Have a great long weekend everyone!
You too!!
Drive safe
no joke about the roundabouts I know someone who was T-boned in one a couple years ago. Car got written off.
That guy who took his license plate off was the most shocking part of the video for me. I hope he got pulled over by cops for having no plates.
Do not worry,
He put back that license plate as soon as he run away from camera. That was the main reason why he was backing up, and that is why he does not have front license plate because he is doing that shit on the road a lot.
hope the cammer followed him until the cops caught up to him
Must happen to him a lot, who else can take their plate off that fast?
@@Combatpzman exactly, how is he taking it off so fast?
@@trollashnikovavtomat Might be held on with zap straps?
2:01 i am gonna signal and not to yield is a classic move everywhere in Canada. In Calgary I had a Karen honking and yelling at me for not letting her getting in front of me. At a traffic stop, she rolls down window and yelled “you cut me off again, I will hit you with my car!” I was like “how am I cutting you off when I am driving in my own lane? Mandam?”
You tried to tell her, but her "Karen logic" wouldn't accept!! Self-entitlement is such for Karens!!
I'll usually let people in if they signal early enough, just keeps traffic moving. But when they get 6 inches in front of you, blink twice and then just go for it, that's when I seriously consider how to get away with vehicular manslaughter.
Too bad dash cams weren’t really a thing when my grandma was still driving, she would have been a regular on this channel. We considered nominating her for that show Canada worst driver.
So cool seeing locations I normally drive by. Now I know to be more careful in those areas
I know right! I recognize so many of these locations.
fun fact. EVO doesn't require a drivers license to sign up.
they also account for 40% of the daily car accidents.
And they don't clean them between drivers.
I believe it. Some of the worst drivers drive those.
FIRST thing I taught my kid when he got his “L” - never trust another driver, especially Evo/Modo drivers.
Those "Cross Here When Safe" signs are for the cyclists and pedestrians...they have to wait for an opening to cross, not the other way around when that sign is present at the crossing.
I feel like then they should get rid of the striped lines on the road so cars don't feel like they have to stop ya know?
@@vancouversworstdrivers agreed, those signs do get a lot more prevalent once you escape the lower mainland where cyclists share the highways with motorized traffic. At most exit/entrance ramps to the highway there's those "Cross Here When Safe" signs to direct cyclists to just make a quick B-line instead of trying to say...ride down the exit or entrance/merge lanes. That said Cyclists are banned from highway 1 from I think Chilliwack to West Van..that's suicidal!
The problem is that it's a crosswalk. That means cars have to stop when there's someone wanting to cross.
It's an odd situation. Cars need to stop for pedestrians, because it is a crosswalk. However, if a cyclist arrives while riding their bike... the cyclist needs to yield. Unless they dismount and thereby become a pedestrian.
"The cross here when safe" sign is there because crosswalks arent usually for cyclists and they arent usually on highways, it's a caveat theyre implementing by simply adding the sign, like they do with so many other things, no turn right on red signs etc, creating an exception for a reason. Crosswalks are not for cyclists theyre are for pedestrians; it's literally called a pedestrian crosswalk in the book. Cyclists must abide by the same rules as vehicles, that's why theyre so annoying. I wish they would just let them ride on sidewalks like we did when we were kids, to get them off the road but they have to be on the road because theyre vehicles - that's why it's still illegal to drink and cycle, you can be cited for it.
When someone encounters any obstruction, they feel they are entitled to cross the median line
I know!! I keep seeing this all the time now !
03:02 shoulder checked....or not made a right hand turn from the middle lane
CAMMER is SOOO stoned. Driving WAY too Fast & in a BUS ONLY Priority Lane; Passing on the right; and not the slightest bit aware of the others around them. RUMAN = Unskilled, probably needs to go back to his "L" Status, just like most of the crashers in Vancouver. His/Her rates are seriously going to go up with I.C.B.C
@@cwestie2430 actually the bus lane isnt in effect at the time
Thanks for posting my husband Justin's video! We love watching your channel :)
LMAOOAO the way the shopping cart dude was running 😭 when u called him road kill, i lost it- that was so evil 😭😭
Who else has to deal with these bad drivers in Vancouver bc I have too all the time lol
It's an every day event. I get cut off all the time. I'm amazed that some of these people can get dressed in the morning let alone drive...
