I frequent all these areas and I struggle to remain vigilant because Seattle drivers ARE THE WORST. My greatest fear is imma be watching myself on here one day....
the worst part is that statistically Seattle drivers are some of the best in the nation. Cars are just dangerous, and people dive them like they aren't. @@JesseHenderson-xc2kg
@zoltarpanaflex3694 I unfortunately have been. Turning left on green arrow on Dearborn, got hit by a drunk in a stolen car going about 60. Took off the front end of my pickup. It was 10+ years ago or Id probably be featured here too...
Who told you they hate your voice? They can just shut up. You have a good sense of humor, too. I liked the "them Duke boys are at it again" quote for that Spokane street bridge crash.
I've lived in metro Seattle for 54 of my 56 years. I can confirm that our drivers are lunatics and are likely some of the worst in the entire country. Tailgating is horrible, speed limit and yield signs are ignored, and most of our vehicles apparently have no turn signals!
My first time here, thanks for an unintentional touch on my screen. I really enjoyed your narration. Refreshingly simple and without a lot of stupid guesses. Thanks.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm not able to upload as often as I used to (newborn at home) but I have a lot of great older videos, and I'll still be putting new ones up when I can.
Just found this channel. I lived in Seattle for a long time and, I miss it very much. But, I don't miss the creative traffic issues! Thank you for the commentary!
I immediately liked and subscribed! I am an outside salesperson and drive all of these streets to meet with clients. I cannot believe the clarity and action you reported! I was speechless. Great job and excellent narrative and reporting! This taught me to further slow down, be patient and exercise grace and patience. Bravo!
Enjoy your compilations--just came across your channel yesterday! I lived in the Northgate area for many years, but over in Bremerton now & glad I don't have to drive often, but even over here, very attentive! (As no shortage of ragers & texters here, too).
I enjoy your low-key sense of humor. With those kinds of drivers, Seattle's auto insurance rates must be very expensive. Thanks for taking the time to find and upload these crazy crashes for us.
Have no idea why this was in my algorithm, but I am glad I stayed to watch. Funny, messed up crashes, but somehow your voice made it bearable. Guess I'll have to subscribe, for more of your videos lol
Believe me it’s not just Seattle…people drive like 💩everywhere!! The biggest problem is everyone who is driving is too damn busy doing everything but driving!! Phone in one hand,burger in the other and a Starbucks in their lap!! If people would just pay attention to the driving a little about half of these crashes wouldn’t have happened!!
Yeah, I believe it - I'm sure if there were traffic cameras like this everywhere, we'd see just as many crashes. And I agree, distracted driving is a huge issue - it's so frustrating. Thanks for watching!
The first time I ever drove my moms 4runner was when I was leaving seattle. Do to damaged front fenders I didnt need to drive aggressive and people on the freeway would flee away thinking I was gonna crash into them due to it being a big ass vehicle with front fender damage.
Washington resident here, just got my car insurance notice yesterday. Can see why it went up. Keep all those people in Seattle, don't let them come over to the Peninsula to get away from it all.
It's such an engineering fail to have the light rail interact with motor vehicles, or for there to be a potential for collision, ever. Great job, Seattle.
Such a fail! And especially since so many folks use it to get to the airport ... nothing like missing your flight because a driver ignored a left turn arrow....
It is nice to see what happened with some of the cars that come into my impound lot being shown here. the Corvette that just went into the middle greenbelt was something I was sort of interested what the story with it was.
Oh fun, I love that you recognize some of the cars. Yeah, the Corvette looked like it just accelerated too hard while turning left onto Mercer, and the wet roads got them. Thanks for watching!
I lived in Atlanta and Savannah, and I rarely saw people crash into cars parked on the sides of the street. The number of people who not only clip but fully accordion smash parked cars with no other traffic around them up here is insane. And they're usually going less than 45. It boggles the mind that they've got parallel parking down pat but can't drive in a straight line.
Yeah, and it happens so often too - I've witnessed or driven past at least a half dozen similar crashes in my neighborhood over the past year or so, that weren't captured on camera. So frustrating. Thanks for watching!
My guess on the first clip is that one of the 2 cars ran a red light, and was in the intersection when they weren't supposed to be, causing the one to panic and swerve into the building
You driving a motor vehicle is a privilege granted to someone who successfully passes a driver's education course and a licensing test administered by a tester/instructor with the department of motor vehicles, whose issues a driver's license to those who pass. The video I just watched makes me wonder how many of "drivers" are actually licensed to be on the road in the first place.
YES! People treat driving way too casually. I'm really not sure if it's a licensing issue, or just a culture issue where most people think it's acceptable to speed / drive distracted / etc. My dream is that someday driving while on your phone has the same stigma as driving while intoxicated (which still happens WAY too often). Thanks for watching!
Oh wow, hope you're doing okay! I don't have access to the WSDOT cameras on I-5; right now those are only available to media organizations that pay for them.
How did you get access to the cam recordings? I was hit by a 72 yo person, cited for DWI... but he denies running a red light and I would like to find footage. Dec 1st 2023, 5p at 99 and 80th. West most, soundbound lane.
Hi, unfortunately the archiving site I have access to only stores the footage for about a week. Incidents at 80th usually aren't visible anyway, as the closest camera is way up at 87th and Aurora.
Western Washington has the worst drivers I've ever seen, and it just gets worse the closer to Seattle you get... wish people would bother to just slow down, pay attention, and be considerate. Oh, and DRIVE SOBER!
I'm looking for camera footage of my hit & run on Wed Nov 6th between 10:15-10:22 pm @ the intersection of 4th Ave S & S Spokane St under the W Seattle Bridge. I was in a blue minivan hit by a black 4runner who was speeding in the wrong one-way of traffic (going east in a westbound lane) of S Spokane St. Police & SDOT/City are not helping me.
Hmm .... that might be something I could add in the future, but at the moment I barely have time to gather the clips and do the voiceover. It looks like the road rage one was from late March 2024. Thanks for watching!
Watching this video reminded me of the time I spent in Seattle, Everett and Marysville in 2022. (I went there to see Tommy James & The Shondells at the casino - can’t remember what the name of it was right off hand). One of my not-so-fun experiences there was not being able to find a bathroom when I needed it. I sure hope that none of the drivers in this video inadvertently “went” when each of these crashes occurred 😂
It's so ridiculous that we don't have more public bathrooms in Seattle! I understand why, ie concerns about the homeless / drug use / etc, but still... I'd be willing to pay a dollar or two to use a clean public restroom, and I bet a lot of other folks would too!
3:28 The poor kid driving the van was so distraught. His mom came to pick him up about half hour after the crash. The building isn’t fully repaired after all this time. Also the Honda parked at the corner is still there.
Oh wow, that must have been so scary for a young driver. I hadn't thought to see if it was repaired when I've driven by recently - I'm surprised it's taking that long. Lol @ the Honda - thanks for watching!
100% hate the tow truck guy who rear-ended the parked Uhaul, but that online review where the people admit that they brake checked him are just as bad if not worse. If someone is tailgating you, don't brake check them. That's far worse.
When they car do you dead to rights cutting across several lanes of traffic or just cruising through a red light and causing a crash, they should immediately take away your license for at least a year.
It's a great place to live! There are bad drivers everywhere - I'm sure you could make videos like this in any city that had as many live streaming cams as Seattle.
Yay WSB. Ive seen so many nutsos flying down that thing, changing lanes like they are in a rally race. Or trying to take 99 north exit at speed and playing pinball with the ramp barriers.
Oh yeah, I wish there were more cameras on the bridge / exits - it seems like there are a ton of crashes there. There used to be a camera on the WSB around Delridge, but it's been down for at least a year.
It's pretty scummy to automatically and only assume accidents are committed by losers not paying attention. Sometimes people have real and serious medical emergencies while behind the wheel. Didn't get insulin in time, had a stroke or heart attack, a mental health episode, and any other number of things. I don't appreciate your holier-than-thou attitude in these commentaries.
"Park-anywhere-lights on" LMAO
In Pennsylvania we similarly call them "Park wherever I want lights" when used improperly. lol
Makes me wonder what other synonym saying there are out there for them.
I do enjoy seeing all the familiar spots in Seattle, and glad my truck isn't featured as a victim in any of these clips! Thank you!

