Idiocy on the road is not only dangerous, but it's incredibly annoying. SO much headache, pain, and suffering could be avoided if people simply paid attention to the basic rules of the road.
My mission is to showcase how NOT to drive, park, cycle, roll, cross the road, or otherwise commute. And have some fun along the way 😁
If you weren't already aware, Seattle has a certain...reputation for bad drivers. The geography, street layout, rapid population influx, outdated infrastructure, poorly managed roads, lack of enforcement, and the obliviousness of the average American driver all swirl together to create a micro-climate of tarmac insanity!
NO racism, sexism, or ableism will be tolerated here.
Judge people by their actions, not for who they are or what they look like.

Half the fight is for infrastructure, and this channel has made me realize the other half is teaching people to not be lemmings.
why do gay guys always go after straight guys? its such a sick turn on for them.
Called the Seattle police about the egg throwing, that's completely unacceptable and can permanently damage cars.
@@bigdaddy3662 and what did they tell you? 😂
Salty makes me hornus
The hell? Salty gets me much wetter when he's riding his bike.
Whenever my money started getting right, I'm gonna try my best to donate some money to your channel so you could get a plane ticket up here to the Chicagoland area so you could ride on the bike lanes up here. You still have my support.
Thank you Salty for your cycling videos. I almost got hit by a scooter in Downtown Chicago earlier today on the sidewalk. Those scooters are fast dude.
Such an awesome video man. Not actually but for the viewer. Thanks for sharing this crazy experience man!!😎💙
Mr I think I'm tough because I put tat's on my arms changed his attitude when he noticed the camera
@@oisajdfposid He sure did! 😂 I hope he sees himself in the thumbnail 😂
I'm going to be the person that says that you are literally trying to be an exact replica of ZeroEnigma and I personally believe its for the purpose of attention and fame. We are all human... With that being said that means we have faults. We aren't perfect beings in any shape, way, or form. Regardless of your exhaustive attempts of trying to prevent supposed "safety concerns" you'll never be able to properly change these people's minds. I see someone that is basically making himself look like an entitled male version of a Karen because you decide to watch someone in the same field in New York. What's even more hilarious is Seattle has arund 750,000 people living there and New York City has 8.3 million. So with ZeroEnigma's end, I see the valid concern for one's safety. He's been hit multiple times, almost avoided death for that matter, and you're making an insult of him in my opinion. With the lady that cut you off, I was agitated just like you with the action she intiated, but when you wanted to result in calling her an idiot when she seemed apologetic to you, that's where I lost respect for you.
ZeroEnigma Seattle edition I see
@@RailfanRXR Yep 👍😁
You seem more in the closeted in these videos. You've gotten progressively more homosexual.
@@bigdaddy3662 Why do you spend so much time thinking about my 🍆, big DADDY? 😘
@@SaltySeattleCyclist because I want to be inside you
@@bigdaddy3662 No answer? I KNOW you're there, because you've been commenting on my other videos (and getting me some of that sweet, sweet ad revenue. Thanks!)
Green jacket should have be totally quit after security came
When you live n a place like Seattle. You will be salty. Everyone there is always in a bad condescending mood.
And you would know this, how?
I'm so excited the algorithm delivered your channel! This is awesome video.
I'm so happy the algorithm delivered us together! Feel free to enjoy my many dozens of other videos of scofflaws
You would be giving out tickets left and right if you were a cop on patrol in Seattle.
I absolutely would be! Because dangerous behavior is not difficult to find 😵💫
I find it funny how you run reds yourself, even though app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=46.61.755 clearly states you are bound to the same traffic laws as cars.
I ride motorcycle myself and I appreciated your channel. I had a person kicked my motorcycle wheel and I busted out his tail light.
What did he say when he leaned forward? When you captioned "that made it 100x worse"?
@15:11 “it’s not your business bro” that Dude needs to re evaluate
Distracted driving is everyone's business, because it vastly increases the likelihood of a crash happening between the distracted driver and everyone else around them. And especially for vulnerable road users like myself, that's a deadly risk.
@@SaltySeattleCyclist yes I loved the part when you told him to get a phone mount. This is why I purchased a phone mount 10 years ago and it has saved many lives including my own. Keep up the awesome videos man!
@@Chunkyburnerz I have to apologize, I misread your original comment and thought you were talking about ME needing to mind my own business. You get it, I'm extremely glad to have people like you here who don't make excuses for phone driving! 🥳
@@SaltySeattleCyclist don’t worry I realized I worded it wrong haha. Just wanted to reach out and commend you for always holding people accountable. Safe travels !
@@SaltySeattleCyclist there was a time I crashed as a young teenager from being distracted on my phone.
Thanks for what you do, as much as it seems like these people are lost causes, I still hope someone learns something from what you say. In Kirkland (and im sure many other places, this is just something I've been noticing for a while) there are some intersections with one lane and a bike lane. The city intentionally puts double white lines there so drivers don't go into the bike lane to turn right. I see people do it all the time and I really wish you were around to back me up lol.
A perfect example of entitlement.
I agree, car drivers are entitled AF in our car-centric society that we've built in North America
25:00 Might not need men with guns if you carried pepper spray and/or a taser. 🤷♂️🤣
I have ways to protect myself, I'd always rather not have to use them if I don't have to!
18:39 Just wondering why this is acceptable for cyclists and pedestrians yet not for vehicles?