The porsche driver shows u can be successful with a 5 IQ. I think it would be awesome to be reminded of that everyday lol
Don’t forget to blame city hall! They remove lanes and parking while adding cars
I’m a purolator driver on the west side of vancouver and ubc and I could fill an entire Segement from my daily drive. The worst drives have become Uber and Lyft drivers. They have taken all of taxi drivers bad habits and made them worse. U turns everywhere, always on their phone. Stopping in the middle of the road to do their delivery even though there’s 3 car lengths of space to pull over. Vancouver legit has the worst drivers I have ever encountered anywhere in the world
Just got my N this past Tuesday, and I can tell you it was a nightmare just praying I get good luck during my road test with all these bad drivers. BC still has the lowest passing rate for the Class 7 road test at about 55%, and the amount of practice and preparation I had to do leading up to it just screams how good of a job you have to do now to pass. (Mind you I've had my L for the past 3 years, and I've seen a ton of situations like these on a daily.)
There seem to be a lot of people who have international drivers licences here. I’m not sure how long they can use them, but that is an issue. That and the second people pass the drivers test the attitude seems to be, *$)k what they made be do for the test, nobody drives like that, free for all! I actually get shocked now when I see someone stop at a stop sign.
@@Combatpzman porting over international licenses needs to stop. Anyone living here from outside of North America needs to be re-tested and get a proper BC license. The horrid driving in these parts especially ( Surrey ) is out of control. My guess as to why this continues, while kids are sweating getting their real license like the OP, is ICBC fears being called on discrimination.
@@jacktravis8496 It's one of those things that may be beyond ICBC I think. My understanding is that international drivers licenses are under national law and international agreements. Never really looked into it myself, so I don't know for sure.
@@Combatpzman In Bby, the cops don't stop at stop signs.
@@jacktravis8496 You are making a mistake in assuming that people from North America shouldn't be retested too. There are plenty of people who don't belong on the road here as well.
LOL I just happen to stumble upon this channel and when I read 'vancouver's worst drivers'.... I just had to laugh
I hate traffic circles, want to see some really good accidents?
The traffic Circle just before Abbotsford Automall.
Two lanes of traffic and 50% of people don't have a clue who has right away.
I definitely think bike should’ve yielded there but it was the red car who gave way for them. Hard for trucks that heavy to account for that when it’s an arterial road.
Yeah the red car is the classic “oh I’ll be nice and stop moving traffic to let them cross the street”.
@@Liefpj There's a highway crossing where I live in Toronto. As a driver, you never need to think about it except for the cars getting off the highway trying to merge with you. Once I had to walk that road and realized how almost impossible it was to check for all traffic before crossing because 1) you couldn't see far enough of traffic coming off the highway and 2) they are moving so fast by the time you step off the curb, there could be a car zipping by eventhough it seemed clear when you checked.
So the red car that stopped was not only an annoyance to motorists behind him, he was looking out for the cyclist's safety by stopping traffic.
@@georgeemil3618 what’s the address? I love google mapping. yeah here in Winnipeg there’s a crosswalk right after a bridge of cars going 60-70 have to stop harshly to let people cross. Look it up it is near 79 Smith St and the other is 52 Donald St(not as bad but…)
dude, re: closed side of road obvious : you should see the sign on the No Frills on Broadway at Alberta, 'Business Still Open" or some crazy nonsense like that while the street is dug up massive wooden things all around in the pits around the stores, hilarious what we get out here on occasion.
We should be able to send in clips to police for idiots / dangerous drivers.. and we get 20% of their fines.. lol
Who ever was driving the blue Porsche should of back in like parallel parking if you up for the challenge
I had a ticket for not letting a driver on my right merge I maintained my speed and they merged right into me doing damage to the passenger side. I got a ticket from the RCMP, through ICBC for diving with out consideration. If someone is merging you apparently have to let them in or you will get a ticket.
