That was piss poor driving all around there. Swervin Mervyn in the silver sedan was an idiot for driving like that in peak traffic into the sun; his rival in the red crackerjack box car was travelling too close to the car in front of him (he seems to have narrowly avoided a collision at first, then he rolled into the car in front anyway); and old mate with the dashcam was also travelling too close, then sped up to get even closer. At least he had the wherewithal to swerve around instead of locking the brakes.

@@jodie01last thing most twitch drivers want is to be in an a crash if they can avoid. Some are terrible at avoiding it, but doing it on purpose is generally unlikely.

2:50 Yeah, a video from my home town Eastwood - brings back memories - 15 years ago I was a motorcyclist riding in the direction towards the youtube viewer and a taxi did exactly what the Tesla did - T-boned me and I was off the seat with only my hands holding on to the bars and heading straight to a telegraph pole before my feet sat down onto the pegs and I was able to narrowly miss the pole. Needless to say - the taxi didn't stop, a witness got a partial plate (his first words "I can't believe you're alive") and the livery was obvious and Eastwood cops were next to useless (I'm tempted to say the constable was a man with special needs and was probably commuted to the station each day from his rubber wall-lined sanctuary in a yellow bus)

I still maintain that the proliferation of automatic cars is a huge factor in the generally awful driving i see again and again, it makes driving so "easy" that it translate into people being lazy, not paying attention because they are not engaged in the act of driving.
Autos and SUVs. Both phenomena insulate drivers from their surroundings, and indeed from driving itself. Also, cars are now awash with tech wizardry and features that have all to do with comfort and nothing to do with vehicle control/interface. Hence the zombie effect.
@@morgy301 Who said they were sending it in 'thinking they were right'? It's a close call for dash cam driver + an accident in front. It's interesting and that is probably why they shared it.
@@lamborghini0610 ok let’s reword that. Imagine sending a clip to DCOA displaying god-awful driving by the cammer themselves It also isn’t interesting, its just another shitty example of how terrible drivers are on australian roads.
To be fair it was a pretty good wheelie, reasonable throttle control (was a bit too on & off - smooth is better), and good rear brake control. Not to say the tool should be doing that on a public road though.
I generally like to think of myself as a good person who doesnt want to see see anyone hurt, but I gotta admit, I was deffo muttering "Come on, overdo the showing off & wreck yer bike, ya nutsack" repeatedly whilst watching that... 🤦🏻♀️
14:56 Too be fair, that was a pretty good wheelie considering the rider is doing over 90 clicks! Also, it was the only really exciting footage in this weeks compilation. 👍
"To be fair, that was a pretty stupid wheelie especially as the rider is doing over 90 clicks! Hope he gets the licence suspension, multi-thousand dollar fines and bike seized very soon" - there I fixed it for you.
@@AnotherDoug To be fair, you shouldn't use quotation marks unless you are directly quoting something. Are you quoting yourself? Back to English class for you Douglas. 🙄
Love the look of complete what the fuck are you doing in the face of the vw golf driver that just changed lane in the blind spot of the semi and got crunched. No idea at all that he just caused the collision. People that think it is a good idea to use heavy vehicles as targets to merge in front of are true legends and deserve the darwin awards they often earn.
the idiot nearly lost his hand too. the look on his face was priceless, like a man child who has had everything given to him and cant understand why a truck wouldnt give way
Some MAJORLY DISTRACTED drivers here. Cammer @ 8:08 ran the red too. All over Australia there are thousands of roads with HUGE arrows painted on them to let drivers know which side of the road they should be driving on. Somehow so many can't seem to be able to follow directions.
Yellow means stop if safe to do so. The cammer was about 20m from the intersection, in which case its safest to proceed at the speed they were going. The only unsafe thing was the vehicle from the right turn only lane moving to the left halfway through the intersection, and if not for that the cammer would have been well clear by the time the all red phase finished. As a rule, if you are fully stopped before the light turns red, you shouldn't have stopped (unless you're moving really slow, i.e. heavily congested traffic).
Yeah that was borderline. They could have stopped when the car in front braked, and I probably would have, but I don’t think they can be blamed either.
