Here’s the best tip for anyone who witnesses a really bad accident in front of them. If you can safely go beyond the accidents to stop and assist, do so by quite a bit because if the road becomes blocked or shut by emergency services, once your help is no longer required you will be able to leave the scene unhindered. You’re welcome, from an ex Police employee.

I saved a kid from running into traffic once - and saved an innocent driver from a lifetime of trauma. My husband and I were sitting at a busy intersection in Sydney when I noticed a toddler running toward the busy road. I looked back expecting the see a parent not far behind but there was no one. I immediately jumped out of the car and sprinted toward the kid. I got to him as he was running between 2 parked cars on the busy road, and nearly dislocated his shoulder when I yanked him off the road. By the time I got him, he was about to step out from the parked cars - maybe 2 steps from being killed. His mum was sitting in the huge yard of a home on the corner talking to a friend. The open gate was at the back end of the property, meaning that she was not paying attention to the kid for at least 3-5 minutes. She only noticed the kid was gone when she heard him screaming because I had hurt his shoulder. She also did not thank me - but I assumed she was in shock. The distance to the car's tyre when I got the kid is seared into my memory.

It's why you should always drive at a speed which allows you to stop in the distance you can see to be clear. The driver was the real hero there doing exactly that, albeit I might not have sounded the horn as it might have frightened the toddler into something even more dangerous.

Hi all. I WAS THE DRIVER IN CLIP 23. I was the lady. We were hit by a 14 seater mini bus from a Christian Missionary. The 10 children on board weren't wearing seatbelts. I was not 'yakking on the phone'. The missing part of the video was an ex Army guy on the hard shoulder helped us, he'd called the police with my narration. My mum has no hip bones. My door wouldn't open, we were trapped in the car. Before i passed out the emergency services needed to know mums bones, allergies and dialysis situation. Mum was in and out of consciousness with a broken wrist. My knees and ankles were shot too. We were both cut out of the vehicle. The driver had convinced the car infront that i had hit him. The traffic police thought the same until 5 minutes later, motorway cctv called them to confirm it was not my fault. Scary part was only 15ft stretch of motorway was being recorded by cctv that day. This went to court 3 times because he appealed stating it was racism from the police officer who he accused of tampering with the motorway recording and my cctv too. Mum has been left with a permanent bend in the arm and ptsd. I was taking her for a surprise break after being house bound for 15 years. Careful driving guys....:)

Agreed. That HGV driver was clearly trying to bully the smaller car into letting them overtake. Or, at the very least, was trying to overtake unnecessarily. As truck drivers, we often have to sit behind slower moving vehicles because an overtake is too risky or would take too long. Even if a car is doing 10-20 under the limit, sometimes.

I was taught the five blinks rule for changing lanes. 1 blink, mirrors, signal. 2 blinks, blind spot check. 3 blinks check forward and behind. 4 blinks check your mirrors again, 5 blinks check your blind spot again and complete your manoeuvre. I have a car with blind spot warning, I still check over my shoulder, it’s a habit! Like opening the car door with my left hand to avoid killing a cyclist. My driving tutor for the advanced stuff was a guy who had driven logistics for the military. He said mirrors are there to be used, they’re not there to replace your brain. Use everything you’ve got, including reflections off buildings, people looking at something you haven’t seen, and sound. I still roll my windows down at difficult junctions because I can hear what I can’t see.

In #clip 4, it was rather ironical that the passenger asked the driver if he was OK, when he was clearly completely calm and with his passenger in a state of panic (and she was on the side of the impact). In any event, it was a continental HGV, which will have bigger blind spots on the right hand side, so be especially careful. However, the driver of the HGV really had no excuse as he should have been aware of the vehicle to his right for quite a long time. Simple lack of awareness in that case.

People check mirrors for vehicles in other lanes or behind them. You can't see between the cars much on a slight curve.

