the audacity for the brake checkers to throw their hands up like it wasn't their fault is wild.
Note that "victims" never show us what did happen earlier.
And never, ever (even if u're last man on this planet) drive left. This lane is ONLY for overtaking.
b/c nothing happened, insane ragers just make crap up in their head@@podunkman2709
@@podunkman2709they only show it to gain the " I'm innocent" victim status.
I find that MOST cammers that post truly believe they are correct.. until the internet tells them the truth
@@podunkman2709 - No excuse to drive on the wrong way or center lane to go around the passing lane person and proceed to slam hard on the brakes. They are looking for a payday if they do that.
As an apparatus operator/engineer for my home states OEM Critical Disaster/Mutual Aid response division our Squad vehicle, a heavily modified 6X6 is often brake checked by ignorant motorists when we are responding to a call, which means we have full auditory and visual alerts (lights and sirens) activated. The Squad has a six camera w/audio recording suite installed so not only do the vehicle's Owners/operators who do this dumb shit get hit with a reckless driving charge but also a deliberate impairment of an emergency apparatus and a forceable delay of and emergency response vehicle. Our squad's paint scheme is hi viz (Red/White with reflective strips on the massive front push bumper, Sides, and rear reinforced blocker plate bumper) so it leaves a lot of other motorists scratching their heads as to why idiots would behave so recklessly. The most used defense is that they thought the squad was a tow truck looking to by pass traffic, There is no way one could mistake the squad as a tow truck with flashing red lights a siren and numerous deck guns from front to rear.
I love how people are in such a hurry, but have all the time in the world to brake check other people.
I hate it
and literally completely stop on the highway
"I'm in a hurry so I'll slow down to 35 mph in the fast lane, that'll show this slow guy" 😂
To be fair I did it one time, I have a fairly regular car and I was trying to get home. Found myself behind a Mustang GT with a cringe Demon paint job driven by some obese neckbeard.
For some reason, presumably me driving somewhat close but but still half a car gap away, dude stopped dead right in front of me like he thought I was gonna get out and fight him. I waited a few minutes behind him, then when he didn't move I put my turning light and went on my way. As soon as I get in front of him, dude revs up to max. At that point Idk what he thought was gonna happen. I have an 8.1 0-60 dude has at least 5 sec or less. Was gonna get hit either way, but if he was gonna hit me, wanted to make sure his precious douche car was nice and broken. My car can be replaced for like 9k, whatever. That dude may never be able to replace it with all his cringe custom stuff. Don't even know what made him mad, small dick I guess. Mind you this was all on a quiet town road, not even a highway. I don't know what was going on in his head, but if he revs that car there's no way I can accelerate fast enough to get out of the way. Lucky for him, he seemed to reconsider. Guess he realized if he smashed up his car he'd have nothing left to live for.
Normally I hate it but I felt justified that day, even though it might not have been. Not that anything happened. Just some weird ass behavior.
I'll still be able to drive away, they won't. solid metal bumper on my RAM 3500 and custom wrap around bull bars. Brake check me, I beg you. LOL. I've hit a tree doing 20 while out in the woods driving between farms and just a small dent and scratches. Cars crumple easier LOL
A lot of these cammers need to take defensive driving courses 😂
If half of these cammers just let people merge there'd be no issues
Quite a few of these the cammer just straight up decided to hit the other cars.
like after someone break checks them 3 times, they get fooled by the 4th and rear end the guy. Just back off and let them go.
And/ or an anger management course
#10 was following too close and wasn't able to stop, in the right lane no less. Very dumb.
Here's my top tip: if someone pulls out in front of you in a slightly predictable way then don't get involved by flashing your lights, speeding up or sounding your horn. Just adjust and ignore them.
I followed your "top tip" today. Some guy pulled out in front of me so close that I had to come to a complete stop in the roadway. I didn't flash my lights, I didn't honk my horn, I didn't yell at him or even gesture at him. Just adjusted to the situation by fully stopping in the road to let him turn out and ignoring him afterwards. I surely saved myself and my passenger wife the stress of a road rage reaction from the guy had I decided to honk or yell at him. Thankfully I did not get rear-ended when I unexpectedly had to slam the brakes to a full stop.
@@BadDriversOfNapaif someone’s gonna shoot me over honking at them then whatever, they’re just gonna shoot me.
#11 I will never understand the logic of brake checking a semi. That’s just asking to get hit.
I had to laugh. How stupid must a person be to break check a semi?
I bet he'll think twice before brake checking another big rig
@@IBMCertified The ones that don't know that a semi takes 300 plus or minus feet to stop!
I swear people are trying to commit suicide this way, no way you’re that dumb
They're hoping the truck would take evasive action by getting run off the road
I love how people act offended when they get hit after brake checking someone.
I mean, they got what they asked for, so not sure why they're angry
I know right, literally did it to themselves 😂
Depends on why they're brake checking in the first place - from what I can tell a lot of it is caused by the camera recorder hogging the passing lane and playing lane manager. Prime example is @2:19. Got flashed from behind and did not respond appropriately - even if the other car is exceeding the speed limit - you are not there to play cop.
