Happy New Year!
Hi
happy ny, like this channel
All the best for 2023, mate!
Happy New Year
Happy 2023.
I think there are too many newcomers in BC that don't know how to drive or bring their way of driving to this country. Walking along Fraser south of 41, you will hear so many honking and cars running red light
Civic duty is not a local habit. The media never preaches this and perpetually hopes for local meltdowns. like slimy bottom feeders. The media will never mention civic duty, cuz they need cash and only by huge trouble will we ever be newsworthy and notorious. Yawn.
The guy who got hit by the snow plow, he or she needs their license taken away.
passing on double line
These trucks also have signs that says do not pass
Asians drivers.
@@ruinmcdickpants8412 what about them? care to explain your random statement. i know, let me add 'black skies'??
@@ruinmcdickpants8412 100% I have to drive in Vancouver with them regularly and every time I get through I praise Jesus my truck doesn’t have any new dents
1 out of 10 people know how to use a roundabout (FYI don't slow down to let other traffic into the roundabout)
You sure 1 in 10?
More like 1/100
yup, literally only 3 rules in BC for Roundabouts. Max 30k in it, yield to cars in it, signal to leave it. That's it.
Unfortunately, it’s very rare to see drivers making signals when leaving the roundabout. 😅
Dude its so funny. It took me literally 10 seconds to figure out what to do when i first started driving here. The ubc roundabout is the same thing as that one. Yield to cars inside, signal when leaving, and 30km/h. So many times i have to beep my way around the roundabout due to idiots not reading a sign 😂
I was in Vancouver in the 1980s. It looks like nothing has changed.
Patterns don't change. I drove downtown in the eighties, and also drover all over LA in the seventies. Same traffic flow, excpet instead of an hour it now takes 2.5 hours in GOod conditions. Glad to be in the mountains, now.
I recall Burnaby many years ago. when two cars hit the first thing they start yelling is not madness and blame, it is this' No ICBC, No ICBC ! "
I have been driving over 50 years, and never had an accident, or a speeding ticket, now with that being said, it doesn't mean I couldn't cause an accident, but I have always tried my hardest to pay attention to what's going on with other traffic, and abide by the traffic rules. I always said you have to have eyes all the way around your head to drive in traffic these days, and always watch out for the other guy, because you never know what they may do! I live in Ontario Canada and it's the same here as it is in Vancouver, we have bad drivers all across Canada. The biggest problem on the road in bad weather, like snow is, speed, and not driving to road conditions. Too many people get over confident with their driving, and think they can handle the snow and ice when they can't, and that goes for the guys who drive the big rigs. It would be nice to see many of these bad drivers get their license pulled, but there are not enough cops on the road to make that happen.. The only defense you have is drive carefully yourself and slow down in bad weather, know what you can handle, and how to handle your car incase of snow and ice!
I too have been driving about 50 years with no accidents except for one very strange one. It happened at a speed of less than 1 mph and took almost two minutes from the point I lost control to the point I hit the car in front of me. It happened in Edmonton on 66 St. beside Londonderry Mall. I was south bound and the road was black ice. When I turned onto the road and saw the gleam on the road, I touched my break to test the surface and immediately, I slid towards the curb. When I bumped the curb, the car bounced to the left and went sideways. That piece of road has a very slight down grade and I just kept sliding. At the bottom of the road was a stopped car and very slowly, I got closer and closer. My girlfriend kept arguing with me to do something as we got closer. And I kept telling her I had no control. We argued back and forth and as we got closer and closer she started to get mad at me. Finally after nearly two minutes we reached the stopped car and the side of my car bumped the back of hers. We spun around and stopped headlight to headlight. I got out of my car to check on the other driver and she was looking behind her car. I asked if she was alright and she said. "I think someone hit me but there's no one here." I pointed to the front of her car where my car faced hers. She didn't want to believe me that I was the one who hit her. My car was in front and she was hit in the back. Other than a slight dent on the side of my car, no other damage. Possible the slowest car accident in history. Note: The reason the lady was sitting there on the road was she too slid down the slight grade and after she finally stopped, she was too scared to go again.
