Car-cam bad drivers thread

[rage2]

Off topic, but since we're talking about markings for multiple turn lanes...

http://goo.gl/maps/ejvLy

From 7am-9am, the 3rd lane is a turn lane (the sign flips to indicate that). I arrived today stopped in the 3rd turn lane at a red light, and lo and behold, the damn sign flips to straight only.

Am I still allowed to make the turn in the 3rd lane?

that's a pretty funny situation... i would think legally, no... since the sign indicated straight only when you entered the intersection, but i dont know what the call would be for sure.

According to Thaco, HELL NO!! Just like in Dragon Poker you MUST follow all the rules. Otherwise, you will pay the ultimate price!!

Yea, I've always wondered what would happen in that scenario. 15 years driving that intersection it's the first time it's happened. I turned anyways, hope Thaco didn't catch me on dashcam.

If you got the money honey, I got the time...

Yeah that turn is weird.. Since the lane reversal stops at 8:30 and the sign doesn't flip till 9. In any case, I find people use that lane for whatever - go straight, turn, and I generally don't care because 5th has more than adequate lanes to turn into, and if they choose to go straight when it's turn only, no harm done either.

I remember one morning there was some serious crash somewhere and people (me included) were using the lane reversal lane at 8:45 because it was soooo backed up. People coming onto the bridge in the other direction had to slam on the brakes after they realized they everyone was blocking the lane.

That last clip... I just can't believe people, someone should track him/she down, and rip the keys out of their car, and put them down the sewer system.

^ nothing wrong with the 2nd half of the video. If you aren't aggressive in your turns and look for pedestrian gaps in downtown, you're not going anywhere.

Edit - thinking about that intersection again, I'm pretty sure there's no left turns allowed there. I don't take my comment back for downtown pedestrians.

it's just funny that it was the cabby *not* running people down.

[rage2]

Haha didn't even notice the cab there. Not gonna lie I might've done the same thing if that was a legal left.

No left turn there on the second half of the clip.

wife had the opportunity to squish a bug on the way home from work today...

This is from her car so it's taken by the the Ojocam Pro 1 camera. (not the pro2) (i snipped out most of the audio)

I hate that. What's the immediate need to be in that lane? None.

[schocker]

My favorite are the clueless people who drive into you, you lay on the horn, and instead of moving back into their original lane they keep going

Close call today due to me being in the wrong place within the lane. However, I noticed she doesn't signal nor does she shoulder check.

Second clip is the standard pedi crossing the street against the green light.... dummy.


HD it up...
