@@retpok718 ohh brother, as people prefer walk than get behind the wheel myself u just haven't slightest idea how many this happen to me Mostly by SUV and MPV
Love even more when they are on a super heavy truck and I just so happen to try to pass them again right before a corner. Their 3T of truck will either roll, slam the brakes or whatever, while I barely lift on my 1T 1.0L shitbox

About the seatbelt thing, I've said it before, and I'll say it again, of course there is nothing more manly than dying in a car crash at like 20mph that everyone else involved was just able to walk away from unharmed
That should be written on the gravestone on any dumb idiot who thinks a not wearing a belt makes them manly. "Haha this dumbass died from a crash slower than what a 6-year old on a Skateboarder can survive. Should've fucking worn the belt idiot"
This is your daily reminder that being safe on the road, properly disposing of trash, and giving pedestrians and cyclists plenty of space are all very manly things to do
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I'm saying this because the people who don't think these things are manly make it the reasoning they use to do them. This is your daily reminder that you have to speak to what they care about ;)
If someone tries to go without a seatbelt I quickly go out of my way to show them why they need one. They tend to buckle up in a hurry, and realize that mustangs don't have the oh-s*** handle.
My Z06 has the Oh Shit Handle molded into the center console area, but so many passengers hopelessly reach towards the roof on their first time. They appreciate the dual oh shit handles the next ride though😂
I remember I once asked a friend in the backseat of my GTI to put on his seatbelt. He said it would be fine. After a single left turn in a 25 zone, he buckled up.
In 15 years behind the wheel, I never once drove without the seat belt. And it has nothing to do with safety, nor with cops and tickets. It's just much more comfortable to drive through the curves when you are held in place by the belt, instead of having your ass slide left and right, making your feet less in control of the pedals, which makes the driving and shifting less smooth and jerky.
For bikes, the helmet is the equivalent. It's there for your safety. But there's too many bikers who refuse helmet and saying the same kind of lines like people riding cars who refuse to wear seatbelts.
kinda reminds me of driving an automatic after dailying a manual. I have almost thrown a moving car into reverse many times that way. never got far enough to know if autos have a safety lockout or something for that though.
I always thought the whole "no seatbelts we die like men" thing was a joke. It wouldn't surprise me to get pulled over for speeding while using the passing lane to pass in my local area. As for number 4, I've seen the trash off the side of the road, I seen garbage-strewn interiors, and my question is always the same, "Do you not posses a wal-mart bag?"

@@bonda_racing3579 when most pop off the roads, we can kiss our internal combustion engnines goodbye unless porsche hurries up and makes their solution cheaper.
4:35 Here in Germany, its the law to put on your hazards if you are coming to a stop all of a sudden in the highway. It makes a huge difference too to safety. You're going 100+ mph on one hand then you see a sea of yellow and it immediately gets you to slow down.
From the south here, you're 100% on point with the non car guy southerners bragging about crazy they drive, but the moment a single rain drop hits the ground it's safety vests, high-viz camo and crawling on the highway in their lifted RAM trucks.

