Ive driven defensively since day 1 of driving around 5 years ago. Havent gotten into any accidents, but soo many times ive had to react spontaneously to somebody doing something stupid that could have caused an accident
My short time in New West today; Feb 12 (30 minutes) I was: 1). Cut off by a UPS delivery driver that ran a stop sign. 2). Watched pedestrians on a flashing lit crosswalk by Royal Columbian (father and little girl) have to jump back from three separate drivers that ran the light 3). One driver that drove along the shoulder as if it was a driving lane, and 4). Cut off by a driver that that had no clue how to stay in their turning lane at a two turning lane intersection. This is out of control!
@6:22 That spot on Lougheed in PoCo is horrible for that, especially when it rains and it dark/low light. That's my route to work in Maple Ridge, and I actively stay aware in that stretch because people are always going strait when the lane bends around the bus stop. You can even see 2 cars do it there in this video. I see that almost daily, they should honestly consider redesigning it.
PoCo really needs to do something about it. I have also seen multiple cars not following the lines, because in rain those black lines reflect the light and become white, while the white lines become impossible to see
No joke! Usually I see videos where a dump truck is driving around WITH THE BED RAISED, and so this was a first for me to see a crane truck doing the exact same thing by driving with the supports extended. Forgive me if I"m not using the correct jargon.
tip for looking left and then right... look left momentarily, look right but hold your gaze so you can judge speed of the incoming (if any) vehicles and then look left again to be able to gauge speed of those who will hit you first... works most times.
Once a Bike was Lane Splitting(not Legal in Alberta). Since Traffic was stopped I figured it was a good time to open my Door as it wasn't fully Latched...
When I lived in Ontario I would chalk up most collisions to incompetence/inabilty/stupidity or medical events. Now I've lived on Vancouver Island for 4 years and assume every collision is a DUI. Its crazy how prevalent drunk driving is here, seemingly.
6:22 is that lougheed through poco area? That spot is actually pretty difficult at times when the light is at the right angle and the road is wet with the cracks and faded lines
6:01, No! Driving on the shoulder is totally irresponsible and annoying for drivers to use the shoulder as a driving lane! Shoulder’s are only allowed for drivers to use it in case of problems including car accidents, stalled vehicles, medical incident, and etc!
3:38, Because people don’t know how to drive properly, that’s why! If people don’t know how to drive properly, then they should lose their licence big time or go back to driving school and learn to be a better driver next time! This is outrageous when people don’t follow the rules on the road!
I think people who a lot of this kind of crazy/stupid stuff just think/feel like they won't get caught. They know what they are doing but if you cannot or have no ability to enforce the laws, they feel it is a free pass to do w/e they want to.
this is just normal everyday driving for vancouver. nothing to see here🤣 it's also part of the reason icky bicky rates are thru the roof in the lower mainland.
1:11, The person in the van was going out of the parking spot at the parkcade, and instead of going left or right he ended up crashing the pillar at the parkcade!
@6:24 I've done that in that exact spot!! luckily the person beside me was paying attention i felt like such a dumb ass... it really should be fixed :/
1:20 Dash cam driver could have driven a bit slower here.. Having said that, poor decision by the KIA driver. 2:25 I dunno, seems like they knew what they were doing, until they didn't... 3:51 For those who do that sort of thing, careful. You might be encountering someone infinitely more crazy than you. Don't bring a knife to a gunfight. 4:25 Another member of the #MeFirst movement. 4:36 There's a red car, there's a red car, there's a red car.... There isn't a red car. lol 5:19 This is where I explain to people that if you end up in the wrong lane, OWN it. Make the turn. Find a way to get back on track. Stop making everyone else wait for you. 5:45 If I'm making the rules, they'll be given their license back once they complete a mandatory defensive driving course and comprehensive road test. 6:10 That lane is for important #MeFirst drivers only. 6:55 Holy sh!t, you guys don't have AirCare anymore? I remember the frustration of having to get work done to my POS Excel just to renew my insurance... 7:28 Once again.... If you end up in the wrong lane, own it. JFC.
That biker who stalled his bike looked like he was, shall we say, affiliated with a group that enjoys using loud Harleys and riding in large groups on occasion.
5:51, #1 vehicle was parked his car on the bike lane! #2, vehicle blocked the bike lane and the crosswalk for no reason! #3, car in front of vehicle #2, was blocking vehicle #2 from getting into the parkcade!
0:17 - HA prospects have been rejected for less. 1:11 - Damn I think I've been in that parking lot. 2:35 - I'm so fucking sick of people who do this. ... 2:50 and this. ... 3:24 AND this. 5:21 - His daddy will just wire him the money to buy another one, because he needs it for uhhh "studying" (Not studying how to drive, obviously) . 6:13 - Tried to stop, skidded, then since he wasn't going to make that stop, just stopped braking so he could go all the way through. 7:02 - Delta police at their usual spot on 17.
Thanks for the feedback and for watching! I do commentary to make my channel unique and because often there is no background noise in the videos/I can't play the background music for copyright issues. I got lots of videos without commentary though!
surrey King George hub. Dumb design as they have never have thought what happens when they put the parking lot far away from the restaurants where those food delivery drivers need to access. Obviously don't justify them parking illegally, but people will follow the path of least resistant. should see that roundabout behind the POV car, at least 3 cars always parks in the roundabout lol.
4:02 truck drivers are trained to perform an S-turn maneuver that prevents a car coming up the inside of a turn. I think you have a large viewing platform showing bad drivers in the lower mainland and BC but this channel fails to use this platform as a teaching aid that it can so easily be used as. Inform drivers of actual road rules, so few actually know them.
I was taught to never go inside of an oversized vehicle that by necessity is making a wide right turn. I don't know if they stopped teaching that in driving school, or if some people do not remember.
I just wanted to say you guys rock for watching my videos! That is all
You rock as well keep up the good work
You rock my UA-cam world 😍
Thank you Vancouver Worst Drivers Dashcam! You rock as well! You’re my favourite person ever!
@@user-zm2or2ct9t thanks 😊
u rock!
I laughed way to hard at the line "I guess its 2024, you can identify as a cyclist of you want"
I identify as an 'Oversize Load' truck.
3:57: As a truck driver, you're actually correct about this. We're trained to not leave enough space for a car on the inside for this exact reason.

