I remember an episode of Cops where an accident involving large commercial vehicle. the driver of the car said he didn't see the truck. The officer asked incredulously and pointed, "You didn't see all that?"
And today's award for witty appropriate sarcasm goes to @rharbarenko. But seriously the drivers in DFW are so bad you don't have to be a giant truck to "be in their way".
Advise from my driving instructor, 40+ years ago, stop back far enough that you can see the car infront of you rear tires touching the pavement. This gives you enough room to go around.
Happen to me twice. 1st time idiot that slide where I had been sitting at red light didn't let me back in from the shoulder when light changed. 2nd was a funeral procession on a Saturday on interstate under construction when another idiot ran up to barrier and cut in front of lead car starting a chain reaction. Daughter was 3 or 4 cars ahead. When I saw her brake lights and rear rise up, I knew I had to get out fast. That left the cars breaking room behind me also. The owner had asked me to drive and kept repeating "thank God I asked you to drive, I would never have thought to do that". Thankful everyone ahead of me only was bumped and/ or very minor scratch on bumpers. Always have all three mirrors set properly and check rear frequently even on highways and interstate driving.
3:20 The trucker started to slow as soon as the SUV's brake lights came on, before they even started to spin out. It looks like they were trying to safely stop.
agreed if you watch the speed he went from 56 at the start of the clip to 47 when the car started to lose control down to 29 at impact. I would be hard pressed to find him at fault
Trucker is definitely at fault for the hit. From the time the incident began to impact was 11 seconds and they managed to scrub only 25mph off their speed. That is clear evidence that they were going about twice as fast as conditions allowed.
@@MrStrizver actually in snowy weather it takes up 30 or more to stop from 56 to 0. was he speeding yes. but until you've driven a commercial or even taken the CDL test, please don't say stupid things you know nothing about
We motorcyclists fully expect to not be seen by other drivers, as we're not in their phone screens...but to miss a semi with a full load at this rate. That's something.
@@kid31989 "Might want to open your eyes and you would see the semi running that driver off the road..." Oh, you mean the truck that stayed in his own lane and didn't change speed until the stupid kid (like you) looked like he might come back and get in the truck's way?
2:34 How do you figure the trucker is at fault here???? Clearly the SUV doesnt know how to drive in bad weather, and do you know how long it would take a HEAVY truck to stop in those conditions???
2:49 Does the truck driver know how long it would take to stop his truck in those conditions? Because mikebuck is right. He needed to leave enough time to stop if something happened to the vehicle in front. Something _did_ happen and he _didn't_ stop. That's not anybody else's fault but his.
The truck could have slowed down a little sooner but he didn't, even his dashcam said the speed he was going. Every driver, including you have lost control in snow/bad weather that wasn't your fault/control no matter how safe you were driving.
8:55 - I did the same thing once, but it was dark & the road incline made my headlights show the treeline on the other side of the road, but not the entire road itself. I pulled out for a left turn and the center was immediately VERY clear & in front of me & I instinctively swerved more to the left… towards oncoming traffic 😀 … but, it was late at night & no one was on the road thankfully. Im also glad there wasn’t a cop nearby bc I’m sure I looked like a drunk driver 😭 I was a nervous, new driver & hadn’t driven at night very often- very big lesson learned!
I remember driving a car at night for the first time. Actually, the first few times. I was fighting back panic by telling myself to just stick between the centre line and the outside line and I'd be fine. I did, and I was... eventually.
Bro I think you need to rewatch this clip again the truck did not change lanes and he has every right to shine his light at him so please know something before commenting 🙄
There is totally truth to that. Especially on a road trip where drivers are switching at a filling station. I usually get a satellite view on my phone of where I am before I leave the parking lot. It makes it a lot easier when you skill yourself about the streets before driving on them.
When I first started driving a big truck in2005 I would plan my trip then after about 6 hours in I would have to swap with another driver got so bad I quit planning. I just took off towards the customer
Most of these idiots know exactly where their exit is (might even take it every day). They just don’t want to slow down and move into the right lane ahead of time. That would be “inconvenient”. They would rather cut across the other lanes at the last “possible” second, creating unnecessary risk to themselves and others.
oh those distractions that make you miss your exit at the last moment... most people don't think about how there's another exit coming up just use that one and loop around lol
@@dojo1249… He managed to move “just enough” towards his proper lane so that it was more like a hard core “side swipe”. I’m sure that for at least a moment though, he probably believed he was about to die.
