Trucker Dashcam #40 Dear BMW!

- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- I give all my videos some kind of title. Don´t know why, but it just seems more personal.
The videos I upload are not extreme situations, I know that.
They are all from a limited time, and from the heavy Volvo truck I drive.
Please keep that in mind.
I do all this work on my spare time, this video took 5-6 hours of editing...and still it dosent look better than this :)
The camera I use now is a Blackvue DR750S, and an older 650GW pointed to my mirrors.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.
If you like the video and want to se more, plz like and subscribe! :)
A few Words about the clips:
1. This is NOT a crazy russian too much vodka compilation.
2. It's mainly daily situations from a truck's point of view
3. I try to avoid calling pepole idiots and stuff like that. I prefer just the show the different situations and let you be the judge.
4. Dont take it to serious, if you find it interesting thats great, if you can have a laugh thats even better.
5. We all can make misstakes

If you ever feel you have a useless, deadbeat job.... just remember the guy in the BMW factory that mount the indicators on the car....
MaXtor Abonnementen luckily they fixed that problem by making it a complete unit
I thought indicators where optional extras only. As for BMW I'm of the opinion that it stands for "Brains Might Work". 😁
Break My Window
10 points for that comment : i had 3 used bmw's and all had working indicator's......like new they where too
Haha what a great slogan for Volvo: One million safety features, no tail lights!
haha, maybe I should e-mail them about it :)
could tail lights be an extra option like blinkers are for bmw.
I practically had tears in my eyes on that last bit. What a beautiful, beautiful place. ❤
Cars running without lights has become an epidemic ever since the introduction of those damned DRLs (daytime running lights). Many of those cars have LEDs in front bright enough for the driver to not realize their lights are off (especially within city limits or on well-lit roads) and some of those cars even have the dashboard permanently lit up as well, so to the driver everything looks fine and dandy. At least some cars also light up their rear lights together with the DRLs.
Mine does. And she's almost 16 yo! Oh, lovely Subaru
Hoschi0913 since 2011 it was mandated for manufacturers to implement constant running drl's. "for safety reasons" but forgot to add the rear lights to the law
They are trying to add it to the rule. But we all know politics, it takes centuries…
over here in uk (i ride a 125cc motorcycle ) all bikes 125 and below must have lights on permanently so no off switch just dip and main beam but it doesent aply to larger machines for some reason
The solution is to use high-beams on them and as long as there is no traffic in the opposite lane, you can have them on permanent, so you can see the car
I really admire how calm and patient you are with the bad drivers!
Thx :)
Well what can I say: Thank you very much, I had been parsing Sweden from Malmø/Gøtetborg to Stockholm/Haparanda regularly for ten years some years ago, and when I see these videos I have to confess that I miss these trips so much, these long lonely trips where nothing is disturbing you in any way (this was before mobile-phone got to be a pest all over) it was like a refresh for your brain.
I love this channel and am so glad I found it! It is so polished, entertaining, informative, funny, great music, beautiful images and on and on. I am proud to say I do not have "must pass truck" or "no indicator" disease! A big fond hello from Bloomington, Indiana US!
Hi!
Thank you so much for sayin that! :-D
Makes me happy!
LOVE your British-style humour especially with the Traffic Light Grand Prix. Great videos. Happy Christmas to you sir- keep the videos coming.
haha, thank you! :)
First of all: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to "be in Sweden" even if I sit in Germany. Some parts I do recognize and it is a joy to watch.
Then about the light isue: Using rentalcars all the time, I have the advantage of getting the newest and "safest" cars. The only problem I have: If youi switch the light to "automatic", there are light conditions that the sensors seem to interprete wrong. There seems to be enough light, so the lights are not (fully) turned on, but due to the weather conditons, the visibility is low. I solve the problem by turning the lights manualy on as soon as I pick up a car, not worrying about turning the lights of, modern cars switch them of as soon as the key gets far enough away from the vehicle.
No excuse for those who do not use lights, but it might explain.
I love the endings as well. One thing I love to do is drive, and find beauty in places I've never visited. You help with that - thanks for every video.
Sweden seems like a beautiful country.
