4:36 anyone else freaking out thinking one of the pedestrians was going to get hit?
thankfully it was a loony tunes punchline
yeah, had me scared to look for a bit.
Yep. Was actually holding my gut in in anticipatory fear. Even 'though we'd have seen that event on the news if it happened.
Story goes: The driver had a seizure and slumped in their seat, teenage son (passenger) was leaning across steering the vehicle the down the road. He chose to crash the car into that wall rather than hit those pedestrians. Hope they're both ok.
@@znebb oh god what a choice to make, hope they're ok.
0:36 I hope you called him back, good sir. You left him hanging thinking you've got into an accident XD
Always leave 'em wanting more!
Always leave em thinking you may be seriously injured! ;)
Here in America: Small fender bender happens, and both parties refuse to move their vehicles to the side of the road and stay in the middle of a 10 lane super highway because they believe CSI is going to be called to take photos and collect evidence.
Australia: driver's Jeep is forced to perform an involuntary barrel roll. "My bad, let me get my jeep out of the road way so as to not be a nuisance to other drivers".
We get taught from day dot and it’s just common sense, if you have a prang try get the car off road so we don’t really fuck the flow of traffic too much
Usually people get out and help the second something happens with an accident anyways
@@pineapplenoodles2978 do you think that's due to Australia caring more about the community while the US cares more about the individual?
It's a jeep thing
That sums up America pretty well then..
It’s because in many areas it was required that you not move your car until photos were taken for insurance purposes. Since our country is so litigious we have to worry about lawsuits constantly so proving fault is very important. Many states are changing laws to say move over if safe to do so but it’s a problem due to insurance and lawyers not because we don’t care about other people on the road…
6:57 the dash cammer had PLENTY of time to stop at the lights when they went amber. Insane.
This is the new norm. I see a lot of people who don’t give a shit about running reds nowadays
same at 1:52, seems many people have absolutely zero situational awareness nowadays, just a tunnel vision effect of " *durrr.. I turn right, I look right, nowhere else* "
Yep, but cammer didn't have to. Honda driver turning right is clearly at fault. The rest is moot.
@@vincenium They are both at fault. A yellow means he is to stop if he can. It could have and decided to illegally pass through it.
So did the other car. So they both share the fault.
@@JM-hn7ju It's not illegal to run a yellow light - the yellow light says that you can stop if it is safe to do so, while the cammer didn't attempt to slow down, they aren't in the wrong for the incident since they initially passed through the intersection on a yellow light
@15:48 you can see a true hero. Nevermind busted knees, faulty hips and the fact he probably haven't gone for a run in 25+ years. Dude is running like Ben Johnson. Beautiful!
Massive respect to that legend
What is all that BROWN stuff leaking out on the road?? 🚻
@@wizrom3046 Shite. Looks like a septic tank fella.
@@capnskiddies hehe my device doesn't have a poop emoji so I used the more subtle icon above... 😋
Merry Christmas! Shitter was full!
Me: Don’t hit the pedestrians. Don’t hit the pedestrians. Fuck. Where did that car come from on the left!!!!!!!
That's what I was waiting for some idiot to come flying around the right side then wham a half crushed car comes from the left. They must have been hooking in to do that much damage.
@@goldmagnet Did a number on the noise wall.
@@ChrisCaramia the whole thing collapsed!!! Yikes.
I was watching that through my fingers thinking the same thing as well.
I'm the opposite, I was thinking please hit the pedestrians, please hit the pedestrians!!
0:04 props to the Jeep driver. Having been rolled over and saved only by the roll cage, still had the presence of mind to move the vehicle off the road afterwards.
He knows its not polite to leave garbage in the street.
I was going to say. After watching all those videos where there’s barely a knock, but both drivers just parked it in the middle of the highway for hours…
Other thing is he *could* move it out of the way. Probably drove it home too.
Anyone else think their driving has improved since watching dashcams videos over time? There’s often common situations which are avoidable, and these videos help identify the really dangerous situations..
Then of course sometimes shit just happens haha!
Haha!
I actually think they should be mandatory viewing. I've sent my young daughter a couple, she's about to get her learners!