Governments profit by having more trucks speeding. The economy relies on this criminal behavior. Truckers love to kill amateur hockey teams and cyclists. Civic duty would solve the problem, but our economy is so crappy that we need lawless companies who can profit by perpetually breaking the law. Civic duty would also end the families speeding and blowing stop signs every Family Day in Canada. But civic negligence rules our streets and highways and the death toll is far worse than terrorism. Criminals love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ed, our capitals are lawless places and the federal capital sees that most of our civil servants are completely unacquainted with civic duty - or a CONSCIENCE. Parents in Ottawa love to blow stop signs when dropping off or picking up their kids from school. They take the exact same ethics to work. The poo is flowing and only civic duty will make patriots proud of their future................................................................. Right Kids?
I've been driving for over 30 years, 20 of those professionally in Alberta, in the BC Interior, in Ontario and now here and have a lot of winter driving experience - my car has snow tires, has AWD and driving here in the snow is a struggle. As soon as I get the car on the Coq or back into the Interior, where the snow is fluffy and compacts nicely, winter driving is an absolute blast - get back here with our wet, slushy, icy snow and its an absolute nightmare. The snow we get here grabs you and doesn't let go. Anyone who goes skiing, knows exactly what types of snow can do to your skiing performance, and the same goes for driving.
In regards to the buses and snow tire arguments, I've been driving buses for 20 years in cities, highways in BC and Alberta, transit buses, highway coaches and I've never driven a bus with snow tires because they don't make a noticeable difference which is why no transit agency uses snow tires. I've never been in an accident, I've never slid out of control and I've never gotten stuck with a bus that didn't have snow tires.
Right...People blame the lack of snow tires for some of the extreme problems we have had recently around Vancouver...spoilers, snow tires do not help at all, if you don't know how to drive. In these last weeks, I had metal studded snow tires on my van, and even at creeping, 3 km, inching forward at a stop light...when I abruptly hit the break, I slide incredibly. If you think you won't have problems with snow tires...think again, I suspect that a lot of these people actually had them .
@@InglesSpanishConversation "all weather" is a cop out for tires. I run full winter year around as I'm now low miles, but with gravel roads and logging where I drive, that extra half inch per tire on the road makes sense. So if it wears a little faster? I drove one truck a grand total of 5,000 klms. last year.
quote: " I've never driven a bus with snow tires...." This means your experience driving a bus in the winter is meaningless. Get back to us when you've driven a bus with snow tires. Snow tires exist for a reason.
@@e-curb They do exist for a reason, and those reasons are for areas where snow tires do provide a benefit such as deep, fluffy snow which we do not get here.
Transit agencies across Canada, including Translink, despite popular social media myths, test various tires including snow tires, and I've driven for companies that have tested them, and they provided no substantial benefits for our winter conditions.
@@pta3407 You're wrong! We do get snow here. It's happened twice this year so far. On those few days, snow tires do improve traction. That's why snow tires exist!!!!
Thank you so much for this past year of giggles, close calls and crashes~!
I suspect you won't be left wanting for material to use in your vids; Vancouver shall provide, as always she does.
Thanks for the support!
If civic duty ever took hold in this poop festival we call Metro Vancouver, the host of this video will be able to retire in comfort. Not wealthy but proud of showing how crappy we are on the road and how civic negligence is common and ultra-fashionable. Teens love this lack of adult maturity and Family Day is merely more of the same disgusting habits that scare pedestrians. Folks, "PEDESTRIANS" are the folks who walk on the "SIDEWALKS."
After these two snow storms in Vancouver, I firmly believe that Evo should lock all their cars as soon as the ministry tells everyone that road conditions are not suitable for driving. The number of people in Evos out there during this last storm was ridiculous.
