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.

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…

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

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 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 KZfaq 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. 😁

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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

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.*

Haha wish I had a DC for when Rasputin was pumping and someone almost killed me while driving.

"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

and all avoidable by taking surroundings into account

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.

People test trucks in these compilations they’re probably willing to test a tank

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! :)

6:55 I know what you mean

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.

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!

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.

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!

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

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...

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

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.

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."

I think its just a compartment mate. Not a secret stash in the dash 😂

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.

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.

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.