@@kevinrtres There's never an acceptable time to brake check. It's always a selfish act that endangers others, even innocent bystanders, for selfish reasons. If you ever do it in any instance, you will deserve any outcome that you have to pay or suffer as a result.
I always brake check people who are aggressively close. They get so angry. Why ? You can't be up someone's bumper, expecting no repercussions 🤷♂️😆
2. Brake checking was uncalled for but two Subarus both driving the exact same speed is definitely rage inducing
Omg yes
Spartanburg SC needs to understand the left lane is for passing and slower traffic is to keep to the right. He instigated the road rage. Wonder if he thinks the cost and time was worth it.
I was looking for this
#2, both were wrong; hence why both were cited. The left lane is a passing lane. Yet, too many people just drive slowly and hog the lane. The only legitimate reasons for him to have been in the lane were to pass another vehicle or to turn left from the middle turning lane. Otherwise he should have moved back to the right lane to travel instead of being a lane-hog and impeding the flow of traffic by matching the speed of the vehicle to the right. It doesn't justify brake checking, made even more ludicrous because the man had kids in the car. But it's legitimately frustrating for other drivers and an act of selfishness to cruise slowly in the left lane.
@@Squiggly667 selfishness implies intent, they just seem like idiots

Most of these brake checking events are a “takes two to tango“ situation.
And for the guy in #8 the other car didn't have insurance. I hope it was worth it.
and yet, the actual brake checker usually pays for 100 percent of the resulting accident
@@americanbeauty4015 only if they cut in front and brake check. If you are riding someones ass and they hit the brakes, the rear car is 100% at fault
@@userac-xpg Nope, brake-checking is illegal, even if someone is tailgating.
@@MurgatroidGarfunkleHe’s saying if someone has to step on the brakes for a legit reason. Tailgating and then rear ending someone because they had to break will put you at fault
#15 The kid tried to pull a fast one on the cammer just to be found 100% guilty 😂
The kid lied to his parents when they saw the damage.
#5 I don't know how that's not the cammers fault. Dude knows she wants to take the off-ramp but still speeds up and tries to overtake her.
my thoughts exactly. totally could have let her in. unfortunately also sounds a lil on the spectrum
It seems very few of these people were driving defensively. Half the time it seems they didn't even bother attempting to slow down after the car shot ahead of them then hit the brakes. Here's a hint, always expect everyone on the road to do the stupidest shit at any given second. Always be prepared someone is going to cut you off, pull out in front of you, turn in front of you, or merge into your lane right next to you without looking. Most of the time you can tell they're going to do something stupid before they do it.
@@dedgar6161oh yeah he definitely was, probably shouldn’t even be driving
looks like a distracted driver - blinker on early, but doesn't take the lane until after it's a solid white line, but most certainly the accident was avoidable. the camera vehicle appears to be driving aggressively as well, overtaking cars as you get off the highway when should be slowing down.
@@Halfwheelhellor it’s someone who isn’t familiar with the turn… you can clearly see they kept moving slightly to the right to see if the turn was coming. Then you had the idiot with the cam immediately speed up.
5:50. OMG what a Drama queen!!! "Driver will be sued in court for the property damage, and attorney fees. Property will be seized and wages garnished". All over a very minor fender bender considering that you don't take care of your own car (cracked windshield). Get over yourself.. LMAO!
Perhaps the cammer thought “oh darn I don’t have the money to fix my windshield, oh wait I have an idea”…….or ya know, he’s an idiot.
and an idiot for not just letting the car pass🤦♀️🤦♀️ says they see the car passing and doesn’t slow down, clearly they weren’t paying attention either. letting someone cut you off is better than having that entire situation
Well they'll have the fines from driving with no insurance too, but the guy was definitely being dramatic
#16: The state police might have an easier time taking action if the other car's license plate, make, and model were in focus instead of your hat.
Precisely. Pretty thoughtless placing an object right in front of an auto focus camera.
TAILGATING is BEGGING to be brake checked!!!!!
I go to school on this road everyday, and let me tell you that with all the construction I see lots of idiots and crashes on this hwy
Bit of a peculiar place to have the cam installed. It seems like it's improperly mounted.
Another tip for people from someone who knows and is related to many people who work in the insurance field; STOP PUTTING STUFF ON THE DASHBOARD.
It's not secured, and can turn into a missile during a crash, not to mention causing an issue with auto focus cams like this one.
@@traybern Most (if not all) of these brake checks were from people PASSING the cammer's car and slamming on their brakes. No tailgating involved.
Grown men sounding like they’re about cry over a fender bender is wild
I've noticed quite a few possible 50/50% accidents in this video. People need to remember that just because you have a dashcam, doesn't mean insurance won't find you at fault for a percentage of it.
Failure to avoid an accident is one of the main sticking points here; a good accident investigator is going to pick up on that, especially if you've got a dashcam. What you see here isn't so cut and dry.