@9:18 That's The Old Island Highway and Hamm Road in Black Creek (Vancouver Island, just North of Courtenay). I worked at the mini golf 100 meters north of the intersection for a summer. This area is so bad!!!
I live right by the intersection between Main Street and Union Street. It's amazing the amount of crashes that have happened there throughout the year. At least 6 in fact, give or take.
Ya I bet!
Time to install a camera
Crazy snow videos! Thanks for all your work posting in 2022!
It's not first time when I hear that Vancouver has a lot of drivers that don't know how to drive on the roads. Lot of close calls, accidents and people making their lane/rules on the road. I bet that city is a heaven for body shops :D
It is, so many expensive BMW/MB/Audi that are like a year old but look like they were used in the beach landings on Dday....I wonder why that could be?? Hmmm?? Its almost like a certain part of the drivers there just bought their licenses.
That roundabout looks like one of the simplest ones. Only one lane. No possibility of mistaking right of way. The only reason someone would get in an accident in that one is because they don't know the most basic of traffic rules.
In the roundabout, the vehicle on the left in the roundabout have the right-of-way. Whereas at an intersection, the vehicles approaching at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way.
ICBC has have this question on their written exam...I am sure most people will answer this question wrong.
Sounds about right haha
@@kennethl4172 Sadly, the ICBC guidebook instructs you to treat a 4 way stop illegally.
9:30, looks like an adv from BMW. Assuming long distance travel is often on that bike, drifting is kind of common skills to learn how to ride that machine,but that is a hell of good rider.
whenever I'm out in snow either driving or as a passenger, I always assume that once there is ANY snow on the grounds, everybody on the road has lost their minds.
Yup! Thanks for watching
These incidents happen in Alberta all the time in winter. Driver over confidence is often the cause.
Happy New year, thanks for posting these. I am from bc and its nice to see the province even if its in this format ;)
9:55 There's nothing wrong with that roundabout. It's the dumb idiot drivers that are the problem and the current driving curriculum/schools that don't require teaching new drivers how to properly nagivage roundabouts.
No one knows! Thanks for watching
BTW: if you fail to clear the snow off of your car, you can get a ticket because it is illegal. It is in Ontario. I'm not sure about BC.
I just found this channel and do like it above most of the others like it, as they give nice narration for each clip which gives the video more character, rather than random clips laced together with nothing holding them other than "Car crash"
Very good situations. I live in Sweden and last week we had heavy snow and the same situations you have. Winter tires (with or without spikes) are mandatory in winter but they don't always help. Happy holidays!
Ya they should be here too!
Yes they do help, people just need to know how to control the car and slow the heck down people are driving way too fast for conditions
Lol
Snow is Vancouver is like
Snowfall in London or LA.
People don’t need winter tires if they live in Vancouver
People blame the lack of snow tires for some of the extreme problems we have had recently around Vancouver...spoilers, snow tires do not help at all, if you don't know how to drive. In these last weeks, I had metal studded snow tires on my van, and even at creeping, 3 km, inching forward at a stop light...when I abruptly hit the break, I slide incredibly. If you think you won't have problems with snow tires...think again, I suspect that a lot of these people actually had them .
taday's vehicles have all their weight over the front tires. back in the day (Chevells, p/u's, stock cars and even Volvo's) the cars weight was evenly distributed between all four corners of the car. Helped a lot. I could go ANYWHERE at anytime in any condiitons with my 67 Chevelle and 1951 GMC p/u. Of course, you don't skimp on the tires.
Why the F are people driving so fast on those highways, even more so when it’s just the tyre tracks that are clear. Drift one way a tiny bit and you’ll just aquaplane on the slush.
All I can say is....EVO ! Btween Evos, macho vehicles, and white SUVs, man....I just shake my head.....
