- Lots of honking, a few close calls, but this is mainly of people just not caring. Enjoy!
In regards to some requests to put the names of neighborhoods on the corner of each clip, I tried that and I was not happy with the way it turned out, especially with the amount of extra work I would have to put in. If anything, googling street names found in a clip would give you its location if you're curious and you're always welcome to ask.

The camera tends to distort the real-life perception, be regardful of this when judging distance and speed.
Make sure you look up traffic laws for CA before commenting or kindly ask before making accusations; it might be different from where you live.
Remember, SoCal's driving culture is unique.
Many of these aren't necessarily "bad drivers", some of these are things that I find interesting on the road and a lot of these are honest mistakes that I've been guilty of and I post my own mistakes at the end.
3:20 why did the radio fit so perfectly?!
I was thinking the same thing!!
yeah, that was the best part!
bill burr the prophet
It was probably XM Sirius. Brilliant timing too lol.
LMAO!
4:01 wow, talk about impatient drivers. 5:12 instant justice, lol. 3:20 at the radio, "Why would you annoy the shit out of everybody by clogging traffic?" lol, the timing was perfect there. Great video as always :)
When you upload a new bad driver video, it's like Christmas!
Ikr😂😂😂
It really is
YES!!
i know
Agreed!
3:26- LOL nice timing on the radio
Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast, it's awesome.
When I start to miss Southern California, videos like this break me out of it.
Awesome video!!! I've been watching your videos for a couple years. Keep up the great work :)
Thanks for being loyal!
No problem! I love your videos!
+Bad Drivers of Southern California Btw Los Angeles, San Diego, and Riverside aren't countries....
+The Leginite Gamer. I'm sure he probably knows
The Leginite Gamer I know they aren't and I never said they were. Are you referring to my intro at 0:27, where I wrote "counties" ?
You're like a god of dashcaming
Snowcats better
+Jason R for real
+Jason R snowcat is a jackass he gives the finger to everyone and he doesn't give a crap for mistakes
william 5629 a mistake can cost somebody thier life...
and royaljordanian is awesome.
+Liz Coz I guess it's just my opinion
I love how whatever was on the radio at 3:17 fit perfectly with the situation that was going on!
3:20 "Why would you annoy the shit out of everybody by clogging traffic?"
Oh, the irony.
That's Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast. There's like a 50% chance that he's ranting about traffic on any given time during it. I love it!
Especially considering how bad California traffic is xd
Perfect
I've lived in San DIego and Los Angeles. This shit happens EVERY DAY. Watching this vid is like... any given day. Insane. I'm also getting a dashcam on my next trip to Costco ($70), I suggest everyone in SoCal get one. I like my insurance premiums LOW.
What brand are you getting? Any recommendations?
Defenseman61913 I hate stupid fucks. I was about to merge onto a highway, and as I was merging the speed limit was 60mph which I was going about 65mph and this dick head in a truck about 50 meters behind me in the slow lane already on the highway literally accelerated just to get right next to me so I couldn’t merge. When he got next to me he slowed back down to the speed limit to keep me from getting on the high way. I had to slow way down to 40mph until I could let his stupid ass pass me so I could properly merge. The whole time this was happening his fat ass girl friend was glaring at me through her passenger window like she wanted to fight me. I’ve never seen these dumb fucks in my life, and I still don’t know what the fuck the stupid ass driver was thinking, but I am sure he was probably looking for a conflict of some sort. Him and his fat ass girl friend.
Just to clarify, as I was slowing down to 40mph he was literally slowing down just to stay beside me and keeping me from getting on the high way.
Zander33 Linus I was fucking doing 60 speed limit was fucking 70 and this I drive a truck I was driving fucking stupid ass idiot was going 55 and he hit my 379 and I got pulled over......
I am literally jumping with joy right now! Thanks for the upload!!!
OMFG I was 10 mins into the video and I realized the titled said SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA and my dumbass thought I was watching "Bad drivers of SOUTH CAROLINA" I was like, damn there's a lot of California plates in South Carolina SMDH LOLOLOL 😂😂😂😑
People in South Carolina never honk. Vacation from michigan and I was the only one honking at idiots.
3:21 - Guy on the radio knows what's up.
So great to see another video from you - as always, it was awesome.
That's Bill Burr's Monday Morning Podcast. He's hilarious.
Bad Drivers of Southern California
Thanks, I'll definitely check that out!
Another well made video from one of my favorite dashcammers!
Really! Me too!
Love your videos! I get so excited every time a new one comes out. Thanks for posting.
Honestly, I don't even have to watch this video before giving it a like. This + last day of school = relaxation!
I like how your BMW indicated that you were close to something AFTER you hit the barrier lmao
Your video taught me the one lane left turn rule. Neat. I'll remember that one.