As in #18, I was driving my Ford Ranger through Cleveland along I90, heavy rain, and there was slushy snow on the sides so water had nowhere to go! Got in the middle lane behind a tractor-trailer, may have gotten slowed down to 50mph but he had 18 tires to clear me a path. Took only a few minutes longer than usual, but got to the other side without a scratch! Usually run 75-80mph through there, gotta know when to slow it down!!
As a former truck driver I don't know how many times someone coming up behind me would speed up to pass me and then brake so they could make the next turn.
You don't have to drive a truck to experience that. I get that in my personal vehicle all the time. I'll be driving along at the speed limit, someone will rush up behind me, pass on the left, and then come back to my lane early in order to take the exit.
3:10: That truck was absolutely not at fault. You can see he decelerated by over 25mph by the time he reached the car. If he was loaded, hitting the brakes would have likely jackknifed him and took out other cars. He did exactly what he needed to do to keep the other traffic safe, and ensure the person that caused the problem was the only one to take damage.
Moreover, we don't "feel" what the trucker is sensing in the truck. Giving the conditions, they may be braking as hard as they can while trying to prevent the truck from jack knifing and causing bigger problems.
You have a responsibility to drive at a speed safe for road conditions. Since he couldn't stop before hitting the car, that means he was driving faster than road conditions allowed. Hence, truck drivers fault
The truck driver absolutely was at fault. He was doing 55 mph. So he needed to decelerate by 55 mph by the time he reached the car! If he couldn't manage that he was too fast or too close.
#15 now how are you just going to pull out onto the highway from a standstill without even looking at your rear view mirror or at least turning around to see if it was safe to pull out. He’s lucky that the truck didn’t run over his a$$. Because there was no way that the truck could slam on his breaks and be able to stop in time. I hope that you changed your diaper at the next rest stop. 😂
@@tosa2522 To seperate sane from insane People. Sadly it does not work too well. But if you think taking a License from someone is stopping ALL of them, you are wrong. I would say, 99% without License dont drive, but there is always the 1% that causes Trouble for the Rest.
The bad situational awareness in the truck depot who straightened his Mansfield bar and the barrier by pulling out cracked me up. Most of the rest are just terrifying.
0:25 The semi ABSOLUTELY cut over into another lane without even fully clearing the merge area! That’s a whole lane of traffic that has the right of way that the unaware trucker cut into. The suv has every right to be pissed that the semi nearly wrecked them.
1:10. The car just didn't want to take the exit behind a truck. What is the mentality of overtaking one more vehicle - even if it takes a kilometre to do it. And he burst a tire.
Just passed my CDL test, and I now have a lot more respect for big truck drivers, it would be good if everyone could understand the effort that goes into checking your mirrors and keeping an eye on the road at the same time
#4 was the white Explorer's own fault for not seeing that all lanes ahead were slowing down & did a panic brake & attempt to swerve--the Subaru was already in the lane hitting their brakes due to traffic.
EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF THESE ACCIDENTS WERE CREATED BY CARS I SEE A LOT OF MISTAKES THAT TRUCK DRIVERS DID BY DRIVING TO FAST IN BAD WEATHER AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROLE THE TRUCK.
#9 I disagree. Watch the speed indicator and you will see the trucker is slowing down. Likely they were braking as much as they could without losing control (unlike the truck in #16)
He did slow down some, but right before the SUV lost control the trucker was doing 55 mph and that was too fast for the road conditions. Just because the sign may say the speed limit is 55 mph, doesn’t mean that’s what you need to drive. You have to drive according to the weather and the road conditions.
I don’t know if we’re talking about the same incident because y’all don’t put time stamps down, but… If you’re talking about this one (2:49)… The problem is that the trucker didn’t slow down enough, early on, because he was hoping to “skirt around” the incident rather than stopping. By the time it was evident that there would be no path around it… it was already too late, and he no longer had the necessary space to stop.
The trucker tried to stop the best that he could, but trucks can’t stop on a dime like a car can. Especially if they are carrying a loaded truck, plus the weight of the truck. It takes a lot more distance than a car to stop.
I do think that the trucker was going to fast for the road conditions. He was traveling at 55mph before the suv lost control. I think the trucker should have been going slower than that.
@@pacluvof course you do, and then the trucker would be going too slow and everyone passing them would be pulling in front of them and brake checking all day long. Truckers simply cannot win in a world with zero respect for anything.
Because sometimes, when a truck driver blows his horn at an idiot for cutting them off… the idiot might respond by brake checking just to make matters even worse.
Watching the accident with the snowplow reminded me... the law says don't pass plow on right, or is it left side? My Dad taught me, DONT PASS THE SNOWPLOW PERIOD.
