All the comments saying “ only one hand on the steering wheel “ PUHLEASE .....lol . People have watch what your doing in the truck in the video to try find something to blame you with. The most important thing no matter how good of a driver you are is “OBSERVATION and AWARENESS “ of what’s going on around you . And that’s precisely what you were doing when you were driving in this video .
As someone who lives in Brisbane and works with traffic: it hasnt gotten any better and im experiencing theee to four near misses a day. Some people are just blind to the danger they create with their idiocy and lack of driving skill.
Yeah, and the bigger the truck, the bigger the distance. That means that the gap can fit in more cars. Simple hey. The really concerning part, the vast majority of those people with that attitude are allowed to vote. That kinda explains a lot about the self entitled society that we are living in. LOL. :)
@@swampmarshy As I said in another comment "Care factor 0", and not just for drivers, It's more of a social attitude of "I'm OK and F everyone else"... Kinda sad really.. Same people will do there best to hold up truck drivers on the highway, and then complain because their ice cream was late getting on the shelf lol
Oh yeah. At this time of the year, they complain about the low level of stock in the store. The same people park in the loading zone and the truck can't get the products into the store.
@@swampmarshy Anyways, It's hard to keep your kool in that environment. but we do, most of the time X-) And loading zones.. I had a problem loading zone I was faced with every day.. I would ring the shops while driving around the block to see if they had a customer blocking the space.. One told the shopkeeper I really don't care and i'll use the loading bay if I want.. So I parked the pantech "In the lane of the street" directly behind the loading zone and proceeded to unload pallets"By Hand". The owner of that car jumped up and down and foamed at the mouth and called the police and "How dare I" lol
Haha. That first roundabout is on Days Road, Grange. That roundabout is not only a big problem with dickheads like the hatch pulling out, but the zebra crossing is so close to the exit of the roundabout that this has already caused many accidents before.
This confirms it. I was astounded when I first moved to Brisbane (originally from London) at just how dangerous some of the drivers are, especially with regards to people cutting in! The main issue seems to be that when a driver makes an error choosing a lane, they're willing to put their life and other drivers' lives at risk just to rectify it. If you make a mistake and it's not safe to get back into the correct lane, turn off and turn back around when possible. It's a little bit of a pain when it happens but not the end of the world. Anyways, we need more drivers like you. Edit: 4 years on, I'm now back in London and have changed my stance - London drivers are definitely worse! 🤣
Yeah, you are correct. It really is not that difficult to drive around the block and try again. I think that you are being kind when you say that they have made a bad lane selection. I personally think that they know very well that it is a bad lane selection, but just don't really care, they think they are being clever.
Even with video evidence of them being in the wrong, the police and everyone always try to hunt down some evidence against the truck driver to get out of being in fault. Truck driver like my self that was injured by an impatient driver in beginning of 2020, has to fight for rights, and are treated as criminals. These drivers need their licenses taken off them for a very very long time.
Yeah mate. I understand exactly what you are trying to say. Have seen it quite a few times myself, always been lucky enough that it was not me that was directly involved.
latest trend of idiot drivers- slowing down when they see a red traffic light, from more than 500meters away. not caring about the traffic they are creating because of slowing down drivers behind them.
Now I remember why I retired . Used to get 25 or more of these DAILY . I would have Laughed and Laughed and Laughed if that Clown with the Overweight Box-trailer had ROLLED .
Yeah mate. Sometimes you can just see the accident that SHOULD Happen. There are those that are just born with so much dumb luck, and there are those that always wonder why the bad stuff seems to happen to them. I see it all day, every day. You are correct.
Yes there are some bad drivers in the video but the cam view driver is no angel either. One hand and sometimes one finger on the wheel, driving to fast for the conditions.
Thank you for watching, and for taking the time to comment. Love the fact that this video is still attracting views and comments when it was originally uploaded in 2014. To the best of my knowledge it is not against the law to drive with only one hand on the wheel. Not recommended, but not against the law. define too fast for the conditions. ... after all of these years, you are the first to mention that point. Keep in mind, the camera being used can be deceptive on the distances. Thank you for your time.
