1:50 I love how the idiot in the SUV just stares down the cammer as if it's the cammer's fault..... what a piece of work.
6:50 I am so tired of these filled out construction minivans in the LM. Can never stay between the lines and never indicates....... there seriously needs to be a more rigorous licensing system for people moving to Canada. The fact that people like this are on the road is a reason why Vancouver drivers are notorious.
Yea they love to tail gate too
@@DogsSnipes and merge onto HWY1 at 60
That first dimwit seems also to be one of the types who, in an empty lot, parks right next to you as if his car is afraid to be alone, leaving either no space for you to get back in or a nice little door ding!
3:40 People need to stop being impatient during traffic light changes. If it's yellow and there's a car ahead of you waiting to turn, just throw it in park and wait for the next available light. And FFS, to those who crank their wheel waiting to turn left at a light, STOOOOP! What's your plan if you get rear-ended? You're now careening into oncoming traffic because some ass clown hit you, so your day is about to go from bad to potentially fatal.
Turn your wheels when you're for sure about to go.
Good point on the wheel turn!
Another issue with wheel turned, it exposes your steering linkage to more damage from the forceful push than keeping it straight.
Good point many ppl don’t know that but is so complicated explanation.
Yeah, people make that mistake all the time, turning a bit before they actually turn. Sometimes though it's because they got stuck unexpectedly.
The problem with hanging out there is that the oncoming straight traffic will keep going right until the red, and then the turner who is halfway into the turn already goes at the same time and BANG.
@@wyldhowl2821 Sometimes you have to turn a bit so you can actually see if there are any cars coming. Vancouver road designs are braindead and seem almost intentionally dangerous.
YVR parking probably makes me laugh the most, bc honest to god Soo many parking parking spots to choose from but ppl insist in parking on the “red carpet”😂
*facepalm
@@vancouversworstdrivers I parked here on November 10th and the lot was full and attendants were parking people in these “spots”.
@@justinwright3697 I have worked there. They may have been given orders to find space for people anywhere. I used to work at YVR - the things I could tell you about what goes on there with idiot drivers, yikes.
I have seen the whole airport parking lot full (which may be the case here), I fly all the time, once took me 30 min to find a spot. This is such outdated airport.
Drivers in Richmond are simply horrible. Some days I avoid 2-3 collisions from people who don't signal lane changes and expect others to get out of their way. I see them, almost daily, make a right hand turn directly into the middle lane. Sometimes I am turning left and get a feeling the person opposite me is going to turn directly into my lane so I'll pause a bit. Other times I'll go and they get pissed I am in the correct lane. The pedestrian at 3:09 is wrong as the pedestrian signal is red. It always is when there is an advanced left turn signal. This occured at Westminster and Minoru near Richmond Centre. Once a person got onto Hwy 99 and drifted across 3 lanes, no signal and almost smashed into me. She was on her cell phone.
The sad part? 1)These terrible drivers exist pretty much everywhere in the Lower Mainland, 2) When they get caught acting stupid behind the steering wheel they display a big, self-entitled attitude. And for crying out loud, where are the cops when these morons (male and female) drive in the wrong lane against the traffic, park on bus lanes, never yield on a runabout, or run through stop signs?
donut shop?
@@gc9111 Doughnut shop or Fat Burger 🍩🍔
Cops only enforce speeding because they can measure it and take that measurement to court. Now that dashcams exist in every cop car, and body cams also, you would think they would crack down on all the other unsafe stuff, with video evidence to back them up. Unfortunately, they will just keep doing speeding, until the provincial government tells them to start dealing with every other thing. (Look at pedestrians jaywalking - they do not care anymore even if the light is red, and it is never enforced. Police stopped doing it at all, because the courts caught the VPD doing all their enforcement of that against homeless people at Main & Hastings (who can't even pay fines, so WTF). If they started handing out jaywalking tickets downtown, they'd be writing so many their hands would cramp up.