Interesting. In Washington, there is no RCW 46.61 provision that specifically addresses this issue. You have the right of way if you are already on the freeway cruising the freeway speed or at least with the flow of traffic. If you are on a ramp entering the freeway, you have the responsibility to find a spot in the traffic to merge. If a vehicle is not yielding for you, then you try to get in behind him. Our speed laws do have some fuzzy language about the "maximum safe speed", RCW 46.61.400(1), which is sometimes less than the number on the big white signs, and that can be interpreted to being unreasonable in allowing a merger on to the freeway. Your maximum safe speed was a little lower as that would allow a safe merger and not a crash. "Speed shall be so controlled as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle, or other conveyance" so keep your brakes and accelerator controls in good repair! If a merging vehicle cannot get behind the vehicle in front of you, then you are following too closely, RCW 46.61.145(1). The moral hazard that comes with disk brakes with anti-locking systems is that people follow too closely at 60 mph! Making it hard to merge or change lanes.
SoTimothy, the next time you are on our side of Zero Avenue, do avoid following too closely and try to let people merge on the freeways or change lanes. This may require tapping the brakes to slow a bit, or stomping the accelerator to get out of their way. Do the one that is appropraite!
The “cross when safe “ is a standard sign on most highways where there are cyclists. Typically at on and off ramps. Obviously it is very dangerous for cars to stop so the cyclist has responsibility here. That said, the crosswalk style lines on the road is really what messes this spot up. They do not belong, cyclists aren’t pedestrians.
Ya totally agree... there's no points of the lines
No, a defined crossing is a good thing, but only with the appropriate signage. It should say something like "cyclists yield to traffic and only cross when safe". The problem here is the lack of clarity on who has priority in the intersection.
The crosswalk would be for pedestrians. A cyclist would have to dismount from their bike to use the crosswalk as a pedestrian. The "Cross Here When Safe" sign is meant for cyclists who do not dismount as they wouldn't have priority.
Yup absolutely. If an accident had happened, the driver who stopped would have been at fault technically. The cyclist did not have right of way as the sign clearly states they may only cross when safe.
dat taxi driver at the end stole the CRV's right of way as well. He then proceeded to block both the cammer and the CRV....
It's bad enough when there were so many idiots going the wrong way on a road, but even more idiots that just let them carry on.
This has happened several times on my drives and I STOP DEAD in front of them and MAKE them turn around or back up.
Well said and I do the same you did, I won't let them continue.
A little variety...and all the usual suspects. 1:03, 4:10, 10:00 and 10:14--white SUVs. And of course, EVOs and taxis. It's like a sitcom with regular guest appearances. I'm beginning to think that a dash cam might be a good idea, and not just for the entertainment.
So many bad drivers in Richmond. Lived in Ottawa for 2 years and never had any issue when crossing the road. In Richmond, 2 week, 2 near miss hit!
I really need to get a dash cam that can save clips, I dont even know how to operate my dad's cheap chinese one since the box is now gone and just this weekend, 3 days in a row within 2 minutes of leaving my house for work, I almost t-bone/got t-boned by 3 different drivers running stop signs.
Thank you for adding Marky's video!
2:15 Costs nothing to let someone in. The truck driver is sitting higher than everybody else so they could see the parked pick-up truck...
Wow, it just unbelievable until you see in on video!
Interesting footage!
I live in Nanaimo and I was walking to work one day at a pretty tricky intersection where most people avoid. So, when I saw a Prius that was marked as a drivering instructor company and with one person in the car who I figured must have been the owner of the company or one of the teachers, I thought that I would be fine and that he saw me in the crosswalk, but he didn't scan the crosswalks he just scanned for vehicles and then he went through and I had to stop in the middle of the crosswalk and let him through. he waved at me and was nice about it but it's just quite ironic that somebody that should be very well versed in these situations, would be doing something that they try to teach you to avoid.
I live in Nanaimo what intersection?
you're going to laugh... Rock City and departure Bay. It's a pretty bad intersection as it is. so I kind of don't blame him in a way but he should automatically be doing those things, scanning the intersection and scanning the crosswalks.
You figure mensa candidates teach driving?
haha! hey maybe...
Hey, just wondering what's a good starter dual dash cam? I too live in fear of Vancouver's drivers and want to protect myself so any suggestions would be great before I buy, thanks!