WOW! you are observant. Considering that the video was uploaded in 2014, the nerves are quite good now thanks. LOL. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, we really do appreciate it.
To make my days while driving a truck in London I would put the squeeze on the cutter inners, the turn left brigade and the unzippers. To help me my truck being a site truck had plenty of scrapped paintwork, other drivers would look at it and I'm sure think this guy doesn't care a flick.
Yesterday I had 4 people almost crash in to me because they never looked. One guy tried to cross a main road in his car with out looking when I was doing 70kph, I ended up less than one foot from hitting him. Stay safe :)
@@swampmarshy If you have ever watched British dash cams they are so damned polite it causes a bout of somnolence. Here in Canada we are a mixture of British politeness with a liberal dose of Aussie Thunder. As for updating for arsenal of admonishments, don't bother... there is nothing wrong in being an anomaly.
That last section of road is a fuggin true schidtt pit of road design to be fair. The traffic scoots along there pretty bloody quick at certain times of the day and there’s bugger all pre warning that the left lane is about to become a left turn only. When unfamiliar drivers are doing mirror checks and holding a curving line, the few pieces of signage that’ll let you know what’s coming up, can get lost in the moment. Seen it happen there stacks of times. I know there’s no shortage of proper khuntz on Brissy roads but, that piece of road’s a schidtt pit.
I do understand what you are explaining. Yeah, that section of road really was not designed to carry the amount of traffic that now uses it. However, if you have a good look, there really is plenty of signage and warning that it is a left turning lane. Plenty of arrows on the road surface, and plenty of signs prior on the side of the road giving warning.
@@swampmarshy ……Yeah there is probably enough signage there for during lighter loads between the rush hours, however, when it gets all hot and steamy and rammed to the gills with territorial road users, the mirror rituals and peripheral vision monster takes a lot of the attention reserves away. My first time in Brisbane was back in 2013, that was also when I first drove that road and it was rush hour. That very fuggin lane caught me out as well while doing the old exorcist head swivel among the packed and hurtling throng. I took the left though and cursed the world. The next time I went through the signage was clearer but, so was the road. I tended to be pretty forgiving to characters during rush hour that had noob behaviour in that lane but, any khuntz that tried that schidtt outside rush hour I’d try to lock them in to making an involuntary left. Good on ya mate.
@@biggest23 Oh sweet Jesus. You tell the story well of your first time on that road. I'm feeling for you while simultaneously pissing myself laughing. Have you considered a future in stand up comedy. :)
@@swampmarshy ……..Glad to have assisted in the construction of a beaming grin on your face mate. My wife thinks I should write books actually but, you can’t trust a person who loves you so much they don’t even get mad when you fart in bed, to then have a fair and balanced opinion on your abilities.
I’m a “white-van-driver” and I swear some days my “road-whale” MUST be invisible owing to the number of near misses I conquer on a daily basis! Hats off to all the road warriors!
Ah, you see you are apply the thought process that they are actually looking. we all need to remember that other traffic (or pedestrians) are secondary to adjust anything and everything within their vehicle, or staring at the screen of the phone. Nobody will ever see you if they are not looking in the first place.
This video was originally uploaded in February of 2014, I'm still driving. Not all other drivers upset me. I only showed several that did, and this was a collection over a period of about a week. as a passing thought, rather than try something else (consider road rage as a whole) maybe we as a society should expect better standards from the drivers on the road. Dare I suggest better training standards. Keep in mind, that because I'm on the road all day every day, I probably see more incidents and close calls in a month than the average person will see in a year. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Can I just say. That corner going in to Maygar St is crap purely because if you’ve not driven it before coming around the corner to find out that it’s a left hand only lane just does get you! I know some fuckers try it knowing full well but there should be more warning before the corner. It’s getting fucking ridiculous. I drive on it almost every day and have the same problem. It totally needs better signage!
LOL, Yeah, I'm hearing you on that one mate. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on a video uploaded in 2014.