So many of these have the POV big rig carrying high speed into a visibly worsening situation. Yes there are only second involved, but jumping on the brakes sooner and harder would have avoided at least some of these incidents.
The one starting at 0:49 is a perfect example of why some people should never be allowed near a vehicle, let alone be able to drive one. @3:12, "trucker may be at fault here", wow, ya think!? He hit that jeep like he was trying to teach it a lesson!
Re number 8, trees appear to randomly fall in hot weather because they fear drought and suck up too much water, with heavy summer foliage they become too heavy and collapse. We lose more trees here in California due to this in summer than we do to our rainstorms (where mudslides weaken root systems).
*EDIT* I may have gotten the vehicles incorrect In My statement. If the Subaru Forester is the white minivan that spun out, then I change my comments. I was assuming the Subaru Forester was in front of the white minivan that's fun out but after rewatching the video a few times and slowing it down, the Subaru Forester might be the white vehicle that spun out in front of the semi truck. In video number 4 they have an incorrect description for text on the video. The Subaru Forester that was changing lanes was not in the wrong actually. The white minivan was in the wrong. If you start the video at the 1 minute and 20 second mark, you can see that the white minivan has at least two seconds to notice the signal from the vehicle ahead but since the signal was already going when the video starts, my guess is they had at least three seconds and possibly more. Also, if you stop the video right at the beginning, you can see that there is more than enough distance between the vehicle in front of the white Minivan and the minivan itself. I would say more than about 8 to 10 car lengths which is easily more than enough time to give the minivan enough distance and time to appropriately adjust and slow down. What was going on is the minivan just wasn't paying attention and was in a hurry I didn't care so they ended up getting what they deserved. Furthermore, the truck driver is at fault as well because they should have been paying more attention themselves. As soon as that minivan started to swerve, they should have been slowing down but you can see that the truck driver didn't slow down until the minivan was almost completely turned around and by that time the semi truck was only about 100 ft from the minivan which is not even close to enough time to slow down the semi truck given the speed that they were going. That semi truck driver deserves to get their license taken away or at least suspended for a little bit of time and they should have to go through driving classes themselves. You have to pay attention to what's going on in front of you so you can have enough time to react and in both of these cases, there was more than enough time for both drivers to react appropriately but neither one of them did. The semi truck driver was definitely in the wrong. Had they paid attention, they would not have even gotten hit at all.

This video really illustrates the main problem with Big Rigs. They are so hard to see, Practically invisible.

"I didn't see". Translation: I didn't look.

When I am stopped or slowed suddenly in traffic especially on highways or freeways, I am always watching my rear view mirror.
And leave yourself enough room to dart off to the side/out of the way.

This is why i gave up driving in 2008 and don't own a mobile. And I'm an insurance broker, thank goodness I learned to drive in the UK.
#4 was the white Explorer's own fault for not seeing that all lanes ahead were slowing down & did a panic brake & attempt to swerve--the Subaru was already in the lane hitting their brakes due to traffic.
Pickup truck tries cutting into my lane and... I'm like whatever!
#1 how you gone let that little car make you move like that.
The last one was a turbo letting go.
Are you sure?
It looked exactly the same as my radiator bursting last week 🤷♂️
8:10 I thought the guy was breakdancing at first until he got up and started to stumble.
Heart stopping for the driver.
I have missed my exit more than once, I always find another
#16 is just mind boggling. All that room on the shoulder.. all that time and space to react and they just slam into the car lol.
9:35 "Shoulda went to the high side Cole..."
Pickup!!!! Pickup!!! Call them pickup, especially when one of the vehicles happens to actually be a real truck.
EVEN THOUGH ALOT OF THESE ACCIDENTS WERE CREATED BY CARS I SEE A LOT OF MISTAKES THAT TRUCK DRIVERS DID BY DRIVING TO FAST IN BAD WEATHER AND NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROLE THE TRUCK.
#9 I disagree. Watch the speed indicator and you will see the trucker is slowing down. Likely they were braking as much as they could without losing control (unlike the truck in #16)
He did slow down some, but right before the SUV lost control the trucker was doing 55 mph and that was too fast for the road conditions. Just because the sign may say the speed limit is 55 mph, doesn’t mean that’s what you need to drive. You have to drive according to the weather and the road conditions.
I don’t know if we’re talking about the same incident because y’all don’t put time stamps down, but…
If you’re talking about this one (2:49)…
The problem is that the trucker didn’t slow down enough, early on, because he was hoping to “skirt around” the incident rather than stopping.