Everyone please remember, you are usually at least partly to blame for any accident, even it’s only 1%. From not seeing the grand piano about to come out of a 3rd story window onto your car (lack of forward thinking and observation) to not anticipating the possibility that the car may pull out of the side road into your path, where you should pass wide, or if dangerous to do so, by passing slowly. Always ask yourself if the other nearby driver can see you. If unsure, change your positioning. With good observation front back and sides you should get to recognise potential impending impacts.

So many of these clips show why you simply must have a dash cam for your own protection - I would say only about 1 in 5 people do in the UK.

You were lucky not have been rear-ended by on ongoing vehicle in the outside lane of the carriage way had just filtered off.

Top Dashcam Tip: If you're involved in a collision and you are not at fault but the at-fault driver is insisting you are and they aren't. DO NOT TELL THEM you have a dashcam. Simply let them make their statement to their insurer and you make yours and submit the footage. You will still get paid out/fixed and they will have their policy CANCELLED for INSURANCE FRAUD. It's a criminal conviction and they have to declare it to any new insurer for 5 years, longer if the prospective insurers specifically asks on the application. They will be paying through the nose for YEARS for insurance and given the seriousness of the conviction may not be able to continue in their job. My lovely ex-neighbour found this out the hard way when he reversed into me then claimed I ran into the back of him.

I hope they dont have people that rely on them

"completely the lorries fault " my ass, take some responsibility for sitting in such a stupid spot where the driver can't see you. Then says "makes me nervous about being next to lorries". DERRRRRR!

#11 was a break check by the Marc, but what was the HGV thinking, driving like that!

#91 I was always told to not go up the inside of a turning lorry as this can happen. To me its the cars fault

Tricky one. Lorry left a lot of space and probably should have checked before pulling out knowing how much space there was.

@@David_Trowbridge not really a tricky one as if you look at the road it actually a single lane, there is no middle markings stating its 2 lanes, its a wide road to allow lorries like that to turn and not have the trailer mount the curb, so to me the car driver was in the wrong twice, one for pulling up the inside of the lorry and another for stopping in his blind (ish) spot

Totally the cars fault, how were they planning on looking for traffic approaching from the right. Blind Spot cameras would have been very useful here.

@@kevinjohnson1958 That's not the way insurance companies of traffic collision investigators look at it. Could the trucker have done anything to avoid this collision? Yes, he could have checked his left mirror to see if there was anything coming up on his left. He should have seen part of the car as he started to enter onto the other road.

1:30. Foreign lorry driver, enough said. I would like to see statistics of how many accidents involving trucks, are not UK registered. When i have passed accidents involving trucks, its usually a foreign one.

Yes, a left hand drive truck, and the car sat right in his blind spot for ages. Technically the truck driver's fault, but many car drivers don't help themselves.

@@cavhutch Sorry pal. All trucks that drive on UK roads now have to be fitted with wide angled mirrors. If he didn't have these mirrors, he was driving illegally. More likely though, like most truck drivers, he did have the correct mirrors, but chose to indicate and pull out before checking, because it's too much hassle to slow down. The law needs to change, because driving a 30 Tonne + truck without due care and attention is usually fatal. It's not a vehicle, it's a weapon.

Strange, I see UK registered vehicles causing havoc and accidents a lot more. These collection of clips do as well. There’s 14 clips involving lorry drivers making clear mistakes one indistinguishable plate (looks UK registered), just 1 foreign plate and then clips: 10, 11, 18, 26, 56, 62, 75, 77, 81, 84, 91, 108 all UK plates, or 85% non foreign registered vehicles. Guessing blaming foreigners says something more about you.

I decided to like this video at 29:16 😂😂😂 And again at 42:42 😂😂😂 There’s something about slow moving collisions like that which I find just far too funny!

#51 - good save - had to flex about his audi though haha :)

8:43 really wished this was one of those times the cammer got out much bigger and beat the bejesus out of the guy in front, he deserved it.

#79 This clip @42:50 has been shown hundreds of times over the last 10 years, best of the month my arse!