Every time I see a bicycle on the road or a guy walking close to the road I try to stay as far away as possible from those mfs I'm not trying to catch a lawsuit if I hit them because they lost control of their bike and swerved into my car or if they trip and fall in front of my car
^^^^^^^^^THIS. I can never tell if they suddenly fall over and almost every court case rules in favor of cyclists or pedestrians. So I'mma go on with my day, and leave them be!
I've seen it happen when I was a kid, some dude in an s10 blazer honked at a bicyclist, and startled the bicyclist. This blazer was RIGHT NEXT to the bicyclist with no space and the startled bicyclist fell over onto the blazer. The blazer had a whole open lane to his left the whole time he could've swerved into to provide the bicyclist was space. The cop behind the blazer immediately pulled him over lol It's sad that idiots will go out of their way to mess with non cars that are sharing the road. Just leave the pedestrians alone. If a bicyclist is slowing you down, just slow down, wait for a safe opportunity to pass, then carry on with your day. It's not the end of the world if you're slowed for a couple minutes sheesh
@@BladedAngel another nugget to add, at least here in California (don't know if the same law is in other states), a new law that went into effect in 2023 is that instead of just moving over slightly, when possible your now supposed to merge into the next lane over when passing a pedestrian/cyclist
'most of this people doesnt even want to get behind wheel, world peace can be achived if u guys provide good public transport' That hit me right in the soul 😢
Unfortunately in my experience (in Sydney Australia) public transport doesn't really eliminate the last one, rather there are some sad people out there who will actively try to hit the biggest puddle and drench everyone waiting at the bus stop for the jollies.
I will admit I once drove a perfectly functioning automobile on the freeway at about 3 miles per hour with the hazards on. In my defense, I was in some extremely dense fog and I couldn't see the road over the hood. I had to lean out the window to see the lines. As I was making my way to my hotel for the night, State Patrol passed by me. He was doing 5.
Boy the moment you mentioned speed matching, I had my head in my hands. I see that more often when I am traveling with my mom or dad and they are trying to pass someone. The car they are trying pass either speeds up or slow down for some reason not letting them pass. Also going back to the first entry, I have ridden in Ubers before and have sometimes notice that the driver doesn't wear a seatbelt. I gave them a 1 star for the ride because of their own safety
Lmao imagine fucking with somebody's source of income and livelihood because they made a personal choice that doesn't affect you in any way. Wear your seat belt tho kids, nobody's gonna want to kiss you when your face is disfigured from you skidding across the pavement (because anybody dumb enough to drive without a seat belt Will get into an accident at some point)
2:55 Okay, but I have driven through rain so harsh that you basically had to slog forward at 10 mph, I put my hazards on in situations only when I think the rain is too dense for other drivers to see me, if its anything short of reaching the Saffir-Simpson Scale, they stay off unless I'm on the side of the road, I still agree with the statement of when they have them on in light-moderate rain.
@@able_archer01 He gets really scared when being the passenger seat and will complain if I'm on the phone for a second to change a song, but when he is driving he would write a whole paragraph on his phone while the truck is swerving from side to side. I've yet to understand how he thinks like that.
@@Hrosas2001 My mom is similar. When I'm behind the wheel, the only thing in her head is anxiety, having nearly *caused* me to crash a couple times by freaking out during normal traffic while I'm as attentive as I can be with someone screaming bloody murder right next to me. But when she's behind the wheel, she will take her phone out to text, post on Facebook, and even take a picture of the sunset out the passenger side of the car while we're on a bridge.
Every time I hear about how a minor inconvenience threatens some guy's masculinity, I start wondering how close to the line they think they are. "Does it invert if you click that seat belt?"
I absolutely agree with you on littering, and I have a good story about it. About 2 months before the pandemic hit my area, I was in a gas station parking lot parked next to some jackass in a V-6 Mustang, and the jackass tosses his cup into the ditch behind us. So I got out of my F-150 really pissed off, picked it up, and silently handed it back to him while glaring at him directly in the eyes, and of course he's freaked the fuck out by this 6'3"/190cm and 300lb/136kg sasquatch in steel toed boots who's ready to strangle him for being a dumbfuck, and you know what his piss poor excuse for littering was? "Oh, I didn't see you there, boss." Honestly, I still can't believe that was his excuse for littering, but I made sure he walked his lazy ass to the trashcan 25 feet away while glaring at him the entire time until he drove away a few minutes later. I usually go out of my way to avoid picking fights, but I felt like a total badass for a week for setting him straight without uttering a single word from my mouth.
I'm a car salesman in an area where not many people wear seat belts. Most of my customers don't wear seat belts, and some even complain and/or view it as distrust when I do during test drives with them. I even had one guy request I unbuckle mine after I put mine on.
The first one is definitely the most important one, if you’re not wearing a seatbelt, YOU GET A COP TICKET!!! So always buckle up before turning the keys or hitting the button.
The worst thing I’ve experienced about the drivers in my area are people who merge or swap lanes without a turn signal, especially when there’s only a cars length of space between the person in front and me. It annoys me but I always remind myself it’s better to let it go and give them some space to avoid accidents.
That is true. Especially if there turning and a pedestrian wants to cross. If the turn signal ain't on and the section doesn't necessarily indicate it a turn section. Well it can lead to undesirable outcomes for both pedestrian and driver.
I will be going 80 and leaving a decent buffer space with the car in front of me only for some SUV to jump the gap and follow the car in front of them by 20 feet.
The worst non blinker users are that ones at green lights (not green arrows) that don’t use a blinker when they’re waiting for traffic to clear to turn left at the light so you can’t tell if they wanna turn left or if they’re fuckin with you.
I live in Kansas city and people here have something against using turn signals. Seriously, if you're going to cut me off, at least use your turn signal. It's the little sticky thing on the left.
i will never not wear a seatbelt unless i have no option. i was involved in a crash and ever since ive had bad anxiety driving or being in a car. i absolutely love driving, but it makes me nervous. having my seatbelt is very important to me
I got in an argument with multiple people recently. They were complaining about getting tickets for not wearing their seatbelt, and I was just fucking baffled as to why they don't just use it. Put your seatbelt on, there's no reason not to. I've had people refuse to buckle up or even unbuckle mid-drive after I told them I won't drive them anywhere if they don't put it on. If you take it off, I will leave your ass on the side of whatever road you took it off on. I left a friend on the highway because he refused to put it back on, I truly do not understand. I've been in accidents before, had I not been wearing a belt I'd have went flying out the windshield.
@@theomiado7954 I thought this was common, with car guys it is, we have too nice of a car to smash constantly for insurance claims... Shame most commuters get road rage _over a literal pedestrian on the sidewalk_
Hazards are fine if the rain is so heavy you can barely see a car length or two ahead of you. It could cut down on possible accidents when you cant see in front of you
Only time I drove with hazards constantly on is when I had to go to the store in the middle of a massive snowstorm. Hit a massive black ice patch and was just like "OOOOOK fuck that" cus I wasn't about to total a 50 thousand dollar Stinger when it was about 15 degrees outside
I know people who use hazards to both say thanks to other drivers that let them on Motorways (highways) or one that I do is use hazards to check your turn signals are working fine
Mostly I use one quick click of hazard lights to thank other driver who let me pass them (usually semi-trucks, when they flash a right turn signal to inform me that it's safe to pass) or when I go to full stop on highway (traffic jam, accident and etc.)
The only time I've been in a group of cars using hazard lights was when it was raining so bad that you'd lose traction over 35mph, and visibility was shit. I felt attacked by Bladed's take, but wasn't sure if that's the kind of rain he was talking about.
@@jackpresley3254 note that motorways and highways are different. Maybe you knew it, but some people think these are just US and UK terms for the same thing. They are different.
Damn near every car on the road today has a cruise control button that will never be pressed. It's reverse speed matching. Three out of every 4 cars I pass uphill with cc set at 70 will blow my doors off on the downhill
Thank you for mentioning one of my biggest pet peeves as a truck driver: if I'm passing you, don't speed up to keep me from passing, if you're passing me, then f-ing pass me. And if you do pass me, don't cut in front of me just to slow back down.
I think car culture getting progressively more boring is also a fault of over car dependency and the non-car guys ur talking about. They aren’t symbols of amazing engineering and immense luxury as much anymore. They’re becoming more like bandaids for the egos of dumbasses. Because of how much people need them, they have become as much of a consumer good as clothes and phones
Yeah...they're becoming Status Symbol Appliances just like iPhones. Now we inherited the same specsheet nerds from those communities, but instead of arguing DROID VS. IPHONE it's all THIS CAR VS. THAT CAR. YOUR CAR SUCKS. I NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR EVERY YEAR AND RUIN THE CAR PRICES BECUZ OF IT!
Absolutely. As a car enthusiast I very much appreciate good public transport and bike lanes. My trip to Europe this year was amazing and the insanely good subways, trains, and bike lanes were really nice. We need those here so non-car people have the option to not drive cars
You always “nail it” with your videos. I didn’t realize you had a bike as we’ll definitely going to check out that content. I put 20k + on my bike last year and I’m so sick of dealing with everything that you address. Another one that drives me crazy is that there is always that car lingering in the left lane 45 degrees behind me, two car lengths back, no matter how l adjust my speed, as l go in and out of the passing lane going around cars.