So far , I i've learned two things from the video ,
One the Roundabouts, especially the double lanes ones are crash magnets,
The second never get distracted when taking your hand off the handle bar to give the finger to a driver in busy traffic conditions 19:55.
The three stages of Defensive Driving:
1. "Lalala I'm driving my car at more or less the speed limit ha ha I am invincible because I am in the right and red lights cast a magic forcefield!
2. I assume anything could happen at any time and I must expect the unexpected.
3. I assume all other drivers are actively trying to kill me at all times, until they prove otherwise by going away.
By watching these videos I've learnt that most drivers (be they in the right or wrong) have absolutely shithouse reaction times. I've also learnt from CZcams that we Australians don't know what the amber light means (does the rule vary between states like the U-turn at traffic lights rule?)
Hint (NSW): A yellow (amber) light means you must stop. You can only go through a yellow light if you cannot stop safely before the 'Stop' line. 😁
To the international viewers: Australians are unique in that we favour a " multi level comparison" insult method when confronted by idiocy. You'll notice that Aussies will " taste test" a number of epithets until we find the right one for the situation: defining the LEVEL of idiocy seen is VERY important and we want to our response to be the most suitable.
We're cunning linguists one and all
@@consciousbeing1188 reacting to all the cunning stunts
@@consciousbeing1188 Best comment i ever seen!
Indeed and well said🤣🤣
Im a kiwi - the audio is better than the video at times! keep it up
Our favourite compilation, another episode of "Driving using the Braille Method". 😁👍
Agreed. So many of these could be avoided if people actually used their eyes...
Some are driving by ear.
Or too busy using their eyes to stare blankly at the phone ...
@@moverit1301 That's quite a generalization.
That method might be more effective if there hands weren’t on there phones.
14:55: Although it's never a nice thing for a motorcyclist to experience a crash, this guy honestly had it coming to him.
I hope he's ok. Saying that, it was a stupid decision to ride down the shoulder at such a speed. That's just one of the reasons why its illegal for motorcyclists to lane filter along the curb.
I'd nearly argue the same thing at 20:00. Stupid decision to change lanes in such a short gap and he paid the price for his impatience.
That, and he had zero situational awareness.
I ride and I agree 💯 with you
@My Nama Jeff that's a particularly nasty corner, he should have dropped down to first gear and slowed down. Bad angle too it happens to the best of riders especially if you aren't familiar with the road. But you cant fix stupid i guess.
Exactly.
6:59 you were never gonna make that light champ.
He made the light. You only have to be over the first line to not be a red light. Cammer was not at fault.
@@peterbartley7183 that is 100% incorrect. You have to clear the whole intersection before it turns red. Hand your licence in.
This must be the "riding motor bikes is dangerous" compilation
Riding motorbikes with your eyes closed is dangerous :P
@@tardis4229 yeah but riding bikes while other people have their eyes closed is also dangerous.
I ride and I agree with all the above statements.
@@marvindebot3264 So do I, and so do I.
That and "practise defensive driving when around utes"
Damn at the intro clip. They have to be thankful for the roll bars on that Jeep.
I think that's the last open top car he'll be driving in a while.
I was looking for the dog!
I was looking for the arm on the road !
@@klord-is9ft Well a normal convertible is unlikely to roll over, and wouldn't roll from a collision like that, a lifted Jeep on fat wheels on the other hand...
Did the car stay running or did it just restart that easy after being up ended?
Just because you have the right of way, doesn't mean you shouldn't still watch for oncoming and incoming traffic. Its always good to be aware of cars around, someone might be going through a red light, or speeding, or don't know the laws well enough themselves. Anything to avoid a crash is good
I agree.
There is no such thing as right of way in Australia. Only that you must give way to other drivers in certain scenarios
You may be legally entitled to "right of way" but you don't *have* it, until the other driver gives it to you.
Yeah this channel made me slow down and pause for a second. When I see the other light go yellow I watch for traffic and make sure it’s stopped. Then as I pull out I look right than left, and repeat as I’m crossing through (US).