I don’t live in Brissy but that left turn only on to Maygar street is a pain in the ass, been cut off there a few times. Well I’m pretty sure that’s Magyar
I for one have had enough of this arrogant behaviour, if someone tries this crap infront of me and they are legaly in the wrong, they pay. Some might say that I'm arrogant but by letting these idiots get away with their bad behaviour, it only encourages them to keep doing it!
to drive a manual as most of these truckies do they constantly have 1 hand on the gear stick n 1 on the wheel. People here need to go drive a truck to fully understand what these blokes n shelas put up with daily then we will see how many still blame the truckie
Oh, I'm sure that it's a part of the driving test. I'm also sure that after the test they do a data dump on the vast majority of the information, then continue with the I no longer give a sh!T attitude. We thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. This video is now quite a few years old. Please feel most welcome to explore the other videos on our channel, you just might find more videos that interest you.
@@swampmarshy it might be a few years old, but nothing has changed, I give up worrying about them, I was told by a copper years ago, treat every other driver as an idiot, and stay out of their way
In Thailand...if you've got a dash cam like you've got....and the number plates can be read....you go to the cops there...they give you 30% of the fines they recover from the culprits.... You've got 100 bucks just in this video here....
LOL. Now that is food for thought. I like Thailand, have traveled there quite a few times. I even have a video of it here on my channel. Thanks for the interesting information.
@@swampmarshy But in Thailand a bad situation is when someone jump out of their car with a machete....I smashed 2 of them like that and the police thank me.....
Really. I certainly never noticed it that bad on my travels there. I did notice a few in the Pattaya area, but they were mostly tourists that were drunk, not the Thai's.
There were a few instances there where there was plenty of room to let people in and they indicated reasonably. On the other hand some were unreasonable. Dash cams are making people create opportunities to be outraged!
Thank you for taking the time to comment respectfully. Please keep in mind that this was uploaded in 2014, and the camera being used was not the greatest. Please also keep in mind that the particular camera does tend to make other vehicles appear to be further away than they really are. as the sticker on your mirror possibly states, objects are closer than they appear. Believe me, as a truck driver I'm definitely NOT out there creating opportunities to be outraged, way too busy for that type of nonsense.
@@swampmarshyit's easy to see, so many couldn't be bothered cruising with the traffic. They take the "easy" (read: not smart or legal) way/s, cutting in from turning lanes, failing to Give Way when changing lanes, the usual. There also seems to be an abundance of Victim Blamers, also.
Yeah mate. I will admit that the thought of cutting them off if I really wanted to has crossed my mind more than once. But I kinda think that I would then be lowering myself to that which I complain about, and potentially risking a case of road rage against me. I really don't need the consequences of that type of situation. Thank you for your kind words about the slightly different view, and for taking the time to watch and comment. We really do appreciate it. Check out some of the other content on our channel, you never know what you might find.
@@swampmarshy I agree.. Maybe you can force the rules, and then have your truck out of operation and loosing money.. I just run defensive driving and aim to stay alive and still have a vehicle on the road at the end of the day. P.S. Mirrors are fair game in my book, and I have "allowed" a few to "Choose" to run off the side of the road.
Depends on the situation. Every situation is different. Some say no, that is their individual choice. We are all entitled to an opinion. But the days of unassisted steering with skinny cross ply tires and crap handling are well and truly over.
And I thought all the idiots picked on me! Looks like I have a soul brother......unfortunately you see these motoring dingbats on the road every day and in numbers
LOL :) No, they don't just pick on you mate. I've learnt that they definitely do like to share the experience with as many other road users as possible.
A lot of our roads weren't designed for this volume of traffic. There's very little in the way of straight roads either which makes getting around worse.
@@swampmarshy Most people never change. Easy solution is to turn the tunes on the car and cruise and leave a car space in front of the car ahead. Never have had an issue.
