Yeah if the car next to you doesn't immediately pull away on a green light get suspicious they've spotted something you haven't.

I think we tried telling people that. :) Next suggestion: Replace crossings with roundabouts.

Green means if the intersection is clear, go. Too many people seem to think green means go.

@@SweetTorment72 Roundabouts are Europe's curse to the driving world.

@@SweetTorment72 I would be 100% on board with that.

Idk. Most lights have a two second pause between one direction turning red and the other turning green, and people still blast through the wrong way 2-3 seconds after the green light, which is 4-5 seconds for them after the red. When the light turns green and you look to left and see a car a bit away, you won't be expecting it to act like the light is green for him.

@st4rgrl. My guess is this. He has a wool hat on that he looks like is pulled a tad over his ears, which already masks a lot of noise, and there isn't much noise to make when you're skidding through snow covered grass (I live in Minnesota, and I can assure you it is significantly quieter than screeching tires on pavement, especially if the snow is powdery). They're also next to the highway when a couple semi trucks are going by, so the sound of the sliding truck was probably masked by the semis until it got too close. There's no audio to go off of, so I couldn't say for sure why he didn't hear it right away, but that's my take

It’s called lack of survival skills. He should’ve never been in harm’s way in this scenario

Thought the same thing. Regardless if i have a green light, i always do a quick take to see if there are idiots coming.

And in case of inminent danger, honk your way to the crash.

lmfao no doubt

Or using the force or something

looks like he could be pulling over to the shoulder at the end as he's switching lanes. It takes a while to slow a truck like that down and you wan't to watch for traffic (even though he wasn't before as he caused the accident). In any case, he's on camera and was definitely caught if he drove off. Edit: watching it over, it’s really an absurd accident. He must have been completely exhausted, drunk, or just made an exceptionally poor driving which is very uncharacteristic of a person who drives for a living. Or maybe he did it on purpose. Who knows

He just kept on going he didn’t even stop

He just run away.

It 's saying he's the idiot

no way out if something bad like this happens

Yup, I'm always very careful around semi trucks because even when they are good drivers, they have limited reaction time due to their weight and maneuverability. Also, if you can't see the truck's mirrors, he can't see you. They have gigantic blind spots and people don't get that.

I am 'SO' with you on your comment! Let the AH go ahead and have an accident with someone else where possible!

In all fairness, those drivers are usually very skilled, this was just so unlucky and coincidental that right as they went between 2 big trucks there was some idiot on the right forcing the truck into everyone.

@ The Sethioz Project If you watch closely, the car in front of the semi also crashed. So the semi ether tried to maneuver to avoid crashing or crashed into that car witch turned it into car and bus.

I try to keep a 3 second distance but, people just fill it in because it is a space

@@aaa7189 and even still after the accident they keep depressing the accelerator !

Poor situational awareness. They don't have their full attention on the road, and/or they are not mentally predicting future possible consequences of existing traffic patterns. My husband is terrible at the latter.

Neither do attorneys. Negligence is what they call it.

They do use the word 'accident'. It means: "an unforeseen and unplanned event or circumstances; or an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance". An unplanned car collision is an accident, even if one party is to blame.

We call it “a loss”.

Fr I really hope the person that caught it on dash cam gave it to the police at the scene

The worse part is insurance will likely say the driver that swerved is at fault since his swerving is what caused the collision even tho he swerved to avoid the jackass

Agree did he caused the accident? YES but it was the driver's fault to steer into another lane so he responsible for the damage. Never steer into other lanes. Break as hard as you can or crash into that car. Never steer onto other lane

He didn't cause the accident. The car behind him wasn't paying attention in front of him and was speeding and saw him last second and swerved straight into oncoming traffic on the other side.

@@MidnightPodcast he definitely did. No matter how you could try to turn this, person in white car SHOULD have been give a way to everybody driving down the road simply by road laws.

