  1. 24:55 "I was looking away for a split second" – the big pick up truck slowing down with full brake lights for 2.5 seconds and the sounds suggest that the driver is more interested in her phone call than driving.

  2. 35:24 "I didn't have visual to the white car" – however, the moving white car can be seen for the whole video if you are not stupid and watch for the crossing traffic before entering the lights. Also, it seems that this car was doing pretty fast through intersection with flashing yellow lights so clearly this driver is at fault.

  3. 1:45 Surely you had ability to understand that your vision is not okay. Why still try to drive in that condition?

  4.  @workinonit4752  Exactly. I doesn't matter if you are right, it's not a great plan to collide with a truck to make your point.

  5. 25:10 This driver explains that he lost control because of oil stain on the road. I guess going fast with a crappy car on wet road had nothing to do with losing control...

  6.  @M00dy_0range  Pretty much all traffic accidents could be avoided if all drivers were paying attention to driving.

  7.  @adamcoleman3086  Yeah, the accurate flashing yellow signal depends on jurisdiction but none of the meanings that I'm aware mean that you can drive through the intersection without being careful. Here in Finland flashing yellow means "traffic lights are out of order, follow intersection rules that would be in order if there were not traffic lights at all" so there's no difference between flashing yellow and lights totally off. Flashing yellow is obviously easier to notice, though.

  8. 17:55 Does US still use trucks on public roads without ABS brakes?

  10. 12:30 Yet another driver that doesn't have skills to control two pedals. It's so hard to remember what those things do, right?

  11. And I thought Russian drivers were bad!

  12.  @VoidHugger  I assumed that the driver was the one speaking a lot and she did sound like a woman. But you're right that she could have been a passanger.

  13. @Lane Maust Do you see flashing red for the intersecting traffic going from left to right in this video? Also, it's news to me that they have intentionally intersections where you flash yellow to one direction and flash red to another direction. I've only experienced intersections that either flash yellow to all directions or have fully working traffic lights.

  14. @Lane Maust Yeah, if you add "united states" to your query. Other places have different rules.

  15. Wow, it seems that there're lots of people trying to make fake insurance claims when you watch this video. It seems one needs to use windscreen camera to protect oneself against con artists.