Had a friend who kinda had the mindset of the first clip, after several accidents and lots of head trauma he now wears his seatbelt in the passenger seat
Pretty much the same with my friend as well. Boy loves to drive fast and all that a car enthusiast would do. But the moment I put on the seatbelts, he'll start laughing at me for wearing one. Like bro, why laugh at someone for wearing their seatbelts? Heck, even the professional and street racers wear their seatbelts. Guess they never felt the feeling of getting their face flattened on the steering wheel or the dashboard until they did a sudden, hard brake (or just hard braking while blasting corners).
That last comment you made is soooo true! My mother bought a 2023 Toyota 4Runner and wanted to put offroading shit like a winch on it, not realizing that the suspension needs to be changed because of how heavy it is, that she'd have to buy a new bumper to carry it, and how useless a winch would be. The only time she went offroading was when she took her Rav4 onto the beach years ago. The mentality of these SUV owners is ridiculous
Then the drivers in your area must be really great. But in my area there is a belief that "only the driver is supposed to wear seat belts" but I always wear seatbelt no matter if I'm sitting in the front passenger seat or the back seat but every often someone always insists me to "just enjoy your freedom as a passenger and don't waste it wearing a seatbelt" or "are you scared that we'll get a ticket? Ha! No chance!" Like seriously I'm wearing I'm it for my safety not for the fear of getting pulled over. And other times when I insist my mom to wear seatbelt she will always say "don't worry son, your father is a great driver nothing will happen to us" ok my father is a great driver not lies in that but others aren't and nowhere does it says that you aren't supposed to wear seatbelt when a good driver is behind the wheel. I don't know when are stupid beliefs like these will perish from this beautiful world of god.
@@WakanaGojo86 when did you reply I didn’t even see, but idk… and my drivers are good?? He’ll naw. Also when your father said he’s a great driver is a bit arrogant lol, a seatbelt is a ticketable offense. By great driver he needs to define that, Is he a good driver o maths road, if so he’s not a good driver he’s average, does he take is car to the track, does he drive it hard, does he drift, then that makes him a good driver. A regular guy with a drivers licsme is just an average driver. There is no such thing as a good driver unless you take it to the track or if your a race car driver