Exactly. It's well established law in most states that, if you reasonably CAN avoid an accident, you should do so, even if the other person's at fault. Example: Parents shouldn't let 3-year-olds play in the street. Does that mean you can just mow one down if there's one in the street when you come by?
I got cut off by someone in oncoming traffic whipping a sharp left turn across double yellow lines and 2 lanes of traffic. My insurance hit me with a 10% at fault for not driving up a 45° embankment to avoid the accident.
@@therealteal620im pissed off for you. Thats terrible. Insurance companies just looking out for themselves. Thats why I always lawyer up on big car accidents
@@therealteal620something simaler happened to me. I was making a left turn with a green arrow and a lady hit the side of my car when she went right on red onto the same road and I was given 20% fault for not swerving onto the concrete median (it was a single lane road with a concrete median, bascailly a mini sidewalk separating the lanes.)
#6: No matter what the beef is, brake-checking is illegal. Say goodbye to your affordable insurance premiums, pal.
Insurance? Optional.
Yeah, the guy (non-cammer) was very far off. Cammer did great Let him call 911. And he had plenty of time - at least three seconds - to merge to the left lane.
It's also worth pointing out the video shows him essentially brake checking 2 people at once having been over the lines and the van was braked next to cammer. Big dumb.
The brake checker is a fool, plenty of room to merge. As for a stop sign, that white line on the road edge(fog line) is a defacto stop sign, a stop line.
Isn't tailing illegal as well?
#10 & 13 if the cammer’s weren’t tailgating these accidents would have been avoided.
Indeed. There is really no such thing as 'break checking'. Deliberately passing someone then pulling in close to them and slamming on your brakes is just dangerous driving. In normal traffic people should have enough room between them and the car in front that they can brake and avoid the car in front if the car in front does an emergency stop. Where both parties have been charged, it's often obviously correct - both parties for dangerous driving.
might agree on the fact that cammers should have given more safety space, but both brakecheckers slammed on the brakes with nobody in front and this is not allowed.
#13 is getting a felony though so he totalled his truck, got a felony and is gonna have to pay damages
Not entirely true, because why would someone need to break out of nowhere for no reason? if there was not a single car in front of them for a while, but it would be a different story if there was traffic while they were tailgating, then the cammer would be at fault. But the person that breaks shouldn't have braked when there was no reason to.
@Jacam781 actually there is. It's a big problem where I live. People get on roadways and intentionally brake on the person behind them with no one around. We call that Insurance fraud.
#8 @ 5:42
if a car is a nose ahead of me before the line for the merge ends, i give way for them. Uploader should've given her right of way. And yes, maybe she was in the wrong for being on her phone (as we all see at least one of them while driving), but a lil defensive driving can save you a huge legal headache.
I feel like a lot of these accidents can be avoided if you just let people merge. Road rage is not okay and break checking is extremely dangerous but some of those clips showed people trying to merge into the lane over and the cammer just wouldn't let them.
It is the responsibility of the merger to yield, non-merger has 100% right of way. Non-merger does not have any responsibility to adjust speed to allow anyone to merge, but you cannot adjust speed to prevent merge.
@MurgatroidGarfunkle Right I get that they didn't do anything wrong, but surely they can still let someone in and avoid this whole head ache all together
@@michaelfritz2811 Could...until they piss off the driver behind them when they hit their brakes...and then it all starts again.
@MurgatroidGarfunkle Surely there is a nice area in between slowing down to let someone merge and break checking the guy behind you.
@@michaelfritz2811 Sure, but regardless, you're still risking the car behind you starting to road rage with you. A better idea would be to just follow the rules of the road.
#13 "he's shooting at us now, let's chase him" 😂
I'm shocked more people aren't talking about this one, what kinda Darwin Award ass backwards logic are the couple on? I guess they're truly meant for each other.
Also love how the gf warned him to slow down like 5 while seconds before impact and he completely ignored her warning to a very obvious outcome.
Only in fucking Texas bro lol
Best not to piss off ram drivers most of them are unstable idk why @@aerrae5608
@@NinjaTyler Some people aren't scared little snowflakes like you seem to be. I would chase someone shooting at me. If I ram him and pit maneuver him, he can't shoot with much accuracy, now can he? If I die, so be it. Better than being a coward, I don't curl up into a ball and cry when faced with a problem. I don't want a problem, but if one comes I won't run from it.
Darwin Award = Walking into the propeller of a UAV because you were looking at your phone (yes this happened IRL, google it. How do you not FELL THE WIND, or hear the noise?) Standing up for yourself and dying/getting injured is not stupid. If I ever do get carjacked or attempted mugging I'd rather fight and get shot than just give up like a bitch. I'd have to live with the feeling of being a bitch for the rest of my life. Maybe you can deal with that, I couldn't.
11. REMINDER FOR ALL 4 WHEELERS AND MOTORCYCLISTS IF YOU BRAKE CHECK A SEMI AND CAUSE A COLLISION, YOU ARE NOT GONNA WIN!
