thing. Company's dashcam and my dashcam.
Most cars now come with Bluetooth. There's no reason for many people to be on their phones.
That's what I was thinking too. I have my phone on, but it's connected to my Uconnect in my car. Only way I will answer any phone calls. Texts get ignored until I can stop.
Just be aware that talking on your phone via Bluetooth has been shown to cause distracted driving as well.
Great video! If you get enough submissions would you consider making a Whaam Baam Trucker Cam or Trucking Cam?
Sadly, our tires can pop at the most random moments sometimes. I've had a basically brand new tire pop only a few days after installation, barely 3k miles on it. Happily, I've never had debris impact another vehicle yet. Hopefully, knock on wood, it stays that way.
I absolutely love your channels! Thank you so much for all your hard work for our entertainment 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best Dash Cam I've ever owned is a Blackview. it's 4k front, rear, cab, wi-fi, etc. When I captured a collision, the cop commented on how crisp and clear the video was. Not cheap, but worth it.
5:21 #14 what about where it says [ Do not block intersection ] ???
Not sure about Colorado but in the state of Texas it’s Transport code that you cannot block a public or private driveway at a stop and must leave room for access into or out of the driveway if the traffic in front of you is at a complete stop. So therefore it’s not a matter of courtesy but law.
1. You should stop to allow traffic to cross if/when it's safe. 2. Don't wave them on, unless you want to take legal responsibility for stating it's clear. 3. When you're the one crossing stopped traffic, take it slow and watch for traffic in the "clear" lane(s). 4. When driving alongside other lanes that are slow/stopped, don't go too much faster than them & watch for other drivers who might do something stupid.
@paulfrench7222 I can confirm in Arkansas that if someone waves you out into traffic they are NOT at fault for causing the accident.
#7 9:05 Why do people think it is alright to use the zipper-merge" method to cross multiple lanes at the last moment to exit/make turns and expect people to just stop and let them
People suck at driving, this person suffers from short bus mentality. Can't read the signs stating the exit ahead which appear miles before. My friend won't slow down for people like this. He put a cattle bumper on his excursion and drives it like a tank. It is cool to see other cars bounce off it. He's never been at fault.
euhm, has nothing to do with zipper merge.
It's just being dumb and cutting in front without paying attention. ;)
Last clip made watching these vids worthwhile. Reminding drivers that highbeam quick flashes are signaling clues.
5:30 it is funny you say that, because in many european countries, when you can not move past the intersection, you have to keep it free for other cars, even on multi-lane streets
3:53 12K?!?!? That’s way overpriced
Tailgating bad! Lol 😂
8:25 we're sadly never gonna get rid of people being on their phones while driving especially when auto makers keep putting so much useless tech in vehicles
What "useless tech" are you talking about exactly?
At some point, it will loop around to the other side and the vehicles will drive themselves... ;-)
@@captainwhalee Silly customizable display settings that on the dash that encourage people to flip through to see milage, tire pressure, etc. That should all be 100% disabled while the vehicle is in drive.
@@berrypi8865 Not useless. Just dangerous when in use. There is a difference.
@@baddriversofthenorcalarea500 Well, useless in the sense that there is no need for them to exist *on the dash*. Most responsible motorists have a tire pressure gauge and know how to use it.
#6 9:20 - Wow, I knew what was going to happen the moment I saw how fast he was driving on that road! You wouldn't run on icy sidewalks, so don't drive fast on icy roads!
The Problem is: "... when his Honda Accord lost control". That Stupid car in control, was going to fast. What's the driver to do, if the car is in control?
5:25 A wham Baam video is only complete when it includes this type of clip
I had an employee who I hired ask me a question about driving. He was 18 and had his permit and was learning to drive with his older brother. At work one morning, he asked me "What's the worst part about driving?" I looked him dead in the eyes and said "I'll be 100% honest. The worst part about driving is everyone else. You can control what you do, but you don't know what some other jack-ss is going to do. Always pay attention. Be aggressive, but be defensive aggressive. Never be offensive, it'll lead to accidents."
He just kind of laughed and said he could totally see that because driving with his brother, he's seen a lot of stupid stuff.
Still stand by the statement today. Especially after getting a new job and traveling as much as I have.
*Wham Baam SemiCam!*
YES! Love it!
Another bonehead trucker channel....