Bro... Kudos for your patience! I'm on the horn a lot out here in Colorado! Same stupidity, different state!
Welcome back! So many clueless drivers it's unreal!
Also I heard you talking about this in the video. I would rather see Rousey fight Holm again and have a rematch. Rousey vs Tate would be fun too but I think Rousey would be Tate again like last two times. Or another fight I would like to see is Rousey vs Cyborg!
Welcome back the best channel!!!!!
Tate is a lot better since her last fight with Rousey, I think Tate vs Rousey 3 would be kickass. A fight with Cyborg will never happen.
+Bad Drivers of Southern California Tate was getting beat up and losing the rounds when fighting Holm up until that submission. I think Rousey would demolish Tate for the 3 rd time. Rousey is hungrier than ever after that loss. And about the Cyborg fight. It can happen if they fight catch weight or 135 pounds. Cyborg is in the UFC now so it's a possibility that fight with Rousey can happen sometime in future. Never say never.
Hahaha, at 2:37 what was playing on the radio was perfect for that situation! WOW, those 2 drivers at 4:06 on the freeway, just,....WOW!!!!! What a great late exit capture at 5:40!! Another one at 12:03! Man you just seem to get the best captures! Excellent video as always! Hope you're doing well! :)
Thanks, DCE!
Some drivers act like they got a drivers license from a drunk man in an alley
Damn, I have to wait until after school to watch this. Looks like an awesome compilation
Nice to see another amazing video from you again!
You the mang brutha! This totally made my evening! That school bus driver at 2:00..... WOW! I would have reported him *PRONTO!* He needs to be fired, AND go back to driving school. Hopefully there weren't any kids aboard.Excellent video as always. Stay safe out there.
Awesome video! Stay safe and keep making these mini movies about bad drivers lol.
Why the hell do People block the Intersection? damn
Bad Drivers of Southern California messed up there by entering the obstructed intersection. The proper thing to do was to wait behind the limit line until it was clear to proceed through the intersection.
the funny thing is when i know i cant make it i just wait and then this car behind me starts to honk like hell
It looks like California needs more box junctions.
Funny thing, heard a car honk with the same horn as BDofSC and thought haven't seen a video of his in a while and then boom get the notification he uploaded a video. Great Captures!!
this is like snowcat but with cars and without commentary!!! aweseom! Subbed!
Nobody cares, you're right. They just do whatever the hell they want. And that radio station talking about annoying people in traffic was so WELL timed lol Thanks for posting a video!
That was Bill Burr talking about protestors. Thanks for watching!
You've been in my neighborhood and home town! Welcome back to the valley!
Hey man, love your videos that you've been posting. I've been watching yours for quite a while now from here in Brisbane, Australia. Keep it up!!
The cutting in and out of offramps at the last minute because you weren't paying attention is so normal to me that it's hard to think of it as bad driving, lol. What people really hate is those people that cut in front of a long line of people in an offramp lane because they are just A*holes. Thanks for the video, it was fun!
3:22 And that's exactly what that minivan was doing lol
LOL
Bill Burr is just scary accurate at all times lol
I was hoping someone else would notice that! Lol
XD
gameplayguy87 aw
Another great video! At 21:42 I think the BMW honked at the Camry to go before the light turned red, but anyway nice video.
The best channel... Great videos!
I teach driving in Hanoi, Vietnam. It is a pleasure to exchange experiences learning from each other
Awesome video! Already can't wait for the next one lol
5:25 "Peekabo!" Lol. Great Video! So glad to see it in my sub and notification box. (I have an alert to when you upload a new vid :P)
Ah, I live in San Diego and drive these roads all of the time. This shit happens more often than you'd think.
00:58 - It's nice to have a tag team honking at an idiot and really laying on the horn! Hope the idiot got the message.
1:55 - A great example of no fucks given.
2:15 - Wow! A school bus driver no less!
3:08 - Almost nothing angers me more than intersection blockers. Would be hard not to lay on the air horn button in that situation. And almost as if the radio broadcaster was with you.
6:43 - Wait a minute......he honked at YOU?
10:06 - I've had that exact situation where a man got mad at me because I pulled up next to him to turn right but he failed to signal and failed to position his vehicle in a way to indicate he wanted right. Some people are incredibly stupid.
As always, highly entertaining episode!!
6:43 -- There was a car in the left lane that honked at him. Thanks!
Bad Drivers of Southern California
Oh I see. I'd call him more of an idiot if he had been the one honking. Well maybe next time he'll realize not to go that way.
3:20 I would've been on the horn
The timing of the guy on the radio directly after you went around the lady at 3:22 was so perfect lol
Damn how common do you see those events occurring everyday. Also thanks for another great compilation of bad drivers
Like the crazy maneuvers and close calls
Tech Defender all the time. In my case (on a motorcycle too, 25-50 times a day
Nice to see so much footage of where I live. Great video!