8:35 had all the time in the world to hold that horn but couldn’t hit the breaks 💀
It's amazing how many people that are in a rush, tailgating and flashing lights at the car in front, who suddenly have the time to turn into brake checkers once they have passed said car! 😅
#2 called the police and got himself ticketed haha.
I would love to hear his argument in court as to why ramming the brake checker multiple times wasn't reckless.
#1 was literally going the wrong way lmao
yeah what the hell was he doing? it looks like he jumped a curb too
That doesn’t justify anything…
@@wigit2216 i think it says that she was blocking him in so he prob just hopped the curb to get out cuz hes in a car that can eat curbs
He was getting away from the car that blocked him in
@@450clancy6 really? then why wasn't it shown? seems conveniently cut off to me. Not that that justifies anything
6:37 I’ll tell you why…. It’s because you were 1 foot away from her rear bumper….. what did you have to gain by being at a distance you couldn’t react to her driving decisions from? Other than damaged property.
Smoothbrain take. That was far from tailgating plus there was no reason for driver to hit the brakes
@@TomasUjhelyi it wasn’t tailgating at all but obviously he was driving too close to react to her which is why he rear ended her. The proof is literally the clip you just watched what do you mean? 😂😂 if he was 20ft further back do you think he would’ve wrecked? Probably not… because he would’ve been following at the correct distance. But yeah tailgating is even worse. You’re even closer and can’t react in time. If you were to see the accident report of this case you would see that if the cammer showed the footage to the police he would’ve received a ticked for “failure to maintain a safe traveling distance.” So It’s not a smooth brain take. It’s just The facts.
Brake checking should be an instant ban on someone's driving license.
Absolutely. I would add that left lane camping on the interstate should result in a ticket no differently than speeding (it actually causes far more fatalities and is essentially the recruiting pool of people from which brake checkers usually spawn). Imagine a society where people just minded their own business on the roads. Let the cops handle the speeders; it's not anybody else's job. If you cruise along in the left lane, causing traffic congestion and forcing people to dangerously pass on the right, then you should get ticketed no less than a speeder. Eventually everybody would learn to drive a little more rationally again. We might be able to just get in our cars and drive places without so much frustration without the campers and brake checkers everywhere.
I hate that traffic laws aren't amended to people who break check and are driving without a license, without insurance, ditch and are later caught by cops or lied to their insurance getting their license suspended and if they're driving without a license face a steep fine or straight up jail time. Citations and tickets are useless and don't really do anything to solve an increasing behavior.
My belief is that they catch at least one charge and have to pay out of their own pocket for damages and for any physical injuries.
100%. Start handing out serious jail time and then see how they behave. People will think twice about hit and run if they face 2 years in jail and full asset confiscation to pay the huge fine and victim compensation
City don't care who's fault. They just want $$ from both side.
Driving with no common sense should be one too
It’s the ones that brake check and cause an accident then get out waving their hands around like it’s all your fault and you hit them without them doing anything that tick me off.
Brake checking should be exactly the same as assault. You can knowingly injure others over your temper tantrum .
8:10, don’t be this calm guy getting shot at. You or your girlfriend will be dead as you calmly read off the license plate.
#5 the car ahead of cammer had the turn signal on with plenty of time to spare. The cammer saw the turn signal, but switched to the same lane the other car was switching to. Instead of just laying back and let the car merge, cammer accelerated and created the situation. 100 pct cammers fault.
#5 the cammer is not at fault. The vehicle in front of the cammer crossed a solid white line, made a illegal lane change. It doesn't matter if at a traffic light, or at a highway exit. You cross over a white solid line, and get hit. You automatically at fault for a illegal lane change.
@@jeffreymartin89 when faced with a confused/reckless driver who had a right signal on approaching an exit the cammer decided the best cause of action was to speed up past her at said exit. while she should pay the lion's share it wouldn't be disgrace at all if he was found partially liable.
@@1angelsighit doesn't matter. It's the cammers lane. You cross a soild white line, and hit a nother vehicle, your 100 percent at fault. The cammer can do what ever he wants, it's speed up or slow down. The aggressive driver made a unsafe lane change. That driver is 100 percent at fault. You yield to the vehicle in the lane your going to change lanes into. Cammer has the right away.
@@jeffreymartin89That's not how it works. The driver of the white car was at fault yes, but you also need to drive to resolve the situation, not to make it worse. The driver had a right signal on meaning they wanted to take the exit and there was a lot of room to do so. There were not much risk if the cammer just let them in or hold back. But the cammer decided to speed up instead causing an accident. The cammer is 70-80% at fault for reckless driving if you ask me.
@@purp1e200 your so wrong, the cammer is not at fault, the white car is 100 percent bat fault for unsafe lane changes, you don't come over 2 lanes of traffic, & expect to have the right of way. You yield to the vehicle in that lane of traffic. The cammer has the right away, it's there lane, you switch lanes,you make sure it's clear to change lanes. Into the lane your changing into.
I really think you all should get bull bars fitted to the front of your vehicles. It would make scammers think twice (or maybe more!) before brake checking any one. Hi from NZ
I've got a brush guard and a very loud horn on my truck. I've had people just about crap themselves when they try to cut me off and I lay on the horn for a few seconds.