Nice landscapes. Thanks for this virtual trip
I love your vids. I always try to listen to your swedish radio and hope it improves my swedish! 😁 And I love the landscape. ♥️
haha :)
Great video as always.
People not turning in lights is getting a real problem here in the netherlands too. Expecially when the street lights arent on yet.
People are like the streetligths arent on so my lights dont need to be on either. Yeah but at the same time it's becoming winter and it gets dark earlier and earlier/
At driving lessons we even get taught to turn on our lights even when it's day because you visibility will increase.
NOW how am I suppose to rant and carry on with endings like that.?!?
I will say this, YOU have introduced me to a lot of new music. Long way to go - was just beautiful. I love your Metal bands too, but you have to have a mix in life.
Don't watch the ending...
haha :)
Methinks you need to get one of those very obnoxiously loud air horns the truckers in the USA have.
Yeah!! :-p
That final drive was really beautiful. Love your videos, keep it man!
I love your contrasting between the rushed swell of city traffic and the serenity of the countryside. Very well done video. I enjoyed it immensely. Keep them coming.
By every new video that you put out I'm more and more amazed at your nerves of steel. Awesome videos, and thank you for showing us beautys of your country at the end.
It's building up inside of me... :-D
Finally a new video, keep up the pace please dont make us wait a month next time for the only one and original dashcam content ;) It's really awesome, honestly.
Florjan Ostroznik It really depends how stupid the other motorists are. Day by day.
Chane1177 Gotta agree to that + his primary work aint youtube so yeah, as long as the videos keep coming I'm one of many happy ones
Thank you! :)
Slutet är ju för härligt. Musiken och ladnskapet i vårat avlånga land är något alldeles speciellt. Tack för att du delar med dig av både fina vyer och totala idioter hehehe
Tack! :)
I am amazed, how did they manage to turn the lights off on a Volvo lol!. Beautiful video as always,perfect for my birthday )
happy birthday!! :-D
I don't understand why vehicle manufacturers don't just make them have lights on all the time. Key is on, lights are on. Make it idiot proof because that's clearly what's required.
Do not feel alone there. I have found all over the USA that lights and turn signals are mandatory to put on vehicles but are OPTIONAL to use.
Thanks for the videos I enjoy them.
Glad to hear that Rick! :)
I just found your channel and instantly subscribed. Quality video with a nice touch of sarcastic humor which I love. I drive over 100,000 miles (160934.4km) a year and deal with the same issues over here in the States.
Just so different, lovely scenery in places even with snow and great soundtrack too, well done like this a lot. (never seen sweden before either) super!
Damn my gf did go to uni in Sweden for like a year and then returned and now that i've see your videos, i want to there too. So beautiful! Love from Germany
Just come over! :)
So I get to the relax bit and time to get a beer and snack and sit back. Thanks. I think what you do is unique especially the 'flights along the grey rivers, soaring across the landscape'.
:-D
Have to give you thumbs cause your intro, it puts me at ease right away
Wonderful intro and outro :)
Yeah, it really is a disease that ppl cannot use indicators anymore and are unable to realize the difference between daytime running light and headlights.
I really love the relaxing endings of ur videos! Beautiful music too (Long Way To Go) Thanks!
As a correction glass wearing member of society, if its dark and/or rainy i wont see a car without lights until its way to late.
Then you shouldn't have a license
i was talking about when im out walking.
I would love to have a sit down with the clever EU-people who decided that no rear lights was a brilliant idea. I'd ask them how they came to that conclusion, and if they still think they deserve a seat in any legislative assembly going forwards. I'd love to hear them argue their brilliance after that fuckup.
Anyways.. new cars approved by the EU after mid-2016 have to have the rear lights on aswell. I don't get why they didn't make that law retro active. This safety hazard needs to be fixed asap imho.
Thanks for another great video. I like your style :)
Always look forward to your videos...You are becoming so Creative with them.. Thank you for sharing:))))!! As Always 😁
Thank you my lojal Tammy :)
F1 refference was brilliant :)
Hello friend, I enjoy your videos very much, your country is really wonderful, I love the quality of your videos and the relaxing music that you usually use, thanks for sharing them.