I heard good things about the Thinkware FA200 (you can get one or two channel) and the VIOFO A129

I also have a promo code check out the link in the description!
Consider not living here
It is nuts
@8:03 ummm, I'm from US so the rules may be different, but wouldn't the guy making a U-Turn have the right of way when the other light was red? How is this NOT the dash cammer's fault?
“British Columbia prohibits U-turns under the Motor Vehicle Act, Section 168, making U-turns illegal under the following circumstances:
If the U-turn interferes with other traffic
In a curve
At the crest of a hill
When a sign prohibits a U-turn
At an intersection controlled by a Traffic Control Signal
In a business district, except at an intersection where no traffic control signal is present”
Cammer and U-turner were both at fault.
only action i see at that save on underground parking is people forgetting to pay before they leave darnit!
@9:32, cars are supposed to give the right-of-way the pedestrians at a marked crosswalk.
Pedestrians, yes. But a cyclist would need to dismount from their bikes first.
The design is weird in any case. It's inviting all manner of accidents.
@@louieberg2942 I concur. I agree wholeheartedly. I meant 9:32.
Sometimes it's best to wait for something heavy like a semi to go through and not through two cars stopped. Cars can stop quick, semis no.
Haha on that last clip, I live near that area and we get a LOT of bears. People go crazy and do that stuff, but that particular road you're on is a brand new area with like zero traffic, which is why I guess they left their car like that.
2:01 most people don’t know what’s zipper merge here in Canada
8:40 I never understood these crosswalk on a highway it's just going to cause injury and maybe death, sadly until that happens these crosswalks will be open
Driver education here is a joke. As long you have a pulse, pay the fee and you can see how many fingers they hold up you're good to go as far as ICBC is concerned. It's laughable really. I would say roughly %30 of the drivers on the road here should just never have been allowed to operate a motor vehicle without adult supervision.
I swear half the people driving here don’t even have a license
@@mayberelevant3237 Half the people here probably bought their license lol. Slip the tester $250 and youre the best driver they've ever seen.
The only thing worse than the drivers in Vancouver are the dumpster divers with their (stolen) shopping carts loaded with wine bottles, skateboarders, bikers and pedestrians who completely ignore silly things like stop signs and red lights and are completely oblivious to everyone else on the road. It's as if they really believe they can move anywhere, anytime - and car drivers need to stop for them - regardless of who has right of way. In fact - there is no right of way in Vancouver. WHERE are the cops? WHY aren't they ticketing skateboarders and bikers who blatantly violate rules of the road? I know, they are hanging out at Tim Horton's.
I grew up in the Vancouver area and im sorry to say but these foreign drivers are to blame for most of the bad driving. They didn’t grow up with our rules and system. I don’t really blame them though. Our system is absolutely horrible. People don’t understand and they are not taught that they are operating 2000+kg machines that kill in a split second. If our government and ICBC were any good they would make it damn near impossible to get a drivers license. People lives are at risk and they hand out licenses like a PEZ dispenser. Driving is a privilege, not a right.
now ask me how i feel about ICBC issuing motorcycle licenses.... !
At 9:00, no one ever said the bike community was smart and I used to bike, now I use the bus, much safer from cars and other bikes on the road.
Ruman should have let the Honda in. That is a spot on Granville that is HOV only at the time of the video and you're only supposed to be in that lane if you're turning. He had his signal on far on advance, Ruman looked like he was just trying to purposely cause trouble.
Let's pet the cute bear !! Screams ensue...
And the sad part is when the bear turns on them , the bear will be shot
This is true!!. I live in vancouver and holy moly the driver's are bad you need a dashboard camera for your safety.
2:50 galaxy brained move.
Hi there. at 2:16 you mention that you don't legally have to stop to let someone into your lane.
Is that the law? I just want to know because we currently have a claim where a truck changed lanes on top of us. There was no time for us to slow down but in case they say we should have slowed down. He doesn't have a case does he?
Ya unless it's a merge lane they have to yield. Same with someone pulling away from being parked on the side of the road. I see people drive in the bus lane then cut in and cut people off and if they hit someone they would be at fault because you're already established in your lane.
