  1. 1:28 You lose credibility when you preach about how road rage is bad AFTER you speed ahead of an aggressive driver, then brake check him.

  2. "Suddenly, the semi that had been SIGNALLING for a while, merged into his lane." Yes, it was an unsafe lane change, but totally predictable and avoidable.
    417
  3. 3:08 Rumor has it that the truck driver is still searching for his tiny junk.

  4. I don't drive a Tesla, so I use FSA (Full Situational Awareness) to avoid collisions. It's been around since the dawn of time and available to everyone.

  5. Liam could see what was in front of him before the snow fell, and he would not have been able to avoid the snow. Poor reaction. Mark Harvey's insurer couldn't have made the truck driver pay for kicking up road debris.
    63
  6. Jovanni made the classic mistake of turning INTO the collision.
    57
  7. Alan is a perfect example of over reliance on technology. The Sat phone was the only thing that helped him, but using common sense would have done the trick without damage to the car.

  8.  @MarkLLawrence  "Yes, it was an unsafe lane change..." was apparently not enough to avoid the knee jerk response.
    42
  9. 3:48 The BMW driver had a burned out brake light (and brain) and he was wearing headphones. I'm betting he had them over both ears (illegal) before he ran the stop sign.
    42
  10. Irony: When someone buys an expensive electric vehicle, but won't invest in tires. 5:05 I suspect that Phil was lying about "not speeding" as speed limits are set for the crappiest vehicles and worst drivers. The turkeys lost their keys and are pacing while waiting for AAA.

  11. If they were capable of learning, they would not be against stopping fraud, waste, and abuse in government.
    26
  12. "I'm entitled and in a hurry, but I will waste a lot of time stopped in the road so I can badger you in my gay jeans!"
    25
  13. Put nitromethane in his Harley tank and it will run so much better, until the piston melts.
    21
  14. #ToyotaThump That truck in the last clip dropped a muffler, not a CatCon.
    20
  15. 0:55 I bet Fidel is so glad he had that bike rack there to block his camera from getting the plate of the truck. 7:33 The "tractor" drivers should be required to pull over after a few cars get stacked up behind them.

  16.  @hansonel  Energy workers don't feel threatened by EVs. The more of them there are, the more fossil fuels are required to make them and power them. Solar and wind are nowhere near enough for current needs.
    14
  17.  @kassarc16  Just because they have a brain, doesn't mean they will use it, eh?
    13
  18. Being "Still Good With Oil" means not being ignorant of how much of our lives are made more convenient and safe because of petroleum products. 5:49 Scott should post their pictures with a warning to other apartment dwellers about their willingness to commit vandalism. 9:39 Seriously? Telling someone in Texas you have a knife is a good way to see what kind of gun they have.
    12
  19. Mel (and others) needs to be reminded that one benefit of insurance is that THEY will go after the offending party for you (well, for themselves, but you benefit). 6:56 The hood was still attached, so it was not lost. 14:40 There was a guy on Torrance, CA that always had a parrot on his shoulder and drove an old Mini Cooper. He stank of bird poop, which you can see on that man's shirt.
    11
  20. 1:50 Proof of my complaint about automatic "safety" features. They will allow people to stop you when it's in your best interest to keep going. 5:10 I hope Hunter's insurer sees this and helps getting him off the road.
    11
  21. Matt is "🎵Tesla Man Can't Drive!"🎵

  22. Even when air temps are above freezing, shaded areas can remain frozen. But Alan apparently doesn't understand that.
    10
  23. 2:01 Both lanes were technically Jason's because he had the green and the car turning right was required to yield until Jason either chose the left lane, or passed by. 8:37 Funny how slugs seem able to "punch it" when someone is about to escape their control.
    10
  24. A smart person would not do what he did so, yeah, he's stupid.
    10
  25. And, like you said, HE hit the tire, not the other way around.
    9
  26. The "Boneheaded Boater" not only had a horribly rigged trailer, he should have had the mast lowered for the trip or at least had the mental capacity to look out for things that would lower the mast for him.

  27.  @shellyu1442  This happens with or without humans. That infamous picture of a starving polar bear was just a sick, old bear and a lie to cover the fact that polar bear population has surged. In my neck of the woods the bears are becoming a big problem because they are having a LOT of cubs.

  28. Every time I see video of cars sliding down streets that get snow every season I wonder why no one on that street (especially the ones that have to park streetside) doesn't have bags of salt/sand on hand.
    8
  29. It's probably WHY he got coal rolled on him.

  30.  @1992AC  The more auto makers "protect" us, the worse drivers will be in emergencies.

  31. Never linger next to a semi. If you pass one, pass with alacrity. 4:49 My receiver pin has an integrated lock, so it won't come out even if someone is trying to make it come out.
    7
  32. 1:45 That's not lane splitting. That is weaving in and out of lanes. (and speeding) 4:42 Be wary of any car that has more than 2 bumper stickers.
    7
  33. 4:34 Tim did not come to a full stop at the stop sign. 8:10 Do NOT buy a used EV, especially from Hertz.
    7
  34.  @uriel8012  Not when it is outside of the hours posted for lane restrictions.
    6
  35. And it is HUGE, so it looks like it is moving more slowly than it is.
    6
  36. 2:32 Gary was in a great position to stop and help, then a bunch of idiots that should have moved on showed up. Seriously, unless you are willing to provide CPR, stay out of the way. (Bet the truck driver was road raging) 8:20 Tyler, please take out a few more of those ridiculous onramp lights.
    6
  37. Unless Ezekiel just passed another vehicle, he should not have been in the passing lane.
    5
  38.  @vortexriver1071  And they have distorted the temperature data via urban heat islands. Lots of official temperature stations located too close to asphalt parking lots, air conditioner exhausts, and other sources of excess heat. But urban areas don't cover a significant percentage of the planet surface.
    5
  39.  @Al-S-NH  They show clips we want to watch. And the cammers get dragged when they are in the wrong. Does it encourage you to get trashed for something you did?

  40. The truckers did not leave enough space between them and the cars they were following, but the Tesla driver was the one that "lost control", not the Tesla.
    5
  41. 8:16 Geez, what weak suspensions components.
    5
  42. 3:11 the truck driver essentially proved himself to be a control freak that wanted the Tesla trapped behind him, allowing him to pass was a rookie mistake. Ivan: You always have time to check the adjacent lanes. It's called "paying attention".
    5
  43. You can get the tag, then cancel the insurance.
    4
  44. The "unintended" claim can still be technically accurate, unless the valet intended to crash the vehicle.
    4
  45. 1:58 If there isn't one, that region needs a law that makes slow vehicles pull over and let others by when they stack up more than a specified number behind them.
    4
  46. 3:03 You don't have to "accept" service. The process server only has to confirm that the person being served was told and the paperwork was left for them. 5:49 What he did wrong was forgetting that Taxi drivers tend to be *ssh*les. 10:15 So NOT shocked to find it was a Black Supremacist.
    4
  47. We have enough legit "Tesla catches fire" headlines. 7:58 Pretty infantile to be upset about the person in front of you "not going fast enough" when they are leaving the lane and the next driver ahead is not going any faster.
    4
  48. 9:50 It's technically the truck driver's fault for making an unsafe lane change, but camping in anyone's blind spot is stupid.

  49. Like a Formula One racer, it is designed to shed parts while protecting the passenger cabin.

  50. They may not have had air vents either. I don't know if they are legally required, but they should be if you store flammable liquids in your enclosed trailer.