My father had a VW beetle, 35 hp, max speed 100 km/h. (downhill, wind from behind and meatballs for dinner)
Assuming a modern car needs the same to drive at 80 km/h, that would be 26000 Watts (35hp*725W/hp)... Taillights 1 Watt for LED. Someone had a strike of genius there.
Nice channel BTW,
Thanks! :)
New Volvo, one million safety features, where are the Auto lights.
Yes, I like that one too, and at Christmas time where there is light all over.
i think Auto Light is the problem(it must be). I see brand new cars everyday without lights on.
And in tunnels when the lights turns on every one is breaking thinking the guy in front starts breaking:(:(
After 11:53 on video i get some peace i was never feel like that nature was ... no word to explain how beautiful is it
You are good Man with big soul
wow, not heard that Clannad song, Robin (The Hooded Man), for maybe 25 years on family driving/camping holidays in Wales, I'm going to spend some time on Spotify listening to them again, thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories of being in the car through beautiful mountainous scenery :)
Oh yes! That old Robin Hood, so Amazing...and the songs by Clannad! :)
Winter or summer, you live in a beautiful country . Really enjoy watching. Thank you
Those F1 commentaries are old AF :D Havent heard the name Eddie in awhile
In Poland we have a law which is saying that we must have lights on always. 24/7, everyday in the year :) When this law became a thing everyone was thinking that is stupid AF, but now, few years later, everyone can see how much it changed safety and comfort of driving :) it was small change, but changes a lot :)
Yeah, it really makes a big difference!
God, if I were in your driver's seat, I'd be laying on the horn every other video clip. O..o;;
Also, I like your taste in variety of music. That F1 race commentary you used on that one clip made me crack up. XD
That ending tho... very calming and therapeutic.
Thank you! :)
Beautiful music during my favorite part, the end. Thanks for including the link. I look forward to your videos.
These are the coolest videos. If my dad was alive i bet he would like them to.
Hi Jonnie!'
Sorry to hear about your dad :-/ Mine past away when i was 19.
@@truckdriver1982 It's been 2 yr. and i miss him so much it hurts.
After years as both driver & passenger I have a hypothesis about the mentality of drivers who do not use their lights. They live in a 2 dimensional world of thought; I don't need lights because I can see just fine. Cannot grasp the concept of "being" seen by the others on the road. Sadly it may take a close call with another driver almost running into them or they almost run into another because they could not see them before they grasp that.
Davel Foote Do you know the cause for people with modern safe cars driving without lights? Backlit dash panels that are even backlit in daytime with no headlights on ;-) The same happens here in South Africa.
I thought Volvo's had side lights that can't be turned off, when the ignition is on?
Nicki de Wet I did not know that, thanks for the info.
be nice if all car makers were forced to install sensors that make lights come on automatically cause drivers with no lights causes road rage, it sure does for me but i do nothing about it except turn my lights on off and on just once and most people turn their lights on, but i could see it, the sensor would detect the car is traveling and that it is getting dark so, presto, the lights come on automatically and saves lives, and tempers.
It is those f-king daylite running lights they are on in the front but not in the back.
This is definitely one of my week highlights, amazing scenery & good driver & some funny bad decision making but we're all human.
Cool!! :-D
Trucker Dashcam // Sweden I had a question I'm sure you've answered already but no harm in asking, how long have you been a commercial driver?
Thank you for another wonderful journey... I enjoy your work a great deal.. 👍👍🤘🤘☺
Thank you Dave! :)
Trucker Dashcam // Sweden you are welcome sir !👍🤘
Some nice hurry up and then wait drivers, also my favorite, but behind me not in front, nice snowy end, we have snow aswel 15 cm and gone tomorrow i think.
From the view, a lot of those rural roads could be in parts of central and northern Minnesota.i can see why so many Swedes and Norwegians emigrated here.
Such a beautifull ending indeed. We had snow in my lokal area that lasted for about 5 days but it´s all gone now D: Thanks for sharing ;)
It happens so often here too to see people without lights.... That's because they have day lights that are alaways on as soon as you start your engine.....and it's very powerfull so they forget that they have to turn on their real light during night....
I say they are powerful cause i take it in me eyes every time because i drive an old small car so....all 4x4 and SUV are just at the good high to fuck my eyes up....