@@wyldhowl2821 Jaywalking isnt illegal in BC tho. Look it up
Yeah thumbs up, no problem, that dented bumper I caused that EVO will ding you for is your problem now, byeeeeeeeeeee
There needs to be an episode on what has been happening in Vancouver the last week because of the snow. As someone who lives in Ottawa that gets WAAAY worse snow than that, I’m literally dying of laughter of drivers in Vancouver going insane.
Lived in van in 2000-2001...they got hit with alot of snow that yr and it was comical watching ppl stress
Thanks for continuing this series; I look twice each way before crossing the street, and it's all because of VWD~!
I'm watching over you haha
Most truck drivers I've seen are pretty bad. Speeding while hauling a 20" to 40" trailer, cut in front of you without signaling, etc. And on top of that, they are always talking on a headset...But not sure if that's distracting driving or not.
You should see them drive their huge trailers on Southwest Marine Drive (from Granville to UBC): they think they own the road.
Richmond...
I saw this parking on Red line in Richmond. And it’s at Vancouver Airport parking, 3rd floor. I was shaking my head 🤦🏻♂️
At 1:24 - I work around here and that happens way more often than people realize. Seriously, it's not unusual to see random bits and pieces of car bumpers on the ground over there.
My observation is that the incidents of "Vancouver turns"--drivers who start out in the left turn lane and make their turn into the outer lane--is increasing exponentially.
A couple of days ago, a guy honked at me angrily when I made a left turn correctly, then made my lane change (with signal, of course) a block down the road. He was determined to pass me on the right and was angry that I "cut him off" (as he saw it.)
I think you could probably do a whole video on "Vancouver turns."
That sort of turn is only safe (still not proper) if there is nobody else there. I have seen cars come together on W. Georgia & Hornby when one driver did that while turning left from the leftmost lane of Hornby onto Georgia (into W. Georgia's center lane), while the car in the center lane also turned left from the centre lane of Georgia to the center lane of Georgia. Both drivers doing the wrong thing, ended up with two cars trying to occupy the same space. Dunces !
To give the trucker credit it was pretty foggy and he did an alright job not causing a big accident
1:16 - That barrier is absolutely stupid and unnecessary. If they want it there. Paint it YELLOW or RED so it doesn't blend in with the asphalt.
Good point
Yes, totally unsafe, so I can't blame the guy 100%. Contrast would help, maybe a hazard sign if it is the start of the block. These things do not get fixed unless you complain to a municipal government (including photos).
I guess I'll have to drive to Vancouver just so I can get some clips lol
Anywhere in the Lower Mainland will work haha
I was in that bus when the Volvo got hit! I didn’t see it but I heard it and saw the aftermath. Poor Volvo 😢
Crazy! If that other driver hit the bus you probably wouldn't have even felt it
The white van that got hung up and that barricade. I watched that happen. It was right in front of my workplace. He ripped around the corner and drove straight into that barricade; on his phone the entire time. I made sure to walk up and let him know he wasn't allowed to park there. :)
Similar to the one with the SUV cutting the corner. I saw a truck cut a corner to go in a driveway that was no entrance. To make it worse they went over a medium sized rock that was there for decoration with their tires.
Does Vancouver have the worst drivers in the world?
I’d be scared to be a pedestrian walking around vancouver
Just came back form Italy, I found Vancouver drivers are so awesome!
That cyclist was nuts!
Agreed...he was suppose to slow down as a car would and continue once the car made the turn...but nope cyclists put themselves at risk thinking they can cut corners...hope that biker learned his lesson
Im from ontario but lived in van for a yr..i wasnt driving at that time but drivers tried to run my friend and i over just being on the sidewalk...i drive now and its a toss up between quebec and bc for bad drivers
Congrats on the sponsorship bro!! Such a perfect pairing 👌
Thanks bro
Can’t wait to see the footage from the snow day 🤣
nicely done dude!!
