The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Cam" Thread Vol II

[SpeedMattersNot]

The most impressive thing about all of these clips, is that I've never been featured.

A few dodgy annotations on that video:

10:40 "That was ridiculously close"... Whilst I appreciate that this would never have been an issue had the Audi driver not gone full-retard and attempted a two car overtake on a short straight before an unsighted corner, in the 3 seconds that Auditard was visible to the driver of the cam-car, the cam-car driver made no attempt to mitigate the stupidity of the Audi driver. The fact that the cam-car is clearly pressing-on round that corner, and doesn't have a clear sightline across the corner means he should have been extra-vigilant as he rounded that corner. Could have been a downed biker lying in the road (it happens - I knew a chap who came over a hump-back bridge and found a drunk lying in the road on the other side... stopped with inches to spare).

Agreed. Does he even brake at all?

If he showed the clip to the police, I would hope that he would face a hefty fine and some points for making sure that the incident was dangerous when it did not need to be.

He's the kind of driver that will plough on regardless, get involved in an accident that might kill or seriously injure someone and then say 'Not my fault. Why should I brake?'

Why do so many Russians on the right hand lane of a dc turn left across the traffic?

I asked an Italian colleague who was giving me a lift/trying to kill me in Rome why he had just done it. His puzzled response... "there was a queue, and I don't want to wait".
Logical, yet so illogical!

2:53 - That has happened to her SO many times in her life that it's not even a shock any more.

She did have that "not again" look about her

To be fair, quite a few of the folk on that vid didn't appear as surprised as you might expect their expressions to suggest, I wonder if it's just down to processing the incident as it happens

Good indication of how much of a distraction mobile phones are

That's what happens when you put the new tyres on the front!

Not sure if to post this, its not a nice one, but I have found these dashcam videos always make me analyse my own driving and things to spot with others.

Not watched it all, but the cyclist getting run over by the Skip lorry shows how dangerous to bikes trucks can be.

hum.

You mean how dangerous cyclists can be to themselves. In that particular clip, the cyclist attempts to turn left right in front of the truck.

I got fed up with the "impending doom" music so ended it just after the bicycle one; pretty grim though, it went right over the cyclists thigh.

So a truck either fails to notice a cyclist stopped waiting to turn and ploughs into the back of them, or does see them, decides to overtake at a junction and hits them, and you're saying it's the cyclist that's a danger?

Cyclist wasn't waiting anywhere, they were moving fowards, the truck pulls out to overtake them, and at that moment the cyclist decides to turn left without even looking.

Well, you can't see what she's doing as the truck blocks our view, but anyway what you've said is the second scenario I mentioned.

Truck sees her, overtakes at the junction, hits her. Trucks fault.