My mother taught me a poem. 'Hear lies the grave of Mike O'Day. He died maintaining his right of way. His right was clear, his will lwas strong, but he's just as dead as if he'd been wrong.
19:50 holy shit! 😳 I can't believe it!... Petrol at $1.77 per litre! Those were the days. 😒
I thought that was a myth
I used to think $1.33 for 98 was a lot. Now in September 2023, $2.10 is disturbingly common.
8:40 - how did that truck think that maneuvre was ever going to work out well?
Thinking was not the action that occured
I have a lot of respect for the professionalism required to drive a truck, but that one was a bit much. While I would like to think if I were the car I would've anticipated it, I think it's highly likely the car driver didn't even see the truck, let alone anticipate the truck was attempting a U-turn on a busy multi lane road traffic light intersection. From the car driver's perspective, they had a green light: no where in car driver training do drivers get taught to watch out for big trucks doing U-turns from out of nowhere when the light turns green for you.
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns Bear in mind too that that happened in NSW. You cannot do a u turn at lights unless there is a sign that says you can. The truck driver is 100% wrong.
On Facebook, quite a few people were defending the truck driver.
@@NudeyJoe how the heck can you defend doing a u turn on the outside of a double turn lane.
There is one thing I haven't understood in 13 years of driving - how fucking hard it is to see WHAT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU??? Most of what driving is about is just reacting to what's right there, in front of your eyes.
Yeah plenty of these accidents were more than preventable.
The sad truth is because they weren't looking in front of them.
They can see what's right in front of them: their mobile phone.
Half asleep
Mate there in lies the problem 90+% of drivers operating Motor vehicles do *not have their head on the job of controlling a vehicle* they invariably are thinking of other "more important stuff (well in their eyes it's more important).
Whatever is going on around them has nothing to do with them & those folks just need to keep out of their way because *those drivers are special.*
I love the fact that people get out of their cars to go help, it warms my heart.
You don't dare sti that in America. You could be sued for a lot of money.
Except for the people with cams that laugh and drive off!
Can we all appreciate that the dashcam at 3:51 looks like footage from the 70's?
instagram filters for dashcams! Really make those colours pop
4:29 The fact that they destroyed the entire fence is impressive.
Thought the same thing
Y mates say why do you have a dash cam,these clips are why
0:28 poor guy on the phone probably thought his mate was injured
9:14 So heartwarming to see those lovely young boys get out to see if the other people were okay❤️🥰
Maybe I'm a cynic but it looks more like the occupants of both cars knew each other and the crash was caused by some silly antics where the accident vehicle swerved too close to their mates and then lost control.
You can always tell the lovely young boys from the rest, with their hoodies and bum bags.
Looked like a PIT maneuver followed by a kerbstomp
Deal gone wrong!
Looks more like a stolen car and the teenagers who stole it doing a runner.
And in this episode we learned: never ride a motorbike, watch out for Commodores, trades towing trailers follow too close, and never trust anyone at an intersection.
1:53 I saw that car coming from a mile off, and knew exactly what they were going to do. Easily avoidable accident right there
Came here to comment this. This was absolutely avoidable.
Easily avoidable -accident- crash right there
One of several this month. And several of the bikes are entirely to blame too. You just have to be more aware on a bike, and there's no excuse or comeback
Ever seen a video where the other driver throws themselves into the other car and you are like what? how? THIS is how it happens.
In a lot of these accidents you have to remember the dash cam sits above the eyeline of the driver. Just because WE can see the driver approaching doesn't necessarily mean the DC driver can
Bloody hell this compilation was wild! Some of these crashes looked hella scary, glad all the people are okay
@@KalebPrentice Dude, look at the reply time...2 days ago. 🤦
@@KalebPrentice Dude, don't spam me. 🤬
Would've been in unlisted videos. 👍
@@KalebPrentice x10 speed man
Who has time these days to stop at red lights...
I'm just still a bit taken away by the quality of dash cams footage now. Its heap better than it was a few years ago.
17:50 good defensive driving by the cammer. He could see the Ute coming before it hit
As a driver and a rider, it's really scary to so many motorcycle accidents 🙁😟😔
and all avoidable by taking surroundings into account
4:30 had me anxious for a good 15 seconds.