No! Driving on a bloody sidewalk is not okay. At any point some person or CHILD could pop out of nowhere thinking they are safe on the side walk and get killed! Its a gosh darn SIDE WALK not SIDE DRIVE.
Anton's dash camera (last guys vid) is amazing what model/make it is?
The one at 9:05 must live near my house. 22nd and Rupert. The single line of traffic gets backed up the hill, at the light. Right turners are always squeezing by the parked cars.
I keep spare drivers mirrors, for all the families cars.
Can we get some info on what dashcam Anton was using (last video)?! That image quality looked great!
2:47 this is how people drive now like its normal in the nanimo and renfrew/rupert areas now. its so anoying they expect u to run when u have the walk sign up
You should check out White Rock/ South Surrey... You'd have footage for days 🤣😅
If you get footage send it in!
I’m from Squamish and I’ve noticed every time I’m in Vancouver the drivers get worse every time there always a little more pushy and a lot more shouldn’t be able to drive
That first clip alone explains why Icbc is so ridiculously strict and stupid
Most accidents in the video could be stopped if the drivers did NOT proceed while they could clearly see what was coming. I am not saying we should give up our “rights”, but we need to build ‘post’ argument culture here in Canada
unfortunatly those little tinny traffic circles, in the residential areas ... are far to small... even in my pickup truck... I get into the curb I am going to the third turn?? third exit??
what would of been my left turn..
I am a Vancouver native and have been driving in this city for over 50 years.Every bit of negativity directed at Greater Vancouver drivers is warranted.
Our roads are 'littered' with countless drivers who are too timid or overly aggressive in their attempt at making traffic move smoothly and safely.
It really makes you wonder how they got through their government run road test.There have been accounts of payola and by what I see daily I'd say
it's highly likely someone's pocket is getting lined
Someone should go undercover and "try" to get one of these paid licenses without a test. W-5 investigation the whole thing.
Other big elephant in the room: How in the world some of these drivers (you know who exactly) did obtain their licences? In real life they would be not allowed even on skate boards. But no, they are allowed to drive, even try to hide the N sign from behind their Porsches or Mercedeses that they can afford with "legit" professional activity... ah ah.
A friend of mine who immigrated from another country told me he shouldn't have passed his drivers exam and only did because the testing person from ICBC was one of his people basically.
@@jacksonjacob7791 It happens ALL THE TIME. If you show up at the Richmond driving test center, it is mind blowing how ethnic acquaintances and big cheques rule the game. They cannot even use turn signals or understand what a yellow solid line means. And they are SO scared (they know they are a threat to themselves!) when they drive that they leave 3 or 5 meters between vehicles at a full stop: check it out next time...
IF you mean the attitude of impunity, yes, two sorts: those who know mom & dad will pay for a new one no matter what they do, and those whose income is not exactly legal. Among the latter, they already do not care about harming others, so no surprise they drive the same way.
@@jacksonjacob7791 Yup, corruption & informal networks of "alternate" rules is the unspoken thing going on. Sometimes it's who you know, but there are scams going on where other people are paid to do the tests for other people, using fake ID's. IS that checked carefully? Almost never.
5:08 that SUV had a red!! That's bonkers to me.
Agreed!
Man, if I was that pedestrian at 2:55, I’d have to take a moment to stop and scream at the driver. Some people literally need an incident like that to drill it into their brains that they need to LOOK FOR PEDESTRIANS!!! Like holy shit, some people are so unaware. And they probably just drove off saying that pedestrian came out of NOWHERE! When of you just open your eyes and use them, you’d have seen them right there!
I remember there was a video of a guy that jump kicked a car's side view mirror. That's what this pedestrian should've done lol.
@@Gyissan lmao that would have been priceless!