You do not swerve EVER, FOR NO ONE, EVER, unless its a child in the road.. Other than that you do not swerve.. What you do is try to break, hit the horn and stop without locking up the wheels. BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER SWERVE.

6:53 my cab to school and back uses this roundabout every day!

I did.

Funny how nobody's dashcam ever records them making a mistake, only other people.

I saved a kid from running into traffic once - and saved an innocent driver from a lifetime of trauma. My husband and I were sitting at a busy intersection in Sydney when I noticed a toddler running toward the busy road. I looked back expecting the see a parent not far behind but there was no one. I immediately jumped out of the car and sprinted toward the kid. I got to him as he was running between 2 parked cars on the busy road, and nearly dislocated his shoulder when I yanked him off the road. By the time I got him, he was about to step out from the parked cars - maybe 2 steps from being killed. His mum was sitting in the huge yard of a home on the corner talking to a friend. The open gate was at the back end of the property, meaning that she was not paying attention to the kid for at least 3-5 minutes. She only noticed the kid was gone when she heard him screaming because I had hurt his shoulder. She also did not thank me - but I assumed she was in shock. The distance to the car's tyre when I got the kid is seared into my memory.

Things to learn from this: 1, Stay out of blind spots. 2, Assume everyone else on a roundabout has no idea how to use it. 3, Never trust an hgv. 😊

6:04 Probably stopped the lorry getting stuck under the bridge just down the road. 26 times a year was the record or something like that I think

#11 - that wagon driver was being abused by the merc probably way before the video started too, and yes 100% a brake check

#49 fantastic driving from van driver!! Also possibly cammer I believe they slowed down also to compensate. Also the driver that made the error, clearly realised earlier than most, checked saw the van and was hesitant and looked willing to take the exit anyway, then proceeded safely when it was clear AND POSSIBLY THE BEST THING IS THE F’ING INDICATED!! Genuinely mind blown people use them 😅

Where the van hit the back of the parked bus. There could be another reason that happens a lot. The van either texting or looking at his phone to find out where his next job is?

Ah yes, #7 3:40 of course the silly man trying to catch his dog should’ve changed into some hi-vis first! How inconsiderate of him to be wearing black clothes during this unexpected turn of events he clearly should’ve foreseen.

We can not judge him because we do not know the circumstances prior to the clip. Who is to say he was walking the dog in the first place? The dog could have escaped his home through no fault of his or it may not even be his dog and he's just trying to help get it safe. It's like the toddler clip earlier in the video. If you had not seen the woman get out of the passenger side of the car and only witnessed her rushing over to the kid to pick him up out of the road you might say "she was irresponsible to let her child go into the road like that! She should not have kids!" not knowing it's not her child and she was just helping! Don't make snap judgements without knowing the facts, while no harm in a comment on a video, in the real world such snap judgements can lead to serious consequences!

I worked for mackies. the coach company that is heading your video. that coach was written off! the guy in the blue Gas van was on his phone and the coach was on a school run in Stirling.

#101 both cars straddling two lanes on the roundabout too just shows the competence of their driving

2:35 the flatbed bloke flipping out like they just scratched his immaculate Mercedes lol. I feel a lot of people just put on a show for whatever reason

Bonus points for the irony of having an accident whilst actually playing Road To Hell. Lol.

Well produced video. You see a lot of crap dash cam footage but this is quality. Thanks

There are so many very bad drivers who will not give an inch, instead of making allowances for drivers who have made a mistake they virtually cause an accident rather than attempting to avoid one.....

90% of these are drivers who believe its OK for drivers on the right to hover. It's meant for an overtaking lane on the right, if they're not doing that, that's a massive red flag you on the left lane should look out for. It is NOT about fault of driver, IT IS about mitigating an incident. When people realise this there will be significantly less incidents. You will be proactive to force an overtake (by slowing down) or force a none overtake (by speeding up). If you like the risk of getting hit and agro then by all means do nothing proactive to prevent.