I look at these clips and theres a lot of them where i think if the dashcam owners were paying attention more then some of this crap could be avoided, if you arent always expecting the unexpected maneuvers of other drivers then you arent safe from them
David, slow down and avoid the ditch 😂😂🤦🏼♀️
Black Nissan Altima with totally blacked out windows? Who would've guessed? (everyone from North America).
0:47 the silver car even braked to block the Altima
9:12 “Check your Blind spots before changing lanes. ‘ Yes! AND install Blind Spot Mirrors on the Left and Right outside mirrors. Blindspot mirrors are especially beneficial when you’re doing anything besides driving straight forward. Like turns, changing lanes or reversing.
States need to get with Onstar and make it mandatory in every vehicle. Making the car shut down after 15 minutes if there is no insurance in the vehicle. The 15 minutes is for someone with a car they want to sell. Just so they can prove to the buyer it starts.
My cat loves watching as well! (I have four cats, but just one seems to be interested in the Wham Bam videos)
Trucker's innocence proven after hitting two cars: Dashcam Story explains.
As a truck driver myself, I've tire blowouts a number of times. One of which I felt bad about because there was an suv behind me.
There was a loud popping noise, made me and my dog in the truck jump, and a large piece of tire came off my wheel and that piece nearly hit the suv behind me. I felt so bad for that person knowing more then likely I probably just unintentionally scared the shit out of them. Thank god they weren’t one of those drivers that like to be too close behind my truck. They didn't stop, they kept going, though I certainly did stop.
I checked the destroyed tire and looked up if there was anywhere I could go nearby to park until I get fixed. Thankfully there was a small truck stop a couple miles from me that was on my route so I limped the truck there slowly and then called my company to send someone out to fix it.
Please all 2-wheeler and 4-wheeler drivers, don't get too close behind semi's at high speed. We can do pre-trip's and all that but unexpected things can still happen sometimes and the chunks of things, including tires, that can come off the truck is no joke.
Altima:
Always
Leave
This
Insane
Motorist
Alone
Why is it always an Altima?
Nice!
lmao, love hamies reaction. As a delivery driver I do that about 10 times a day.
Number 5, ahhh, the infamous Florida Road Gator.
7:27 I hate when people do this. Got a light a little from my house and so many people try to go forward instead of turning right as mandated by signage.
The one in the snow is the most scariest thing to happen. At least there wasn't much people on the road to bump into.
And thats why uninsured/under insured is so expensive.
Yep, I'm still subscribed.☺
This is why truckers are getting deer.Guards bullbars and brush guards.
So their trucks don't get totalled because of idiots.
Hammie, that fiirst trucker, actually was doing right overall. Its nice to see a trucker not clogging up the left lanes and making an unsafe situation. Shitty part is i guarantee you that there was a smaller car driver or other truck oblivious that hes blocking the passing lane.
That truck at 3:20 looks like ABC construction truck.
ABC Supply truck you are correct
So many poorly designed unsafe roads in the USA.
So many poorly maintained cars.
So many poorly educated drivers.
And few bike lanes, buses or trains as alternatives.
Yep that typically as allow companies and politicians keep people from moving around forcing them into Jobs at much lower rates.
Combine with fact at least 60% of Americans live pay check to pay check that definitely easy problem create since only form freedom is a car in USA.
the bulk of these problems is honestly the road's fault. just such awful design.
4:18- gotta love the parade in the passing lane (cop included) and people passing on the right.
Hammie was distracted driving in that second part. Took him a while to notice the idiot in front of him and hit his brakes and horn.
Quite a bit of time passed between the truck pulling out towards the lanes and any reaction from Hammie.
Exactly. Hammie either wasn't paying attention or ran up on them on purpose to make it into a big deal. Not that the truck wasn't in the wrong...but, he made it into something it didn't have to be!
#3 Hammie R. was not paying attention, he could have seen the worker truck much earlier.
3:17 I am 98% percent sure that is an ABC Supply Co. Truck. There are a few local branches to Apopka Fl. 3 of which are located in Orlando Fl.
I know a handful of people that work at ABC supply and recognized the logo on the mud flaps, as well as the color pattern of Red top, white middle, blue bottom, on the cab paint.
Hope this helps Gabe out a bit!
I spoke with someone that knows more, and its definitely an L&W truck and ABC owns them.
#16 I live not too far from that exit lol, notorious for accidents. Not too long ago someone wasn’t paying attention and slammed into the barrier and dragged their car for a while. So many black marks on there.