Anyone else notice a dog or cat go flying in that?
@@Tazznbk Yo wtf it does look like an animal flying there. Can't totally tell but it looks like a dog for sure
@@Tazznbk
Just to ease everyone’s mind, I slowed the video and @ 4:43 on x0.25 speed, it doesn’t look to be a dog. It appears to be two objects, one black and one white, the white one has something coming off it.
@@aussieprincess yeah I did the same, still thought it was a dog on a leash perhaps... Hopefully not though haha
Definitely not a dog but the "oh my god" sounds better in 0.25x speed.
Cant help think that 99% of these could be prevented with a few basic defensive driving techniques.
Like keeping your eyes open, for a start.
Such as removing the morons driving camrys and Corollas?
@@marclagalle1486 And Commodores
Damn straight. It's like a study in lack of caution. Videos like this should be compulsory viewing for new and learner drivers
Yes like using their eyeballs and applying brake first before the horn
1:53 "Sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt." They had to have added that... there is no way.
"Oh, I've got the video footage if they need it" is a refreshing change from "DASHCAAAAAAAMS!!!!! GAAAAAHHHHH!!! *foams at mouth*"
At 16:45. I'm sure Rasputin never thought a song about him would feature in a Dash Cam Owners Australia car crash CZcams video.
Haha wish I had a DC for when Rasputin was pumping and someone almost killed me while driving.
This channel has the "best" car crash compilations...although after watching this vid, i would feel a lot safer driving a decommissioned "centurion battle tank" on public roads
90% of these accidents can be avoided with foresight and road awareness (of the victims).
@@UCkU0SrpEeCdPX-2cBVndj7g It's amazing how late people react to something visible numerous seconds before. Regardless of who's at fault, an avoided accident is ideal.
"centurion battle tank" is just slang for a 4x4 dual cab ute, right?
chieftain's are more reliable and newer
People test trucks in these compilations they’re probably willing to test a tank
Australian dashcamming only gets better and better..... The same can't be said of the driving standards displayed in this video. This has been the most entertaining example I've seen for a long time.
Good on yer, Cobbers!
It never fails to make me feel happy the way that people pull over when someone has a car accident, it's just such a natural kind, human thing to do.
so many of these accidents could have been avoided if people actually slowed down for an orange light rather than gas'ed and go'ed.
while we're at it, i wish more people knew that at least in nsw (not sure about other states), YOU ARE ALLOWED TO WAIT IN AN INTERSECTION ON A BLACKED OUT TURN LIGHT. Even if the light turns red, if you are still in the intersection YOU CAN GO.
So much congestion could be eliminated just like that if more people knew this, and half the accidents in this compilation are also because the car waiting to turn is scared that they're in the middle of the intersection when the light goes red.
Almost none of the accidents were actually caused by people running the yellow.
Slow down? So the light goes orange, and you want them to what, gently roll through a red? 😂
@@yup3398 not sure what video you watched then but the one I saw and commented on were majority people speeding through the intersection on the orange.
@@djrattis yes that's exactly it lots of light running. But it wasn't the light runners causing the accident in general. It was people turning on a solid red into their path. There is quite a delay after your light has gone red before they get a green.
As my dad (31 year's of Fire and Rescue) said to me Son you don't drive for yourself you drive for everyone else...and now I pass these words of wisdom onto my son's :)
Good advice. 👍
Here's a bit of advice on written English in return: you don't need to bother adding an apostrophe ( ' ) before the S in Dads, years, or sons. The apostrophe is used to indicate possession ("the bike is Dave's") or omission/contraction (don't = do not, hasn't = has not, etc.), if you want to make a noun plural you can just chuck an S on the end, no apostrophe required. Hopefully this saves you some time and effort in future! :)
@@sixstringedthing Thanks for the heads up I appreciate your help ;)
Never to old to learn is also good advice :)
@@mylittlepuppy9116 it’s “too”. Sorry couldn’t help myself. Even if it was a trap. Lol.
@@MeppyMan Thats to funny
My Dad always says, you know what you are doing, you have no idea what the other driver is doing or thinking. Drive as if they are a moron.
