Happy Halloween everyone!
And make sure the intersection is clear, Merry Christmas ⛄
*types on this comment saying happy Halloween to you too*
Doesn't see the intersection -
T BONED
I carry a blade a hammer and a chain, come at me fools
Hahah I just got back, I was in Mission and I retreated to Chilliwack, I wanted to go surrey and Vancouver but traffic is crazy and I've got my 40 year old truck and camper, nobody gonna like my slow ass lol
Winter is almost here, which means that the clips are about to increase in insanity by an order of magnitude.
Can't wait for the snow, that's if we get some this year or Jan-Feb.
Body bag season
I ride a motorcycle in Vancouver, and every time I go out riding I have to remind myself to play this game in my head.... Whenever I'm out there I look at every car around me and I think "What is the weirdest thing this person can do to put me at risk?". I then prepare for that. I've seen some crazy shit out there and this mental game has saved my bacon a few times.
Ya I rode a scooter (I uploaded a video a month or so ago) and it's scary riding out there!
while cycling, i almost was beheaded by a guy with a long ladder walking out of an ally way. I've been hit with cars and that ladder was the most scary shit still.
best advice I've ever heard about riding a motorcycle, was just imagine everyone is out to kill you, its not too far from the truth, defensive riding is the only solution, and dress for the slide not the ride... oh and that was when i was riding motorcycles in England.... in Vancouver its not as bad, and hey they say sorry too...
I GAVE UP YEARS AGO ITS OUT OF CONTROL TO MANY IDIOTS OUT THERE THE NEW DRIVERS AN OUT OF IT MANY ARE JUST PLAIN DANGEROUS.
That situation is a good argument for (California legal) splitting lanes. Yeah, watch out for the worst possible lane changes, but you won't get slammed from behind.
Your narration is getting better. The lighthearted kidding is a nice touch.... it matches me shaking my head. lol.
As someone who moved to Vancouver from Russia. At this point, local dashcam vids remind me so much of russian dashcam vids
Although I saw a video yesterday of someone getting shot at while driving... hopefully we don't get to that point haha
honestly is it just me or is there a lot more people running reds regularly now in Vancouver?
Yes.
I see them every day, even they don’t stop on yellow light lol
@@joelkim9530 Yellow light can be run if the car cant stop in time before entering the intersection Running a red is a different story and very dangerous.
Wait a sec…..There’s red lights in Vancouver? 🤔
I can usually tell when it looks like they are not going to stop when I'm waiting to turn left even when the light had turned red. I like to motion like I'm about to turn anyway and watch them screech to a halt in the intersection. I casually complete my turn while they reverse like a moron with opposing traffic staring them down.
i like how even the handi dart at 10:00 just went around the guy
I'm an n driver and I am trying my best to keep my habits that I've learned (the good ones I mean) and one of the best habits I find besides giving myself extra space in between me and the car in front and shoulder checking, is using my head to literally scan the intersection left to right every time I get to one. It is a great habit it keeps you conscious of what is going on in the intersection and I think it would have helped in both of those cases with the left turns.
Whats a great pleasure it is to have our footage featured in your channel. Thanks for the credit! Keep up the awesome work.
Most common street in these clips is Kingsway. Also that one with the buses was crazy.
I'd rather take the bus than drive on Kingsway any further east than Knight St. Probably all the lights that drive people to a different dimension of crazy
So glad my family moved away from the Vancouver area - we've seen some *crazy* stupid stuff down there. Unfortunately, a lot of these people bring their bad driving habits to smaller cities as well, including their desire to drive quickly and impatiently.
Toronto & Montreal are lotta worse IMO
@@AthenaCannon montreal is fucked
i was rear ended in 2019 out on byrne and it was alot like those two whiplash vids, im still unable to work from the accident so those types of accidents definitely mess you up. ps love the vids they're like a mini therapy sesh haha
Both of the left turners (4:14 & 4:32) are at fault. Unless you have a green arrow you may not proceed unless the intersection is clear. In fact even queuing up to turn left on the amber light is technically against the rules even though it's common practice. You may not get a ticket for it, but if you do it on your driver's road test, it's an automatic fail.