Imagine living near Daytona during the Daytona 500 weekends lol
8:32 And this is why I will never attempt a left turn while there is still oncoming traffic. I'll just sit at the line and wait until the next light.
WHAM BAAM TRUCKER CAMMMM 🚚📹
#1. Of course it was an Altima responsible for the crash 😂
3:54 good job not getting the truck to stop.
If dad wasnt there Noah would have kept following the danger 😆
I want to know what camera #9 Sam has? You read plate numbers perfectly.
At 9:03 when their name was Ollie that’s actually my name!
Awesome
The thing is a lot of these are avoidable if people would just pay attention to intersections and surroundings LOL
I nvr take lane changes lightly. Here in MA any lane is used as the fast lane.
9:06 yep, they’re from Utah all right 😂😂
Sadly the blue ford driving is somewhat typical that I see most days that I’m on the freeway
I was keeping an eye on her and I think that is why I was able to swerve. So glad for that extra exit lane
Sadly I can't buy either of the dash cams in the description as it doesn't shop to my location
NEVER EVER DRIVE UNINSURED AND/OR UNLICENSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At 8:39, the Honda Civic also had a yellow light and should have waited for the next green since he was stopped. The left-turning Honda Civic failed to yield the right of way.
The second truck had no where to go.
Just a reminder to always get an uninsured motorist rider on your policy. They usually only cost a few bucks, and can be a real benefit if they are invoked. (like FL, where the population in Miami seems to think insurance is optional)....
The amount of incompetent drivers on the roads these days is infuriating, nobody drives like a sane person anymore they think they own the road.
It's why now my car is an old GMC CCKW truck. And if the incompetence of the drivers increase, I shift it for a Sherman tank! (ah, Sherman... alway down south in the land of traitors...)
Nice
I'm looking for a new dashcam for the rear. I was a witness of a truck (sitting next to me) rolling back onto a pick up behind it. Which dashcam should i buy that is capable to not fall of my car's rear tailgate windschield?
#12.... Ive been pulled over for not leaving space because come to find out a firetruck needed to go between us and i couldnt move... # unrelated cop saw me and tickets me for blocking a access road....
9:18 I had this to me but it was on a side street after a car on my left side cut me off and cut 2 lanes to go into a parking lot of a store and it was so close to my car like inches away from hitting my car. I was so confused about it and idk why he didn’t see me on his right side.
#3 wouldn’t have happened had the driver been driving in the right lane instead of the left lane. The left lane is for passing only.
I've had my new car 9 months. 2 weeks ago I discovered it has a dashcam.
You leave a gap at an intersection to turn because it’s the law to do so. It’s the responsibility of the person turning into traffic to make sure it’s safe
Left turn on a yellow light does NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT AWAY. I have no clue why people think it does. All oncoming traffic has the right away NOT you.
Yes. You should finish your left turn and get out of the middle of the intersection. When it's clear to do so!
No need to YELL buddy. Perhaps the car making the left turn assumed he had room, but the excessive speed of the truck caught him off guard. Driving at a high rate of speed to make a yellow light is also way illegal.
That second video, I about guarantee the car sped up to try and prevent the truck from getting over as his lane ended. Happens all the damn time, and you can be found at fault if it results in a collision for impeding flow of traffic. The argument is that because they purposely sped up to prevent a vehicle from merging who otherwise would've had room to safely do so, you've impeded traffic. They could've fought it, but the movement they decided to road rage and pass on the shoulder, they lost any argument they had.
In video 13, you're legally SUPPOSED to leave a gap to allow traffic to cross. DON'T BLOCK THE BOX! That's called impeding the flow of traffic
#20 Nissan-“Must get in front of”. On top ten worst drivers.
My cousin has 10 cameras on her semi. It's funny how far idiots will go to try to get an insurance payout. She has had 6 people who have hit her truck to try insurance fraud and the her insurance automatically asks her how many cameras she caught the collision on. Usually it's at least 4.
5:30 You should only keep these areas clear in the case of a "Keep Clear" Zone.
In clip 17 the first 2 stacks of drywall do not appear to be secured correctly.
#17 Did they stop the truck? How do you signal a truck to stop?
It’s not that you shouldn’t leave a gap for oncoming vehicles to turn, it’s that they need to check and proceed with caution. It’s not on you at all. 5:26
no insurance at the scene of an accident should = jail time
10:10 thats a honda, wheres the jingle?
Those coiled up truck tires can do a LOT of damage. Ask me how I know.... and not even on my own car!
