So true, it's insane how oblivious some of these drivers are

Phone use combined with bad driving skills.

careful you know defensive driving is condemned by most viewers of this page!

A lot of people seem flat out oblivious. Scary stuff

100%. seems like people just deliberately drive into accidents. e.g. 5:34 how can you just drive into that car when you know exactly what they are doing, totally avoidable. is it worth the hassle of an insurance claim just to right? 12.22 reaction time of an effing sloth,

I can't help but notice that most of these accidents are deliberate but also avoidable. By that I mean that the webcam footage shows that the owner has spotted the transgression of the law, knows there is going to be an impact and proceeds ahead and then acts (a) surprised and (b) offended.

Phone usage bro big issue

"Impatient, distracted, carelessly speeding" all fall under the last part of that list -- they're all caused because people are fucking morons.

It would be nice if causing an accident resulted in an automatic licence suspension and mandatory successful completion of advanced driver training to have it restored.

I am living in Australia, however I am an European from EU country and I have to say that Australians generally do not have good driving skills and most of them are buying big car or a German one, but they can't drive them. Generally there are not skills in Australia, not only driving one, but also in many other fields or areas is a lack of education and skills. Therefore I sent my both kids study to Europe even they were born in Australia!

wondering if the car was just purchased, or serviced or just taking the car out for a test spin before buying.

Pretty much what Dad said when is kids started driving. Also had a friend of the family say to me (long before I was driving age) that as a driver, you’re in charge of a tonne plus of lethal weapon. Treat it with that level of respect. Both really made an impression on me.

No good in being over cautious either

They weren't speeding, they were accelerating because the light turned green. It's definitely the pick up driver that's at fault, but the worst time for the person in front of you to slam on their brakes is when everyone is accelerating at a green light from a dead stop. Everyone tends to be very close because they were stopped a few moments earlier and no one is expecting a sudden stop. He's made because the stupid truck that cut off the person in front of him caused an accident that he will rightly, but unfortunately, be blamed for.

@Bercilak de hautdesert If everyone followed your rules to the letter, 2 cars would get through every light that had an advanced left turn. One person would accelerate, the person behind would wait two seconds then begin to accelerate and immediately find that because they waited so long they're suddenly 5 seconds behind etc. - it would be a nightmare of traffic jams. You'd probably be laying on your horn if you were 3 cars back and everyone played that game! He WAS going too fast - looked like a guy that didn't notice the light changed and was racing to catch the guy in front and make sure he didn't miss the light when all this took place. He's at fault, but I understand why and what happened and know it would happen to many/most people in the same situation. No one leaves 2 seconds when accelerating through an advanced green situation except people that don't care about anyone else on the road.

Defensive driving always, sadly.

At the start of my first lesson, 36 years ago, my instructor asked me what was the first rule of the road. The answer he was looking for was "Drive on the left" - my answer was "Assume everyone else is out to get you." My answer has stood me in good stead ever since.

Garbage truck? what garbage truck?!

All garbage trucks should be painted Florissant pink and accompanied by a bloke on foot ringing a bell and cat's neck and a lantern and a door bell at the front and rear, of said truck, also their proposed rout should be advertised in all national newspapers at least a year in advance, to warn folks so that they might avoid running up the arse of the aforementioned garbage truck.

Totally agree

Wouldn't be surprised if blue car's insurance had to pay out. There clearly wasn't really a gap and the blue car drove into it as the gap narrowed more. The grey car shouldn't have been doing what they were, but the blue car was equally if not more reckless

@@goodguykonrad3701 Diver of the Grey car is the one doing the lane change.Onus is on them to complete the manoeuvre without moving into the path of a vehicle (the blue car) already in that lane. That they were lucky not to hit the first car demonstrates they were not driving safely. Then for the driver of the grey car to continue to push the issue after nearly having a crash makes them the fuckwit who will be paying for the damage to the blue car.

@@markboscawen8330 blue car helped cause the accident tho. Saw what was happening but chose to keep going regardless because they were only thinking of themselves.

@@sorntrash Look again. Grey car attempted to move into the lane on their right. Stopped to avoid a collision with car in front of Blue vehicle. Now stopped Grey car has not entered the lane so Blue car starts to drive forward - it is ‘their’ lane after all. Then Grey car moves into the path of the Blue car. As the Grey car is doing a lane change without giving way to vehicles already in that lane, driver Grey is 100% at fault. So many drivers, having done the wrong thing & causing traffic around them to stop to avoid a collision, then continue on as if everyone is giving them a free pass to continue being the arsehole. In this case, the only ‘crime’ of the blue car driver was to assume that having nearly caused a crash the Grey driver wouldn’t be so stupid as try it on again.