there's a section of road near my neighbourhood, and its a sort of hilly road that leads to the rest of the city. every now and again when i go past it, i'll see some guy throw a fast food bag and it makes my blood BOIL
@@BladedAngel Ok SUV's have their times and places. Most people have no real use for one, but the are some scenarios like my family where we lived outside the city and used it for hauling construction materials, off roading, towinh trailers big and small, and filling them with people to boot (my family is large enough to fill all but Excursion class SUVs). They are also good for hauling tires, wheels (needed this for a recent encounter with an epic patch of ice with my 'stang in summer config), engines (just used one to pickup an engine for a 'stang that we are rebuilding for my sibling), lawn mowing equipment, AND MANY MORE.
That second one is so true. I absolutely hate the fact that traffic slows down significantly when light rain is in the area. I’m from Dallas, and everyone goes from an average speed of anywhere between 70-80mph to 55 on major highways because of rain
That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the drainage on the highways isn't good enough to manage that level of rain effectively enough. Even in light rain you can still hydroplane if there isn't enough drainage and you're going too fast
There was a policeman in Serbia who literally told my parents about 10+ years ago that he saw situations where seatbelt saved the life and when seatbelt was the reason people died and that he doesn't write tickets for seatbelts.
People driving 15 under with hazards is annoying, but I honestly prefer it to the alternative - people going at their usual speed and crashing. I've witnessed 2 highway pileups in my life and both could've been only minor incidents if people simply slowed down and paid attention instead of flooring it when the car ahead is barely visible. Also, in my town I've seen people use hazard lights during bad traffic as"I can turn anywhere at any time" turn signal. Its super annoying, I've been cut off by them more times than I can count
Just yesterday a brand new Escalade was going 30mph on the highway in some decent rain with some limited visibility but not a real issue. No rear lights on at all. No hazards. Almost caused a huge car pileup
Crashes in bad weather are usually the case of following distance, not absolute speed. In fact, even in good weather people don't have proper following distance. It's almost like most people suck at driving and never went on a track to actually learn the limits of braking and traction.
@@HaloDude557 most of the time yeah, but whenever I see people going 50+mph on a highway when the fog is so dense that you can't see more than maybe 25ft ahead I just have to shake my head. There are numerous videos of that exact thing causing pileups. One second you are driving in what appears to be a totally clear road at a "safe" speed for handling the car and then the next second there are 20+ cars all crushed up and blocking the whole road in a huge accident that you have absolutely zero time to react to. That's not a case of following distance, that's a case of too much absolute speed
@@ambiguousheadline8263 no? You need space to react and stop. That is why following distance is important. If you literally cannot see in front of you due to visibility, you should assume there is a car stopped there and create buffer space for potential emergency braking.
@@HaloDude557 kinda hard to create space when the fog/dense rain/blizzard/etc is completely surrounding the entire area. You are correct that you assume there is a car, that is precisely why people going so fast in those conditions is stupid. But there is no way to "create space" you just need to reduce absolute speed to be able to brake quicker
Sometimes it's cheaper to use ride sharing or public transportation than your own car in California. With apartment parking, you can have one car and still not be guaranteed a spot at night. Leaving your car on red (like half the neighbors) is a 60 dollar fine, finding parking after work and going to the grocery store? Uber there and back is 30...
Since I remember myself, my dad won't start driving until everyone puts their seatbelt on. Even the "it's only 5 minutes" guys end up doing it eventually like how hard could it be to put a safety strap on so that you don't shoot out of the window like a frickin rocket missile in case of even a 40km/h crash
Im currently learning to drive and in driving schools here in germany (at least i would guess that similar things happen in other schools) they got some stories of "its just 5 minutes" that ended 6ft under or in the hospital, especially the motorcycle ones where they dont wear a helmet or anything at all really (just swimming trunks in one example... )
"Don't base your entire personality on wearing a seatbelt" *Proceeds to spend three minute talking about what type of person you are if you don't wear one.* 😆
I agree with most points. Regarding SUVs though, in my honest opinion these things are just big and ugly with barely any benefit. And somehow so many people in the world are so insecure about themselves that they bought one too. They're not even meant to go "off-road". Only as "off-road" as a dusty farm road but that's about it. They're a joke of a vehicle, especially with the American wobble suspension.
Many years ago I used to hear people say, "I was in an accident and if I'd been wearing my seatbelt I would've been killed." To which I countered with, " I can recount 3 near accidents I have been in that would have been accidents if I hadn't been wearing my seatbelt." To which they had nothing coherent to say.
@@hikkamoriias a car person, I always make sure to shut other people’s cars doors by using the least amount of force, and wearing a seatbelt 100% of the time
How about people driving on bald or dry rotted tires? Just yesterday, I saw 3 different cars with bald tires. No amount of safety tech can stop your car from crashing if the thing that connects you to the road is worn out.
I've never seen anyone using hazards in the rain where I live in Texas. The biggest issue I have is a lot of people around here don't turn on their lights in the fog no matter how dense it is and then they'll drive like 30-40 in a 55 and you don't see them until you're 10 feet from their bumper.
Its like that here in New Mexico too. Rain or fog. Couldn’t see 20 ft past my hood but I’d see some headlights practically in the back window of my car.
My biggest pet peeve is ppl who will get absolutely financially screwed over by a car company and then buy from that same company AGAIN after their pos car blew up at 50 thousand miles. Ppl like that are the reason why cars companies DO NOT care about engineering dependability.
If you're a cyclist or pedestrian, look the driver in the eye. If they meet your gaze they know you exist and everyone does the right thing. If they don't lock eyes with you, prepare for evasive maneuvers. I've been at crossings, began crossing and had the time to do an air kick to get their attention because they've not locked eyes with you.
I guess I'm guilty here. From where I'm from everyone drives 5-10mph faster than the speed limit. So when I drive the actual speed limit I became the "slow" one.
@02:54 Actually, in Europe you are _supposed_ to decrease speed if "the road is wet": 1. Below some speed limit signs, there is a supplementary table saying "among wet conditions" 2. In Luxembourg you are supposed to drive 110 km/h on the highway, if it it is wet. 3. In germany people take the gas immediately off on the highway, to 80 km/h if the road is wet - regardless if there are signs for it. Germans are instructed to this in the driving school. Under wet circumstances, the traction is 47% of that under normal conditions - meaning longer brake distance. This is why.
The hazard in rain thing is understandable if it is really heavy downpour and at night, that mix makes it almost impossible to see the taillight of the guy infront, but in light rain, its just silly to use hazards
I remember seeing a woman driving some sort of cadillac crossover of some sort texting and driving on the highway drifting onto the shoulder with her rear windshield bashed out covered with lawn bags or something lol
@BladedAngel One of the most infuriating things I come across way too often (that you didn't mention in the here but is easily a video by itself), distracted driving. My feelings towards that is summed up very well by this James May quote from Top Gear news: "I want to put their head in a brown paper bag & bludgeon them to death with a blunt end of an axe."
Women for whom driving barely makes it in to the top 5 of things to do whilst driving, behind activities such as applying make-up, eating, using phones, screaming at kids in the back, origami etc
That’s one good thing about driving in France : imagine, you’re speeding and one of those mf on the passing lane on the extreme left is blocking, you put blinkers to the left, the driver in front understand and lets you keep speeding, that’s so nice (i mean they could just not be on the lane but it’s better than nothing)
"REAL MEN DO NOT BREATH" would be even more useful. And put the sign "REAL MEN USE GILLS TO BREATHE" as a bonus, to make sure those who're stupid enough to follow through and actually succeed could be further investigated by area 51 laboratory researchers, to help International countries research polluted marine life.

