And do not stay in car. Moving out on the highway is suicide.

Why would you not stay in the car if the highway is suicide. I'm getting conflicting instructions here

Sheepdroid
Seems like a logical place to get out of the car exchange credentials.
bbecks
Does anyone saying that the truck driver was going too fast notice the cars to the right of him keeping pace? He's not speeding.
YeahWellAboutThat
Huh? He's overtaking the black car on the far right and switching lanes when he starts closing in on the car in front of them.

Would like people to take a drivers test every 10 years or so

10?! Less than that. I got 100% in every driving test I have ever done. And only 7 years later found myself picking up bad habits and 1/2

Have had laws changed without even realising. Would be good to do a refresher every 5 years I think.

Hahahha I was thinking this! Fucking M4 and M5. Banes of existence
jesusedgarhoover
Is it? The driver's accent was definitely Australian. Is there an Australian M4? There probably is. Ignore me...
prayingpolarbear
Yes there is an Australian M4. Main motorway west from the Parramatta Road, Sydney out to Penrith and further west.
jesusedgarhoover
Cool. I live quite near the M4 in England, and I avoid it at all fucking costs.
prayingpolarbear
Haha I can see the M4 from my apartment and have to travel the fucker everyday. Unavoidable for me unfortunately.

No idea why people stop in the middle after a moderate crash, I would get my car to the side of the road and then get over the barrier.

I ain't dying over some piece of metal being in the same spot it crashed in. Adjusters don't care anyway.

Certainly a good way to die what with all those high speed vehicles. At least pull off into the closest layby.
dullguava
Not like we'd come out at a loss there.
Bootsy81
Nah, it saves dealing with insurance companies.
jesusedgarhoover
The closest layby? You mean the one that's RIGHT FUCKING THERE! Stupid does not come close to covering this woman.
Setsylarper
I've always been told to get the fuck out of the car and off the road. Trucks can't stop quickly and them rolling over your car will kill.
StonerCatJay
She took way too long for her to be thinking about that
Asteroidrules
Get the car over to the right shoulder ASAP.
Setsylarper
True, sometimes the car won't let you (I don't know near nough bout cars to guess if hers would be able to drive, though I'd guess yes).
Bigcakes
'Right' as in correct, right?
Asteroidrules
Whatever side you drive on, right for two thirds of the world, left for the British Empire.
TheYoungGod
Unpopular opinion but I think the truck? driver is the one who fucked up. They are blasting past traffic straight into a merging lane. Any..
AusteninAlaska
I agree. Check mirror, lanes clear. Start changing lanes then BAM. Truck. Maybe its the dashcam but it looks like the driver is speeding.
ItsReallyNotThatDifficult
If merging, it is the responsibility of the one merging to complete the merge safely. This is an example of stupidity.
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
Looks like less than 10mph speed difference and he's only going 57mph. He also isn't in the merging lane, he is one over from it.
jesusedgarhoover
It definitely wasn't the truck driver, she pulled right out in front of him and lorries need much more stopping room. Totally her fault.
squintish
Technically if you rear end someone it's your fault. But she made it pretty much impossible not to hit her.
Tanishh
Nope. He’s going under 60 mph, she goes a lane farther than she needs to, and most importantly, merging vehicles yield to people on the road
Tanishh
, NOT the other way around. You can say the truck was rude or whatever but she is legally 100% at fault.
BringBackVanillaCoke
I'd say he's doing approximately 91-93 km/h
TheYoungGod
Under 60 is irrelevant. He was clearly going faster than the flow around him. She was well into the lane and didn't cut in suddenly. Any...
jesusedgarhoover
This film is sped up mate. You're wrong. Deal with it.
TheYoungGod
Officer would find him at fault. Drivers are responsible for maintaining a safe stopping speed and distance from the car ahead.
EndersGameofThrones
She did jump out in front of him and braked hard twice. Never brake when merging; maintain speed or accelerate. Why'd she backup into him?
jesusedgarhoover
It wasn't ahead, it fucking pulled out sharply in front of him you fucking cretin.
melovecoffee
She changed lanes w/o looking. He wasn’t in the merging lane. Her insurance will try to pin some of fault on him but thanks to the dash cam.
subzero600
Merging lane is to the left of the truck. She went into the merging lane and then into the next lane over.
TheYoungGod
Actually. I'm going to retract. I think the lens is a fish eye out something. So I'm not 100%, but looks to me like they continue to merge.
TheYoungGod
Follow that lane you are looking at and you will notice it merges as well. You can see the other cars passing on the left merging in.
Reisdorf12
No it doesn’t. You can see a red car in that lane that doesn’t merge and it gets passed by a whit car in the lane the accident happened in.
TheYoungGod
Reasonable person would slow down or avoid the merging lane. I do the same when cars are merging from the right on US roads. As for...
TheYoungGod
The car driver stopping and getting out. It was dumb but that was a HARD hit. I wouldn't be surprised if they are dazed and confused.
peoplearetheproblem
If you slow down to let cars onto the highway in the US, then you are an idiot. Move over if you can, but dont impede traffice ffs.
jinbee
A thousand times this! People stand on a fucking motorway to argue. Get as far off the damn road as possible before the next idiot arrives.
EndersGameofThrones
Or, worse and more likely, some cop has to protect her dumbass from oncoming traffic and gets creamed by traffic.
Voltair
How fast is the guy with the camera going?
SirChadwellHeath
92kph / 57mph at impact*, gps data at the bottom of screen (*although GPS usually has a bit of a lag)
jesusedgarhoover
Not as fast as it looks. This film's considerably sped up.
BlackoutAU
Every time something like this is posted people bend over backwards to blame the truck, it's a 100km freeway, he is under the speed limit 1/
BlackoutAU
overtaking from the inside lane is not illegal in Australia because we're not retarded 2/2
Voltair
I was just wondering how fast the truck was going.
BlackoutAU
Yeah accidentally replied to you rather than a few sub comments, sorry!
InappropriateElephant
bottom of gif says 92kph when they first hit. about 57 mph.
Lustig1374
Gif is sped up, the truck was driving at a perfectly reasonable speed. And the women driving was black.
TheResistee
Uh... no, she's not.
ThenIDefyYouStars
Doesn't matter if the gif was sped up. He was still clearly going tons faster than everyone else. & who cares about her color??
jesusedgarhoover
*woman. And she was Asian, though I don't see what difference that makes?
ZombiePuggle
Ty for letting us know, cause his speed was my 1st thought.
Mackrelmint
I need to get a dashcam ASAP.
iputthefiresout
I'm thinking of getting one. I was just rear ended a couple weeks ago. Hard to prove fault of it hadn't been a rear ending
Serverdamager
Got a cheap one from a website named after a rainforest. Works perfectly.
stukajr
Same here, $50 + price of a micro flashcard, everything you need to install, pairs to phone named after an apple. Cool videos, no accidents
Azmania
Yes you do. I have front and rear facing, GPS enabled. No questions.
homoerection
I keep telling myself this!!!!

