Highway disaster nearly avoided
This is dashcam video of reckless highway driving. The traffic was a little congested but that didn't prevent the driver from crossing multiple lanes of traffic in an attempt to beat everyone. A collision nearly occurred as another vehicle had to hit the brakes and nearly crash while going into the breakdown lane. Time saved for the inconsiderate and reckless driver? Zero seconds because he still ended up in standstill traffic shortly there after! Drive safe my friends.

Good Samaritan Nearly Causes Accident
This is dashcam footage of a motorist nearly T-Boning a car crossing traffic. You can see that the car proceeds down the right side of backed-up traffic. It appears that he has the intention of going straight past the intersection since he has no signal on when suddenly a car darts out in front of him. Brake lights go on and a collision is nearly avoided. Cars appear to come within inches of each other from camera’s perspective. It could have been that someone waved the car in to let them through. I have seen this before. Don't trust traffic control direction from a stranger! If something had happened, who’s fault would it have been?

Area of the country where left turn on red is allowed.
This must be an area of the country where left turn on red is allowed. Amazing how drivers take chances like this. The light is obviously red but cars still continue to proceed through.

Motorcyclist unaware that he almost got hit
Motorcycle was stopped at a light when a van suddenly approaches at a high rate of speed. He quickly stops just within inches of striking the motorcycle from behind. Motorcycle seemed oblivious to what almost transpired. I am not sure if that is good or bad.
Please be safe out there! Watch out for kids and motorcycles too!

Distracted driver jumps curb
There was some distracted driving going on here. In CT, there are laws against it. Not to apparent in the dashcam video but the driver was looking down as he started to proceed when the light turned green. His vehicle veers off to the right and strikes the curb almost hitting the sign in the process. I am sure everyone has had their own share of close calls and accidents. Everyone makes mistakes driving but there is no excuse for accidents caused by distractions. The texting can wait. Please be safe out there. Watch out for kids and motorcycles too!

Crazy highway lane changing caught on dashcam
No question that this is reckless driving! Everyone makes mistakes driving and I am sure everyone has had their own fair share of close calls and accidents. Perhaps even the occasional roll through stop sign or misjudged yellow light. Nobody's perfect. But like I already stated, this is reckless.
Driver was heading down a busy two lane highway that had visibility obscured by the sunrise sun glare. All of a sudden a car speeds by and cuts in. This vehicle with obvious reckless driving skills and with his high speed lane changing is an accident waiting to happen. You can even hear the rev of his engine as he passes and makes those aggressive lane changes as he proceeds heading down the road. Where's the emergency? Is he late for work? I am sure he is scaring the other motorist and at the very least annoying all of them in the process. This is blatant reckless driving showing no concern for anyone on the road. This is driving behavior at its worst. To make it even more dangerous, there is quite a lot of traffic on this highway. Had there been an accident, it could have been really bad. I am sure the crazy driver would have either taking off or would have been just as aggressive confronting whoever he hit.
Having this kind of dashcam footage would avoid any questions of fault and act as a reliable witness in a court of law. This is why it is important to have a dashcam in the vehicle at all times. I predict this will be standard equipment in the future in the same way that airbags have become. They are not expensive and range in price from maybe $25 for a cheap low resolution to hundreds for really good HD video and features. Not too bad right? Drive safe friends. Watch out for kids and motorcycles!

Cop tailgates but it is not what you think.
Bad cops on the news. It sells. It gets ratings. People always want to hear the juicy stories about what cop did what and to whom. That seems to be the only stories we hear. In this day and age of bad press for the police, it is always great to see something positive when it comes to our men and women of law enforcement.
Know however that in any population there are always going to bad apples. Pick any industry, profession, anything. Even doctors, lawyers, machinist, clergy, teachers and politicians. There is no group immune from bad behavior and no one is an angel. You will always find something wrong. But today was a good day. As this driver was headed down a busy highway, traffic seems to be building up ahead. Is it construction? Perhaps an accident caused by some inattentive motorist? Maybe a broken down car that is being assisted by AAA. Everyone knows that it only take one to slow down or stop traffic. And when this happens, then there is the occasional rubbernecker to further exasperate the issue too. The motorist here makes his way further down the highway, changing lanes as needed. So as the driver gets closer he can see police lights. What could it be? Sometimes police will escort construction vehicles or wide load vehicles so perhaps that was it. Sometimes cars are purposely slowed down for some other needed purpose.
As the driver approaches, it is seen that there are two state police cars. One of the cars appears to be tailgating. Better than that he is actually right up on the bumper. Touching. He is not only touching but is pushing! Incredible. Usually if there is a vehicle in distress, roadside assistance would be called. I am sure the officer has a list of tow trucks on standby for incidents such as this. He seems to want to take care of it himself. To offer immediate assistance like this is awesome. I wonder however what the urgency was that would cause this. Someone in labor? The world may never know.