"Haha this dumbass died from a crash slower than what a 6-year old on a Skateboarder can survive. Should've fucking worn the belt idiot"
@@BladedAngel bro came back just to comment over a year later. mad respect, I'd sub twice if I could
These idiots believe dying a stupid, super avoidable death is somehow manly.
Also, it just straight up keeps you in place better. Trying to drive hard without a seatbelt is like being flung around by a giant in Skyrim.

This is your daily reminder that being safe on the road, properly disposing of trash, and giving pedestrians and cyclists plenty of space are all very manly things to do
They aren't particularly manly or unmanly. Pro tip: not everything in life has to be one or the other. Some things are just basic human functions.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 I'm saying this because the people who don't think these things are manly make it the reasoning they use to do them. This is your daily reminder that you have to speak to what they care about ;)
I hate cyclists who go on the road when there is a bicycle lane on the sidewalk
If someone tries to go without a seatbelt I quickly go out of my way to show them why they need one. They tend to buckle up in a hurry, and realize that mustangs don't have the oh-s*** handle.
My Z06 has the Oh Shit Handle molded into the center console area, but so many passengers hopelessly reach towards the roof on their first time.
They appreciate the dual oh shit handles the next ride though😂
"oh shit handles"

Nothing like the good old dashboard kiss.
looks at my corvette, ya dont really have one of those
I remember I once asked a friend in the backseat of my GTI to put on his seatbelt. He said it would be fine. After a single left turn in a 25 zone, he buckled up.
In 15 years behind the wheel, I never once drove without the seat belt. And it has nothing to do with safety, nor with cops and tickets. It's just much more comfortable to drive through the curves when you are held in place by the belt, instead of having your ass slide left and right, making your feet less in control of the pedals, which makes the driving and shifting less smooth and jerky.
Sometimes I look down on my bike thinking “where’s my seatbelt?”
Reading this made me blow more air out of nose than usual.
For bikes, the helmet is the equivalent. It's there for your safety. But there's too many bikers who refuse helmet and saying the same kind of lines like people riding cars who refuse to wear seatbelts.
kinda reminds me of driving an automatic after dailying a manual. I have almost thrown a moving car into reverse many times that way. never got far enough to know if autos have a safety lockout or something for that though.
Hahahaha like how am I secured to this

Here in the Netherlands the fine for not wearing a seatbelt goes to the person who's not wearing it. Which I think is a fair rule.
Same in Germany as long as the one not wearing it is an adult. In case you take kids in your car it’s your responsibility to tell them in Germany.
In many states in the US now the seat belt ticket goes to the idiot not wearing one
That's most US states as well.
Same here in UK, as long as the passenger is 14 or over.
Here in the UK it’s not illegal to not wear a seatbelt, if your car is old and doesn’t have one

4:35 Here in Germany, its the law to put on your hazards if you are coming to a stop all of a sudden in the highway. It makes a huge difference too to safety. You're going 100+ mph on one hand then you see a sea of yellow and it immediately gets you to slow down.
From the south here, you're 100% on point with the non car guy southerners bragging about crazy they drive, but the moment a single rain drop hits the ground it's safety vests, high-viz camo and crawling on the highway in their lifted RAM trucks.

This blazer was RIGHT NEXT to the bicyclist with no space and the startled bicyclist fell over onto the blazer. The blazer had a whole open lane to his left the whole time he could've swerved into to provide the bicyclist was space. The cop behind the blazer immediately pulled him over lol
It's sad that idiots will go out of their way to mess with non cars that are sharing the road. Just leave the pedestrians alone. If a bicyclist is slowing you down, just slow down, wait for a safe opportunity to pass, then carry on with your day. It's not the end of the world if you're slowed for a couple minutes sheesh
@@BladedAngel another nugget to add, at least here in California (don't know if the same law is in other states), a new law that went into effect in 2023 is that instead of just moving over slightly, when possible your now supposed to merge into the next lane over when passing a pedestrian/cyclist

I will admit I once drove a perfectly functioning automobile on the freeway at about 3 miles per hour with the hazards on. In my defense, I was in some extremely dense fog and I couldn't see the road over the hood. I had to lean out the window to see the lines. As I was making my way to my hotel for the night, State Patrol passed by me. He was doing 5.
Boy the moment you mentioned speed matching, I had my head in my hands. I see that more often when I am traveling with my mom or dad and they are trying to pass someone. The car they are trying pass either speeds up or slow down for some reason not letting them pass. Also going back to the first entry, I have ridden in Ubers before and have sometimes notice that the driver doesn't wear a seatbelt. I gave them a 1 star for the ride because of their own safety

Every time I hear about how a minor inconvenience threatens some guy's masculinity, I start wondering how close to the line they think they are.