I just use my phone and the free apps they work just like a dashcam and even record in the background so you can use nav apps

We just hook up our GoPro facing forward. Maybe we’ll get a rear view dash cam though just in case.

Pruveeo. 36 bucks on amazon. 720p. Will put out its own wifi so you can connect with a cell phone and download a recording.

This is exactly why I got one too...all the gifs on imgur scarred me into buy them for every single car in my household.

It sounds like you mean "in case of accidents" but we know you really mean "for all those Fake Internet Points on Imgur".

Of course.

Get a good one with a rear camera too. Your insurance company and lawyer will thank you
CrankyKraken
I have a VAVA dash cam. Rather nice.
Treblaine
Remember, you don't need a dashcam after you've had an accident as if that proves you need one, you need to get one BEFORE any incident.
Treblaine
AStegosaurus
Accident doesn't imply no one is to blame. It means it wasn't on purpose. It's still someone's fault.

Are you implying that the film Hot Fuzz wasn't 100% realistic?

Lumpybiscuitz
Do u even need video if ur rearended. No matter wat its the persons fault.
pigleythree
Sometimes, people will deliberately brake hard and blame a car that pulled out in front of them. Of course, the mystery car is never found
captainjuicy
Could try and argue that you backed into them.
WhoWereYouDenverCoder9WhatDidYouSee
Ironically the video proved the first car hit the second car, then hit my wife’s car. Just by sound of the first collision.
somadicouldspitfire
Not true. Many states have NO FAULT law.. when someone rear ended my car a certain % was my fault.. basically just for being there. 1.2
somadicouldspitfire
When my parked car was totaled by a drunk driver a % was still my fault for being parked on the street.
TohruH3
But this gif just showed that it's not?
Lumpybiscuitz
I mean the person carelessly changed lanes. I mean if u were in one lane and reareneded someone its always ur fault
SirGrumps
Allegedly in some areas (unless this was changed recently) it's automatically the rear-ender's fault, doesn't matter circumstance.
madmatt2024
Not if you can prove that you got brake checked.
iamnikolatesla

I read a xiaomi dash cam was a good option. Gotta start the research.

I used my cellphone with a cloud app on my motorcycle. Saved me on insurance because of it.

Discount or catching a not at fault incident?
Nyquilforsleepytime
Not at fault. I pulled up on a red light it turned green and the other guy ran a red hitting my front tire. Knocking my bike out from under.

Ahh gotcha. I am surprised insurance companies don't have discounts for functioning dash cams.

I recommend the mini, I have a 0805 but there are newer models, and the Viofo 119. Both around 100 dollar with good reliability.
nameisunavailable
I have the Yi 2.7, its really good for the price ($50). it can record in 2304x1296 30fps or 1080p at 60fps. the image quality is good too.

YourTypicalFriend
does it go over old video? need a SD card?
nameisunavailable
Yes you need an SD card, a 32gb gets like 4 hours or so. It will overwrite the oldest recording when it fills.
SmokingGandalf
Something that records at least 720p best is 1080p also one that will record over old video is nice to have, wide lens and good night vision
OptimisticDownvoteLover
Record over old video?
Atlas819
Saves space, you only really need the dash cam to record accidents to show you're not at fault. So recording over saves space in the memory.
YeahIGoToCollege
I assume so you’re not storing video of you just driving around.
PlatypusPowersActivate
Message me if you have any questions. I’ve done lots of research into them. I have a similar model to the one in the video and I love it!
