Crawdaddy79's dash cam collection of vehicular asshattery.

Holy crap! I thought people were retarded drivers here in the US! Good grief is there any common sense in Russia when it comes to the roads?

In soviet russia car crashes you.

To be fair alot of the roads are poorly laid out.

No offense, but most of that crap in the video looked like extremely bad driving. Lots of poor decisions, plenty of accelerating when should be braking, turning/changing lanes without looking, etc.

Some of it definitely looked like poorly laid out roads that make no sense, but that doesn't explain all those rear end collisions.
 
I mean I've seen bus drivers drive like dicks after they've dropped off the kids, but usually not with them in there. Like that one guy who pushed the yield to oncoming a little too close.
 
All the bus clips were done at non school hours, with the exception of the one that cut off traffic to make a left turn. I assume that they didn't have kids in them. I certainly didn't notice any when I looked.

The one that made the left turn in front of me, I slowed down as soon as I saw him start to go. It would have been a lot closer if I waited till last second to slow down like I normally do when cars turn in front of me, but for some reason I felt I needed to be more responsible with a possible wreck with a school bus.
 
Hate to say I see this all the time in Atlanta. I've taken it to just be how they drive there, and when in the city & asshats won't let me over, I do cut in like some of your footage shows. Gotta get around somehow, god forbid anyone actually keep some distance between cars there or pay attention to a friggin blinker. I try to be the nicest driver I can, but some peeps are just selfish pricks and a-holes.

Gotta say tho - driving in the remote parts of NW Georgia is MUCH WORSE. These people haven't a friggin clue. I should get a dashcam just for them. You can predict bad city drivers. Bad country drivers... there is nothing to predict. They'll stop at a stop sign... but with half the car in the oncoming lane. Your lane. *eyeroll* And heaven forbid they nearly miss a McDonald's. They'll cut in front and slam brakes... then take FOREVER to actually make the damn turn for their grease fix.

I've driven many many many hours in the Atlanta area over the last decade and a half, and I assure you that the frequency in which the events occur is quite a bit higher here. :)

Though, to be fair, using a blinker usually works here, more so than most other places I've driven.

Priuses (Prii?) are generally driven by clueless asshats. Most of the things that don't make it to my video are when I'm behind one that's merging at 20 MPH below the speed limit, or generally driving slow while weaving in the lane as they're punching something into their GPS or texting. I might have to do a Prius special; I know I have enough footage for it.

That's because the pieces of **** can't even get out of their own way. If I get behind one on the onramp I usually stop dead to give myself more space if no one is behind me, ****ers end up merging at 40MPH.
 
Yeah, I've only seen one or two Prius(es) driven like someone who knows what they are doing. Most of the time it seems like I'm stuck behind a first time driver. Always below the speed limit, always merge slow (and will sometimes panic and stop rather than accelerating up to speed), and just other vehicle asshatery.

I don't hate the car so much as the people it attracts.

Around here, when they were first coming out with hybrids, the made an exception to the HOV lanes that if you were in a hybrid you could drive on it. This attracted the typical Prius driver, plus those that are completely okay with spending $30k or so to bypass traffic as Prius purchasers.

There are a lot of them all over the place. They were going to remove the exception but last I heard they extended it.
 
This one, too.

This one, too.

I agree. I've been in LA once and that was enough. Worst drivers in the world and I've been all over the world.

I've only been to San Diego. The drivers there were screwy, but not insane. The worst actions they took could be blamed easily on the intersections - I remember one spot where there was one right turn lane that turned onto a road with five lanes - but that was also where the five lane road started. Then there were railroad tracks on a hill, and right on the other side of the railroad tracks there was two left turn lanes, two right turn lanes, and a straight lane, less than 50 feet on the other side, all at a traffic light. On the other side of the light was three lanes, but they were lined up with the right side of the road, and it went under a bridge where right turn wasn't allowed at the next light, but the two right lanes had to merge into one 50 feet on the other side of the light (left lane was left turn only).

Got all that? Good.