if you cant see DONT PROCEED
That giant pole on the truck is called an outrigger 😌
Good to know! But usually they're up I'm told?
@@vancouversworstdriversthey are usually retracted into the truck. That’s a concrete pump truck.

Giant pole= outrigger for stability while using crane
Gotta make sure is locked in before driving away 🤦♂️

Thank you so much for posting this video; I really love the series, and as always, love to play the 'what intersection is this?' game!
I know I drive past some of this crash locations and think about the story of what that area has been through lol

I wonder what the common denominator is for all the all bad drivers in Vancouver ?
1/4 Tesla Drivers + 1/4 Mercedes Drivers + 1/4 BMW Drivers + 1/4 Chinese Drivers
I truly live for these videos. Thanks for another one!
Thanks so much for watching!
6:01, No! Driving on the shoulder is totally irresponsible and annoying for drivers to use the shoulder as a driving lane! Shoulder’s are only allowed for drivers to use it in case of problems including car accidents, stalled vehicles, medical incident, and etc!
0:33 - are we out of overpasses to hit, that they need to go for the sides now?
@5:48 I see 5 Violations? Correct?
That's my guess too
5:29 almost certainly a Chinese international student lmao
I just failed my driver's exam due to someone who tried to overtake me when I was merging on an avenue 🤦🏻♂️