Motorist nearly T-bones truck
This is a case of a motorist nearly T-Boning an inattentive driver. As car approaches the intersection, there is a van that slows down to make a right hand turn. The dashcam driver is alert and prepares for what could happen. He has seen this many times. Surely other drivers experience this daily. A truck seems to come out of nowhere and tries to make a left hand turn into the intersection. The dashcam owner stated that as the truck pulled out, he was clearly looking the opposite way and to the right! To prevent T-boning this truck, the driver had to swerve into the opposite lane thus avoiding a collision. Everyone makes mistakes driving and I am sure everyone has had their own fair share of close calls and accidents. Perhaps even the occasional roll through stop sign or misjudged yellow light? Nobody's perfect. However, this vehicle should have paid more attention before blindly pulling out into traffic. Especially since he is higher off the ground you would think he has better visibility of what is behind the van. Always assume that when there is a turning vehicle, that there will be others right behind! Had there been an accident, it could have been someone's word against the other but having a dashcam would avoid any questions of fault. 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 video and features. Not too bad right? Drive safe friends.

Spectacular dashcam view as jet crosses busy highway
This is dashcam footage while traveling on 95 North in New Jersey headed towards the George Washington Bridge and New York. A Continental Airlines jet is approaching Newark Airport to land and makes a pretty cool pass over the highway as the driver is underneath.

Bad driver caught on video
Another great red light runner. Like I have said before, everyone makes mistakes driving and I am sure everyone has had their own fair share of close calls and accidents. Perhaps even the occasional roll through stop sign or misjudged yellow light? Nobody's perfect. However, this vehicle makes a blatant attempt at running the red light. As this dashcam owner was behind and approaching the intersection, it is clearly seen that the car just blows right through it with no hesitation disobeying the traffic control device. This unsafe rdriver shows no concern for anyone on the road. To make it worse, this is a very busy intersection. Had there been an accident, it could have been someone's word against the other but having a dashcam would avoid any questions of fault. 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 video and features. This one was recorded with a Vantue R2 dashcam. Not too bad right? Drive safe friends.

Stopped car runs red light
Red light runner! No question! Everyone makes mistakes driving and I am sure everyone has had their own fair share of close calls and accidents. Perhaps even the occasional roll through stop sign or misjudged yellow light? Nobody's perfect. However, this vehicle was obviously stopped at the red light. As this dashcam owner gets closer to the intersection, it is clearly seen that the car just drives off and disobeys the traffic control device. This blatant red light runner shows no concern for anyone on the road. To make it worse, this is typically a very busy interaction right before a highway on ramp. Had there been an accident, it could have been someone's word against the other but having a dashcam would avoid any questions of fault. 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 video and features. This one was recorded with a Vantue R2 dashcam. Not too bad right? Drive safe friends.

Red light runner nearly gets T-Boned
This is dashcam video footage of a van waiting for the light to turn green. When it does, he proceeds to go only to almost collide with a red light runner. This could have been real bad. Was it distracted driving for the red light runner? That's why it is always good to have a witness in these situations. In this case, the dashcam would have been helpful if there was a collision. The other driver could have said the van ran the red. Your word against his. Drive safe friends.

Did driver have time to stop before running the red?
Appears to be plenty of time to stop for the yellow light so when the driver continued it ends up being a red light. Was the light yellow for a while? Should he have stopped?

Woops I changed my mind.
Dashcam footage of car on the highway that decides at the last second that he is in the wrong lane. It would have added 20 minutes to his commute if he didn't notice in time. At least he signaled to change lanes.

Driver experiences vertigo driving through this
This is a parking garage exit ramp that continues to circle around and around until you reach ground level. Even though the tunnel is marked down only, the driver still had a fear that there would be a car going head on towards him and that at any second there would be a collision! He went round and round for what felt like minutes to him. In reality it was mere seconds.
Driver experienced some vertigo going down this multi level parking lot tunnel. He experienced dizziness when he came to a stop at the bottom and had to stop for a few seconds. It was a left turn all the way down as he went from the rooftop level all the way down to street level. It also took him a few seconds to adjust to daylight while the head spinning needed to stop.
This must be common to drivers in the big city like New York where parking is a premium and parking garages are everywhere. But for this particular driver, this was sort of an event to go into and out of this tunnel. Driver commented that there should be some kind of safe guard to prevent wrong way drivers. Something like those one way Traffic Spikes that they have at car rental places.