@@jetstream6389 Similar to "Evil"--EVO is a car share hosted by BCAA. They are black with blue lettering and a ski rack on top. Aside from white SUVs, they are one of the hazards to watch out for. An Evo driver is likely to be unfamiliar with the vehicle, and frequently lost.
wow WTF bro, Vancouver is becoming very dangerous on the road, I know someone even do not have a driver's license when driving, and don't know the rule here
The sponsor for this channel is very fitting...
Too many inexperienced snow drivers , too fast, nobody using chains at anytime , and too aggressive in their driving habits, this is Vancouver lol
People in the greater Vancouver area and lower mainland don't know how to drive in the snow 😅
True but I also think the lack of winter tires are also to blame. They're a great investment!
or the rain, or the fog, or a nice clear sunny day.
I'm just back from New York City - ten days as a pedestrian mostly in Brooklyn - and I am now deeply thankful for Vancouver drivers and riders of electric bicycles. There, a fresh red light means "full speed ahead" to many drivers and absolutely nothing to cyclists on electric bikes, most of which use motorcycle-style throttles rather than pedal assist. There are cops everywhere but few seem to be doing anything at all much less traffic enforcement. Life is evidently very cheap in the Big Apple.
I stayed home on the 20 of December (best choice I have ever made)
Ya it was nuts!
I live in the caribou its mandatory that everyone have winter tires. We have more snow than Vancouver. Yet are roads are always clear even my dirt road is getting plowed. You goto the store and you'll see several personal trucks with plows on them. Everyone has something to move the snow from snow blowers, atv's with plows to truck plows.
the lower main land is so much fun when it snows
great to see another bc channel
I loved that show "Canada's Worst Drivers", I learned from Andrew watching it! Back in the '70's we didn't need drivers ed so I learned a few things & had a good laugh!
Most of those drivers seemed to have mental issues: no boundaries, thought (in their fried brain) that all other drivers should look out for them. Sad, really, A show about the mentally challenged and you give them a CAR?
Insane compilation!
I've been waiting for this edition!!
Snowpocalypse edition!
It's a suicide to drive in Vancouver, BC. Many many drivers are a present a real danger to others. A total zero responsibility on their behaviour .
Ooh, the snow vids. Been looking forward to these ones.
Actually, the worst round-a-bout has got to be the one on the way to the Victoria Airport.
The developments in Vic are awful in the recent 10 years. As if no one in the government actually knows how to design roads. With so many senior drivers there it’s just asking for accidents.
@@AthenaCannon We just put one in at the turn-off into the park at Radium. The only good thang is that the logging trucks (full load) don't have to stop uphill making their right into the mill. OF COURSE, cars will stop and think and look at their calendar while the logging truck comes down on them from behind.
I started watching a few months ago, very entertaining, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I grew up and learned now to drive in Alberta but moved to BC and have been living there for 3 years now. It really shocked me at first how people in the lower mainland cannot comprehend how to drive in the snow! But honestly if you’re not used to it or taught how to do it, it is not at all second nature. The concept of how the snow effects how the car maneuvers is just not something they teach you haha
I’ve never driven a car but I’m from Ontario originally, I’m pretty sure I could do better than most people in the lower mainland
Nope. It's common sense too. A lot of the drivers here think snow is a speed boost.
It's so frustrating sometimes seeing these same people not care about other drivers and people's safety as long as they can get ahead of everyone.
I drive a semi truck for a living. Watching this proves stereotypes are time savers. Toyotas, Subaru, bmw, Lexus, Merc - corollas, small SUVs, etc…. There’s a certain race that loves to drive these higher end vehicles…These are the worst drivers! And the Asian woman with the mask that walks into a vehicle.
7:13 I live in Langley, near by this 200 and 88th, this happens daily.
there is a separate lanes for left turn, people miss it and they think they can just stop right there and make left turn.... SMH
1:43
Thanks for messing up my drift and driving into my neighbours driveway 😂
Dude that's so funny this is on here that was fun
dude.
That actually was a pretty awesome save by the motorcycle rider.