@johnnichol9412 at the end of the day, there are standards for linemarking. The vehicles position relative to the solid line approaching the intersection tells me the vehicle was within 20m of the intersection, and 34km/h is still about 10 metres per second. Given that we set timing for lights with the presumption of a 2 second reaction time, which the law accounts for, over 85% of drivers would have passed through that yellow under the same circumstances.
0:00 That van has a bit of grunt. 0:28 The anticipation! 0:51 Driver of the Toyota should probably be thankful they abandoned that merge, because otherwise they'd have been caught up in that nose-to-tail. 1:06 I had to re-watch this because I was focused on the pedestrians. 2:48 I was waiting for someone to change lanes to the right, but then the X pulled a pro-gamer move. 3:45 and 16:40 Wouldn't be a DCOA compilation without submissions from Cabo/MField. 6:28 The absolute lack of fucks this guy gives. 6:49 Just amazing how he looks _directly at_ the truck, but doesn't move to get back out of the way until it hits him. 14:54 Consider me impressed, future organ donor. 17:54 Must have already started on their Dan Murphy's Click n Collect order?

4:00 The NASCAR swerve worked out for the P-plater. 8:05 Two idiots here, the one turning across traffic and the one contravening the yellow light when he had time to stop. 8:54 Guess where I'm going?
All the problems created by aggressive and distracted driving are often compounded by incredibly poor road layout seemingly designed to cause traffic conflict.
Hmm 🤔, p'raps needed to turn right? You know - normal stuff. Maybe spent too long checking mirror. Didn't notice traffic banking up more abruptly in windscreen. Happens.
You have to wonder if some of these radical moves going around people stopped at lights is because someone is having a baby in the backseat, or a heart attack or if they just gotta get home to the dunny real qwik 😂
I didn't know that when emergency services have their lights and sirens going, we're supposed to pull right out in front of them. It's true hey, we do learn something every day
Is there a way to get people who submit videos to say where it happened? Be interesting for people to see the spots in their cities that have the most incidents.
The next Yes or No vote in Australia should be this. Can Dash cams be used to help Police get imbeciles off the road. Because in the NT, it's not considered "evidence".
@@Markus_Andrew I had DC video evidence of a lady on her phone but was told by police that it was police official and it wouldn't hold up if it went to court 🫤
Third party video as the only evidence is tricky as there are chain of evidence issues, proof of authenticity, etc. can be used along with other evidence in more serious crimes. At least that’s my understanding. #armchairlawyer lol.
@@Markus_Andrew I was told 2 reasons. Firstly you often can't see the driver and so can't prove in court who was in control of the vehicle at the time. My personal thought on this is that if it wasn't reported stolen and you won't name the driver then you take the fine. The other reason is "Chain of custody" which ensures the video isn't tampered with. A police video can be tracked every second of the way, not true for a civilian one. Odd really, they'll accept my testimony that "Yes, that's the driver of the vehicle. I saw him" but not my video showing the guy driving the vehicle. It may be that laws haven't kept up with technology, I think most were written in the days of grainy VHS. "Yes, the armed robber was a tall, grey blur".

13:52 It's so satisfying to watch two idiots take each other out at the same time.
The entitlement of some BMW drivers, is something else. Karma's a bitch. It was beautiful to watch.
I still maintain that the proliferation of automatic cars is a huge factor in the generally awful driving i see again and again, it makes driving so "easy" that it translate into people being lazy, not paying attention because they are not engaged in the act of driving.
Autos and SUVs. Both phenomena insulate drivers from their surroundings, and indeed from driving itself. Also, cars are now awash with tech wizardry and features that have all to do with comfort and nothing to do with vehicle control/interface. Hence the zombie effect.
Fred Flintstone cars would make it safer still
correct. A stick-shift and clutch used to keep off the roads plenty of people who had no business being on the roads.
Stick and clay tablet made writing neater too.
Been saying this for years.
Australia has such nice roads. Pity no one can drive properly
They have cracks and pot holes everywhere.
10:03 I was thinking it was a car and thought "He ain't gunna make that gap"
10:49 A wild Zubat appears!
1:00 DCer needs to tear up its license, that was terrible
imagine sending in that clip thinking you're in the right
@@morgy301 Who said they were sending it in 'thinking they were right'? It's a close call for dash cam driver + an accident in front. It's interesting and that is probably why they shared it.