seattle needs all the public transit it can get to get as many people off cars, ive never seen worse drivers than in seattle and ive been in miami
OMG 100% I've lived in both Miami and Seattle and even Miami drivers aren't this GOD AWFUL!
People suck everywhere, bro.
I’d agree but drivers would still manage to hit public transit XD
@@jamesjazz3395 most of my time spent driving ive been in texas and its a pretty clear difference, seattle drivers are often mega clueless

It was definitely a team effort - I appreciated everyone whose driving skills let me make this video 😂
I like your voice! It's unique and comforting. I'd take a real voice over an AI voice anyday.

These are awesome! You’re almost to 10k. I’m jealous. I’m about 2000 behind you!

And this is why dash cams are great
100% - I never drive without my dashcam anymore. Thanks for watching!
Hey , hey! Been gone for a bit! Glad to see the new video! Me thinks the drivers have gotten worse! Nice narration!! Who doesn't loke your voice 😂😂!?
Yeah, it's good to be back! I agree - I feel like things have gotten even worse since Covid... Thanks for watching!!

Washington resident here, just got my car insurance notice yesterday. Can see why it went up. Keep all those people in Seattle,
don't let them come over to the Peninsula to get away from it all.
Lol, just got mine too and it also went up - so frustrating!
I wish people in seattle didn't drive with blindfolds on, really impairs the sight
We don't use umbrellas when it's raining, but we DO wear sunglasses at night (apparently).
Haha, yeah, it does impair the sight but it keeps the dangerous sun out of our eyes 😂
My 2013 Chevrolet Impala was rear ended in King County. My 2013 Chevrolet Impala has no dashcam, but my 2016 Buick Envision does.

Hopefully you can see a camera in Georgetown on airport way at lucille st, cause the dot did a lane shift within the last month
I'm headed to the Broadview Taphouse which is right next to the building struck at 3:28 lol. Best drive slowly!
My guess on the first clip is that one of the 2 cars ran a red light, and was in the intersection when they weren't supposed to be, causing the one to panic and swerve into the building
That would definitely make sense, and the one that swerved was just going way too fast to stop. That's a good guess!

It's definitely a fair question!
I've driven in many countries and all over the U.S.A...Seattle is the worst Portland is just as bad and Las Vegas is no better...
I counted 7
But bicycles are the problem😂
How many of these drivers are high? High on weed? That’s what some look like
Yeah, I'm sure that plays a role in a fair number of these crashes. Thanks for watching!