I agree because they have to still make sure the intersection is safe before they turn left regardless of whether or not they're in the middle of the intersection and it's turning red and they need to clear they still need to make sure it's safe. And they should have been anticipated that all of the vehicles ahead of them may have not stopped for that red light. When I'm stuck in middle of the intersection, trying to turn left, I still make sure I know that the people ahead of me opposite are going to stop so that it is safe for me to turn left and I still shoulder check for pedestrians also.
good eye
There is always way too much footage around my neighbourhood in the Kensington cedar cottage area...thank god I work mostly from home now 😅
3:22 look before you start crossing if traffic is or will stop not while your already in the road !
Finally someone else sees the crazinesses of some of these drivers. 🇺🇸😎👍
4:40 the turning car is at fault as it failed to yield
Great compilation ✅
Thanks for sharing a great video 📹
Be safe out there 🙏
Thanks for the awesome content!
No thank you for watching lol
4:20
The truck is 100% in the wrong, yes, BUT. Left lane is still supposed to yeild. When the light turns orange, sometimes people treat it like OKAY I HAVE TO GO RIGHT NOW ITS NOW OR NEVER". Which is what leads to problems like this.
What I do is wait until I know for sure noone is planning on running a red light before I turn left at an intersection. Costs nothing but saves everything
You do this and you are honked at here in Vancouver :/ I also do this and pretty frequently there is an impatient driver behind that doesn't understand why it's taking me +1sec to clear the intersection (accordingly to what _they_ think would be correct)
yeah but then you might get stuck in the middle of the intersection and that's how you end up on
Vancouver's Worst Drivers.
You're supposed to go when it's safe, if you go when the intersection is not clear, that's when you are a bad driver. You don't just blindly jump in
@@xavierjunod5967 their is usually some time between your red light and others green. Should be enough to start driving.
Once you are driving it doesn't matter if others have green or not, they have to wait for intersection to clear before proceeding.
Reminds me of the time when I came out of Coquitlam Central Stn and saw this car reversing onto the sidewalk. Then a police car showed up moments later.
I almost got hit by a woman driving out of an alley; she couldn't be bothered slowing down or stopping for the sidewalk, and it's only MY paying attention that avoided me being run over.
oh yeah, i get those two or you are off they and they just roll and turn,
Hi,
Apart from being fun, it's a great learning experience as a new driver. Reminds me of the show Science of Stupid hosted in India.
Btw, any recommendations on the dash cam which do their job. The online reviews are mixed and confusing mostly saying, the dash cams don't record when they are most needed.
Thanks for watching! Ya don't cheap out on a dashcam, my first one I bought was $80 and it was hit or miss with recording too. I check out the link in the description to see Blackboxmycar, and the best brands on their is Thinkware and VIOFO and there are different dashcams at different price points. I recommend if you're looking for something cheaper is the A119 V3. I also have a Nextbase dashcam coming my way soon and I'll be doing a review video for it and I'll have a promo code in the next couple of weeks where you can get money off those models as well. Hope that helps
3:50 richard knew what he was doing lol
9:41 my driving instructor taught me that if you are making a left turn and were prevented from turning by yellow light runners. Move as forward as possible so the vehicles from the right are blocked BY YOU, you can turn once the coming lane has all stopped.
A bit different from that silver car as he/she was going straight, but when I had my N years ago, I was trapped in the middle of an intersection like that because I yield to red-light runners but the cars from the right blocked me from turning left.
4:18 yeah I would have waited, no point in fighting for right of way with a semi trailer.
There's a special place in hell for red light runners....
Omg everyone please protect the motorcycle riders, they are mostly our grandpa's living it up.