Ive asked the company I work for if we can do that with our trucks and was flat out *denied* for liability. 🤷♂
Bull bars are illegal in many countries. It's illegal here in India.
I don't think my Honda accord could have one..
@@User-j63849j sedans usually doesn't have bull bars. Even if it does, it will look awkward.
5:45 still was entirely avoidable. They cut you off because they weren't paying attention but the accident happened because you chose not to give them any room.
Came to the comments to see if anyone noticed this too.
And then he’s gonna sue her for it! I hope he looses money on that case. Definitely at fault at least partially
I was looking for this!!! Thank you!! No way there's so much damage, she can't just pay to fix it he needs to sue her.. Absolutely ridiculous, what an A-hole.
3:41 the guy is an asshole. He knows that car was trying to get in that lane. Honking the horn lol. People just need to chill
#5 you're lucky they only wanted you 30% liable when you changed lanes and sped up the side of someone who was indicating for quite some time that they were changing lanes/direction. Also the lack of avoiding action, where you leant on the horn instead of the brake. Oh, and the brake lights came on before they changed lanes....
it doesn't really matter because by law, the car was illegally passing a solid white line
Agree with you. Indicating was a good enough sign that the driver in front was going to change into that lane. Otherwise he/she wouldn’t stay behind the truck. Driver with the dashcam was impatient and not giving any space. Should be charged 50/50 in my opinion
Crossing a white line doesn’t mean you get to rear end the other car. I think this is more like 90% liability on the cammer.
A simple effort to yield to the driver in front would have been the rational thing to do. The camera driver was distracted talking on the phone.
@@Ethan.s.. you're right it would be the rational thing to do but the reason cammer wasn't found responsible is probably because the other car was making an illegal maneuver
13:25 or so... "No no... you're completely right. You SHOULD have sped up and hit the car trying to get in front of you. Absolutely!" That was sarcasm. Even IF the driver of the rear-ended vehicle was lane jumping, why would you intentionally cause an accident? Fools in automobiles.
I basically posted the same comment haha
Yeah sorry but he has the dashcam so he's not entitled to courtesy! Letting someone insert themselves after properly signaling their intentions? Are you kidding me?
Rules and common sense dictate roughly the same. If you want to change lanes, indicate and wait until it's safe to do so. Speeding up can greatly help if there's room for that, but also give people in the other lane time to react. If they don't react, slow down and merge behind them. How hard can it be? If they want to be a dick and actively not let you in, in many jurisdictions they might not even be in the wrong legally so why would you as the merger willingly want to cause an accident?
Brake checking should be a life-long loss of your driver license, and 10yrs in prison for attempted murder.
Especially if done against motorcyclists like in clip 7.
Never tell them "I have it on dash cam". Let them tell their BS to the cops first.
#3. Definitely the brake checkers fault. He made a tight maneuver and if he kept going he would have been good. But he decided to check you after you honked at him.
And the cammer wouldn’t let them in.
@@johnp139 The RAV4 had basically completed the merge before it brake checked the cammer.
@@jamescollins8397they brake checked them because they wouldn’t slow down and let them in
@@johnp139I'm curious what state are you from that puts the responsibility on everyone except the person merging? Where I grew up, we were taught it's the person changing lanes who has the responsibility to do it safely.
@@mikem9058 Exactly. Turn signals don't automatically give a person right of way.
I also love the ones who put their signals on a split second before making a lane change, to where they don't even flash until their vehicle is already half way or fully over the line. That's not how they're supposed to be used.
Best fantasy fiction? Penthouse forums or "The drive got 4 citations and the cop put a bullet in his head just to make sure. The whole insurance company stood and clapped and upgraded me to a Ferrari"
Rare gem of a comment
Most of these accidents can be avoided by braking and stay alert and keep a distance but these drivers are too stubborn to brake
2. I think them both getting a reckless driving ticket is because of the fact that it took so long for the OP to slow down after the impact hence why they hit the white car a second time. Also a median isn’t the place to park after an accident.
Definitely. The driver with the dashcam hit the red car on purpose. The kids didn’t deserve that
Also camping in the passing lane going exactly the same speed as the car to their right. This is what fuels road rage.
@@Sampsonay which could also be the reckless driving charge. It is a law to move if someone wants to pass you. Holding the lane and refusing to let someone pass is considered reckless because they then do this.
Too bad he should've never did that period@@happiepop
@@Sampsonay camping in the left lane is only illegal on freeways. How do you know the cam car didn't need to turn left soon?

9:39: "multiple attempts to avoid." Bro, you left a wide ass gap in front of you, allowing the dude to get back in front. ACCELERATE.
let's be honest here, a lot of those accidents could have been avoided by just the victim paying attention, a lot of these mfs have the reaction time of a sloth, and an ability to read others that is just non existant.
#3: You brake check, you pay.