By the time it was evident that there would be no path around it… it was already too late, and he no longer had the necessary space to stop.
3:15 #9 why would the trucker be at fault for the other car not knowing how to drive in snow and then stopping on the highway?
The trucker tried to stop the best that he could, but trucks can’t stop on a dime like a car can. Especially if they are carrying a loaded truck, plus the weight of the truck. It takes a lot more distance than a car to stop.
I do think that the trucker was going to fast for the road conditions. He was traveling at 55mph before the suv lost control. I think the trucker should have been going slower than that.
@@pacluvof course you do, and then the trucker would be going too slow and everyone passing them would be pulling in front of them and brake checking all day long. Truckers simply cannot win in a world with zero respect for anything.
😊People don't understand that a truck going 55 mph, can travel the leanght of two football fields before stopping.
Truck moving over 50 on a snow covered highway and passing? Ridiculous!
Why in the hell did the first driver pull to the shoulder, possibly creating more of a hazard. Just let off the throttle.
That's not dramatic enough.
@@pazuzu7119 😂 very true that wouldn't make a good video if he did what I said.
Because sometimes, when a truck driver blows his horn at an idiot for cutting them off… the idiot might respond by brake checking just to make matters even worse.
It seemed to me that I could hear his engine increasing in speed as well prior do the pickup moving into the lane.
0:22 you can see the other guys headlights, the trucker tried to run them off the road
Watching the accident with the snowplow reminded me... the law says don't pass plow on right, or is it left side? My Dad taught me, DONT PASS THE SNOWPLOW PERIOD.
So many of these have the POV big rig carrying high speed into a visibly worsening situation. Yes there are only second involved, but jumping on the brakes sooner and harder would have avoided at least some of these incidents.
4:55 when stop on highway, always look to the mirror! It can save not only your car, but lifes too
0:24 it looks like the truck driver cut across the gore and probably also the "crazy" driver. Total fail on evaluation.
7:20 Hey, at least he stood it back up hahahaah
The one starting at 0:49 is a perfect example of why some people should never be allowed near a vehicle, let alone be able to drive one. @3:12, "trucker may be at fault here", wow, ya think!? He hit that jeep like he was trying to teach it a lesson!
4. That wasn't a for explorer ☝🏻🤓
Re number 8, trees appear to randomly fall in hot weather because they fear drought and suck up too much water, with heavy summer foliage they become too heavy and collapse. We lose more trees here in California due to this in summer than we do to our rainstorms (where mudslides weaken root systems).
No. 23 -
Why dude why?
And den...
After smoking barrier - Why again dude, why?
1:00 I think in spite of your "best effort", you're gonna be late.
*EDIT* I may have gotten the vehicles incorrect In My statement. If the Subaru Forester is the white minivan that spun out, then I change my comments. I was assuming the Subaru Forester was in front of the white minivan that's fun out but after rewatching the video a few times and slowing it down, the Subaru Forester might be the white vehicle that spun out in front of the semi truck.
In video number 4 they have an incorrect description for text on the video. The Subaru Forester that was changing lanes was not in the wrong actually. The white minivan was in the wrong. If you start the video at the 1 minute and 20 second mark, you can see that the white minivan has at least two seconds to notice the signal from the vehicle ahead but since the signal was already going when the video starts, my guess is they had at least three seconds and possibly more.
Also, if you stop the video right at the beginning, you can see that there is more than enough distance between the vehicle in front of the white Minivan and the minivan itself. I would say more than about 8 to 10 car lengths which is easily more than enough time to give the minivan enough distance and time to appropriately adjust and slow down. What was going on is the minivan just wasn't paying attention and was in a hurry I didn't care so they ended up getting what they deserved.
Furthermore, the truck driver is at fault as well because they should have been paying more attention themselves. As soon as that minivan started to swerve, they should have been slowing down but you can see that the truck driver didn't slow down until the minivan was almost completely turned around and by that time the semi truck was only about 100 ft from the minivan which is not even close to enough time to slow down the semi truck given the speed that they were going.
That semi truck driver deserves to get their license taken away or at least suspended for a little bit of time and they should have to go through driving classes themselves. You have to pay attention to what's going on in front of you so you can have enough time to react and in both of these cases, there was more than enough time for both drivers to react appropriately but neither one of them did. The semi truck driver was definitely in the wrong. Had they paid attention, they would not have even gotten hit at all.
This video is proof that road rage solves nothing. It just escalates the situation unnecessarily. Drive kindly, folks.