Thanks!
Just wanted to say thanks for posting these awesome vids! I know it takes a lot of time to edit!
The feedback I get from you guys makes it worth it! That, and I enjoy the finished product, too.
1:31 THAT IS ME. GRAY 2011 GTI. NO FUCKING WAY.
Aw man lucky! I've always wanted a gray MK6
No you don't. The parts for this POS are wayyyyy too expensive like rly volkswagen
@@DigitalDyslexia how do u know
Great video as always, but I miss your honking 😂. I remember one older video where a woman yelled at you for sitting at a light because you couldn't get into the correct lane, so you yelled at her to go around the block and check again. That's the BDoSC that I know! :D. Anyways, great vid
Thanks for posting. (You should get a bump because you were noted on a major news site!)
damn that was a big pot hole when you hit it! I also think it's funny how your car started telling you your gonna hit something after you hit it lol
Loved the video! Keep up the good work!
Man I love the BMW horns! We have an E36 and a F30 and I love the horn tones on them. It would be great if you could make more videos sooner but ether way I love your videos, Keep It up!
The horn of my e39 sounds like a half dead goose.. lol
wish I had a 18 wheeler ' s truck horn or how about a fire engine's horn or better yet.... a train horn. that'll get their attentio. Fer sure
14:18
I don't think that counts as running a red light, so much as anticipating the light turning green, but same difference I suppose.
To both Bad drivers Of SC below, love all your vids! In this video I had to "Wow!" at about the 7:00 mark at the oncoming wrong-way driver, finally moving out of the way, only to turn the wrong way on yet another street! Wow...
I really liked when the Toyota Sienna block traffic and how ironic the radio was saying about "annoying the shit the out of everyone by clogging traffic". So funny!
This video just gave me a flashbacks of my daily trips from Corona to Santa Fe Springs lol.
Great video as always! That red Sonata driver was the most idiotic driver I've seen in terms of cutting you off for a parking spot. Take care!
Some of the things that grind my gears: driving too slow, seemingly unaware that there's a line of cars behind you...not leaving space to pass on the right, when you're turning left...slowing waay down, or topping suddenly and at an on-ramp...using the fast lane for anything other than passing (contributes to widespread traffic)...accelerating REALLY slow when lights turn green....not pulling over to the right, especially when a wide shoulder is available, to turn right (into a driveway or parking lot), causing the cars behind you to slow waaay down to a near stop...
Im glad you said it in the description. Its not even bad drivers most of he time, its just that no one gives a single fuck anymore.
That van at 3:17 not even giving the slightest fuck. Literally watching that raised my blood pressure.
honestly this is some of the best driving I've seen out of southern CA LOL
OMG. At 6:15 I heard you hit that poor defenseless traffic cone. :'( Great video.
That was a reflector.
Oh. My bad. :-)
5:26 that happens to me on almost a daily basis. They never learn even when you honk at them, half the time they act like they were in the right.
21:06 I gasped at the exact same time as you hahaha
21:57 Now that's two minor thumps in the same compilation! I hope there wasn't any damage to your poor car! (I don't know how low to the ground your car is, so I don't know whether colliding with a parking-thing would scrape your bumper or not. Hopefully not)
Loving the videos man keep it up
3:17 And then be like "Oh what's going on? 3:20 "Why would you annoy the shit out of everybody by clogging traffic". LOL
As someone who lives in Southern California, I can tell you that if you go one day without seeing something crazy and stupid, you're extremely lucky.
The guy talking about protests makes a very good point
Love those bits when the cops nail them!
first time i saw one of your videos
i loled a lot.
So similar around here (Portugal)
Very interesting to watch :)
I don't think I've ever said "What an asshole" this many times in a row.
Haha I'm in San Diego right now and getting off I-5 onto Broadway I recognize a lot of shots where you get clips.
I've seen similar shit here in the Twin Cities. 🤣 Never ceases to amuse me how many people block intersections, blow red lights, don't signal, or speed through a parking garage without looking. I nearly got clipped by someone in a pickup speeding in a parking lot. I damn near put my fist through the horn because I was so mad. 😂🤣
Wow! That driver in the Hyundai acted like they couldn't get hit! Bold move to cross in front of oncoming traffic!
Huh, TIL that left-hand turns can be made into either lane (at 10:40)… I‘ve driven quite a bit in CA and never knew that! In my home state of Michigan, cars turning left *must* turn into the left-most lane, if there’s more than one lane. It’s annoying when you then need to make a right soon thereafter, cuz as soon as you make the left turn, you pretty much gotta immediately signal and merge right. (I actually got points taken off my driving test turning left into a right-hand lane, so it’ll be a tough to unlearn this rule when driving CA.)