Yep that's the problem they look for a payday because they are too angry to care about themselves or anybody who is in that car with them
Merry Christmas, Dashcam Lessons, and everyone watching this holiday season.
Thank you, you too! Stay safe and stay warm!
7:00 4 wheeler tries to brake check a semi... semi cowabunga, it is 😂
Damn near every single one of these "accidents" could have been avoided if the cammers had used their brakes instead of their ego.
3:48 Cammer claims they have no brake lights, cammer is blind, I can clearly their brake lights.
And he sped up to prevent the guy from exiting. I see both in the wrong.
6. The private STOP sign, unenforceable sounds like you are trying to justify blowing it and cutting some one off. Don't drive like a jerk and you will have less people mad at you.
I actually doubt their claim of it being unenforceable. There probably is language somewhere in the state motor vehicle code saying you need to stop and ensure it's clear before entering a roadway from a driveway. Also, most places consider parking lots of businesses that open to the public as "public vehicular areas" subject to traffic laws too. (It's how they charge people with street racing or reckless driving for doing donuts or drifting in those parking lots.)
@@Orxenhorf the stop sign is unenforceable, but you still have to yield to thru traffic already on the street you're turning on to, regardless of the existence of a stop sign or not.
Some places, a stop sign on private property, like parking lots exits that enter onto Public roadways, ARE Enforcable.
Now all those random stop signs in said parking lot are NOT Enforcable
Depends on the state as this is something that varies wildly.
The guy he "pulled out in front of" took over 10 seconds to even get next to him. I could only dream that all the times I'm "cut off" are that way.
4:49, no that is entirely you and your buddies fault. You're going 41 MPH up to a dead stopped intersection. Lack of forward awareness.
6:20, probably because you, the cammer, don't understand safe following distances and were extremely close to her rear.
#2 was riding next to that subaru probably going under the speed limit blocking traffic.
You can see the car coming up from behind quite quickly at the start. Both are side by side but that wasn't for a long period of time. The nice thing to do would have been for the one driver to realize he was going similar speed to pull in behind him but it isn't acceptable to just pull in front and hit the breaks to cause an accident.
What happened to common decency like tapping your brake when someone is trying to move over.
They might not have right of way but who the hell wins in a crash?
Usually the guy that cashes the insurance check is deemed the winner. 😁
@@me3333 That doesn't really matter when your car has two grand in damages but the insurance pays $500. Most people have deductibles.
@@LightsOfElberfeld Those people usually know how to work the system and will most likely get a "pain and suffering" payment as well
@@me3333 You don't have to work the system to get that. It's automatic and it's about $900. I received one when someone rear-ended me while I was stopped at a red light. Knocked us all the way through the intersection and broke the front seats. It comes with a "you promise not to sue us later". My passenger had neck pain for six months.
And some people pay outrageous insurance rates and then intentionally try to get their car totaled so they can take advantage of a clause where the insurance would buy them a brand new car one model year newer (I had this clause on one of my past cars), and so they see a way to get a shiny new car and avoid a bunch of car repair bills that they had hanging over their heads already
Few things. 1. Where I live the left lane is for passing, it’s a law. We have signs stating it. Speed up and or move over…slower traffic keep right. 2. Speeding around someone and braking checking is incredibly dangerous. 3. Being “cutoff” is in no way a reason to drive that way and potentially put numerous lives in danger. 4. Brake checking someone needs a much more severe penalty since it’s intentional.
The vast majority of states are keep right states.
7:25 Wow what a genius way to teach a lesson!! Banged up his own car, got 6 citations and insurance won't cover the repair and he has to pay for it. Sure taught the other guy!! NOT.
Tbf from what we see on 2 is that when we got the frontview… the guy is driving in the left lane just hanging next to the other car or slightly behind it. Move to the right lane if ur not passing someone
Exactly. As well as, you can plainly see he didn't attempt to stop when the guy brake checked him. His speed remained constant, compared to the car on his right, and is probably the reason why he was also cited with reckless driving. I'd love to see what happened when he fought it in court...
Wish I could read lips, as the cammer apparently had a few things to say about the other driver. Not only should he have been in the right lane, as you mentioned, but I get the feeling he slowed down just to be a jerk. And yep - he definitely did not brake at all or try to avoid hitting the guy in the red car. Even with a camera showing the brake check, I still would have done what I could to mitigate or avoid a collision altogether.
Since we're just making assumptions, let me throw mine in and say he probably was trying to pass but for some reason the car in the right lane wouldn't let him. It happens all the time, people know everyone's supposed to filter to the right to keep the passing lane open but simultaneously get offended that they're about to be passed.
As for whether or not he should've slowed down to avoid a very intended and malicious brake-check, the objectively correct answer regardless of anyone else's opinion is no. Brake-checkers are already trying to fight you, they're just using their vehicle as an extension of their will towards violence and harm. You as a private citizen are under no obligation to participate in another private citizen attempting to restrict your freedom to travel unimpeded just so they can bring you to a stop and initiate more violence against you. Should the cammer have rear-ended them? Probably not, but he's not in the wrong for doing so, he's just incredibly irresponsible with preserving the mechanical integrity of his car. He would've been better served trying to evade this person, but he 100% has the right to not play ball with someone trying to restrict his right to move freely. In the legal world, that's called attempted kidnapping.