I'm from Québec. I don't know about Vancouver, but as far as lines goes in my area, my city did not even bother to paint most of them theses last few years. They only really do the intersections and the crosswalks. Truth be told, it used to take them all summer to paint the lines, and then they would get scraped off the road with the first snow. Somebody at the city figured out that it is one of those line items in the budget that is mostly just wasted money.
Keep up the work the videos are usually funny (rip crashes) because they are so dumb like where are they going and it makes you want to drive more carefully lmfao
4:03 is gonna be a 50/50 responsibility I think. Failed to stop at a red light for the semi. Failed to clear the intersection when safe to do so for that car.
Hmm, it's iffy for me personally but it seems like the semi had enough braking distance to stop, unless it has a really heavy load. I think that car should've been able to see the top of that semi headed towards the intersection with no intention to stop though.
It is always the vehicle impeding the straight flow of traffic. Regardless of the debate of the semis stopping distance it was the responsibility of the person turning to ensure the intersection is clear.
@@farangatang Agree. But the footage shows that the semi driver applied his brakes when the light turned yellow but then proceeded anyway. It took 5 seconds from the time the light turned yellow to the semi hitting the car, that's pretty reasonable for stopping, even for a semi.
@@savannahmavy7064 The car definitely had a responsibility not to go through the intersection, how can you miss a semi not stopping? It'd be nice to see what ICBC ruled. Also keep in mind that ICBC gets sued sometimes because their rulings are wrong!
Here in Ontario, police wound give the left turning car 100% at fault even if there's evidence indicates the light had already turned red when truck passed. Always be the left turning car's responsibility to ensure the safety before proceeding.
I drove in BC quite a lot, most of its fine, but one commonality seems to be that drivers almost seem to want to get into fender benders, they see someone make an illegal turn in front of them and they apply no brakes nor do they attempt to avoid the accident in any way, its almost an attitude of "I don't care if I get into an accident, as long as I'm not permenantly injured/killed and it isn't my fault"... I'm not sure if this is due to how BC's insurance system works or legal system, or what, but yeah definitely a higher prevailance of drivers in BC actively deciding not to avoid a minor collision when someone else is at fault than any of the other 7 provinces I've driven in.
7:28 hit and run you can see the plate and car perfectly. LL178D. 2019 Honda CRV LOL
7:05 that intersection is a nightmare. I've grazed the curb multiple times turning right out of that parking lot where those cars came out of.... glad the save on foods moved lmao
Wow @7:05 For real???? C'mon, man, glad you all have cams over there. It hasn't got that bad yet on the island but, I can see a cam in my future for sure!!!
Get one! I'm also accepting BC wide footage and I'm doing a video in the next few months so you can submit footage once you get one
I have no idea why but seeing a video exactly 12:34 seconds long is very satisfying thing.
9:05 was actually where the ICBC is LOL good job ICBC!
4:20 lol bruh, obviously the car should have waited. And the truck shouldnt have run the red.
The result of not waiting is pretty clear, no? :P
Absolutely. Sometimes trucks brakes fail or even just with driver error, a loaded truck has a terrible stopping distance. Small cars who don't give trucks more respect and space are gonna get crushed.
Truck should at least try to stop. Instead of "watch me run the red light"
Both at fault though.
@@OmerTheGreatOne Oh absolutely truck at fault.
3:59 this guy basically needs to be stripped of his license. ridiculous!
looks like a pakistani driver...they dont really follow the driving rules in pakistan either
When you have that 1 friend who always says "I'll just sit in the trunk" LOL
Seeing how much a cars trunk crumples inwards even during a slow speed rear ender I would never do it.
Prison escapee? Don't pick up hitchhikers near prisons! I remember being amazed that there is a PRISON one mile north of the border near the Sumas border crossing. US Border Patrol needs to run the sniffer dogs past the southbound cars at Sumas!
He refused to wear a mask inside the car so was forced to ride inside the trunk instead.
5:23 the 2 bus accident
I can't imagine the insurance claim on that one.. so so bad..