Yeah, this video was made several years ago. I don't drive this particular truck these days. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please also remember to check out some of the other videos on the channel
3:13, What I don't understand is how many people make that screw-up there. There are so many signs and road markings indicating that you MUST turn left there: ua-cam.com/video/gwpnPuERCww/v-deo.html
Arch Enemy because it's actually an action cam that I use as a dash cam. I also use it for many other videos. I just didn't want the expense of purchasing several cameras when just one will do what I want.
Your driving isn’t the best ether; I mean the clip at the 2.50 minute mark you left enough room to drive a bus between you and the truck in front so it’s your own fault, then you toot.. 🤪
OK, this video was uploaded in 2014, so I've had to have a good look and try to remember the details. The particular section of road is on a reasonable hill, approaching a set of lights that are notorious for changing quickly. If you look closely, you will notice that the truck in front is also moving slowly, anything to avoid stopping completely. Check the Left side mirror, you will notice that old mate in the car was behind me, he passes me in the "Left Turn Lane"then cuts across in front of me, simultaneously blocking the passage of the bus. All of that effort to simply gain a few seconds. But yes. Maybe I should have closed the gap further.
st th Thank you. As this video was uploaded quite a few years ago, I’m reminded of how much things have changed since then. I’ve not had a cigarette since early 2015, so use both hands now. Thank you, I feel better about myself now
Hey Dude. I just checked out your channel. Two uploads in two years, giving you a total of 11 views. Yeah, I'm really listening to your opinion. Don't give up though, this requires diligence. Thanks for the comment, it helps.

Drivers who need more than 1 hand to drive shouldn't have a driver's licence. Great video 👍

You are absolutely spot on correct mate.
No different in Townsville dig. Safety braking distance in front of you means at least 2-3 cars can fit in that space.
Yeah, and the bigger the truck, the bigger the distance. That means that the gap can fit in more cars. Simple hey.

@@swampmarshy But in Thailand a bad situation is when someone jump out of their car with a machete....I smashed 2 of them like that and the police thank me.....
@@jeanchardonnay5627 😮
@@swampmarshy 70% of drivers are drunk in Thailand....
Really. I certainly never noticed it that bad on my travels there. I did notice a few in the Pattaya area, but they were mostly tourists that were drunk, not the Thai's.
There were a few instances there where there was plenty of room to let people in and they indicated reasonably. On the other hand some were unreasonable. Dash cams are making people create opportunities to be outraged!
Thank you for taking the time to comment respectfully. Please keep in mind that this was uploaded in 2014, and the camera being used was not the greatest. Please also keep in mind that the particular camera does tend to make other vehicles appear to be further away than they really are. as the sticker on your mirror possibly states, objects are closer than they appear. Believe me, as a truck driver I'm definitely NOT out there creating opportunities to be outraged, way too busy for that type of nonsense.
@@swampmarshyit's easy to see, so many couldn't be bothered cruising with the traffic. They take the "easy" (read: not smart or legal) way/s, cutting in from turning lanes, failing to Give Way when changing lanes, the usual.
There also seems to be an abundance of Victim Blamers, also.
I hope thiswasnt all in one day
Thanks for the comment mate. If you check out the time stamps you'll notice that the various clips were collected over about 6 weeks or so.
1:23 that driver was inpatient for the light to go green if police were around there they would have pulled that idiot over
mate, you could have cut many off if you really wanted.....well put together video and love the view angel
Yeah mate. I will admit that the thought of cutting them off if I really wanted to has crossed my mind more than once. But I kinda think that I would then be lowering myself to that which I complain about, and potentially risking a case of road rage against me. I really don't need the consequences of that type of situation. Thank you for your kind words about the slightly different view, and for taking the time to watch and comment. We really do appreciate it. Check out some of the other content on our channel, you never know what you might find.
@@swampmarshy I agree.. Maybe you can force the rules, and then have your truck out of operation and loosing money.. I just run defensive driving and aim to stay alive and still have a vehicle on the road at the end of the day.
P.S. Mirrors are fair game in my book, and I have "allowed" a few to "Choose" to run off the side of the road.