Considering there was a pedestrian on the back.
Since immigrating to Van almost a decade ago from Ireland I'm always amazed by how little snow driving skill every driver here has. The city panics and shuts down for the slightest snow, no one drives as they should for the conditions. If people didn't get hurt or die it'd be hilarious. The average driver here is among the least skillful I've ever dealt with anywhere in the world. I also spent a brief time as an ICBC Driver Examiner, and can absolutely lay blame there. It's so laughably easy to pass that road test.
Edit: About the second last clip for the roundabout. The problem there is no one over here is taught how to drive around them and ICBC doesn't test for them. They have specific criteria to test everything but the criteria for roundabouts mixes them up with traffic circles, which are totally different. In most countries you also signal when you're on the roundabout and when you're leaving, so it's a left signal for when you're going around and right towards the exit you're going to take. However here it's a demerit point on the test if you signal as that will, and I'm not shitting you "confuse other road users". So officially here the Motor Vehicle Act says there should only be one vehicle on any roundabout at a time so they're just 4 way stops and totally remove the time saving benefits of the roundabout while throwing in all the things about 4 way stops that increase crashes. If it's not clear, I don't have much respect for ICBC as a testing organisation.
I just moved up to SFU. The buses are crazy when the snow drops. Fun! Haha
9:15 in the video would be just outside Campbell river that intersection causes so many accidents it’s unreal
Yeah, was out in Snowmageddon in my Jeep Grand Cherokee with winter tires and 'snow' mode engaged, PoCo to Langley to Yaletown to Langley and back again unscathed. Slow and steady does it. Tip to all those SUV speeders - you may have better traction than that Corolla, but you can't STOP any better....
9:25 Hahahah i love how you called the passenger a pedestrian
lol my bad!
I betcha got a years worth this winter
9:51 That is a tight little rounabout, if you're driving any sort of commercial vehicle (I speak from experience) but seriously what part of YIELD do drivers not comprehend?
7:35, the traffic light in North America city are commonly on the far side of the intersection so they can be driving into the zebra crossing and till able to see the light and that gave driver the absolute vision on the road to the left, but in the progress it blinds their right hand side vision entirely.
Purchased a dashcam from Blackbox. Is good to have.
I always say "assume every driver is an idiot...... because only idiots will run into you."
I cannot count how many times they proved me right...
I live in the Lower Mainland. All the idiots with bald tires and all season tires should be ticketed. Time to make snow tires or M/S tires, mandatory. The amount of accidents and delays these idiots cause everyone with spin outs, and causing accidents, is unacceptable.
Thanks, another great video
Thanks for watching and for the support this year!
That was a spectacular save by the motorcyclist, holy cow!
Especially when they had a "pedestrian" on the back. I'd like to see the video where the motorcyclist hits the pedestrian and they end up on the back of the motorcycle like a passenger!
Worst roundabout in Vancouver is in Delta at 82 and 116. In 2022 I've seen cars in the middle of the roundabout, a truck and trailer took out a fire hydrant and yield sign, and even a moron who managed to t-bone a Delta police SUV and I only go through there twice a week at most!
snow in Raincouver is unexpected and it surprised many "drivers" LOL that was fun, thank you.
it snows every year......
Good commentary!
They give anything with a pulse a license here.
Naw, but the custom is for our happy weasels to ruin the economy daily at work and while traveling to work, bare their balls with civic negligence on the roads. This proves to tourists our lust for their blood and Port Alberni's happy youth initiative for hunting and killing tourists.
It’s like this in Calgary, your right, people try & blame you, for there mistakes, crazy
Thanks!! Just found you today, I’m from Vancouver Island but was on the mainland for Xmas, an the day we went over took us 2hrs from the ferry what usually takes 25 mins!! Was very frustrated! Lol
Jeez! Thanks for watching if you have a dashcam I accept footage from all over BC so send it in if you have any!