From icbc website “The same rule applies when you’re planning to change lanes. Make sure there is a large enough gap so that when you pull in front of another vehicle, that driver doesn’t have to slow down to avoid crashing into you. Legally, you must signal when you change lanes.”
Also says this. Whenever you enter a lane, whether you’re pulling into traffic or changing lanes, the vehicles in the lane you’re moving into have the right‐of‐way.
@@radcliffemike Great thanks Mike! Still under dispute with this claim, it happened in April!
They are not parked at the light, they stopped at the light; there's a difference. When you're parked, you put your car in park with the P on your shifter for automatic transmission.
Burke!?! Some mountain biking?! :D
🔴WE NEED MORE POLICE ON THE STREETS AND MORE TRAFFIC CAMERAS 🔴
Thx for everything Vancouver worst drivers
why cant they just stay in richmond.....
hahaha
8:24 I would rather stay in my lane hit the truck and have him pay for the damage as hit the cones and him driving of and have to pay for the damage myself
10:42 well stupid people live short to the point you just cannot help them anymore
The "cross here when safe", is not confusing. It's obvious that the sign is for the cyclist. The cars that stop to let the cyclist cross are make the situation dangerous. However the truck coming that had to brake hard to ovoid the stopped car should have seen that was slowing/stopping traffic in front of them.
10:20 the suv most likely was going the wrong way as well given that there was no traffic signals facing them
3:02 guy is driving on the bus lane too. He is at fault
Hooray! I'm this month's winner! Thank you. You're the best! Love your channel ❤
Funny thing about the name 😬 It's short for Brezhneva Anna Borisovna (that is last+first+middle names. And yes, Russian last names are weird).
I promise to get it changed to an easier the one at my first opportunity 😎
Cyclists have to yield to cars. But Vancouver has this frustrAting habit of yielding to pedestrians. That truck was paying attention but it was too big to just slam on the breaks and stop safely in that distance. ESPECIALLY if it was full. Trucks take longer to stop.
1:43 that's an echo not a yaris
What's worse is icbc giving out driver's licences to these people.
Which is why I don't drive in this city.
My god! I live in Vancouver... and let me say that Richmond and Kerrisdale are the worst areas to even think about driving in. Mind you, if you can survive there, you can drive ANYWHERE!
Roundabouts in Richmond, brought to you by local bodyshops.
I thought dangerous and illegal driving are against the law? ICBC and police needs to get these types of drivers off the road by any means possible. Like maybe using these videos? I mean accidents are accidents, but driving the wrong way, running red lights and hit and runs and so on needs to be stopped. In any other aspects of life you can't break the law and get away with it after especially while being recorded, but you can when driving? How does this make sense?
I agree , I was side swiped once and as I pulled over to do the swap info thing he took off , another driver followed him and came back and gave me his license # ICBC told me his plate was no good, hadn’t been registered for years , so too bad & I had to pay my deductible, they couldn’t of cared less !
The worst people at parking usually drive very expensive cars... and are from Richmond.
Cross here when safe is pretty self-explanatory, when it's safe would mean that you would have to yield. If anything the front car would have been held partially responsible for causing an accident
Or “Run like hell!”
It's a mixed message because of the zebra crossing. That would be the most obvious road signage for a car and it would instruct the driver to stop for a pedestrian.
yeah should be no crosswalk and just the sign to pedestrians/cyclists otherwise it's a crosswalk and cars must stop
The thing is if the cyclist dismounted then they could have the right of way in the crosswalk theoretically, that being said with the sign explicitly saying cross here when safe I'd say the cyclist must yield regardless.
me: let's become a cyclist, Vancouver is so bike friendly
how have I not died after 3 years of riding it o_o this channel is gonna give me PTSD, as a cyclist I fear for the morons who open their doors without shoulder checking (right next to a bike line)
It's true in vancouver if you crosswalk or ride a bike or jaywalk, they try to hit you.