The primary reason is because the immense difference in consequences. Studies have demonstrated over and over that places that allow cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs and traffic lights as stop signs not only don't see any uptick in cyclist crashes, they actually DECREASE. This video explains it better than I ever could: kzread.info/dash/bejne/imeVtrGslLapd9Y.htmlsi=WbY5rQ4ahVCEW-3M Another great one more about pedestrian safety: kzread.info/dash/bejne/kXatp6SjlpzRpLw.htmlsi=LhaWalwYQoaExxro
And this is what can happen when car drivers run red lights: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZpOYr8dpodHWn8Y.htmlsi=_kjBLQOH8702N9yS kzread.info/dash/bejne/q6h22Lh-gbPOctI.htmlsi=gS85yecsvIPKsvOQ
14:17 I appreciate you calling people out on this, SSC. This is 99% of all accidents, slowdowns, and near-misses.
Are you just looking for someone to see if they make mistakes on the road? People make mistakes so let them go. Or maybe you should apply for police to become traffic cop you can proudly give them a ticket if they violate traffic rule lol
@@kennoguchi5413 I don't have to go looking for anything, people commit traffic safety violations so often that it's impossible to not notice. These aren't mistakes either, they're a complete lack of education and/or a complete disregard for the safety of others. Did you know that traffic-caused deaths are increasing rapidly across North America? Are there just more "acts of god", or are people driving more recklessly?
@@SaltySeattleCyclist The why don't u report those violations to the police so they will issue tickets. I don't think those violators will change their driving behavior unless they get fine or warning. I don't think they violate on purpose. They look to me mistakes. I think gun violence is the top cause of death in the states.
@@kennoguchi5413 There is no system in place in the US for civilians to contact law enforcement to retroactively issue tickets or fines. The UK is the only place that I'm aware of that allows citizen-submitted footage to be used as means to convict unlawful drivers (watch CyclingMikey). I have been assaulted multiple times by people, and nothing has ever come of it even after calling and submitting video evidence to local police departments. I have ONE case where someone was actually convicted by the state, two years after it happened, and that was only after the state racked up SEVEN felony counts against this individual.
How did you file charges against balloon guy?
@@kerncod22 Either via a phone call with SPD or an online report filing with SPD. Either way, I fully expect that nothing will come of it.
Disgusting !Omg 😳
4 way stops are a master class in driving after all. lol
@@neonmanatee1952 That's S License level skills, for sure 😂
As a delivery driver in a 5 ton truck and Material delivery driver. I try to help make sure I park in a safe manner. Away from anyone. It doesn’t take me hours of my life to do it. It only took me 5 minutes the longest.
@@neonmanatee1952 Well, we appreciate people like you! It's a shame so many of your coworkers are lazy and use bike lanes as "free parking"
What the 1% of bike lane users looks like all over town. Small percentage actually uses them.
@@smokinjoeb3926 That means that the bike lanes are (1) unsafe, and (2) do a bad job at providing a smooth, efficient route for cyclists.
re: the cops not showing up... Holy sh*t it's so bad in Seattle. My partner was assaulted and an officer never showed up despite 911 being called twice. I don't even bother anymore.
@@swanmeet They really don't give a single shit about the citizens of Seattle. In fact, their behavior is downright contemptuous.
Typical PNW person... Just trashy and mad at the world because their state us 25 years behind the rest of the country and they r stuck in dark rainy weather 8 months out of the year.... This guys a hypocrite and pathetic
5:56 He saw your camera.
9:11 Problem is... you're driving illegally in the left lane. Per fhe RCW.... the left lane is passing only.
So even though I'm clearly moving faster than the flow of traffic and passing other cars on the right....I have to yield those behind me who are trying to drive double the speed limit? 🤔
@@SaltySeattleCyclist Yes. The WSP has stated that it's their job to enforce the speeding laws and have cracked down on "Left-Lane Campers" who feel it's their responsibility to pace other drivers. People are welcome to pass slower traffic, however, they must move back to the through or collect and distribute lanes.
8:45 Entitlement 💯%.
13:19 Waiting for the stop sign to turn green.
Yeah that was painful 😂
1:23 Must be British. 🤷♂️
2:10 Pull in front of them and throw your hazards on.
The temptation is real 😂
40:32 then you proceed to park next to a sign that reads "No Parking within 30 Feet". 🤣
Fair 😂 but I worked there, and knew that we would never get in trouble for parking our delivery vehicles there...that's car-brained city governance for you!
15:45 that guilty look was priceless! 🤣
26:36 That's legit. 🤣🤣🤣 Cool they caught themselves. 👏👏👏
14:03 Weekend at Bernie's. 😂
15:28 this person is paying 0% attention to the road... while in motion. This is what gets people killed. 🤬
I've made similar mistakes (including in my latest video edit that's going to post this week!), but thankfully that was the front seat passenger that was on the phone!
20:02 He was waiting for the stop sign to turn green.
1:25 Too bad it would be an assault if you did a drive by slap on his butt. 3:31 Just watched the second Borat over the weekend. 🤣 4:16 Pretty sure they have 4 way stops in Arizona. 🤣🤦♂ 8:05 Yeah, we even have people around here vandalize them too. 8:37 That way you wouldn't be so startled like she was. 🤣 9:08 Man are there ever a lot of phone zombies in that bike lane in this video. 22:29 Maybe they should have painted that section green like they do for other bike lanes. 24:29 Or that works.
9:30 Nah, Bro. Those signs are confusing AF and not positioned appropriately... especially when fighting traffic out.
Could they be better? Sure. But there are like 3 sets of signs before the lanes split off, it's not rocket science, you just have to do the unthinkable and pay attention 😆