The police need to concentrate on this sort of oblivious/dangerous stuff, not speeding. They crack down on speeding because it is quantifiable and they can go to court with a measurement. Demonstrating someone is unsafe in other ways becomes more subjective (cop's word against defendant). However, that was before dashcams existed - now they could take evidence of unsafe conduct to court with video evidence, so they should crack down on this sort of ridiculous shit. Roam around, picking off people who do the really stupid things.
Also, ICBC should be giving people discounts for having dashcams on their car, and newer cars should come with dashcams built in (not hard for manufacturers to do since their safety features incorporate cameras already).
As for this particular video:
- Both cyclist incidents were the cyclist's fault.
- I've seen people drive on sidewalks and grass multiple too. Two types of driver there: oblivious idiots or scumbags.
- Having worked at the airport, I can tell you those red area are not clear enough. Many people do not know what it means, when it is a kind of marking used nowhere else. They should just paint "NO PARKING" on it in large letters too.
- How do people have this "stopping at red lights is optional" attitude? Nobody teaches that, do they?
- Same goes for turning across other lanes of traffic to make a turn, or just presuming you can make a double turn lane where there isn't one.
- Authorities need to investigate corrupt practices at driving schools, especially the truck schools. (The flatbed incident is just more evidence; truckers used to be safer drivers than average, but lately, worse than the average.)
ICBC needs to get their heads out of their asses and start living in the 21st century. Give a reward to people sending in videos like these, and penalize the numbskulls who are driving like idiots. Better yet, take away people's licenses, especially those who drive on the wrong side of the road.
Old Volvo's, especially 240's, are tanks
Definitely more damage to the car that hit the Volvo
There’re tooooooo many ridiculous driver in Metro Vancouver now a day 😓
Some of the drivers recording and submitting these videos need to take advantage of the Atlas Driving school. Just because you have the right of way doesn’t mean you need to drive into the car in front of you 🤦🏻
love the color of that Frontier @ 7:39
Need help though. I was in a minor accident on marine. The opposite driver is lying now and its 50 50 now. Didn't had my dascam on me. If anyone saw it please come forward. November 3 around 3:30pm
I honked so hard and that Mach-e still hit the Volvo. She wasn't even looking
Maybe she was on her phone
@@DogsSnipes I don't think so, just couldn't see behind the bus and was only looking right when she pulled out.
3:56 in all fairness it seemed super foggy out. Hard to predict turn offs in thick fog.
When I lived in Vancouver, I never drove unless I had to. Godawful drivers.
Agreed! I don't even know why people drive super cars here it'll only be a matter of time before they get hit
The van at 1:20 looks so cozy 😂
Just Richmond things, you know? Lol!
I love watching dash cam videos and point out terrible drivers. But at the base of the problem are gouvernements + corporations create a system where not driving is complicated, and most people have to drive get to most places, you get situations like this happening at a high rate. We need less space dedicated to cars and more to active and public transport to encourage these much less dangerous forms of transportation for the masses.
Drivers throughout this country have terrible driving habits, it’s a me attitude. Nobody knows what a STOP sign is.
Did you not know this is a sidewalk 🤦🤦🤦🤦
If u are driving Richmond u have to have double I glasses 😂😂😂
1:00: Having an L sticker on your car and not being a learner while doing something stupid on the road is actually super dangerous and mind boggling on a whole other level. THIS PERSON IS TEACHING A KID HOW TO DRIVE! Sure, not at this very instant, but I don't believe for a second they become a better driver when their "student" (presumably their own child) is present. - No wonder Vancouver drivers are atrocious. They learn from the best...errrr...worst. 😂
I have no Problem with the 1st Clips as Pedestrians are forever walking in the Driving Lanes... Plus the Driving Lanes have been Commandeered by Bike Lanes
@2:05 YES!!! EXCELLENT!!! I LOVE IT!!!!
@2:40 What is that, a God Damn Effin Bike Lane?