Awesome video thank you Vancouver Worst Drivers Dashcam! You’re awesome!
Thanks for always watching!
The blue car at 4:00 most certainly made contact with the front wheel of the dump truck.... Watch it hop around the turn.
Driving on the shoulder is not new. I saw it happening in Vancouver back in the 1980's.
0:50 was recently a witness to an accident like this! It was traumatic even if i was not involved at all!!
And I thought it was getting bad on the Island!
1:11, The person in the van was going out of the parking spot at the parkcade, and instead of going left or right he ended up crashing the pillar at the parkcade!
To make things fair. Everyone should drive with cautious, even though you have the right of way
6:22, Not to mention, the vehicle was driving in the new bus lane when he is not a bus!
@6:24 I've done that in that exact spot!! luckily the person beside me was paying attention i felt like such a dumb ass... it really should be fixed :/
1:18 is the parking lot to ICBC driver services Langley. Could have been someone doing a road test...lol.
1:20 Dash cam driver could have driven a bit slower here.. Having said that, poor decision by the KIA driver.
2:25 I dunno, seems like they knew what they were doing, until they didn't...

You should change the name to “Vancouvers daily drivers”
called HongKouver for a reason
They are canadians. Even Americans know canadians can’t drive. I saw 4 BC plates crashed on interstate 5 in less than an hour
@@user-ok9me1qb6y hong. Kou. Ver.
Some people call it HongDelhiCouver.
@@daisydomergue9047 blame true dope for all the immigration lol
@@daisydomergue9047 meh, no sympathy from me. It’s funny actually. Karma maybe
4:23 I can’t stand when people do this!!
He did it again at the next red light lol (not shown on this video).
6:49 there were plenty of these smokers all through AirCare, so they all passed somehow. It was always just a tax on normal law abiding people.
So true!
That biker who stalled his bike looked like he was, shall we say, affiliated with a group that enjoys using loud Harleys and riding in large groups on occasion.
Most definitely
Enjoy your content!!💚Vancouver island!!👍
Thanks for watching :)
If the other person made you involved in the accident. Might as well go full hardcore and scare them for life
5:51, #1 vehicle was parked his car on the bike lane! #2, vehicle blocked the bike lane and the crosswalk for no reason! #3, car in front of vehicle #2, was blocking vehicle #2 from getting into the parkcade!
Vancouver, where the pedestrians are just as bad as the drivers!
4:35 The driver must be terrified when seeing this happening in front of him
0:17 - HA prospects have been rejected for less.
1:11 - Damn I think I've been in that parking lot.
2:35 - I'm so fucking sick of people who do this. ... 2:50 and this. ... 3:24 AND this.

7:02 - Delta police at their usual spot on 17.
it's too easy to get a driver's license out here. i see crazy shit in victoria constantly, should probably get a cam.
Love it! Don't need to narrate though my bro.

Glad you enjoyed them :)
4:01 dude u have to wait for the truck!!
1:21 driver didnt even look left, passanger saw it too late
Definition of a stupid Vancouver driver.
Using your turn signal as you turn, not before.
It's to bad we can't send in videos with license plates showing, to the cops so they can be ticketed in the mail.

3:29 cammer was running a red light so giving kudos to breaking the law is cool now because he avoided another douche canoe? 🙄
Did you get a new mic or have a cold or something? You sound different….
Nope!
@@vancouversworstdrivers hmmm, maybe I have to clean my ears! Lol
@@kellyb3211 maybe my mic was further away than usual
At 2:10 I had to watch it again because I missed it
So hard to see it's scary!
Congratulations you’re channel has gotten big enough that you’d attracted bots
Haha it's a sign I've made it 🤣
1:16 distracted my guess
2:19, Medical incident, Driving like an Idiot, Cutting people off, Not using signal/indicator, Drinking while driving.
5:54 5
I wish I could gift you a C8! 😜
Me too :p
this is just a ron compilation

5:51 is 100% Uber Eats and DoorDash drivers. Zero regard for anyone else.
So true! The more you drive the less they care about driving or being careful