17:45 you could tell the cammer was clenchin hard! 😂
I swear in these comps there's always half a dozen or so clips where I think that the person with the dashcam could've slowed down / done a better job at avoiding the crashes.
6:55 I know what you mean
6:57 you both got what you deserve.
Both trying to run the lights.
How effing often does this 100% avoidable scenario occur? DC driver is the twat here
When that clip got posted on the Facebook page, the cam driver was clearly looking for sympathy.... they didnt get it from the comments section!
That's Pakenham for ya.
@@speedemon81 Good.
I'd still blame the recording driver. It is obvious from over 100 meters away that he should slow down to let the cross traffic pass, even if they are running a red light.
2:50 - That is just gold, BOTH of them ran the red, you can tell by the fact of the number of seconds that take place before the accident, there is ZERO before that green light to the DC'er.
So sure, give them the footage, the police and their insurers will love you. :D
"i got the video footage if they need it" 😂😂 to prove they're both schewpid
The synchronised moment when they crash and the light turns green is all too satisfying
I’m glad someone commented this! I always look at the lights in situations like this, it’s usually the turning car at fault but the fact they both ran the red is priceless 😄
ah.. i was waiting for this one.. i thought the same, but to to be honest it is the one going straight that should be the problem, because the one turning right should have more right of way than going straight. when taking a right turn, we often wait for the oncoming traffic. you'd expect the on-coming traffic to slow down as you make the right turn.
@@wallieshere that's incorrect it's the other way around
15:16 Jeez, the you couldn't have timed the radio better with that crash
Having driven a bit in Oz, QLD mainly, (I'm from the UK) I have never seen this type of carnage when I've been over there. I feel I've been missing out lol. But I have to say that this Dashcam channel is the best one on CZcams by a long way.
1:56 and this is why you always check an intersection, even when the light is green.
Is it just me or are the number of red light runners seem to be incredibly high with this one?
also the number of videos where the DC'er is at fault.
I believe there is a correlation between running red lights and crashing
Way too many late amber / early red light going straight through.
No time for the right turners to clear the intersection.
No foresight, no driving sense.
Also the number of crashes that could be avoided if the person not technically at fault had been a tad more observant of a car blatantly not slowing for a light or the like. Not saying they're at fault there, just that awareness and the ability to read other drivers are probably the two most important skills for any driver to learn.
Many amber lights and some "safe" speeding too!
I'm a professional driver and I do a lot of kilometres each week. And after watching these compilations I'm really glad I live and work in a small city.
2:36 I love how theres just a faint "Astronomia" in the backround 😂
20:05 I shouldn't laugh at that but it was fucking deserved.
Cocky twat will think twice about undertaking and then giving hand gestures when he pulls a stupid stunt. Just glad he got up. It’s not always the case.
yep 100% karma that one.
@@alexday5892 That wasn't a hand gesture the way you're implying, he was just giving an acknowledging wave that he'd been a little too cheeky undertaking.
@@InfectedByEli I thought he was doing a wank gesture..
TBH I thought it was a good example of why you don't beep your horn is someone is in the middle of a risky maneuver. Rider would have got away with it if he wasn't distracted.
Tradie utes are the new Commodore and Falcon ute class.
2:02 Blind Freddy could see that car wasn't stopping a mile away
Genuinely excellent driving by the white TT driver at 6:26
01:53 I fully understand you had right of way, but of you can't see that coming you need to hand your licence back in.
I avoided an incident exactly like that, with a speeding 4WD by stopping on a green (half expecting to get rear-ended in the process). The footage was lost to the aether. I would have loved to share it.
same thing at 7:44
The most shocking thing about that was she was suprised by it. Where was she looking?
My guess is she assumed the car was going to use the slip lane instead of running the red. I don't really blame her for this one, especially as darkness makes it that much harder to judge. There would only have been a split second or two between her realising the car wasn't going into the slip lane and impact
I was looking for your comment, honestly could have avoided it. How didn’t she see the car wasn’t stopping.
Defensive driving doesn't seem to be a thing in Straya
I know right. The amount of people who cant avoid an accident is ridiculous
The best defense is a good offence.