I've lived and driven in several major cities, but driving in LA is the most terrifying place to drive by far.
Welcome back!
I just finished a road trip from VA to Southern California in 10 days. Getting onto i15 was an absolute nightmare. Had to pull over and switch drivers.
great compilation as always, SoCal driving culture is definitly special!
I must say your compilations are one of the best there are, but first personal mistake scared me shitless ;p
Does your car have DRLs?
Thanks! I do, but I usually have them off.
Bad Drivers of Southern California Ohh I see, I didn't even know that was possible. I look for the option to turn them off, but I couldn't find it.
What's a DRL?
+Central Illinois Dashcam - Daytime Running Lights, small lights on the front which stay on when the headlights are turned off. It's required by law on all new cars here since 2012, I don't know about the US.
louis smeets
I know what they are. I just wasn't familiar with the acronym.
Awesome video man. It's been a while. Have you considered posting shorter videos more frequently? Keep it up!
That would be ideal, but my schedule doesn't allow that.
+Bad Drivers of Southern California I know what you mean. I'm sure we'd all like to spend more time doing what we want to and not what we have to. Great videos!
Nice! The Monday Morning Podcast! D'oooohhhhjeeeeeeeeyzuz! :D
i loled at the first honking montage about the guy who said "i didn't honk enough" its still making me laugh now when I think about it.
Need to watch these on a big screen with popcorn
Yes I've Been Waiting For So Long
Having lived and traveled all of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Riverside Counties, I've driven 99.5% of the freeways and roadways shown in the video. And had everyone of those stupid things happen to me or near me, plus a few more dumb things not shown. One of the stupidest was a clown driving 65 mph, EB 105 #2 lane(mostly) @ 07:30 while doing paper work with a marker, a notebook on the steering wheel and cell phone cradled on his left shoulder. Driving in SoCal keeps your heart rate up.
Wow. The motorcycle cop said "Pull up so we are not blocking the roadway!" That would NEVER happen in Atlanta.
Love your channel. This was fun, I got to see some of your city and idiots driving vehicles. LOL Don't worry about hitting the parking block, I do that all the time. My Dodge Dart has a very low shield and it seems to always hit them. (sigh)
Thanks for the support!
I love the videos. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Welcome back! :-)
8:37 That guy is a crash waiting to happen. 7GTN880
16:13 That sounds Russian.
17:00 I would have honked him/her on the way by.
17:24 I hope nobody was seriously hurt in any of the wrecks.
21:04 _Ouch!_ That can throw your front end out of alignment.
21:54 _Ouch!_ Poor car is getting beat up. :-(
Great captures! Lots of honking and *_STUPID!!_* behavior. :-) Stay safe!
Thanks!
Somewhat relevant Bill Burr monologue.
YESSS I MISS THIS CHANNEL
I had a dumb moment while watching. I thought my computer screen was dirty, and it was really a bug on your windshield. lol
"vroom" i love it
Me too
quick question, if your at a faulty light thats red, and isnt changing, how long do you wait to go? ive benn honked AT before for staying. so to avoid the people seeing if their horn work, im asking.
You would want to treat it as a ___ way stop.
Person who arrives first goes first.
You would only treat it as a stop sign if the light is flashing red or out completely. If your light is stuck on red and the light for cross traffic is stuck on green, I believe you technically are required to sit there for eternity (although motorcycles are actually allowed to run it after a set period of time because their bikes are often not heavy enough to set off the sensor), but if it were me I'd probably wait 3-5 minutes until I realize the light isn't going to change, then go when it's safe. At that point it's really a judgement call. Btw, I honk a lot, but I wouldn't honk at you for being reluctant to run a red light lol. People who do that are assholes. Next time you should honk back :)
Stupid California Drivers thank you, i should honk back, havent tested if my horn works in a while...lol.
you could easily do another one called "bad pedestrians of southern california" as well
Great video. Awesome how you caught 2 people receiving Karma. Look forward to more. Drive safe.
A new BD of SoCal video??? I know what I'm doing for the next 22 minutes of my life!!!!!
11:05!La Jolla Village drive is so awful going westbound while the construction is going on at the intersection of Town Center Drive & La Jolla Village in the right turn only lane -_-
As noted by a separate page that sent me to this, many of the San Diego scenes are downtown, and that grid can get confusing if you're not used to it. I seem to recall it especially has spots for potential confusion as streets get close to the harbor for some reason.
Can someone tell me why 4:40 is wrong? The guy turned left. What was wrong about that? There was only a 'no u-turn' and 'no right turn' sign.
I live on the central coast, and this is why the only time I go south of Santa Barbara is if someone else is driving lol
I LOVE how you type the letters to the sound 😇
