The first one, the absolute prick totally deserved it but that's no way for a jobbing driver to behave:

That last one why do people do this? Best outcome, you annoy the trucker yet still waste a load of your own time. Worst outcome, DWDC if it makes it to the police or a load of inconvenience getting your car repaired if the truck doesn't stop in time and, er, smashes your back doors in

Nice appropriate number plate though. It had to be a black RR didn't it?

It does but more quantity means lower quality. People just get bored of idiot DCWs beeping anyone who makes a tiny error of judgment and watch fewer videos as a result. These videos started off as crash videos but quickly ran out of content and became minor driving error videos. Most are very poor (the videos) these days.

That's my view also. I still watch the clips when YouTube recommends them but spend most of the time muttering "well what did you think was going to happen?", "that's just where the traffic merges, why are you so upset?", "maybe don't floor it towards roundabouts?" and "why did you go across/the wrong way round that roundabout?!". Occasionally "why are you fannying about there, if you are going to overtake then bloody well get on and do it"

It's quite rare to see something interesting now.

Agreed, most of them are just clips of the sort of mildly inept and hesitant driving you see every single time you drive somewhere. The DCWs seem to go puce with rage over the most everyday things, I always think that if you really struggle that much to cope with driving you should be on the bus.

INSANE CAR CRASHES COMPILATION 2024 - IDIOT IN CAR/ TRUCK - Bad Drivers, Instant Karma

Now those clips really are insane.
I shouldnt laugh but the Porsche (I think) driver starting at 4:35 manages to take out 2 bikers separately.

Thats where I stopped because half an hour is far too long for these type of compilations.

Good God!! I can't see how some people were not killed or seriously maimed in some of those... The one where the police man is talking through the window and them the car is smashed into, he must have had some serious injuries.

Similarly with the one of the car in the left land, over taking just getting hit head on... fk, that's scary!

I'm struggling to see what the camera car did wrong there - there was a very valid short overtaking lane on the exit of a roundabout (where he was blocked by the tt in the HGV), then he tries to overtake once the central reservation ends to again be blocked.

What am I missing?

4:56 pity it was cycling Micky, he would have sorted that twunt out.

US pickup driver tries to outrun police. Doesn't end well for him.

Includes naughty words, so probably NSFW

Now thats what you call the no nonsense approach.
I wish British police had the authority to carry out manoeuvres like that.

My bet is that the trucker pulled out of the truckstop, which is just prior to where the dashcam footage starts, in front of the knobber and then antagonised the situation by sticking to the 30 limit through the industrial estate.

Another 30-60 seconds of footage at the beginning would reveal all.

There also appeared to be an oncoming vehicle when the camera driver attempted the second overtake.

There was, which must have been a concern to the trucker in case there was a collision. So they caused a collision.

Would love to have known what happened between the pedestrian and Merc driver at 7:36 after the camera car passed, he did NOT look happy! The behaviour of the Merc driver didn't look like they were planning to get out and profusely apologise either...

Merc driver deserves the book throwing at him. (As well as the can)

I can forgive a lot of 'minor misdemeanours' on the roads (on the grounds that people DO make mistakes), but running a red light at a pedestrian crossing is pretty much top of the "thou shalt not...ever!" list as far as I'm concerned.

Take their keys, and drop them down a drain / throw them a long way away...because that tt does NOT deserve to be in charge of a motor vehicle.

Are you referring to the lorry driver and ranger Rover clip?, looks the lorry driver isn't hand held filming but is wearing a pair of RayBan meta smart sunglasses

One of the dashcammers nailed every clip with a single comment.
"Jesus fking christ!"

I've often thought that another pair of eyes in the back of my head would come in handy but most of these don't appear to have any up front!

Special mention for the skate boarder at 8:05. I hope he got off lightly.