A fire chief I know always says: "A hero driver usually is a dead driver."
And that holds true for not wearing seatbelts especially.
I absolutely agree with you on littering, and I have a good story about it. About 2 months before the pandemic hit my area, I was in a gas station parking lot parked next to some jackass in a V-6 Mustang, and the jackass tosses his cup into the ditch behind us. So I got out of my F-150 really pissed off, picked it up, and silently handed it back to him while glaring at him directly in the eyes, and of course he's freaked the fuck out by this 6'3"/190cm and 300lb/136kg sasquatch in steel toed boots who's ready to strangle him for being a dumbfuck, and you know what his piss poor excuse for littering was? "Oh, I didn't see you there, boss."
Honestly, I still can't believe that was his excuse for littering, but I made sure he walked his lazy ass to the trashcan 25 feet away while glaring at him the entire time until he drove away a few minutes later. I usually go out of my way to avoid picking fights, but I felt like a total badass for a week for setting him straight without uttering a single word from my mouth.
i can confirm this is a great reason to feel badass lmao
Yeah this happened tough guy
You know what's more manly than littering? Picking up the litter and giving back to the litterer, and making them put it in a trash can themselves.

Why do you you hate that there is no law regulating their own decision which only affects themselves? Imagine actually wanting a nanny state.
The first one is definitely the most important one, if you’re not wearing a seatbelt, YOU GET A COP TICKET!!! So always buckle up before turning the keys or hitting the button.
The worst thing I’ve experienced about the drivers in my area are people who merge or swap lanes without a turn signal, especially when there’s only a cars length of space between the person in front and me. It annoys me but I always remind myself it’s better to let it go and give them some space to avoid accidents.
That is true. Especially if there turning and a pedestrian wants to cross. If the turn signal ain't on and the section doesn't necessarily indicate it a turn section. Well it can lead to undesirable outcomes for both pedestrian and driver.
I will be going 80 and leaving a decent buffer space with the car in front of me only for some SUV to jump the gap and follow the car in front of them by 20 feet.
The worst non blinker users are that ones at green lights (not green arrows) that don’t use a blinker when they’re waiting for traffic to clear to turn left at the light so you can’t tell if they wanna turn left or if they’re fuckin with you.
I live in Kansas city and people here have something against using turn signals. Seriously, if you're going to cut me off, at least use your turn signal. It's the little sticky thing on the left.
They are prime candidates for a BMW
i will never not wear a seatbelt unless i have no option. i was involved in a crash and ever since ive had bad anxiety driving or being in a car. i absolutely love driving, but it makes me nervous. having my seatbelt is very important to me

Put your seatbelt on, there's no reason not to. I've had people refuse to buckle up or even unbuckle mid-drive after I told them I won't drive them anywhere if they don't put it on. If you take it off, I will leave your ass on the side of whatever road you took it off on. I left a friend on the highway because he refused to put it back on, I truly do not understand. I've been in accidents before, had I not been wearing a belt I'd have went flying out the windshield.

Hazards are fine if the rain is so heavy you can barely see a car length or two ahead of you. It could cut down on possible accidents when you cant see in front of you
Only time I drove with hazards constantly on is when I had to go to the store in the middle of a massive snowstorm. Hit a massive black ice patch and was just like "OOOOOK fuck that" cus I wasn't about to total a 50 thousand dollar Stinger when it was about 15 degrees outside
^Warning people of a black ice patch with Hazards is fine. Just don't put them on in a drizzle or small rain LOL
I know people who use hazards to both say thanks to other drivers that let them on Motorways (highways) or one that I do is use hazards to check your turn signals are working fine
Mostly I use one quick click of hazard lights to thank other driver who let me pass them (usually semi-trucks, when they flash a right turn signal to inform me that it's safe to pass) or when I go to full stop on highway (traffic jam, accident and etc.)
The only time I've been in a group of cars using hazard lights was when it was raining so bad that you'd lose traction over 35mph, and visibility was shit.
I felt attacked by Bladed's take, but wasn't sure if that's the kind of rain he was talking about.

Thank you for mentioning one of my biggest pet peeves as a truck driver: if I'm passing you, don't speed up to keep me from passing, if you're passing me, then f-ing pass me. And if you do pass me, don't cut in front of me just to slow back down.

That last comment you made is soooo true! My mother bought a 2023 Toyota 4Runner and wanted to put offroading shit like a winch on it, not realizing that the suspension needs to be changed because of how heavy it is, that she'd have to buy a new bumper to carry it, and how useless a winch would be. The only time she went offroading was when she took her Rav4 onto the beach years ago. The mentality of these SUV owners is ridiculous
I never heard the “Grown men don’t wear seatbelts “ like deadass, ain’t no way that’s real 😂😂
Then the drivers in your area must be really great. But in my area there is a belief that "only the driver is supposed to wear seat belts" but I always wear seatbelt no matter if I'm sitting in the front passenger seat or the back seat but every often someone always insists me to "just enjoy your freedom as a passenger and don't waste it wearing a seatbelt" or "are you scared that we'll get a ticket? Ha! No chance!" Like seriously I'm wearing I'm it for my safety not for the fear of getting pulled over. And other times when I insist my mom to wear seatbelt she will always say "don't worry son, your father is a great driver nothing will happen to us" ok my father is a great driver not lies in that but others aren't and nowhere does it says that you aren't supposed to wear seatbelt when a good driver is behind the wheel.