2:40 and coffin dance is playing on the radio. I think it was trying to tell you something 🤣🤣🤣
17:40 exactly why you don't listen to anyone signaling lol, idiot could have just turned his head the other way to check but just decides to go because he is waving him on.
You should do a series where each state gets their own video so we can see who has the worst drivers
My own experience tells me that NSW drivers are aware that there are such things as road rules, but they don't apply to them.
VIC drivers don't even know they exist.
@@damaark21 WA refuse to acknowledge that there are such things as give way and keep left unless overtaking rules.
@@damaark21 I think you summed it up pretty well. In overall quantity, you'd get significantly more from Greater Sydney than from Greater Melbourne, but I think Greater Melbourne would take the gold medal in the Absolute WTF category. There seems to be a lot of red-green colour blindness in Melbourne.
@@CovidConQuitTheCensorship exactly... I've lived in every capital city in Aus except Darwin & Hobart... I now live 3 hours south of Perth and make sure if I have to go to Perth I'm getting there late at night when there's only a few other cars on the road (sitting in the right hand lane for no reason at all).
WA all day!
9:10 - Was that a robbery? It certainly doesn't look like they're running there to help that guy... I might be wrong though.
Maybe. They looked way too swift and eager to help.
Probably a stolen car.
Eshays in a stolen car
stolen car and fleeing most likely
They looked 12
That first one scared the heck out of me!
Love to see people get out and help others
02:13 old mate learnt the hard way about the whole 'turn right to turn left' thing.
one hard lesson
Thanks Veratassium xD
czcams.com/video/9cNmUNHSBac/video.html
That's a dirt thing and he/she wasn't on dirt. What they learnt was to take the corner, if not the whole ride, slower. Possibly also that different bikes have different handling.
Turn right to turn left. Yeah, even on my DR I wouldn't do that on bitumen and I definitely wouldn't be trying it on that bike on that road. There's a reason speedways are dirt.
All three riders looked a bit out of control around that bend. Probably not the best road to learn on...
When I was in the S.E.S (State Emergency Service), we used to refer to incidents involving motor vehicles as RAR (Road Accident Rescue) but it got changed quite a number of years ago to RCR (Road Crash Rescue) as these incidents arent 'accidents', even if you dont mean it to happen.
Something happened to cause the accident, whether it be lack of concentration, tiredness, poor tires/brakes etc, running a red or breaking another road rule, on phone etc etc...there are a plethroa of reasons but it goes to show theyre avoidable.
Something happened to cause the -accident- crash
In SJA we just called them MVA's lmao
I think it was insurers in the US (and their lawyers) who years ago started calling crashes "accidents".
A salient point. The wording matters - there's accuracy, and then there's the impression.
They (ambos and cops) said the exact same thing to us in driving safety classes in high school!
Finally a video worth watching all the way thx
Clots'n'roundabouts; what a potent combination!
15:35 hope that load isn’t what I think it is, otherwise that would have been a very smelly cleanup.
Bet the driver yelled "sheeeeeeeeeeeeetttt" as she tipped over
It is 100% sewage
It might be muddy water from vacuum excavation from trenches ect
Yeah - looks like something from a septic tank
Props to the Big W truck driver coming over.
7:57 The airbag uncovered a stash of drug money!
I think its just a compartment mate. Not a secret stash in the dash 😂
20:44 Amber light means slowly to come to a stop… this exact same thing happened to me with a Green P plater rear ending me at 80km, he tried to run a red light and therefore ran into me without realising I had come to a stop.
There are some really bad accidents in this compilation!
Keep up the good work, fellow Australians.
Having had an accident earlier this week, watching this made me feel a lot better about mine. Could've been a lot worse. That first one was BRUTAL
That was one of the more tame ones..
… just asking to revisit trauma for a slight moment.
My thoughts are for each serious crash.
That m a y effect the flow of traffic.
For the purpose of insurance and
types of cover, it would be of sense to not remove any vehicle or item- until evidence of the scene is captured regardless of dcams
I see dcams as *two Dimensional perspective one sided view.*not all dcams capture the whole event.