Anyway, nice video as usual :)
damn that is my new life purpose ... " must overtake truck ..to do something"....hahahah love that..cool vids
haha, thank you! :)
Nice Video as usual. Everytime I see an American car in Europe and Scandinavia. Especially the bottom of the barrel Dodge Caravan, I feel sorry for people, when they are surrounded by Volvos.
Safe travels.
Why don´t you see so many things build in steel on that island? O rust!
höhöhö :p
fredags humor en söndag : feel free to use it :)
Loved to see that Audi that had to back out of the overtake 6:40 .
You should just have turned in on the red Golf. He would have braked. :-)
Another great vid - and an awesome channel :) You are a lot more subtle than me - and a lot calmer lol
Haha man ser ju knappt att jag blinkar där i Svanesund på dig, får blinka mer nästa gång ;) :)
haha, ja. Men jag såg de live :)
Så det fick ju vara med i filmen med!
Beautiful introduction! I currently live in Utah, USA, and indicators/turn signals are (infuriatingly) rarely used here - grrrrrrrrrr! As for rear lights, I have a new Mercedes that has automatic running lights with rear lights, BUT the driver can switch them off (Why this option!?!). I think running lights front and back should be mandatory.
Another great video! Thanks a lot!
A Fantastic Mr. Fox beginning if ive ever seen one
Tolles Video, wie immer. Ich fahre auch, aber ich bewundere deine Ruhe bei den ganzen Idioten. Mach weiter so.
Danke!
Bad boy :P 7:13 you show us "not very nice" But you laugh also :D
haha, I coudnt help my self... :-p
cool looking start. :-)
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks!
Thank you! :-)
The last part is a Wow hope one day I could travel to your beautiful country
5:20 thought you were actually listening to F1 but then I got your point and a laugh. :)
haha :)
6:50 wait... So people are actually capable of braking and get behind ?! Shocked ! :0 :p
floflospeed24 😆
And in an Audi as well!
PS: Great to hear an Irish classic playing during that clip (ua-cam.com/video/DNXMfRvEN28/v-deo.html). Greetings from Dublin!
Like the way the dash-cam lets you know what speed the Svanesund-Kolhättan vehicular-ferry is going across to Orust Island (15km/h)!
haha, Always good to know, right? :-D
And a very impressiv speed :p
At the end session I can see it's winter time again in Gothenburg region. Looks like a black and white picture, except the barns painted with Falu Red colour.
Aha! And now I suddenly understand why they invented that colour in 16th century. To avoid people to get winter depressions! Or maybe too much winter is the cause why 8% of male Swedes has bad red-green colour-seeing, for example traffic lights?!?
Thank you for a new good video! Have a nice workweek. And Merry Christmas soon... / hazze
Thank you! :)
Great video! Sharp. Your roads are like new and well maintained. I would like to drive there. What is the same is the drivers. No difference here in the States. Terrible.
Ok, on the lights: You buy a car, you have a license - TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS. If you are unable to do so your license will be taken away. Now, I admit that this is a car company issue and not so much the driver (like 70/30). The car companies should have lights on mandatory all the time. Just because your dash is lit does not mean your lights are on.
You are right!
8:35 DLR should be illegal.
If the car is in traffic it should have lights on #ochdärmedbasta
Yeah, it´s really stupid!
Nothing wrong with DLR but really need rear lights to also be always on. If I ever end up getting a car with front DLR I will be finding a way to force the rears to be on at the same time (programming or fuse box fix)
Hahah 6:40 är det jag i taxin, skulle inte kört om dem andra heller men de låg för långsamt så tanken slog mig att jag kanske skulle hinna, var stressad av killen bakom mig som fick stanna på 45an med 😂😂
haha, se där, kul! :)
Indicatores on BMWs & Audis and most Golfs cost extra and when installed are seldom used as they may use more fuel.
11:50 - The speedometer starts to indicate the speed of the boat.
Pretty cool :)
get one of those triple horns that are mounted to freight train. Use it when people do something really dangerous - this idea looks good in text, but would likely not be legal.