@@lamborghini0610 ok let’s reword that.
Imagine sending a clip to DCOA displaying god-awful driving by the cammer themselves
It also isn’t interesting, its just another shitty example of how terrible drivers are on australian roads.
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t It's a perfect example of why DCOA exists.
@@user-vk4vd7vr5t All these videos are examples of shitty driving...if it's not interesting why are you watching them?
16:19 mark is Rosebud, not surprised that happened. Seen alot of tourists doing that, going on the wrong side of Point Nepean Road.
Seems he was waving cam car through, he went slow to hold traffic. Maybe he felt bad for cutting in front
@15:00 The ute drivers like 'look at the skill this bike riders got' I cant even keep my car in the lane
Ute driver more likely filming the idiot?
To be fair it was a pretty good wheelie, reasonable throttle control (was a bit too on & off - smooth is better), and good rear brake control. Not to say the tool should be doing that on a public road though.
Better start putting Braille on the controls of the car and trucks
1.55, you can see the ute not slowing down from a distance. If I encountered that I would slow down in anticipation they would not give way to right.
Yep, zero awareness from both drivers
@15:10 we see the mating display of a motorcyclist as he attempts to attract the attention of the white vehicle.
Seriously? That was his mate in the white ute filming him for content to upload to TikTok under their username imafngoose
I generally like to think of myself as a good person who doesnt want to see see anyone hurt, but I gotta admit, I was deffo muttering "Come on, overdo the showing off & wreck yer bike, ya nutsack" repeatedly whilst watching that... 🤦🏻♀️
I like how the reflection @14:48 looks like a tire spike trap across the road.
10:41 one runs a yellow and the other ran a red. real smart.
18:20 - I thought they were taking a shortcut for parking. Nope - just jumping the queue.
14:56 Too be fair, that was a pretty good wheelie considering the rider is doing over 90 clicks! Also, it was the only really exciting footage in this weeks compilation. 👍
"To be fair, that was a pretty stupid wheelie especially as the rider is doing over 90 clicks! Hope he gets the licence suspension, multi-thousand dollar fines and bike seized very soon" - there I fixed it for you.
@@AnotherDoug To be fair, you shouldn't use quotation marks unless you are directly quoting something. Are you quoting yourself? Back to English class for you Douglas. 🙄
Thought I would have made this video after my shenanigans the other week. Guess I'll have to wait until week 3.
Are you saying you didn't survive this week on the road? 🙁
This is my whole day rolled into one 😆
7:23 golf driver is the sort of guy who gets lost in a shower.
With a map and hand written directions.."doi"🤓
12:45 surely the cammer knew that the other car hadn't seen their lane change until too late.
Given how close the turning car was to being T-boned by the oncoming taxi, it's perhaps reasonable to assume its driver was watching the DC car?
Well he did brake then toot. So his reactions were pretty good. No way that car should have pulled out then.
1:32 Dashcam! And that awkward laugh should be the closing for every video from now.
Love the look of complete what the fuck are you doing in the face of the vw golf driver that just changed lane in the blind spot of the semi and got crunched. No idea at all that he just caused the collision. People that think it is a good idea to use heavy vehicles as targets to merge in front of are true legends and deserve the darwin awards they often earn.
the idiot nearly lost his hand too. the look on his face was priceless, like a man child who has had everything given to him and cant understand why a truck wouldnt give way
Some MAJORLY DISTRACTED drivers here. Cammer @ 8:08 ran the red too. All over Australia there are thousands of roads with HUGE arrows painted on them to let drivers know which side of the road they should be driving on. Somehow so many can't seem to be able to follow directions.
Yellow means stop if safe to do so. The cammer was about 20m from the intersection, in which case its safest to proceed at the speed they were going. The only unsafe thing was the vehicle from the right turn only lane moving to the left halfway through the intersection, and if not for that the cammer would have been well clear by the time the all red phase finished.
As a rule, if you are fully stopped before the light turns red, you shouldn't have stopped (unless you're moving really slow, i.e. heavily congested traffic).