@3:12 I've hit Pedestrians doing that, they were Charged
@3:34 The Cop is at Fault, even with Lights and Sirens, they don't have the Right of Way, at least in Alberta
@8:14 If the Head Restraint was set Properly, there should be no Danger of Whiplash
how do you enter for the blackbox?
All you have to do is have your footage featured on my channel and you're entered! Email is vancouverdrivingvideos@outlook.com
Fuel is expensive that's why I save 10 m worth of distance by going the wrong way in a traffic circle 😭😭😭
Yeah no, don't take up drinking, haha
8:48 You can go miles in this city with a blinker on and no one will give way. In fact, there are jackasses out there that will speed up to fill the gap as soon as the blinker comes on. Nope, no one is getting ahead of me attitude. I get why the PT Cruiser did that.
this comment is from before the premier but I can already tell the 2 wheels is at fault.
For the truck driver in the fog is supposed to be professional our laws dont enforce the majority of bad apples that cant drive.Im pretty sure the person was on the phone while driving.
Don't get hurt in accident you have no insurance ICBC doesn't care about people well being .I was hurt in accident in October sent Dash footage ,icbc literally gives you 6 different people to deal with won't help with your lost wages and acts like you are the problem
To be fair, the painted...whatever that is at 5:30 is vehicle width and completely unmarked as to its real purpose. It's bad design. Paint a pedestrian or even just some crosshatching over it and that will solve the problem (mostly, guy in the first clip would definitely still see it as roadway).
2:00 Cyclist tail gating and speeding up got him good :P
People think I'm crazy for spending $142 each for my bike tires after tax, my bike would not slip where that first guy did! Hand made Vittoria Corsa all the way! Plus they are ratted for 4 seasons. The older you get, the faster you seem to hit the road!
Why do pedestrian have to look both way when crossing road? I think it would be very smart if drivers learn to look both way coming into a stops and intersection!
Has no fault insurance enabled bad driving?
No fault insurance only refers to medical claims. There's still fault assigned for accidents and premiums go up just like before
Yeah, it is just the total lack of rules enforcement other than speeding.
That poor volvo!
Use to work on Main Street thee amount of cyclists that would run into opening car doors is insane, there’s legit a bike path a block behind Main Street
Bikers are menace to the society
They cyclist was riding a fixed gear bike and probably didn’t have brakes as well. If he had brakes he would have scrubbed off enough speed to not hit the evo
If he knew how to ride a fixed gear better he could have slowed down enough anyway.
So painful to see those idi.......driving........
At least the sunset was nice 🤷♀️ (7:25)
Dear Canadians; from the USA here. What's with the flashing green traffic lights? I haven't been up to BC in 25 years.
Basically the flashing green light means you can proceed as usual, a solid green means it's going to turn yellow soon. Thanks for watching!
flashing green usually means its activated by a crosswalk.
Pedestrian activated intersection
I find this confusing too because at least in Ontario Canada a flashing green means you have right of way for a left hand turn. I'm pretty sure the laws are the same country wide though, so I'm going to look it up.
BC should make any foreign drivers to retake the drivers test. People with international drivers license that get a full license swapped here in BC are like a ticking time bomb.
Very simple: if you do not hold a driver's licence from the US, you must retake the test. Enough of these morons in their luxury cars who think that a STOP sign means slow down.
@@farid7838 They think they above that, just arrogant and clearly stupid.
@@bogdan9057 Agreed! Arrogant (they think they can buy their way out), stupid (taking their Tesla to gas stations, as I witnessed it), and frankly dangerous on the roads.
It doesn't matter. Even the police know that the Driving test instructors get bribes to give a pass. Wouldn't be surprised if its a few grand in cash for each pass.
ICBC has been requiring retest inorder to get class 5 license for atleast the past 5 years that I know of.
Do you have police there or they just gave up on this? :D
If only North America had good reliable public transportation system and separated bike lanes.
They are not cops.