That second one is so true. I absolutely hate the fact that traffic slows down significantly when light rain is in the area. I’m from Dallas, and everyone goes from an average speed of anywhere between 70-80mph to 55 on major highways because of rain
That's not necessarily a bad thing, especially if the drainage on the highways isn't good enough to manage that level of rain effectively enough. Even in light rain you can still hydroplane if there isn't enough drainage and you're going too fast
I just put my seatbelt on as soon as I sit down, it's just a habit and I've never even thought about it, I just do it!
There was a policeman in Serbia who literally told my parents about 10+ years ago that he saw situations where seatbelt saved the life and when seatbelt was the reason people died and that he doesn't write tickets for seatbelts.
People driving 15 under with hazards is annoying, but I honestly prefer it to the alternative - people going at their usual speed and crashing. I've witnessed 2 highway pileups in my life and both could've been only minor incidents if people simply slowed down and paid attention instead of flooring it when the car ahead is barely visible.
Also, in my town I've seen people use hazard lights during bad traffic as"I can turn anywhere at any time" turn signal. Its super annoying, I've been cut off by them more times than I can count
Just yesterday a brand new Escalade was going 30mph on the highway in some decent rain with some limited visibility but not a real issue. No rear lights on at all. No hazards. Almost caused a huge car pileup
Crashes in bad weather are usually the case of following distance, not absolute speed. In fact, even in good weather people don't have proper following distance. It's almost like most people suck at driving and never went on a track to actually learn the limits of braking and traction.
@@HaloDude557 most of the time yeah, but whenever I see people going 50+mph on a highway when the fog is so dense that you can't see more than maybe 25ft ahead I just have to shake my head.

One second you are driving in what appears to be a totally clear road at a "safe" speed for handling the car and then the next second there are 20+ cars all crushed up and blocking the whole road in a huge accident that you have absolutely zero time to react to. That's not a case of following distance, that's a case of too much absolute speed
@@ambiguousheadline8263 no? You need space to react and stop. That is why following distance is important. If you literally cannot see in front of you due to visibility, you should assume there is a car stopped there and create buffer space for potential emergency braking.