Lmao people siding with brake checkers is insane. I'm guessing you all brake check too. Brake checking should include jail time, anyone TRYING to cause an accident.
@@kristofevarsson6903 You can recheck his cam footage. He speeds up when he sees the red car then speeds and stalls next to the other car. Speed is recorded
There are cameras everywhere these days and yet these bad drivers blame the good driver and insurance companies play their games.
Insurance companies NEED bad drivers. Bad drivers are probably the majority of their profits.
Half of these are not "good" drivers
1:08 hitting him was avoidable. what he did was wrong, but your failure to exercise basic defensive driving earned you that reckless driving ticket
I love how in most of these videos the cammer is the one at fault 🤦♂️🤣😂
4. Gets out the car and is still texting 😂
cammer was flashing high beams at the beginning for no apparent reason. look at the bumper of the gray SUV and you can see the reflections.
@@Jaakuna-usagi still no excuse, if you drive youd know that either means speed up ur getting too close or too move out the overtake so they can pass, if the lady wants her fragile ego to be damaged because she cant accept someone wants to travel faster then she shouldnt have a liscense. Infact hope she lost it
#2 last chance doctrine.
You have to at least try to prevent an accident; if there is time and space to do so. Ramming the car over and over will get you charged as partially responsible.
Exactly, it looks like truck don't attempt to brake hard. It's sedan fault however truck had chance to avoid it or make less damages by even attempt emergency braking.
It's hilarious they think they can fight that in court.
4:55 Yes, you were. The incident may not be your fault, however if you leave enough room for the vehicle in front of you and you get brake checked, in most cases, it will not result in an accident. You were even too close to your friend to stop in time.
1:40 This happened to me ten years ago in a tunnel. I managed to brake at the last moment, but the entire column behind me was not so lucky because not all drivers had enough safety distance. The one who suddenly changed lanes and ran in front of me did not test the brakes, but had to brake suddenly because the column in front of him stopped. If he hadn't run in, I would have had room to reduce my speed without sudden braking. A little inattention and a real disaster, several seriously wounded and great material damage.
Be Safe out there people and drive safe on this holiday season, and watch out for drivers that aren’t driving properly! Merry Christmas Everyone and Have a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you also!
#6 the brake checker was no where close to you when you pulled out. They need cited for that.
People with dash cams suck at defensive driving…. Stay back and be aware at all times and you can prevent idiots from wrecking you.
All these cammers that make no effort to avoid collision, even speeding up to close gaps and then start crying when they're found at fault, insane.
This week, I am installing my dashcam and upgrading my wife's. The arrogance of people on the road these days.
Merry Christmas to all of you who aggregate these videos and to the people that supply them.
Hate when I get break checked. I'm always back to work on time!
Brake checkers boggle my mind, in such a hurry, but have time to brake check lol
Maybe don’t tailgate people next time. Wow, crazy concept. I’m not a left lane camper. If I see someone behind me in the left lane, I’ll move out of the way. But if we’re on a two lane road or not a highway, don’t ride my bumper. You’re not going to get where you want to go faster if you tailgate.
@@charlieherring8458found the brake checker
@@charlieherring8458 Just let them pass and get a ticket or jail time for speeding. Is it worth chancing them mistiming that brake when they to rage rev and end up slamming into your rear end? Potentially hurting or killing people? Naw fam, let them pass, they'll be out of your way and you out of theirs and they won't be raging at you.
Imagine brake checking someone and then give a surprise Pikachu face when someone drives into them 😂😂
#10. Did he explain to her why he was tailgating?
Come on people its BRAKE not BREAK!
Americans...
This is becoming a pet peeve of mine, just like people who don't know the difference between when to use woman and women when they write 😂
The same people cannot beak a chocolate caek...
"I have it on dash cam", like this phrase magically erases the cammers poor behavior 😂.
6:46 You brake, I accelerate. Who's winning.😂😂😂 7:02 oops .....where are you🤣🤣🤣
It's always the person's fault that waves their hands when they get hit. But they always get humbled in the end 😂😂
2. Driving slow in the passing lane for just move over an stop wasting people’s time
6:25 Ever heard of safety distance?? This accident was so preventable!
8:25 “ WHAT THE FUCK DUDE! god DAMN” LMFAO
#10 Following way too close. 2 car lengths maybe a bit more at likely 60 mph, that’s on you for that accident.
I love how many of the cammers are actively in the passing lane and somehow think they’re in the right
I agree they shouldn't be in the passing lane while not passing. Brake checking is still illegal. That being said: Passing lane dwellers can go straight to hell for being selfish, inconsiderate d-bags.
EXACTLY!!!!
@@nealsmith1649Wow, 90 % of the state of Ohio would be going to Hell! They are absolutely the worst for it too. Gets on interstate and go directly to the far left lane, and stays there until it's time to exit, cutting everyone off doing so.