I saw my pet driving peeve, ( must pass everyone, just to turn off at the next turnoff or exit) I even had a semi(HGV, Lorry) do it to me right before a construction zone then turn off in the cnstruction area.
We got our first snow this year in Bremen, looked like in the first clip :)
These guys really need to check their blinker fluid more often... :grin:
Antar att du inte jobbar på söndagar, synd, hade varit kul att se hur billisterna hanterade dagens väder :D
Oftast inte, men hade en del snö idag med :)
well at least they keep you on your toes less boring that way lol only joking thank you for the video merry christmas from australia
No amunt of safety features fitted to any vehicle can overcome the danger of the loose nut behind the wheel.
5:26 - what a funny part :D
So nice compillation :-)
Pražská Kotelnická good old Murrey Walker at his best, I still miss his slightly dotty commentary on F1 for the BBC
Agree :-)
great video ... congrats on 20K subs
Thank you! :)
I see this not using headlights at night thing is a worldwide epidemic. I live in Australia and people also do it here too.
Loved the footage of the snowy roads at the end! This morning I woke up to the first bit of snow I've seen for 4 years, safe to say its a rare occurrence where I am in the UK these days.
Thx!
The no lights thing! I believe cars now, the instrument clusters light up wen u put key in ignition! So they think there lights r on! It's due care and attention 3pts and a fine!
Here in Germany Snow came, stayed for maybe one day and then left...
Today same thing, came over night, snowed till noon, then temperatures got too high, snow turn in rain and the snow that was already there melted...
That is so frustrating :(
Hello... Nice to see you back... Thought you'd got lost somewhere. ;)
No, I am still here :)
Great video!
6:40 Swedish crash barriers are so scary, imagine a motorcycle rider is crashing there.
7:45 I saw this all the time when I was in Sweden. Of course drivers who're doing this are stupid. But at the same time this is a huge constructional fail, because it was completely predictable that a lot of drivers will do exactly this before the two lanes become one. :-D
Thank you! :)
always thumbs up ;-)
4:05 Wheeee släpvagnsdrifting :D
11:45 Färjan mellan Kolhättan och Svanesund.,undra hur många hundratals gånger man stått på den färjan. Och alla gånger man svurit över att man missat färjan :). Kul o se lite hemtrakter i dina videos.
Härligt :)
Another enjoyable video, cheers 👍🏼😊
Thank you! :)
Nice Vid and thanx for relaxing time ... ^^
8:51 Volvo har faktiskt bakljusen tända om du har i auto-läget (eller i halvljusläget också såklart), så man måste aktivit ha slagit av ljuset i bilen för att få det släckt sådär! Så korkat! Inte Volvos fel att föraren manuellt faktiskt vridit av ljusvreder... ;)
Precis! Det konstigt är att jag sett ganska många nya Volvos, V90 och XC90 som varit helt nedsläckta. Mycket märkligt...
De har satt framljusen på dagljus, alltså de häftiga LED ljusen fram då är baklamporna släckta, helt idiotiska EU regler som så många andra regler från EU som inte är anpassade för Svenska förhållanden.
BjarnePincett Jo vi har koll på idiotin med DRL. :) Grejen med Volvo är dock att om man har i auto-läget så har man DRL-lamporna på dagtid då det är ljust, men också alltid bakljusen. Man måste alltså som förare aktivt vrida vredet till 0 eller parkeringsljus för att bakljusen ska vara släkta. Varför man gör det kan jag inte förstå.
en dum regel/lag, vetetusan hur den gick igenom, vill man inte synas i trafiken ? Har varit nära att mosa rumpan på bilar som varit "nedsläckta" - tillåtet dagtid, men vad gör det när det är mörkt vid 15-tiden - "TD" - gillar dina videos grymt, som sagts tidigare skön blandning musik o sluten är sjukt sköna. Keep 'em coming !
You know why the Volvo doesn't have the lights on 24/7 as it is law in Sweden? because Volvo is now a Chinese brand and they don't give a FCUK. Btw. Nice chillout section on the end ;)
Thx :)
I'm a BMW driver my point is I use the opinional extras like indicators if I'll make u brake slow or change direction, if I don't make you do any of those you don't need to know what I'm doing just get outa my overtaking lane
indicating direction is quite an effort.