But there is no way to "create space" you just need to reduce absolute speed to be able to brake quicker
Sometimes it's cheaper to use ride sharing or public transportation than your own car in California. With apartment parking, you can have one car and still not be guaranteed a spot at night. Leaving your car on red (like half the neighbors) is a 60 dollar fine, finding parking after work and going to the grocery store? Uber there and back is 30...
That seatbelt thing really gets me , when my friend when he goes back home from work , won't wear it cause "its only 5 minutes"
Since I remember myself, my dad won't start driving until everyone puts their seatbelt on. Even the "it's only 5 minutes" guys end up doing it eventually like how hard could it be to put a safety strap on so that you don't shoot out of the window like a frickin rocket missile in case of even a 40km/h crash
Im currently learning to drive and in driving schools here in germany (at least i would guess that similar things happen in other schools) they got some stories of "its just 5 minutes" that ended 6ft under or in the hospital, especially the motorcycle ones where they dont wear a helmet or anything at all really (just swimming trunks in one example... )
Tell him to take a bicycle when its only 5 minutes.
@@Mr.Engine993 i just offer to drive when people start stinking about seatbelts.
@@rienkhoek4169 and wear a helmet!
"Don't base your entire personality on wearing a seatbelt"
*Proceeds to spend three minute talking about what type of person you are if you don't wear one.* 😆
In Germany you can actually get sued for Injuring someone If you drove through a puddle purpously to make them wet. ITS because people May become sick
The fact there's an actual rule for this tells us how messed up society can be.
How can you even drive without a fucking seatbelt… my car has a seizure if I don’t have it on.
Can confirm on the being stupid in snow. It's fun when no one else is around
What's better than being stupid in the snow? Being stupid in the snow with a Mustang!
Agree with the slight drizzle, they panic. Same drivers who speed up when you pass.
Yea I've seen way too many people speed match me in my semi.
RIP.
Also thanks for hard work. Truck Drivers don't enough appreciation o7
@@BladedAngel Your very welcome bro.
I agree with most points. Regarding SUVs though, in my honest opinion these things are just big and ugly with barely any benefit. And somehow so many people in the world are so insecure about themselves that they bought one too.
They're not even meant to go "off-road".
Only as "off-road" as a dusty farm road but that's about it. They're a joke of a vehicle, especially with the American wobble suspension.
As somebody who escaped Atlanta it brings me so much happiness to hear bladed describe driving in that hellhole
Many years ago I used to hear people say, "I was in an accident and if I'd been wearing my seatbelt I would've been killed." To which I countered with, " I can recount 3 near accidents I have been in that would have been accidents if I hadn't been wearing my seatbelt." To which they had nothing coherent to say.
Once again Bladed pushes his motorcycle agenda onto us! I can feel the 2 stroke entering my water supply as we speak!
2 strokes are usually reserved for scooters (which are still kinda cool tbh) and don't usually go over 100CC engines from what I've found.
@@stagiestpizza I’m not well versed in bikes, despite Bladed’s efforts, so I was kinda just guessing.
@Stagiest Pizza yep, scooters and dirt bikes.
Breaking News : Bladed Angel single handedly drives up motorcycle sales by 300%
For last part: car people see the car as a hobby or art or a way of expressing themselves.
Noncar people see it as a status symbol.
Also car people respect their and others’ cars, non-car people don’t care
@@hikkamoriias a car person, I always make sure to shut other people’s cars doors by using the least amount of force, and wearing a seatbelt 100% of the time
@@satsumagt5284 I got habit of smashing the door closed because my dad always had cars that wouldn't close fully if you don't smash them lmao
@@satsumagt5284 same, I also never put my bare hand on anyone's car paint either. Nobody wants people leaving fingerprints on their car
it drove me up the wall that my parents hated me getting a motorcycle and riding but they NEVER wear seal belts in a car...
0:16 these people surely will get their faces flattened by the steering wheel sometime
That's better part
Usually people just smashing their car windows and just fly into a billboard or tree
How about people driving on bald or dry rotted tires? Just yesterday, I saw 3 different cars with bald tires. No amount of safety tech can stop your car from crashing if the thing that connects you to the road is worn out.
I've never seen anyone using hazards in the rain where I live in Texas. The biggest issue I have is a lot of people around here don't turn on their lights in the fog no matter how dense it is and then they'll drive like 30-40 in a 55 and you don't see them until you're 10 feet from their bumper.
Its like that here in New Mexico too. Rain or fog. Couldn’t see 20 ft past my hood but I’d see some headlights practically in the back window of my car.
My biggest pet peeve is ppl who will get absolutely financially screwed over by a car company and then buy from that same company AGAIN after their pos car blew up at 50 thousand miles. Ppl like that are the reason why cars companies DO NOT care about engineering dependability.
"fuck seatbelts, we die like men" is the slogan i see a lot
I'm OK with Darwin thinning the herd.
So goddamn true!!! As a pedestrian a lot, I hate it when cars splash me or drive close af to me just because they see it as some stupid ass challenge
If you're a cyclist or pedestrian, look the driver in the eye. If they meet your gaze they know you exist and everyone does the right thing. If they don't lock eyes with you, prepare for evasive maneuvers.
I've been at crossings, began crossing and had the time to do an air kick to get their attention because they've not locked eyes with you.
I guess I'm guilty here. From where I'm from everyone drives 5-10mph faster than the speed limit. So when I drive the actual speed limit I became the "slow" one.
Everytime I see a new Bladed video I stop everything I do to watch it ❤
@02:54 Actually, in Europe you are _supposed_ to decrease speed if "the road is wet":
1. Below some speed limit signs, there is a supplementary table saying "among wet conditions"
2. In Luxembourg you are supposed to drive 110 km/h on the highway, if it it is wet.
3. In germany people take the gas immediately off on the highway, to 80 km/h if the road is wet - regardless if there are signs for it. Germans are instructed to this in the driving school.
Under wet circumstances, the traction is 47% of that under normal conditions - meaning longer brake distance. This is why.
The hazard in rain thing is understandable if it is really heavy downpour and at night, that mix makes it almost impossible to see the taillight of the guy infront, but in light rain, its just silly to use hazards
I remember seeing a woman driving some sort of cadillac crossover of some sort texting and driving on the highway drifting onto the shoulder with her rear windshield bashed out covered with lawn bags or something lol
I’ve heard from a cop that he never unbuckled a dead person in a crash who wore their seatbelt.
If I get behind another person and they match speeds, I'm not gonna say which one, but imma start breaking traffic laws
6:36 We welcome you with open arms! Roads are amazing here, a bit boring but the German autobahn is only 2 hours away
@BladedAngel One of the most infuriating things I come across way too often (that you didn't mention in the here but is easily a video by itself), distracted driving. My feelings towards that is summed up very well by this James May quote from Top Gear news: "I want to put their head in a brown paper bag & bludgeon them to death with a blunt end of an axe."
Women for whom driving barely makes it in to the top 5 of things to do whilst driving, behind activities such as applying make-up, eating, using phones, screaming at kids in the back, origami etc
@@pigeonpoo1823Sexist much?
If you think wearing a seatbelt is lame , living the rest of your life in a hospital bed ain't very cool either
That’s one good thing about driving in France : imagine, you’re speeding and one of those mf on the passing lane on the extreme left is blocking, you put blinkers to the left, the driver in front understand and lets you keep speeding, that’s so nice (i mean they could just not be on the lane but it’s better than nothing)
Germans do this too
“Motorcycles are unsafe”
TVR: “hold my beer”
(The cerbera calls you a bastard if you don’t maintain it properly)
We need to start doing the trend: „REAL MEN DO NOT EAT“ it’ll be so helpful
"REAL MEN DO NOT BREATH" would be even more useful.
And put the sign "REAL MEN USE GILLS TO BREATHE" as a bonus, to make sure those who're stupid enough to follow through and actually succeed could be further investigated by area 51 laboratory researchers, to help International countries research polluted marine life.
Here in Australia, both parties get fined for not wearing a seatbelt, and any fine doubles if it's in a school zone.
wait so SUVs are designed to go offroad and not to take Karens to shopping malls?
madness.
Bro I paid $11 for a bacon double quarter pounder WITH the free fries reward and NO drink at mcdonald's, the world is going nuts when i have to spend 45 minutes of work for a burger
Ah, punishment passes, the bane of my existence in Indiana. The local drivers have pushed me to commuting exclusively by car even though it's only 6 miles to work
Here from Illinois. So many people drive terrible. Even around an Elementary school.
Yeah I used to live up in portage and people would go out of their way trying to hit me when I was riding my bike to work.