I've been wanting to do like this, but a language analysis. My working hypothesis is it's

While I agree what does the car think it's doing? How does it think it can possibly overtake a truck in half a lane? Never argue with a truck.

Maybe you're right, but possibly the road splits further ahead and he needs the right, we don't know. Speaking as a truckie, you get right as early as possible in that case. At the end of the day, if a long vehicle is merging and you're behind the back tyre of that vehicle you can always ease off and overtake later - it takes some real ego and stupidity to think you can use your little 4WD to push a semi trailer around on the road. Either way the car driver is a moron who almost got himself killed. The truckie could've been safer, but I honestly don't blame him.

Maybe you're right, but possibly the road splits further ahead and he needs the right, we don't know. Speaking as a truckie, you get right as early as soon as you can in that case, you don't want to be trying to squeeze in at the last second, relying on cars to get out of the way.

​@@richard3076it was green light, prolly didn't want to miss it

100% Agred. Have been watching DCOA for at least 5 yrs now. :)

I actually agree with this. Especially now that the hazard perception test is mandatory on your L's. After watching enough of these I've definitely learnt to check intersections, either at lights, or just stop or give way signed ones. It is surprising just how many people have crashes in back streets because of this.

The hazard perception test already provides a (rather basic) simulation of potential dangerous situations which applicants have to react to. All driving related tests, both practical and theory are done before someone gets their P1 license

Absolutely

That still won’t help if people still get to learn from parents and uncles. Mandatory, standardised driver school and training will solve all this.

So don't drive a motorcycle.

And make sure you have dashcam

Even Qps (Qld Police Service) cars get involved in crashes!!! 15:19 shocking!!! It just goes to show that it's really not that safe to drive with all these idiotic dumbass drivers driving honestly the Government should have in place to start driving at the age of 14 like no wonder why so many people DIE or get seriously HURT!!!

This kind of accident seems the dumbest to me.. they have absolutely no vision of the lane they’re moving into.. quite likely to cop a car at 60kph to the drivers or passenger door.. so stupid..

I purposely don't leave a space for that reason. They may abuse me, but I'm saving them an accident so whatever 😂

or, plan a route with the fewest right turns!

Meanwhile everyone is panicking about "covid" I think our roads are more of a concern

And thousands of dollars in damage costs.

honestly the truck that did the insane lane change should be liable. it doing that BS was the primary factor yet it just drives away without even the slightest care that it cutting into traffic just caused an accident. The white car wouldnt have been required to go to zero instantly, the ute wouldnt have had to also go to zero. impatient truck makes dangerous move causes it all and basically flees the scene

@@kineticdeath they were both in the wrong but in the end the ute driver will pay because he was tailgating and not paying attention.

@@dgphi trucks have right of way in china according to my father... when he was there checking out factories his car kept pulling over on this little road to let trucks race past and he was told they dont stop if small cars are in the way lol

There is no right of way in Australia. You're supposed to give way. There is a difference.

There were at least half a dozen of these, where you could clearly see the guy in front was doing something stupid, and the driver decided to just keep going and find out what happened. Seriously self-inflicted damages even if the other person's insurance will cover it - it's still going to be a pain.

It looks like it's a single green without a right-turn light so the dashcam driver is at fault anyway.

@@slickrickulous yea it's surprising how noones talking about this lol. It's a single round green light, no arrow, meaning the other driver also has a green light and you can turn when safe, but must give way to oncoming traffic

I see this all the time in the motorcycle community. Riders love to reach for the horn or rev the bike before hitting the brakes. It's the I have right of way mentality.

Idiot. Was my first reaction, especially with what sounds like wife and young kid in the car

Probably a woman driver. Can't beep horn and apply brakes at same time, too much thinking.

My friends have commented I almost never use the horn. That's cos I'd rather focus on using the brakes and avoiding the accident. The horn does nothing. Even when motorcycle riding my mate was like "You almost never use the horn? You're not really riding!" wtf, bruh, horn aint going to save my life.

What about 8:40?

I don't think that was the issue, the traffic was pretty backed up, and did you see those lights. I don't think anyone was at fault there, I think the driver simply couldn't see anything from the uphill and all the lights in his face. or, the driver had his phone out, that works as well.