The punchline is (imo) try not to move any vehicle, away until all bits of “the reasons as to why are captured”
It will piss a lot of ppl/ commuters” of but in the long run it’ll be of benift to your insurance process.
(in my opinion) t#
Now I know why insurance is so high. Some of these crashes were Epic!
..and completely a v o i d a b l e
In my opinion.✌️
You say Epic.....I say retarded! Perspective is a beautiful thing. 🤣👍
@@sonofagreatsouthernland That van at the start where it crashes and brings down the entire brick wall.......now that was incredible to see. Just unbelievable watching it in slow-motion fracturing along the whole length then lean over...
I really have to applaud people for uploading clips where they're at fault.
Great to see so many excellent drivers here in Australia
1:53 There was 5 seconds between starting the right turn and being hit be the red light runner. Cam car had right of way, but how did they _not_ see it coming?
I don't think it's an excuse in this case but in many cases the dash cam is above the eyeline of the driver, just because we can see doesn't always mean the DC driver can.
By assuming the car might be heading for the slip lane right next to it? Not that hard to imagine if you look at it from the perspective of someone not watching a crash compilation.
@Daniel Bauer aaarr! yup.. we have NWA fan. I wonder if that was an edit or fluke timming?
Australia's finest "professional" drivers are really on display in this one!
professional numb nuts and 'thinkers' ROFL
Amazing how many of these look just like the hazard perception test for your licence
I’ve noticed a lot of drivers don’t know how to use double lane roundabouts.
It’s a real problem. There so many near misses that never get recorded. People not using signals, exiting into the wrong lane etc
7:00 sorry but, while the other driver is at fault. You had pleanty of time to stop since the lights changed to amber well before you entered the intersection.
He's saying no to bad driving by running into them. Making the roads safer and all that.
@@MultiChrisjb Running an amber is bad driving. Amber means stop, unless doing so is unsafe.
@@SoWhat1221 Doesn't have to be unsafe, just practicable. If you need to do an emergency stop to make the light, then that's not practical. Stopping in a controlled manner is the way to go, same as not planting your foot when accelerating away from lights.
People need to learn to read the traffic, rather than Pavlov the signals.
@@Cheepchipsable DC could have stopped very easily without "emergency stopping". Impatient tool.
gonna go ahead and copy my other comment explaining this one:
"gonna hit you guys with some cheeky maths. The start of one line to the next line is 12.5m apart, there was two lines before the solid line so he had about 45m when the light went yellow, moving at 63km/h or 17.5m/s, so he had traversed another ~5 meters before being physically able to react to the light (assuming perfect .25s reaction time), so roughly 40 meters remaining to stop. The minimum safe stopping distance for a light vehicle moving at 63km/h is about 27 meters in optimal conditions, so yes he absolutely could have stopped safely. More realistically, lets give him 1 second to react. Stopping distance goes up to about 40m, so a margin of ~5m. Maintaining speed for 3 seconds, he gets through the lights.
Now on the turning vehicle... they also had a yellow light, were moving slower and had the same time to respond to the yellow light, but is also legally required to stop until the opposing through traffic is past.
Now here is the kicker: the speed limit on that road is 70km/h. The lights are on a 5 second cycle to accommodate this. The expected stopping distance for this intersection should be about 70 meters."
The number of people that guess there way through right turns across multiple lanes...
The number of people who watched Starman too many times...
The number of people at fault who submit dashcam videos thinking they're right...
I think that people submit it knowing they were in the wrong too. Kudos to them for giving us the oopsie content.
Red means stop. Green means go. Amber means go faster, right?
@@damo9997 green means go, orange means half throttle and red means foot through the firewall going by these vids
Oh good, another one I’m not featured in. How fortunate 🤣👌🏼
2:38 nice fitting soundtrack in the background lol
Metropol driveway twice in the same compilation. (@5:16, @19:24). That driveway is notorious as there is usually a queue of cars turning in blocking the view of those waiting to come out.
I will not turn right out of it, and when I drive past I always slow down to 40km/h and move to the right of the lane in case someone pulls out.