Good vid tho :)
Good point! Some people only have 1mil liability and this accident could be more than that with injuries! Thanks for watching
Hi, do you have recommendation for a battery that I can purchase so that my dash can get power in parking mode ? And how/where to get this battery gets connected/wires? Any specific shop that won’t mess up wiring in my car ? Thanks and appreciate the suggestion
I'm biased because sponsored by blackboxmycar my car but they have battery pack you can buy (check out the link the description and search battery). I've heard you can do it through a cigarette lighter (don't quote me on that) but it's best to get things hardwired. I have my current dashcam hard wired (without a battery pack) and it's fine. I actually recommend you do that because it'll charge faster.
The battery is called the powercell 8
I swear 2 thirds of these videos are all on kingsway
Metro Vancouver drivers are the worst! And add inclement weather, it makes them even worse! Take yesterday's rain for example! Guy exiting parking lot almost wipes out two cars. They didn't even look before entering the street.
crazy how a lot of these clips are on e 41st ave. i drive there everyday
That whole area is sketchy lol
I come back to this channel whenever I miss my times in Vancouver
Haha these are the best memories?!
@@vancouversworstdrivers hahaha may I say Vancouver drivers are unique in its own way
LMAOOOO that guy in the trunk XDDDD
9:57 I saw that at 41st and fraser but it was a training bus turning
3:35 100% agree. I get a kick out of people who upload videos and say this person did this for no reason and the uploader doesn't include any footage leading up to the situation.
I have the footage leading up to this (over 5 minutes) and there is no indication of anything going on prior
I swear are red lights optional in Vancouver? I've never seen so many people run red lights before. I'm not sure if there's just a lot of people that come from other countries where red lights are optional or if there's something in your water or what but wow.
It’s canadian born European Canadians aswell, i recently saw one hit a girl on the crosswalk. The reason is lack of enforcement
Lol. That left hand turn in Burnaby by the safeway sucks. 1 to 2 cars per light go left. It needs a left turn signal. That pick up driver is nuts though...
Couldn’t help but laugh at 7:00 when the van did the same as the previous car
4:03 Or course that left turning car should have waited! Why get clobbered by an oncoming truck, that's insane!
Why on earth do drivers who are already legally in the intersection, waiting to turn, seem to think they're obligated to leave the moment the light goes to red? There is no law that requires that! The time to exit is when you feel confident that the oncoming traffic is slowing or stopped, and there aren't any late pedestrians in your path.
And by the way, regarding traffic on the cross street who now have a green? There's no law that allows them to hit the gas and T-bone you, and after 50 years behind the wheel I can tell you I've never seen it happen.
Bad decisions by drivers turning left without a 'protected' phase (ie green arrow) are one of the most serious crash issues in BC.
7:25 My analysis of this stupid crunch? I would guess that the driver of the white SUV, preparing to reverse into a parking stall, was paying too much attention to his mirrors as he set up for the turn. And meanwhile, that big A-pillar partially blocked his view of the bumper of the car ahead until he bumped into it. This can be a real issue in modern vehicles with a zillion airbags ...
Amanda’s video is at the intersection of cedar st and Lougheed hwy in mission people pull that bull crap all the time there turning right from the dedicated lane to go into that complex with the bank.
In the 2-bus crash at 5:25, it looks to me like the lights aren't functioning properly. They are stuck on amber with green in the other direction.
7:09 I would pull up to their pumper and make them reverse and go back into their lane.
4:06 The semi is clearly at fault. Unless your vehicle is already engaged in the intersection, you should always make every attempt to stop on a yellow light. If he was fully loaded, he probably should have been driving slower to ensure that he did have enough distance to stop. Driving defensively is one of the most important thing a driver can do.
I tell you what I think if you do NOT have the green arrow or light, you have NO right of way. PERIOD. That is why I am actually happy I can no longer drive, these people expect everyone else to give way to them when they are breaking the law. The tractor trailer had no right to run the red light, the white SUV had no right to continue making a left turn in front of oncoming traffic...