Road rules seem to go out the window here in brisvegas lol. Liked & subscribed my man, stay safe
Thanks mate. Yeah, road rules are there simply to figure out how many are getting broken at the same time. Thanks for the like and the subscription.
No different to the UK mate 👍 🤣
need a bigger horn mate.
Yeah. ... This video was originally uploaded in 2014. I drive a bigger truck now, with a bigger horn LOL. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Typical Brisbane, only bettered by Toowoomba
LOL 😂
Driving with one hand on the wheel is ok?
Depends on the situation. Every situation is different. Some say no, that is their individual choice. We are all entitled to an opinion. But the days of unassisted steering with skinny cross ply tires and crap handling are well and truly over.
Unbelievable
And I thought all the idiots picked on me! Looks like I have a soul brother......unfortunately you see these motoring dingbats on the road every day and in numbers
LOL :) No, they don't just pick on you mate. I've learnt that they definitely do like to share the experience with as many other road users as possible.
Just a normal day on the roads in brisbane
Yeah mate, and over 4 years since I made this video, things haven't changed much at all :)
A lot of our roads weren't designed for this volume of traffic. There's very little in the way of straight roads either which makes getting around worse.
HAHA lived in Brisbane for 4 years.. nothing new to me....
Yeah, I'm sure. Just out of interest, this video was originally uploaded in 2014. It's almost frightening that nothing seems to have changed.
@@swampmarshy Most people never change. Easy solution is to turn the tunes on the car and cruise and leave a car space in front of the car ahead. Never have had an issue.
where every one races up the left turn lane and goes straight ahead i see it lots it a bad intersection
Your horn is too wimpy.
Yeah, this video was made several years ago. I don't drive this particular truck these days. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Please also remember to check out some of the other videos on the channel
Invest in two sets of train horns!
LOL. Now that's a thought.
3:13, What I don't understand is how many people make that screw-up there. There are so many signs and road markings indicating that you MUST turn left there:

Saw where I drive lol
Love the commentary
Why isnt your dashcam on your dash?
Arch Enemy because it's actually an action cam that I use as a dash cam. I also use it for many other videos. I just didn't want the expense of purchasing several cameras when just one will do what I want.
FUGA NINIES ARE EVERY WHERE!!!
Seems the drivers are bad but the professional truck driver isn't much better.
Your driving isn’t the best ether; I mean the clip at the 2.50 minute mark you left enough room to drive a bus between you and the truck in front so it’s your own fault, then you toot.. 🤪
OK, this video was uploaded in 2014, so I've had to have a good look and try to remember the details. The particular section of road is on a reasonable hill, approaching a set of lights that are notorious for changing quickly. If you look closely, you will notice that the truck in front is also moving slowly, anything to avoid stopping completely. Check the Left side mirror, you will notice that old mate in the car was behind me, he passes me in the "Left Turn Lane"then cuts across in front of me, simultaneously blocking the passage of the bus. All of that effort to simply gain a few seconds. But yes. Maybe I should have closed the gap further.
@@swampmarshy if it’s on a hill your 100 percent right, it’s pays to stay back at bit
Beautiful sound that lorry makes :)
Matej Cunderlik Yeah mate, it was one of the few good things about it, great little Cummins engine in it.
Is it a Hino ?
Matej Cunderlik No mate, that one was a JAC from China. It was a major disappointment and no longer part of the fleet.
Great video btw. Showing exactly all of the idiots on a daily basis.
Matej Cunderlik Thank you for your kind words.
pathetic control of truck , one handed holding a cig in the other
st th Thank you. As this video was uploaded quite a few years ago, I’m reminded of how much things have changed since then. I’ve not had a cigarette since early 2015, so use both hands now. Thank you, I feel better about myself now
@@swampmarshy Good for you
So boring
Hey Dude. I just checked out your channel. Two uploads in two years, giving you a total of 11 views. Yeah, I'm really listening to your opinion. Don't give up though, this requires diligence. Thanks for the comment, it helps.
@@swampmarshyMany years ago, someone told me "opinions are like aresholes. Everybody's got one". 🤣🤣