Drive as though you have a full cup of coffee without a lid on in the cup holder
I'd rather you just hurry tf and stay out of the way
@@joshanderson924 sometimes due to unforeseen circumstances an individual may be in your way and of no fault of their own… so they wouldn’t be able to that’s why stress driving cautiously rather than feel as though things are in my way, very tiresome.
@@vicariouswitness People without confidence on the road shouldn't be on the road. Being a safe driver isn't difficult and the rules are simple to follow. Stay out of the passing lane so others can get where they need to go. The majority of traffic is caused by entitled nervous drivers who think they have the right to obstruct the road. More traffic and more volume equates to more risk and danger.
@@joshanderson924 your singing to the choir pal
@@vicariouswitness I couldn't give AF less if you can drive without spilling a coffee, just get tf out of my way and we're good is what I'm saying pal
Worst driver is world wide
ottawa drivers seem worse than ever right now
Am I the only one who would've ran across the highway to pick up that dolley that fell
That's very nice of you but I wouldn't personally I would call it in. Just too risky getting injured or losing your life!
You should watch your english. At 4:02 you seem to be implying that truckers in general are not professional due to the actions of this truck. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that that is not what you meant but it's very bad form on your part.
Only in Fucking Richmond
evo driver= evil driver
3:30 what do you mean unfair for other driver? Police car at fault. Probably you don’t have clue what are you talking about.
I hope the vpd and rcmp are watching your channel.... and I hope I don't see myself making a mistake on your channel... lol.. cringe. I hope not
Why do cyclist and pedestrians were black
3:09 pretty good example of why you shouldn't go around honking your horn at random people even if they're in the wrong unless you're ready for the potential smoke. Some people were just born ready and take that horn the same way they take a middle finger 🤷♂️
A good reminder to always have a tire-iron or crowbar at hands reach in the car.
@@Gyissan as long as you're prepared for the next guy to potentially have a bigger, badder equalizer and less inhibitions towards using it.
5:56 You think they’re cops based on what exactly? Seems like you said that just so you’d have something to rant about.
Too many foreign people who do not know the rules
Sorry but, The colour commentary wasn't good. I tried to mute it but turned it back on and regretted it.
Good luck with your channel.
100% asian driving
I can't believe that the narrator, as a commentator on driving habits and culture, did not condemn the absolutely disgusting behaviour of the Hyundai at 8:49. If someone is trying to get into the lane you're in (not 'your' lane; lanes don't belong to people), you make space and let them in! Doesn't matter if they're in the wrong. Doing what that Hyundai did is dangerous, self-righteous, petty behaviour.
Consider this: The Cruiser driver is not familiar with this area and notices at this moment that they're not in the lane to where they need to go. To get behind the Hyundai, they would have to slow down too much in their lane. The Hyundai could show some courtesy and make the situation easier and safer for everyone. What a dick!
I don't do road rage, but I do feel anger when I see situations like this. And I can rage in this comments section.
People need to do some driving in other countries/cultures, where the roads are shared not 'owned.' Vancouverites are so entitled.
I understand your point that you should be courteous but if the person isn't letting you into their lane you should just leave your signal on and wait for the next car to let you in. Don't try to force your way in because that's not courteous either.
You have to let people merge, the Hyundai driver would get the bill if he submitted that dash cam footage.
Well it's a solid white line so it was illegal for the other car to cross there. Plus that lane doesn't merge into the other it continues along Marine Drive and the other one goes into Richmond/New West
@@vancouversworstdrivers Well good luck in court driving like that and getting into an accident that was easily avoidable is all I am saying.
@@atodaso1668 not how that works lol

Roads are for vehicles not bikes.
Bikes are still technically vehicles, but they still have to follow the rules of the road which include "Don't run into other people."
that is simply not true and highlights what the real problem is for people on bicycles.
Tell me you don’t ride a bike without telling me you don’t ride a bike.
Sidewalks are for pedestrians not cars
Very incorrect
Don't be worried about the Volvo, those things are tanks