Have to speak on road rage as well, these people get bent out of shape when they are involved in an accident or when other drivers call them on thier mistakes & they start acting like children having a temper tantrum. They need to grow up!
OK I will get off of my soap box now. 🤣
yes i have seen a lot of drivers that need their license taken away. one of the best reasons not to live in Vancouver any more.
Props to the guy crossing at 2:29
It feels like half of these clips in the vid are on W 41st street, but I’m not surprised tho 🙃
So many scary things that can happen just minding my own business & driving carefully - like being crushed by a truck container! 😨
I thought you would like that one
ICBC will probably rule that the car is at fault if they dont take into consideration the evidence of running the red. In a lot of cases I hear about they say it is the one changing directions that is usually at fault.
Ya I heard that too but I wonder if dashcam footage would change that. Thanks for watching
@@vancouversworstdrivers In many jurisdictions, it is the responsibility of the turning vehicle to ensure that the path is clear before making a movement. As one officer said at my friend's collision, even if the person going straight through is running a red light, the left turner is still at fault.
9:27 is a tough one. You can see the green truck is stopped and peering into the far lane and the left 2 lanes stop before the intersection to make room for him. Like technically the dash cam driver has the right of way, but that was a tough spot for that pick up. In the clip; you can see that the pick up was stopped before going through the last lane.
7:14 I was walking to school and witnessed that one!
2:22 - nothing like a good old fashioned trunk ride
With the car and the semi, you can see the semi trying to brake, but he probably thought “There’s no way I can brake in time, I’ll probably be in the middle of the intersection…” so he had to proceed, but the car should have definitely checked to see if there was any oncoming traffic and if it was safe to proceed.
Some people pointed out it looks like that initial brake should have happened earlier so he may not have been paying attention
@@vancouversworstdrivers yeah, that’s true too!
I have a class 1 and I think the Truck driver should have been paying closer attention to a stale green. I have had instances where I was driving a big-rig you start to break and realize you don't have enough space so you go through the light. But I think the tractor trailer drivers out here in BC are terrible and I often see them going way past the speed limit in the fast lane, while also going down hill. Receipe for diaster!
thats why Im afraid to leave my car in the parking lot
4:15. The semi was wrong for going through a red light, but the car was stupid for just assuming it would. Never assume - don't go until you know.
8:21 that I have to agree because I’m fan of Tesla and getting one. Soon like that model y but there some people suck at driving with a Tesla some lady darted out between two cars in the parking lot best thing Is it wasn’t too much busy or crowded
@5:29 Poor caravan, sandwiched between the two busses. Jeesh, that's just painful to watch.
Probably painful to be in lol
At least it hurt the red light runner the most. Hopefully that person learns from it.
Torn between two busses, because a driver was a fool.
I've been driving for over 20 years and I have never seen more people running red lights than I do in recent years. I thought it was a criminal offense. It should be a one year suspension for the first time and a lifetime ban the second time. Driving is not your damn right!!!
at 8:17 the tesla is probably on auto pilot
All traffic fines should be a percentage of the person's yearly income, running a red light should be 20% driving on the wrong side of the road 50%. People would soon drive safer if they could lose their home, car or not be able to pay their rent and bills. There should not be a single death or injury on the road because there is no such thing as an accident, someone is always at fault.
Trick for getting your driver's license in the lower mainland is just knowing which driving evaluator to take your test with. Wink wink
Fun fact: Red Lights are "suggestions" in Vancouver.
so are stop signs, white lines, double yellow, no right turn on red, etc. Basically like driving in Vietnam at this point.
I really don't miss living in the Vancouver area.
4:21, that's a FAST yellow. If he's fully loaded, he can't stop in time safely. Car should have waited; read traffic.
