  1. By the time the cops got to the site of the ladder in No. 2, there would have been a massive pile-up. Retrieving the ladder was a reasonable action.

  2. I just stamped their ID10T form. He'll get his badge an sign in 10 working days.

  3. He had plenty of time to use the slow down feature of his vehicle instead he used the look at me button.

  4. Number 3 if you know a big bump is coming up you can slow down a bit more to reduce the impact. Sometimes action is more important than talking.

  5. ​ @imanoldurango8213 automatic reaction.

  6. Never put down to malice what can more easily be put down to incompetence.

  7. Hou can say that about a lot of the clips on channels like this.
    19
  8. I don't know who is dumber Number 1 or Number 3.

  9. And stop riding the lines. That's just asking for trouble.

  10. Lots of wheels are tightened by hand. Nothing wrong with that, provided the correct torque is applied.
    15
  11. Number 1 you had plenty of time to turn your interaction into a non-event - their turn signal was on fir ling enough - but you had to go charging in just so you can feel superior. In reality you're as bad as the other driver.
    13
  12. When is wrong to use all of the road space and merge in turn? Err, never. All those empty headed drivers causing more congestion by filling up one lane and leaving the other empty.
    12
  13. Plenty of time to turn it into a non-event.
    11
  14. Number 14 - you can't park there, pal.

  15.  @gabrielbecerra2290  so, in spite of seeing the tow truck's size and that they were turning you still proceeded to the stop line where you would have had to have waited for the tow truck to complete his turn as he would have right of way over you as he was at the stop line first? In doing so you created a worse situation so that you could appear to be the victim. And, just because it's a residential street this tow truck, unless signed otherwise had equal right as you to be there.

  16. Number 11 a sensible driver gets out of the HGV's (truck to our Americans friends) blind spots as quickly as possible even if that means changing lanes.
    9
  17. Number 5 - In the UK, it is against the Highway Code (the Rules of the Road) for a vehicle being overtaken to accelerate, so, assuming a similar rule in the USA, the idiot is the one being overtaken.
    9
  18. Or perhaps people should just learn to drive.
    9
  19. No. 3 gets a 5.9 from the American judge.
    8
  20. Number 18 - the silver car didn't help the situation by staying where it was. Get in a staggered formation, either ahead of or behind the truck, and the the traffic will just flowmore smoothly.
    8
  21. Number 3 - 2 drivers that Im glad I don't sharethe road with.
    7
  22. Cyclist did nothing wrong in Clip 3.
    6
  23. Stupidity. On behalf of the cammer.
    6
  24. Number 14 - it's never a good idea to sound your horn as it causes the person you are reminding of your presence to brake unthinkingly.
    5
  25. Number 1 - what's wrong wihh merge in turn?
    5
  26. More Pink Floyd please.

  27. I've seen uglier things on the road, but never in a state of mind that would be legal for driving.

  28. There's a British driving instructor on YT called Ashley Neal who puts up driving fail and good driving videos (primarily British ones) with his professional analysis. Many of the driving fails are due to people driving too aggressively and not reading the roads correctly (including the reading the intentions of other road users).

  29. Annually for at least the first 5 years.

  30. Number 11 - grow up. Of course, the on coming traffic is going to go around the fallen branches.

  31.  @crowmollymedia6480  depends on if the camner was in the Skoda's blind spot - looked in mirrors saw nothing behind and moved out. Would you look more carefully, especially when going round a bend?

  32. 12.1 - love the attitude. So composed.
    4
  33. @demophys4883  in the UK, the speed limit for such vehicles is 60mph (vehicles with speed limiters are slightly slower) on similar roads, but they still overtake each other because onetruck is doing slightly more than the other.

  34. What's the American for Specsavers? Because number 18 needs to go there. That truck never crossed intoher lane, and whilst it should have stopped at the Stop Line,it didn't cause any conflict with other traffic until Mrs Entiled tooted her self-righteous horn.

  35. The driver in number 5 was called a moment later by his wife. "Honey, take care there's some fool driving down the wrong side of the road." "What do you mean, there's dozens of them."
    4
  36. Number 5 you had plenty of time to observe the turn signal but you chose to accelerate. Don't blame others for your inadequacies.
    4
  37. Number 12 the other car was playing snooker. After interacting badly with you they gad yo interact with a coloured car (yellow, green, brown, blue pink or black) to run up the highest break (or should that be brake?).
    4
  38. Number 15 - only idiots sit in someone's blind spot.
    3
  39. ​ @Shortghost26 kind of strange. Possibly uninsured.

  40. Number 11 you had a hand in that crash. Sounding your horn hassled the van driver into moving when it wasn't safe. Well done for, your impatience caused others to have a crash.

  41. If she had only said she thought he waxabout to cross the line into her lane then the honk could be justified, but for no other reason.

  42. The other bit of top advice is: drive like you own the car not the road.
    3
  43. The entitlement is strong in this one.
    3
  44. Try watching that clip with audio. The driver admits messing things up before asking where the other driver came from. Big ups to her for admitting her fault.
    3
  45. Number 9 try using your brakes.
    3
  46. Watching some of these clips I wonder why do the road authorities bother putting up signs for intersections and junctions.
    2
  47. Number 4 - the original lane change by the cammer looked a bit close, but certainly didn't merit what then happened.
    2
  48. That's a powerful cough you have there Number 3. Makes car drivers lose control.
    2
  49. Number 6 shows the dangers of being in someone's blind spot. Perhaps you should learn a lesson yourself about positioning along with the other driver about checking blind spots before making a move.
    2
  50. Number 13 - why not use your brakes and make it a non-event?
