Car-cam bad drivers thread

You never do. Until... it is.

With the prevalence of dashcams, I'm surprised we don't see a whole lot more.

I witnessed something similar a few years ago. Dude stops for the light, waits, then goes at the most bonehead time, but somehow manages to get away with it.

In the case of my scenario, he was swerving all over the road as well, so I ended up calling the cops on the guy, assuming he was drunk or something. They didn't seem to care much...

The light timing down that stretch from 9th street till 11th is ridiculous. Forced stops.

[gpomp]

The light timing down that stretch from 9th street till 11th is ridiculous. Forced stops.

If you look at the time stamps I was at the red light for 40 seconds which seems pretty normal for downtown? I guess you save time by running red lights so you can just sit at the next red light.

[firebane]

lol the 2 who ran the red were idiots.. but I enjoyed the guy who played the lights.

[rage2]

If you look at the time stamps I was at the red light for 40 seconds which seems pretty normal for downtown? I guess you save time by running red lights so you can just sit at the next red light.
6th ave is timed to go green all the way thru till that stretch. Then it's 2, sometimes 3 stops for 3 lights. You can speed like crazy from 8th street to beat the red, or run that red to avoid the 2nd/3rd red. It's not the amount of time you sit at a red, it's that you have to even stop at all.

I'm not justifying red light running, but I totally get their mentality there. That section's light timing is fucking frustrating. The funny part of it all is, that Porsche didn't even make it haha. I dunno wtf the element was trying to achieve.

I drive this stretch of road way the fuck too much. Pre-Covid, this whole section was a disaster (c-train prioritization fucking shit up even more) which was the root cause of 6th Ave backlog all the way through downtown.

I've had so many close calls there because yea, people are fucking stupid there. At least yours was at night, the # of close calls I've had were in bright ass daytime conditions. I drive this section 2-3x a week and I've changed my route to 16th ave instead. Way more traffic, but hilariously less stressful. Throw on the self driving cruise control, relax and listen to my tunes from Barlow to Crowchild.

[dj_rice]

I finally have some worthy to post up in here. Heres some context first.

Watch this FB video first. This guy, apparantly the night before, stole a white Dodge Ram, got into a bunch of collisions, cornered by cops, shot at, and escaped. Next day hes spotted in a Red Dodge Ram and then whatever these guys did to him, pissed him off enough to just keep crashing into them.
https://www.facebook.com/534674630/videos/249019594471958/

My footage I believe is right after he crashed into them, and got off the highway while getting chased by the cops. Peep the rear cam footage and collision caused in result of not knowing what to do and panicing LOL. Not very good at tech so had to upload 2 vids, wish i knew how to join them together.

When a random vagrant accosts me downtown, they always have the option to... you know... just not fucking do that. I can't think of a single time in my entire life that I've had a negative encounter with a homeless person where they had no option other than to insult me, invade my space, or otherwise make my day worse for simply being in their vicinity.

Acting like a degenerate towards normal upstanding people who are just downtown to work or go for a drink is in no way related to fighting for survival as a homeless person.

Its so bad that my kids are never to ride transit in this city...EVER! I will drive them anywhere they are wanting to go. It's quite sad. I really do feel for the homeless and I volunteer my time every year to try and help but this violent shit has gotten extremely bad.

This and/or fentanyl. I always found the wingnuts wouldn't bother me if I acted like I was drunk off my ass, and sometimes it wasn't an act. Many times I'd take the last train of the night to Whitehorn with no issues, and one time I missed the last train and had forgotten my wallet at home, so I walked to Whitehorn, that was a nice way to sober up in 2 hours. This was over 10 years ago when I worked downtown and lived in the dreamy NE, sounds like stuff has gone to shit HUGE since then. :hijack:

I'm surprised you didn't drive away. I've been a block away on the other side on that 5th Ave SE to 5th Ave SE road beside the superstore building after a game. That light takes forever so I'm sitting there top down after leaving the dome. Looking in my rear view and 4 or 5 zombies scrambling towards me. Prob wants to carjack me or some shit. I just run the light and fuck off. I ain't staying around to find out.

I take that route often, and they're always walking up towards me at the light.

To be honest, I was so caught off guard I was just dumbfounded at wtf was going on....

In hindsight, yes, I totally should've just booked it through the light.

Well fuck,

On ring road. Left lane. Then outta no where a fucking semi hits me. I just saw it outta the corner of my eye. Then spun around and drove into ditch. Winter tires installed.

Frame and cab look ok. Can anyone say Flatty ?

[Gman.45]

Wow that sucks SJW. Glad you're ok.

[arcticcat522]

Crazy how the cab seems untouched, but there is no box left...

[SJW]

I’ll post vid later. This guy to avoid rear ending someone comes from 2 lanes over and hits me. Elite trucking. Fuck off.

[vengie]

I'm sure you have a really sore back, and probably have a concussion, not to mention the emotional stress this accident has caused.

Glad to see you're alright, that could have been nasty.

With how sharp they swung I would always wager they lost control and started to slide.

Amazing the only real damage is losing the front and side of the box.

I saw them in the water reservoir supplying the Baby Aspirin Factory and that the toxic spill also set fire to a rainbow crosswalk.

Looks like the Civic initiated the sequence by slowing down. Semi being too close tried braking/steering then lost control.

So I wasn't the only one thinking this. Half the back of the truck is missing, but the tonneau is still just hanging out, dead straight, right where it started from originally.

One day you say good drivers don't need winter tires, and the following day you say "large trucks on shitty roads don't take much to start sliding".

So to answer your question, my point is: you seem to understand the laws of physics, but fail to recognize that they apply to you. It's just funny, that's all.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Yeah but why the fuck was he not paying attention?

Exactly. Knowing that you have shit tires, and that the roads are gross, why the fuck wouldn't you leave way more space? He wouldn't be that close with a trailer attached.

This is exactly why they're called collisions and not accidents.

What are we fighting about in this thread???

Is an argument being made that winter tires, with their siping and tread block patterns and softer compound that remains pliable at lower temperatures is not better on ice and snow than all season tires???

Why would you not want safer equipment that could literally save your life and costs maybe 1/50 of the capital cost of the machine that it goes on??

I don't think he wasn't paying attention and it's more that nobody expects a car out of the blue to start slowing to a stop on the highway and given the conditions it doesn't leave a lot of margin for error for the vehicle behind. I will say the truck should have kept a little more distance behind but what the hell is the Civic driver doing? I've seen a few accidents over the years where someone in front does something stupid like this leading to an accident involving other vehicles while they drive off scott free.