Im sure Ruman will be at minimum 50% liable for that. if he wasn't doing 80 the civic driver would have made that turn and no accident would have happened... Obviously with turning from the middle lane I think he's also 50% at fault. But the fact that Ruman sent you this makes me think he wasn't driving out of control and does this everyday weaving thru traffic... Just leave 5 minutes earlier guy. 😑 I hope ICBC got this dashcam footage to see how fast Ruman actually was traveling. If I was Ruman I woulden't want ICBC to see the video...
If only Western Speedway was open
5:40 money doesn't buy skills. Shame that most people never put money into improving their driving skills...
Seriously though ... A lot of adults should hire driving instructors if people are constantly honking at them
I find the worst drivers in Vancouver are taxi drivers, Uber and Lyft drivers, bus drivers and police cars.
Wrong side of the road. Worst/best i ever saw and i wish i had a dashcam at this point. Idiot in a corolla driving down the wrong side of hwy 1 going over the port mann. I was in a crown vic at that point and the guy nearly shit his pants when i hit him with the spotlight and layed on the horn.
7:47 That's not a driving instructor. That's another person in the lower mainland using an "L" or "Student Driver" sticker to excuse their lack of driving skill and/or lack of license.
Or like in "Gone in 60 Seconds" the instructor gave up/got out and told the student to circle the block while they made a phone call
Did you is Kevin’s footage in Yale town the minivan got lit up by the red light cameras
I meant to say miss
Haha didn't even notice, but I'm sure the operator checking them was like "WTF"
Maybe it’s just me, but i think that the people who came from a place that drives the opposite side . . . Maybe tourists shouldn’t be allowed but for immigrants, they need to have supervision first before driving by themselves. Maybe that will reduce if not eliminate the numbers of counterflows
when you live in vancouver and your are taking driving lessons and then ends up on these videos !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:49 probably British accidently driving on the left
It’s depressing.
I hate to be a party pooper.
At least one of the implicated drivers is whiter than snow.
And possibly lives in Richmond.
At 1:37 it’s actually a Toyota echo not a Yaris
Thanks!
Sounds like u drive for living, so do I.
I see so many bad drivers, u think there should be an e-mail address to ICBC so we could send in our video clips.
I used to drive for a living! Sometimes I would drive around vancouver 8 hours a day and I would say I would almost get hit 3 times a shift 😬
Daily driving in Brampton.....
You know, I'm not that surprise to see all this bad driving. Just have a look at the driving school teachers. . . a lot of what appears to be third world country people teaching now a days. Driving schools are the problem.
NO.. ICBC is the problem.. they licence the driving schools!
What do you expect in Vancouver?
5:21 and on the wrong side of the road
The 0:56 one isn't even the drivers fault lmao
Ya 100% on the pedestrian
Lmao ima continue passing cyclists but it’s never okay on turns when you can’t see oncoming traffic. I’ve never had an issue where another driver panicked and swerved off the road like in the video
Concrete curbs, not cement!
5:34, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🔥💯
8:34 couple things i see no warning of crosswalk also cyclist must dismount for cars to stop,the red car should not have stopped. Crosswalk not for cyclist. That is why the sign says when safe. The cyclist should be stopping well away from road then go when clear. Ik this and i never ride a bike fucking comon sense. Hate bikers.
That blue Audi Q7, bys expensive car but cant drive.
How is the third one a worst driver’s incident? ‘Pedestrian’ should not have crossed.
It's just driving videos driver wasn't at fault I agree
That blue porches.... really??
I'm fr Vancouver.
Please don't let let me be in this Video.
Thank you Jesus.
😅
Loll...well..what do you expect when you have someone smart like J .T running the country lolll..
4:23 seem to be very old clip
How so? That's what Tesla built in dashcams look like I'm not a huge fan especially since the view is so narrow
cab drivers are some of the worst drivers on the road.
9:04 cyclist has to yield of course.
Literally worse than Edmonton and Calgary combined!
Many years ago, the province discovered people in Richmond were able to pay a bribe to get their license when they proved unable to properly drive. The bribery went on for a couple of years. There were public calls for every driver who received a license from that one MV branch during that time to be retested. The spineless politicians wouldn't order it because they feared they'd be called racist.
@@e-curb Chinese scam ring, it's actually happened a few times around that time youre thinking of, i think 2004 or so.
