Dashcam

Dashcam captures an unsafe driver on busy highway. Careless driving and lane changing.

This is crazy dashcam footage as I approached an intersection in Berlin CT. I witness this red light runner as I get closer to it. Perhaps minor but what happens next is funny. I had all intentions of stopping before the white line. But there is a truck making a right turn. A wide right turn. I am sure he has a green arrow. If not green, a right turn on red is allowed here. I frequent this intersection. I did not think he could make it so I backed up a bit. And it looks like he needs the room. So I backed up a bit more and a bigger bit more to allow him to complete the turn. Yes, I am good like that. Courteous. Like all of us drivers should be. Lucky nobody was behind me. He makes the complete turn. So now it seems everyone wants to get a piece of this and make it through the intersection. Check out the truck slipping his way under the light while I have the green. And then the bonus red light runner behind him! Perhaps I should have waited a bit longer for him to complete the turn before proceeding.

Watch this HD dashcam video of a drive through a couple of intersections. This video was made while bringing a car load of kids to an evening activity in a small town. The occupants observed this reckless driver who cut them off going through an intersection. Concerned for the children's safety, the dashcam owner gives this lunatic driver room. So while the traffic is building up ahead, the aggressive driver has no choice but to wait at the light and then once it turns green he then proceeds muscling and honking his way down the road. Where's the emergency? I am sure annoying all the other vehicles in the process. That could be construed as road rage in my opinion. At least that is how it starts. This dashcam owner has personally witnessed such road rage events in the past. So as the driver continues down the road he then blatantly runs through the next light narrowly avoiding the stopped car in front! Unbelievable, unsafe, bad driving. And on top of all that, he has a tail light out! This is why it is important to have a dashcam in the vehicle at all times. They are not expensive and range in price from maybe $25 for a cheap low resolution to hundreds for really good HD and features. This one was recorded with a Vantue R2 dashcam. Not to bad right? Had there been an accident, I am sure the crazy driver would have either took off or would have been just as aggressive confronting whoever he hit. This one was outright reckless behavior! No concern for anyone on the road. Everyone makes mistakes driving. I am sure everyone has had their own share of close calls and accidents. Please be safe out there. Watch out for kids and motorcycles too!

Driver takes this road everyday and traffic always builds up at this light. Things are made worse when you can't make a right turn on red because the lane is blocked by cars wanting to go straight. Sometimes this shortcut through the parking lot is in order! Just have to watch for the speed bumps. Driver figures it saved at least 6 minutes or 2-3 light cycles at this intersection that day.

Busy intersection with everyone always trying to beat the light. In this video, the light is clearly green while the white van comes from the right and runs through red, only to be slowed down by traffic after that light. He didn't get very far now did he?

The driver was heading down the highway when he notices something strange about the car up ahead. As he gets closer it becomes more clear as to what is odd about this scene. No more room in the truck? Car is over stuffed? So this appears to be some sort of red neck hack to make more room for something more important! Necessity is the mother of invention!?

Careless or distracted drivers are a frequent occurrence at this intersection in Connecticut. Dashcam footage captures this instance of bad driving. Both sides get a left turn arrow at the same time. But the oncoming driver probably wasn't paying much attention and thought the green arrow was his queue to go straight and cutoff the truck! He seemed oblivious to the fact but his passenger seemed to be waving or doing something as they passed me. Perhaps she was giving him the 3rd degree.

Normal everyday commuting always includes seeing bad drivers. No one is immune to occasional driving mistakes. This is a compilation of a few that was seen over the last 2 years.

The driver was traveling down a dark road and spots a jeep with super super super bright lights heading right towards him. The driver needed to pull over to allow his eyes to recover. There is no way the jeep didn't know. He had to have seen the path of light he was making as he headed down the road. Not a courteous driver for sure. (No Audio)

At a light waiting my turn. It was a little slick from the rain. One truck takes the turn and starts fish tailing but then quickly regains control avoiding a couple cars. This intersection is usually problematic due to the double left turn lanes and cars cutting each other off. If someone had been on his right while taking the turn...well would have been bad.

A Home Depot rental truck loses some of its load over a 2 mile stretch of highway. You can see obstacles right in the road that vehicles try avoiding. The car in front of me actually runs right over one and deflects it from hitting me. It looked like rolls of insulation.

We witnessed an emergency helicopter landing while waiting to pick someone up from the nearby hospital. The fist thing my young single digit daughter says is "Sometimes I feel like that's not a good thing but it looks really cool to see" then proceeds to say "open the windows dad". It was cool to see it come down and hear the loud awesome noise of the engine. I hope the passenger is ok.

Heading North on a turnpike in Connecticut. Cammer was behind the white van for a couple of miles and noticed his erratic driving behavior before this happened. With no attempt at slowing down, the van decides to swerve nearly crashing into a car stopped at the light and then nearly runs into a bicycle rider in the process. Major catastrophe averted...for now.

Dashcam video traveling on 95 North crossing over the George Washington Bridge in New York City. A lot of traffic and scary lane merging going on including witnessing a white pickup truck and semi truck collision. Near miss bonus at the end.

Extreme close call on the morning commute. There was an accident up ahead and some traffic. Eye opener to keep some distance with the cars in front from now on.

A turnpike in CT heading North. Redlight runners are common on this road. Front view and rear view camera. Playing around with placement. Time stamp between the two views are off.

New England highway with icy road conditions. Car makes a sliding stop at a light and the car in front of him decides to run the red light. Maybe to avoid him

Driving down the highway and someone passes me on the right to cut in front of me only to immediately hit his brakes to avoid the car in front of him.

A truck goes speeding through the red light at a busy intersection

Commercial van decides his time is worth more so he bypasses the traffic in the right lane by staying in the left turn lane but then goes straight

Entrance to a gas station is notorious for causing traffic issues on this road. It only takes one to hesitate on which gas pump to go to while the cars behind build up.

not sure what the driver was thinking when he was just sitting at the light... under the light.

This driver can't believe how a police officer rides the tail of these cars. No lights or sirens, so no emergency?

This is a common occurrence at this location. For some reason people ignore the clearly marked intersection that indicates "no left turn". As you can see, the car wants to turn left but holds back an already congested lane. This is dangerous, especially for anyone attempting to go around.

Waiting for the light to turn green. The vehicle in front of me seemed anxious to go. When the light finally turned green, a minivan coming from the right seemed less anxious to stop for his red light.