@@johnnichol9412 he was only that far back because of an emergency stop to avoid a collision. Not exactly reasonable to judge based on that.
Yeah that was borderline. They could have stopped when the car in front braked, and I probably would have, but I don’t think they can be blamed either.
@@Cheesus-Slicedso wrong you are.
@johnnichol9412 at the end of the day, there are standards for linemarking. The vehicles position relative to the solid line approaching the intersection tells me the vehicle was within 20m of the intersection, and 34km/h is still about 10 metres per second. Given that we set timing for lights with the presumption of a 2 second reaction time, which the law accounts for, over 85% of drivers would have passed through that yellow under the same circumstances.
And in this weeks instalment of "are roundabouts just a suggestion" we have ...
That little knowing wave @11:17 from one ambulance driver to another...
1:39 Ive got to hand it to these bad drivers who always make their exit: their commitment to getting to work on time is total. (Twit at 17:16 too)
How about the dash cammer in that clip who came to a complete stop in the middle! Talk about drama queen
Man in a Van without a Plan 🤣
"Man in a Van without a Plan 🤣"
Seems more like man in a van who has nothing to lose.🤣
20:32 one of my pet hates is drivers speeding in car parks, karma delivers 2 for the price of 1 here
Drivers who don't stop for any emergency vehicle should get a big fine and a suspension
30 lashes of a whip.
Instant loss of license!
@ 16:55. Right outside of people's homes. What a F/A.
I wonder if the G Wagen following was also part of the meth gang proceeds....
average lebo wedding
Another super elegant Sydney wedding at 17mins.
@ 0:55 - DC car go zoom zoom now into stopped traffic! gotta close that gap fast or someone might take it! BBBrrrrBBBRrrrRRRrrrRRrr
So smart; I bet the other car felt so silly not getting to join in the 'stacks on'.
🤣🤣
0:45 This is a very dangerous road situation, how did they ever come up with this ? 🙄🙄🤦♂🤦♂
If these are the weekly compilations imagine the crashes compilation 😳
Given the cost of motorbike tyres, I'm surprised people do burnouts with them
Gotta spend those cocaine and meth profits on something.
@MeppyMan Just a Leb wedding .. its not like its law abiding people
how many things did that last one do.
glad we introduced deer to australia.
I was going to ask what sort of kangaroo that was ....
@20:31 Both the cammer and car in front are going way too fast in that car park
People in expensive cars need to sit a drivers test before being able to buy their cars. So dangerous and not risk adverse
0:17 my money is totes on the van 🤣🤣
Yep. Drive it like it's got a huge batch of meth in the back.
Like a banged up 90's model Toyota hi-ace could outrun a tuned BMW police car haha
0:00 That van has a bit of grunt.
0:28 The anticipation!
0:51 Driver of the Toyota should probably be thankful they abandoned that merge, because otherwise they'd have been caught up in that nose-to-tail.
1:06 I had to re-watch this because I was focused on the pedestrians.
2:48 I was waiting for someone to change lanes to the right, but then the X pulled a pro-gamer move.
3:45 and 16:40 Wouldn't be a DCOA compilation without submissions from Cabo/MField.
6:28 The absolute lack of fucks this guy gives.
6:49 Just amazing how he looks _directly at_ the truck, but doesn't move to get back out of the way until it hits him.
14:54 Consider me impressed, future organ donor.
17:54 Must have already started on their Dan Murphy's Click n Collect order?
If you don't know, just go!
10:56 - If this ends up becoming the "most replayed" section, it's likely due to Gorillaz. 😆
11:45 - There wasn't really a car there, it was simply a Mirage. 🤣
11:58 - This clip just produced the most Australian "Wot the fok you doin' m8?!" you've ever heard from American lips.
14:09 - Meth-head Mary, escaping her Napa Valley, CA habitat, takes holiday in Australia.
18:18 - Aaaaaand there's the stereotypical Camry Clip.
21:30 - Dude, turn around! Sobriety checkpoint ahead! 😆
21:30 dude is driving up a one way st (vulture st east Brisbane) right in full view of the cops but perhaps he was lucky enough they weren't watching
21:04 How on earth have they managed to not hit each other
Physics...and luck,
but the passenger of the SW was about to give that turning driver a piece of his mind.