Particularly the big rigs. Here in California, it’s the worst. They’ll be blocking all three lanes going 20 below the speed limit with a mile of traffic backed up behind them
Still more in the right than brake checkers
1:03 that was beautiful 😂😂. That broke guy in the red car is never gonna fix that 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
#2. Driver camping in the left lane driving side by side with the car in the right lane causes another driver to become justifiably frustrated.
Cruising along in the fast lane, or left lane, without passing or turning, is a ticketable offense. That's why people trying to pass flash their lights. They want you to move over so they can pass.
I noticed a lot of these videos are of people in the passing lane and are not passing anyone. I think some videos are being misrepresented.
See someone behind you "riding your ass" when you're in the left lane, move over, period. Let them go.
Good luck with ever seeing them getting a ticket. They usually have the highway backed up so much, the cops rarely find them.
It's not always a ticketable offense by itself. In Georgia, last I checked, it's illegal *if* someone is behind you and you are essentially blocking them. But, if the road is clear and nobody's behind you, it's not a crime.
@@everyisnaadisfabricated3784 that action is what causes road rage, traffic, and other issues. Just move over.
@@everyisnaadisfabricated3784 Then you're breaking the law if somebody's behind you.
Some of these were the result of the video vehicle not wanting to let someone in. It could've been easily avoided if their ego's didn't get in the way!
THSI!....I looked for this comment, as I was gong to say that a few of these were totally avoidable, if the person with the video would just let their ego go. They were instigating the behavior. I don't at all condone break checking, but I personally feel we live in a society where there are WAY too many crazy people. If someone cuts me off, I just ignore it and go about my day. I have seen videos and heard stories where someone simply got shot or shot at for blowing their horn and a bad driver. It's just not worth it.
Okay, but if you are already in the lane, you own the lane. While it's courtesy to let someone in, you're under no obligation to do so. It's up to the merging party to speed up or slow down to give themselves room to get in. regardless of courtesy, the merging party IS in the wrong
@@jacobherpin643 I agree with you. I am referring to the person in the lane who is speeding up and slowing down to prevent someone from getting in the lane. That's where I feel like you have to check your ego. I have a friend who is like this. I rode with him a few times. And he always lane hog and speed everywhere. He told me he hates getting passed by someone. It's the dumbest thing I ever heard from a driver. He simply hates being passed by anyone. That's an ego issue.
@Mercenary-1914 ahh okay I get your point. I am a company truck driver whose governor is set at 65. I see multiple times on a daily basis people trying to merge on an interstate who don't understand how to use that merge lane. I have people passing on the left side while people in the merge lane on the right think that because they have their signal on they can cut me off or get pissed off at me because I won't hard brake to let them in when they can't be bothered to use that merge lane to get up to highway speeds before cutting me off... I hate people.
It's amazing people don't consider when acting like this that the other party might not be somebody they ought to be messing with.
Some of these drivers were intentionally running into them
3:28 the VW definitely had brake lights. The 30% was probably because they think it was easily preventable (which it was). Sometimes the "I have right-of-way" or "I was here first" can cost you by intentionally not avoiding an accident.
I saw the CHMSL come on, but did not see any normal brake lights.
Yup, cammer was instigating
I agree with the 30%. I don’t think instigating is the right word.

I’ve got a 79 3500 GMC truck with a double row of six inch tubes welded on for front bumper. Nobody brake checks me👍
I'm a huge fan of the old GM "square-body" trucks. Durable, reliable, easy to work on, most parts are dirt-cheap, and they're not susceptible to wonky sensors. I approve!
We used to have an '85 Chevy C-20, aside from the "Rot-chester" carb, it was a workhorse. You couldn't even tell it had over 300k on it, unless you looked at the bench seat padding (or the hole where the padding should have been). Chevy dealership offered the previous owner $100 for trade-in, he was so insulted that he signed it over to us for $0. (During the Cash-For-Clunkers era.)
Ended up selling the truck to a friend-of-a-friend who needed parts to restore his '87, but when he showed up to take it home, he decided his '87 would be the donor vehicle instead.
@@dashcamandy2242 This one has 600,000 miles
If I learned anything from these videos... the semi in the left lane that put the 4x4 in the ditch definitely had enough time to slow down hahaha
Only in Spartanburg where they charge the person that wasn’t doing wrong with reckless driving. SMH.
3:48 yes when you have the last clear chance to avoid an accident by simply hitting your brakes instead of your horn it does make you partially liable for the accident
Cammer must be blind, claims they have no brake lights which I can clearly see brake lights that work.
@@22gonefishing brake lights came on AFTER impact. So either they were using the hand brake and after getting rear-ended slammed on the foot brake, OR there was a short that cleared with the impact.
@@SchererProductionServices Or they were just slowing down (without any brakes) and the cammer accelerated into them knowing they would be liable. You can clearly see a point where the cammer's car pops up at 3:42/3:43 when he stopped braking.
@@neutralcommenter7800good catch. I feel like the camera guy is 100 percent at fault in that one