Plenty of people who are turning left into the driveway swing out into the right lane too. 🤦🏼♂️
The shops there love putting their A frame signs all along the footpath next to the driveway which doesn't help with visibility when turning out of the driveway in either direction. It's a nightmare of a shopping centre, considering how busy it is, the road infrastructure in and out of it is totally inadequate. The amount of times i've seen this exact accident happen (or go past and see glass all over the road from it happening earlier) in the last few years is scary.
Good catch. Where abouts is that place anyway?
@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns Pine Mountain Road near intersection of Creek Road. Suburb boundaries of Carina Heights, Carindale and Mansfield.
4:40 That certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
The first bike crash is a bit, yep, sorry about that, I'm new at this/this is a new bike. The next two [edit] three are exactly what terrifies me about riding a bike.
10:30 i had this exact thing happen to me once. Knob jockey overtook me dangerously, and stacked it into a ditch not that far in front of me. I stopped to wind down my windows to scream ''YOU CAN'T PARK THERE'' and drove off. Laughed the entire way.
6:55, technically DC is running a red light.
8:08 seems like an inappropriate time for a vape!
Ah, good old Metropol in Carindale features not once but twice. No great surprise. If you were into collecting bits of broken headlight and bunpers that exit is one of the best in the area.
Which is why the smart move is to leave by the other exit... only have one road of drivers to contend with, with a much better view rather than the morons coming multiple ways from that exit shown.
@@Bicketybam68 true, and that’s the exit I prefer too, but I’ve had some choice experiences there as well with cars racing down the left turning lane on Creek Road to get ahead of the cars at the lights. Especially at night.
Always amazed at the TOTAL lack of situational awareness shown by so many drivers. Quite a few of these could have been avoided.
all of them could have been avoided. Every single motor vehicle incident is a result of negligence one way or another, with the only exception being unforeseeable mechanical failures despite proper servicing.
The classic Australian pastime of cutting across an intersection without looking
15:38....I'm not cleaning that up 🤣
@10:30 I recognised the Serial Killers Podcast way faster than I'd like to admit, but they're so good !

It's scary how many of these are people stopped and waiting to turn across oncoming traffic, and then they just decide they've waited long enough and go when its clearly unsafe.
They panic when the light turns yellow thinking they are going to be stuck in the intersection on a red. They have forgotten you are allowed to be one car into the intersection and go on the red.
Problem here think that because the going straight is in a yellow it’s their fault. It nit it’s the turning car.
Some real bangers in this one
1:55 - "So sit back, relax, and strap on your seatbelt." 💀💀💀
Hahaha nice didn't notice that
Could be renamed "Ozzie drivers not paying attention to their surroundings".
Basically all of these could have been prevented if the drivers had followed the traffic rules.
@A Z Really? So a blown tire or failed brakes also work that way?
I don't think so.
@@joyl7842 to be fair, you're not wrong, but those things are highly unlikely with a well serviced vehicle, and not riding your brakes for 10 minutes.
@A Z Yet, they are not traffic rules. Are they?
@A Z I am? You're the one spouting assumptions and insults. Not me.
@A Z Most but not all. (Sudden-onset medical conditions, unexpected equipment failure, probably other)
now i understand what my old man used to say, "just bc youre in the right dont mean you need to commit to it if you know for sure youre about to get into an accident, a good driver isnt someone who sticks to the rules but also who forsees whats gonna happen to an extent.
5:46 My wife's phone pinged like a tuning fork right at the moment of impact 😂
4:42 I like how the impact uprooted the entire brick fence
@@manuelh.4147 Ok It disintegrated like a brick fence
Every single compilation there’s at least 1 commodore Ute going way too fast 😂
16:50 I like how this dude comes casually walk up into the street and when asked a question, he blows out a puff of smoke as if getting into a traffic accident is no big deal in Australia. He probably wounded up desensitized after experiencing too many accidents in his lifetime.
that’s the strut of a man about to go casually beat the shit out of that truck driver, then just go about his day like it didn’t happen
@@b0rnwithabeard That happens as well.
That was a good work truck, maloo, and motorcycle crash compilation.