I watched it again and again for the same reason, I don't think he came out of the car and still he wasn't there before the car stopped after the crash.

Good catch. Yeah, it seems to come out of nowhere. If I had to guess, I think it was behind the tress/bushes on the near corner, and it happened to walk out at the same time the accident was happening, so the view was obstructed by the cars.

Im pretty sure I saw it get thrown out of the back window but its really hard to see. Also I think it's a small dog

yea to me it seems like a dog jumping out of the window of the car

It's a dog in the car and was like, "you crazy, i'm outta here!"

i'm poor at judging distances so i plan my routes accordingly and just play it cautious, particularly when there's no one behind me. i've definitely been improving over the years.

@@Spartan0430 I'm happy to hear that. Practice makes perfect. Drive safe.

Anticipate the road and the curve ahead so that you can adjust your speed accordingly. Simple rules but vitally important. This video shows far too many people have zero spatial awareness or they are too distracted to care.

💀

Totally! Even as a learner I used to look around the intersection before proceeding, and my instructor would yell at me: “You’ve got a green light, why are you yielding to red?” :))))

I usually count a slow 3 before going myself. Some folks are color blind to red 😅

I have never driven in America but the design of the junctions, turning lanes, positioning of traffic lights, priorities, signage etc looks like it might the cause of some of the accidents.

Ten years ago a car ran a red light and almost hit me in the crosswalk (I was on foot). Unfortunately an elderly woman got hit by the car and almost died.

yup green doesn't always mean go!

Yes, I think there's even a name for it, where you're sort of hypnotically drawn to the truck/pole/whatever instead of avoiding it. And then of course some people are just jackasses, LOL.

They should bee at fault too

I saw that too. That driver was on his/her game and unfortunately couldn't avoid getting hit by a careless driver.

Extremely worrying how American drivers think thats "really aware" any driver should be that aware. And most would be in Europe or the UK, but then we have proper driving lessons sooooo

@@kj4ilk I do often think about that: do you aim for the gap that is being created, without certainty that the gap will widen enough for you to get into it, or do you steer away to afford the other driver room to respond?

@@kj4ilk I just commented the same thing. When you see someone sitting at a 90 degree angle almost to the road, chances are they don’t want to go straight ahead. I work as a pilot/escort and it blows my mind how stupid some people are. Just last night, lead pilot turned left onto a road, the truck was cleared to come through, I followed him, and the lights changed shortly after. So rather than waiting literally 30 seconds for us to clear the intersection, a moron floors his BMW suv, jams on his brakes and blasts his horn at us. Ok, and? You can see us, we all have big flashing lights, it’s obvious where we are going, so you can either go into lane 3, wait until we are clear and go behind us, or act like a moron and try and drive through a 40 tonne load and still wait until we’re clear.

I instantly recognized this road in this clip, as I went to school there in College Station. I lived in the neighborhood to the immediate left (you can kind of see the drive in to the left) for four years and this would happen at least once a week. There was a light further up the road and people would drive all the way up the double turn lane to pass traffic if they were eventually going to be turning left at the light. It was deadly (I think you can also see the two crosses in the top left corner in the field - one is white, one is maroon). I do not miss this road!!

This kind of turning lane is fucked to begin with. You will always have dumb drivers but if you have well designed intersections then you can limit the possible mistakes. This type of situation simply does not exist where I live and even unprotected lefts are uncommon.

sucks to be u i guess.

Things that stand out to me in videos like this: 1) do not drive in someone else's blind spot, and do not let someone drive in yours, 2) don't cross over lanes when you can't see oncoming traffic, 3) if someone else reacts, you should assume they see something you don't, and slow or stop until you can see what's going on, 4) don't tailgate. I drive professionally, and I have avoided many accidents by simply assuming that people will do the dumbest possible thing in all situations. Sometimes I am right, and I react without hesitation because I have mentally reviewed what I would do in such a situation.