This is my number 1 dashcam channel!
Thanks so much!
its scary out there and to many on phones and zoned out
Omg, those cyclists like that are the WORST. I've seen so many of them just barrel through without signaling, or check, going on sidewalks, then back in traffic trying to get the best of both worlds. Fucking infuriating.
another normal day in vancouver
3:25 That is the corner of Kingsway and E 7th. You are only allowed to turn right either to Main St or Kingsway. That snow covered pick-up made an illegal left turn there.
8:35 car going straight through on the right of cam is actually on a right turn only lane.
looks like a normal day in Northern Ontario where were allowed to run STUDDED TIRES & can pass on a double yellow line
drove back and forth 4 times from the 15th to to the 28th, those roads were bad in the mountains, wasnt to bad in vancouver but i had 4 wheel drive and winter tires
omg that motorcyclist... I did ride a motorcycle for 1 summer about 10 years ago and yeah.. I hung my helmet that same summer, its scary out there, never again.. at least not in the lower mainland.
That is a lot of snow for Vancouver.
The day after the big snowfall a few weeks ago, I dug my car out of the plowed bank it was in, got up to Blundell, went to go turn left and an Audi SUV went straight through the red light. They were speeding for a dry road, yet alone when it was snowy and icy on a hardly plowed out. I was close enough I could see they weren't even trying to stop, I don't think they even saw me or the red light they just went through. Not a lot of drivers left in Richmond that have never had an accident, I only have only made it 20 years because you always have to assume people can really be that clueless when driving around you haha.
Nah bruh that snow plow did my homie so dirty LMFAO
Fascinating to see for me. I've been driving since 1972 in Vancouver and never caused an accident. I drove Taxis, Limousines, single axle trucks and many buses, mainly Tour Buses. It has always astonished me just how selfish some drivers, or cyclists or pedestrians are who do not pay for their asinine decisions to ignore others as though they are the only people using a road, parking lot or sidewalk. I am happy to say though that most people do care about what other people need to do so we all get home safe. For a real challenge try driving a large bus in heavy traffic according to a timed schedule avoiding all the idiots in vehicles, bicycles or on foot while keeping a load of paying customers amused and educated with constant talking which requires you to think ahead of not only what you are doing physically but what to say next to give them the possible experience you can create.
Looking forward what we going to see in 2023. Happy New Year
You too!
2:23 it looks to me like the corolla driver was possibly thinking that the slow moving white car in the centre lane have have been encroaching into his lane. Anyway, THIS is why I don't like driving in Van. It's like this on clear dry pavement too!
thank you
imagine driving behind a snow plow, a vehicle that’s literally paving the way for a safer trip, and you decide to fucking try and pass them lol holy shit.
the walker one is near the Riverbend Asylum near Coquitlam, this is crazy footage
I don't understand why people drive so fast when there's been a snowstorm, this could have all been avoided if they all drove slower
That jeep is so classic. lol.
THE video I was waiting for.. XD winter!!!
Now that we seem to get more snow in Vancouver and clearly city never having enough budget for it we should all learn how to drive in the snow. Once you lose traction in your rear tire, don't try to steer your way out of it unless you know how, and most of us don't. Just let the wheel go for a bit, the front wheel eventually arrange itself to the direction of momentum. Just when the wheel is in a position you want the vehicle to go, hold and brake slowly. I drift my way out of small neighbourhood roundabouts this way in snow.
Even if you need to hit a hard brake do a self ABS and break it into short spurs of brakes. The wheel will definitely lock up and you get less braking if you just press hard. Obviously go slower and try not to overtake another vehicle.
Just remember your goal is to get you and your car home in one piece not fast!
Happy New Year! The car @2:23 is a Toyota but not a Carolla it's an Echo. But otherwise great video.