Speeder changes lanes recklessly
Watch this dashcam video of a driver heading east on a highway. The speed limit here is 55. Driver is in the right lane and was getting up to speed from an on ramp. He signaled to change lanes and saw that everything was clear. As he was about to move left, a speeding car suddenly passes him out and cuts in front of him nearly sideswiping in the process. Speeder also narrowly misses the car in the center lane as he makes the change to get into the right lane. You can see him continue on blazing a trail down the highway. Out of state plates too.

Over the Road Videos Dashcam Compilation, bad driving.
This is a compilation of dashcam footage captured over about a year. Normal everyday commuting always includes seeing bad drivers. Nobody is immune to occasional driving mistakes. Perhaps even myself. There are redlight runners, stop sign roll throughs, accidents, bad lane changing, car cutoffs and careless driving in general. Seeing dashcam footage can always be looked at for its entertainment value. More importantly, it is to raise awareness of your own driving habits and to make other drivers and pedestrians aware of all kinds of road activity. Drive safe.

Dashcam captures near collision with school van full of kids
Dashcam captures a morning commute. There is heavy traffic along this road most likely due to that bright yellow ball in the sky. It is really blinding. Which is probably why the van carrying school kids nearly collided with the driver. Witness how the van crosses over a couple of lanes into the driver's lane. He does signal however. The driver states, "I did not see the turn signal as I had my eyes on the road trying not to be blinded by that nuclear ball of fire!" The van does appear to hit the car but driver says it did not. He also said, "I had to swing into the breakdown lane and ride the rumble strip to avoid the collision. That's why I have a dashcam for these sorts of things. In case something like this happens." The bus should not be so quick to change lanes especially in those blinding conditions. He also crossed over a solid white line which the driver believes is not allowed. He did observe kids in the vehicle so they are lucky not to witness anything bad happen. There are many stories of buses flipping, colliding and getting into accidents. The ones that happened to children are the worse kind. Driver doesn't believe the bus driver had any idea of what happened and probably continued on his way blissfully unaware of the near death experience of all involved. Drive safe my friends.

Jeep vs tank truck road rage
A dashcam captures what appears to be some road rage in the making. As driver is heading down a 2 lane highway behind a tank truck a jeep is coming up on the on-ramp. That on-ramp then merges with the lane that the tank truck is in. I see what's happening and anticipate that the merging vehicle may want to slow down and get behind the tank truck so I move over. The jeep appears to be in a blind spot but has plenty of time to adjust speed to get behind. But the jeep seems to insist on staying in that lane perhaps thinking it was a 3rd highway lane. The two vehicles seem to come real close to sideswiping each other. When he realizes he will not win against the tank beast, he slows down and gets behind. But it is not over. Perhaps during a fit of road rage, without signaling, he changes lanes and gets in front of me. He then speeds up to get side by side with the truck, taps on brakes and then increases speed slightly. He then suddenly cuts the tank truck off leaving merely inches between bumpers. It seems obvious that the jeep let off on the gas to close the gap. Considering the weather at this time and slippery road conditions, this was not a smart move. It could have been a real disaster. Perhaps the tanker didn't see the jeep coming up the on-ramp. He probably had no idea that they nearly sideswiped each other seconds earlier. Even if he did see him, it is no reason for the jeep to act aggressively after the fact. He should have been the bigger person and let it go. Clearly a demonstration of reckless driving, road rage and immature behavior. Oh, and the snow on the jeep? In CT there is an “ice missile” law whereby fines range from $75-$1250 for the non removal of snow off of vehicles. Drive safe everyone.

Highly paid state plow parks and waits for the snow to come
Dashcam captures a state plow just waiting on the side of the road. No question that there is overtime involved here so they could be “milking” it. Time and a half or even double time? The highway roads are clear and there is nothing falling. Nothing is forecasted to be falling for a few hours. What is he doing? Warming up the truck? Dashcam owner has witnessed this many times. In a state where excess spending and budget cuts are the main topic of the news, seeing this just gets the blood boiling.