Ah....My weekly installment of why I should probably sell my motorbikes.
Why...because you can't do wheelies at over 90 kph on the highway like old mate at 14:56? 🤔
I live in the country and live my bike. But the odd times I have to ride in Sydney traffic I spend half my time wondering what on Earth am I taking this risk for.
8:06
Now now, you had plenty of time to stop - and behind the line.
Tsk tsk tsk. 😂
You wonder how so many of us actually do make it home alive.
When I watch a Dashcam clip, I never feel like driving for a couple of hours....whew...
Welcome to another episode of "Meet The Meth-Heads"!
2:35 That elderly lady going to check he rmail in the Cluster Box. Here in the US, such people can get a "hardship exemption" to have their mail delivered to their door.
I don't know if you have the same in Austrailia.
(Source: I'm a former USPS Letter Carrier. A "Postie" as you call them.)
Never heard of it here.
(I'm not sure she was checking her letterbox, it looks more like she was just dropped-off by the entitled idiot who then u-turns without looking.)
Truckies and tradies in dual cabs, easily the scourge of the road. Dual cabs in general actually.
4:00 The NASCAR swerve worked out for the P-plater.
8:05 Two idiots here, the one turning across traffic and the one contravening the yellow light when he had time to stop.
8:54 Guess where I'm going?
So many flogs in tradie utes
All the problems created by aggressive and distracted driving are often compounded by incredibly poor road layout seemingly designed to cause traffic conflict.
I have no words, just letters.
lol we are having lots of construction over here in Canada, and nothing but complaints of bad drivers, glad they are everywhere!
4:00. Your dashcam got that.
20:15 Congratulations to the Visy Driver desperate to get in the right lane. Why?
Because perhaps stupid I guess.Good way to promote visy.
Hmm 🤔, p'raps needed to turn right? You know - normal stuff. Maybe spent too long checking mirror. Didn't notice traffic banking up more abruptly in windscreen. Happens.
You know you're in Australia when you hear "F*****g idiot!" when someone does something wrong.
The Weakest part of a car
Is the nut holding the steering wheel.
20:25 "I almost crashed, let me stay stopped here in the third lane for a while so I can cause an accident behind me"
You have to wonder if some of these radical moves going around people stopped at lights is because someone is having a baby in the backseat, or a heart attack or if they just gotta get home to the dunny real qwik 😂
I didn't know that when emergency services have their lights and sirens going, we're supposed to pull right out in front of them. It's true hey, we do learn something every day
Or drive up on the sidewalk.
Is there a way to get people who submit videos to say where it happened? Be interesting for people to see the spots in their cities that have the most incidents.
Many videos have latitude and longitude co-ordinates at the bottom of the video. These co-ordinates can be entered into your map app.
Dashcam Lessons in USA & Canada does this and it's awesome
So much impatience!
We REALLY need to be able to just forward all these with high enough resolution to the cops so they can give everyone fines and demerit points omg
The next Yes or No vote in Australia should be this.
Can Dash cams be used to help Police get imbeciles off the road. Because in the NT, it's not considered "evidence".
I vote yes, but seriously, how can _video_ not be considered evidence?
They could have speed red light cameras at every intersection but they don't cause then no one would do it then & no cha-ching.
@@Markus_Andrew
I had DC video evidence of a lady on her phone but was told by police that it was police official and it wouldn't hold up if it went to court 🫤
Third party video as the only evidence is tricky as there are chain of evidence issues, proof of authenticity, etc. can be used along with other evidence in more serious crimes. At least that’s my understanding. #armchairlawyer lol.
@@Markus_Andrew I was told 2 reasons. Firstly you often can't see the driver and so can't prove in court who was in control of the vehicle at the time. My personal thought on this is that if it wasn't reported stolen and you won't name the driver then you take the fine.
The other reason is "Chain of custody" which ensures the video isn't tampered with. A police video can be tracked every second of the way, not true for a civilian one. Odd really, they'll accept my testimony that "Yes, that's the driver of the vehicle. I saw him" but not my video showing the guy driving the vehicle. It may be that laws haven't kept up with technology, I think most were written in the days of grainy VHS. "Yes, the armed robber was a tall, grey blur".