3:22 I think I saw that jeep driver in Maple Ridge aswell lol
6:40. Happens more than you think
"Professional drivers" caused more chaos on the roads from Burnaby to Surrey and Coquitlam than average citizens. Transit Buses were abandoned and stacked 3 deep across Lougheed Hwy, blocking the main option to Hwy 1. When you made it to the Port Man, 2 Dump Trucks with trailers were parked and abandoned in the center through lanes. Other Semi tractor trailers lost their speed from this blockage and seemed unaware that the HOV lane is always closed for Winter Maintenance when its snows. If Government Funded Crown Corporations and Professional Transportation business cannot drive during snow storms why would anyone expect the average commuters be any better?
drove semis for years and most vehicles in the ditch were 4x4,s or upside down
Because 90% of people in the lower mainland don't know how to drive in snow or drive period, nor do they even have winter tires as they very very rarely get snow.
I often see Jeep Wranglers with the stock all terrain tires on, which are nothing more than all-seasons, or rather 3-season tires. No all-wheel-drive system will help you maintain control if you're skidding.
Thanks for the channel..first time viewer…I see why a pedestrian is struck everyday in the lower mainland…not the drivers fault
Thanks for watching!
People really need to learn how their ABS works. Yes, when it engages it takes forever to stop but at least you won't go in the boonies. Hold the pedal firmly to the floor and steer where you want to go and let it do the work. I hit black ice once and was terrified, not least because of the cars crashed all round me, but managed to weave through everyone in one piece even though it took a very long time to stop and all kinds of noises :)
Pump the brakes actually. Holding the brake only causes you to keep sliding
@@DanaJMarcy ABS pumps the brakes for you lol
Yup. Pump those brakes yourself. Many times the ABS will come on while sliding, which helps maintain steering control, but doesnt help stop in the snow/ice. Pumping the brakes helps break the slide. Learn how to drive without the nanny tech.
@@Skippyfugnugget Bad advice.
"many times the ABS will come on while sliding,..." - No. ABS will apply every time while sliding. That's precisely what it does and what it is for.
"but doesn't help stop in the snow/ice" - yes it most certainly does. There are many many variables when it comes to stopping distances so a blanket statement like that is incorrect.
"pumping the brakes helps break the slide". - what exactly do you think the ABS is doing? It's pumping the brakes before the slide occurs. It's reacting to your tires locking up before they lock up way way before you react yourself.
C'mon man. Learn to drive properly with ABS.
Lol nah, I live in Kelowna. Sometimes just holding the pedal does not help. A lot of the time I will lift up, and reapply less force allowing for the tires to grab rather than just holding the pedal down and praying.
9:58, the roundabout is not using a curved approach but rather straight appoch that make driver has less chance to slow down and prepare for the roundabout. And to make it worse pedestrian ctross is added to that on the blindside of the driver and there is not a speed bump to alert driver at all.
Sounds like a very poor design. The beef I have with roundabouts (at least where i live) is that they're sooooo rare that when drivers do see one, it might be their first and only time seeing one. So they end up not knowing what to do. I'm not defending poor drivers but it's something to consider.
IMHO, any vehicle (cars, bikes, scooters, skateboards, etc) using the roadways should be licensed and insured. These idiots zipping around on their bikes (the worst entitled offenders of them all) and scooters have no sense of anything except entitlement. They think they can do whatever they want (running through red lights, stop signs, no turn signals, etc) without repercussion. Make them get licensed and insured.
_grey_wolf_ did a great job of recording themselves distracted driving
6:55 Same thing happened to me years ago, and ICBC tried to blame both of us ( so they could raise premiums on both of us lol ) I turned into my lane, and the person turning right drifted over and took off my rear bumper. He obviously turned after I did. ICBC still tried to say I turned when it was not clear to do so. So I am 50% at fault, they make more money. I fought that and won, so don't let ICBC bully any of you out there if you did nothing wrong !!!!!
Exactly! They love 50/50 because then people are less likely to make claims
"worst roundabout"
Looks like a regular roundabout. People are just stupid.