The worst about the 2 videos at 10:10, which wasn't even mentioned: Driving over the solid white lines! This is my biggest pet peeve. Interesections are dangerous as it is. Changing lanes is not permitted in the intersection... and with the solid white lines, normally, it isn't permitted prior to or immediately after the intersection either. Lane selection should be made well ahead of time.
We went from drivers driving with headlights off pre-pandemic to red light jumpers. WTF Vancouver?
Try living in Richmond...
@@lynneufeld3175 it's on my fuck-it list!
people dont know how to keep the intersections clear,
4:40 the grey car also began turning after the turn signal was done (at least from this angle)
If they're already in the middle of the intersection waiting to turn left they need to clear it otherwise they would be stuck there. But they first need to wait for the intersection to be clear before turning left. The turning car is at fault here.
The gray car wasn't even in the intersection when the light change green for the with SUV. The gray car is 100% at fault
The driver shouldn't have gone into intersection at 9:45 (who knows, the driver might have misjudged) but as he entered prior to red, that car has right of way over ALL other vehicles that haven't entered the intersection yet, specifically all those vehicles that are just entering into the intersection from screen's right.
s.127 (1)(a)(iii) RSBC c.318:
127 1)When a green light alone is exhibited at an intersection by a traffic control signal,(a)the driver of a vehicle facing the green light, (iii)must yield the right of way to vehicles lawfully in the intersection at the time the green light became exhibited.
I think that if they actually used concrete for road lane controls in BC (instead of merely painting them on) like they do in other parts of the country, then it would make it more difficult for BC drivers to be so shitty. (That is, concrete structures would destroy their axles so, doing the stupid thing might be less enticing!....or maybe not; BC drivers can be quite douchey/stupid).
I think yes, white suv could have stopped. But rainy night, farside lane, when the black suv in next lane pulled ahead first. I think they just weren't on the ball enough that night. But I don't think it's their fault.
5:27 if there was a passenger in that white truck they have to be dead right
Nah
1:25 - it’s called “karma”, for driving in the passing lane without passing anyone.
ICBC will always blame the person making the left turn pretty well regardless if another car or as in the Semi in the time clip of 4:20 ish runs a red light.
2:36 accidents are generally not avoidable. People use the word accident incorrectly when they should be using the words like collision or crash.
I work infront of the place at the 12 min mark. Always crashes
At 4:10 that truck should have pumped the brakes, it’s a stale green light, it will go yellow soon as it DID! I see this happening all the time as a truck driver.
3\4 of the new drivers in the lower mainland need to be re tested there’s no way in hell they have passed an ICBC Road test
4:34 is basically insurance fraud. Not sure if it is 50/50 fault for driversbin BC nowadays. Idk. He clearly sped up to cause the accident to happen. It was 100% avoidable. However, the person turning left had no right to.
For myself, it should be 50/50. If it's the law, it's the person turning left's fault. Thought, not sure if that is the law nowadays...
doesn't matter, stupid ICBC rule is that anyone going straight has the right of way, even if the driver is going through a red light, if the party is turning, they're at fault, that happened to my friend before.
Interesting. I keep thinking that British Columbia rules of the road are similar enough to Washington's that it should not be too much of an adjustment. In Washington, a green left turn arrow indicates that the opposite on coming traffic has the red and is not allowed to enter the intersection. Still have to yield to those lawfully within the intersection. Our insurance companies and civil law practice will not allow red light runners to escape liability for crashing into left turners. I am now wondering if BC has the same courtesy for the green left turn arrow?
It's just common sense you can't rely on fucking street lights sometimes you have to look around everywhere
@233, i see it all the time, so annoying, drivers have no patience, think on how many would fail their drivers tests on that.
That white truck that crashed into the bus which caused the chain reaction should be responsible for every claim involved
That car that hit the semi should of waited because if your inside the intersection when the light goes red it’s not illegal to clear the intersection it’s more illegal to back up or block the intersection by not going
Pick up truck is an undercover vehicle. Cruiser behind was back up with siren off.
Hmm interesting perspective!
