Episode 3: NoVA Dashcam Compilation - Bad Drivers

[lowey196]

Hi Mate, I liked your videos. Scared the sh*t out of me cause we drive on different sides of the road to you so seems a lot scarier. Sad to admit though, we have less people down under but they seem just as bad if not worse. Check out Melbourne Bad Drivers Compilations 1-13 (where I live)...it's chaos! Keep it up,mate.. hopefully these morons will wake up.

@lowey196 Hey - thanks for the heads up. I subscribe and watch pretty much every video uploaded by a YouTube dash cam user I've happened upon. Others from Australia are Baddriversoz and Roadmonitoroz (Baddriversoz has very colorful commentary if nothing else). Now subscribed to LmBsY. :)

You changed lanes in the intersection at 6:12.

[NOVAdashcam]

@djjoe9000 Strange how after everything I've put in this video, this is all you have to say. That intersection is a downtown bypass intersection. Both right turn lanes flow into both left turn lanes at the next light. If you notice, the car in front of me moved the same path, and the gold car in the left right turn lane ended up in the left left turn lane. The black SUV did have a moving violation, as it went to the far left lane from the far right lane immediately.

[djjoe9000]

@NOVAdashcam I saw many moving violations. The Jaguar, the SUV, the Mustang, and you all went into the wrong lane. When you turn from one road onto another, you turn into the lane you came from unless it's otherwise marked. If there are two right turn lanes, and you are in the rightmost right turn lane, you enter the rightmost lane on the road you are turning onto. If you're in the second lane from the right, you enter the second lane from the right on the road you're turning onto.

[NOVAdashcam]

@djjoe9000 Thanks for the tips. However, I will continue to use that intersection in the way it was intended, as I described.

[djjoe9000]

@NOVAdashcam Okay, and I'll continue to use that intersection according to how it's signed, and how the road is marked (or lack of markings in this case). If it were intended to be used the way you and most people seem to use it, then why isn't there a dotted line that continues through the intersection to show which lane goes into which?

[NOVAdashcam]

@djjoe9000 I doubt you will ever use that intersection, but if you decide to, use it in the way you describe, you will surely cause an accident. I cannot answer for Fairfax City's decision to not ensure that dashed lines are properly painted.

For what it's worth, this video isn't about people doing insignificant illegal things. This video is about people who don't know where they are, or where they're going.

Funny

[ClassicCar94]

@NOVAdashcam What type of mount did you use for the camera? Love the vids!

[NOVAdashcam]

@ClassicCar94 I have a Bracketron GPS pad sitting on my dash, and for these I used a SunPak Click 'n Stick. I think they're discontinued though (super bad reviews due to suction cup not working for people) but I bought it from Best Buy. For my next one I've been using a RAM mount... and there's a long story behind problems I was having with it but they've been fixed.

[RoverT988]

2 people were featured in this video :P

Keep the videos coming, and keep the blinker fluid filled.

[djwestbrook36]

i drive in va...i mean there not TERRIBLE but i guess the traffic here is begginning to get to them

[truckernacion]

Wow, awesome friend video, many people would that remove card..!!they are stupid and believe that they know to lead, the dismissal in 2: 20 is incomprehensible...Good catches.

[NOVAdashcam]

@truckernacion Thanks friend. ;)

[gsnman]

And I thought the drivers in Las Vegas were bad...!

[ClassicCar94]

@gsnman I went there this summer, they actually weren't that bad.

[Shibby3769]

The recurring theme in all of these videos is that no one knows where the hell they're going.

[NOVAdashcam]

@jerry20874 It's definitely a unique experience coexisting with some of the drivers in this area. I don't normally hit the I-270 area, but when I do, there's always someone driving in triple digit speeds (probably because the asphalt is super smooth), unlike here where you're lucky to be doing the speed limit if you're behind someone, even if traffic is light.

[rextinctione]

wow so many last second moves and bad drivers! im surprise you dont capture any accidents! great compilation and keep them up! strange cause I hate long vids but seems to go by fast and very entertaining! nice captures! I hate motorcycles I really do!

[NOVAdashcam]

@rextinctione Very happy to hear I can grab your attention. It's exactly what I'm going for when I make these... I can keep my own attention after watching it dozens of times while tweaking it... and I usually hate watching anything more than once!

[SirRoxen]

@rextinctione I hate you too buddy. I hate you too. :)

[rextinctione]

@SirRoxen

its not necessarily that I hate them but they scare me! especially ever since I witness an accident with one that I was nearly involved! speed then cut around suv when suv moved and touched hit making guy fall off onto median plus bike almost hit me and the guy didnt wear any safety gear! he was bleeding so badly from his head! and when medics came they took off his shirt and I seen he had very bad road rash! I can never get that out of my mind! I was just 17 or 18 at the time!

[RandomnessRICKY]

hey mate, what car do you drive?

[NOVAdashcam]

@RandomnessRICKY A Subaru Legacy GT sedan. Why?

[RandomnessRICKY]

@NOVAdashcam just curious lol. :)

[WeatherWarriordotnet]

@NOVAdashcam Watch out....you must of got him...and now he gonna get ya...LOL..j/k. I got asked that a lot with similar videos.

[fattpieceofcrap]

nice job, fast and to the point. cant help buy laugh at these people

[DrivingandDashcam]

Oh, one thing, if you want to speed up your video, but don't want the motion blur (it's alright if you keep that way), go to:

Render as> Custom> Project> "Video rendering quality", change it to Preview. There you go, no motion blur when it's speeded up!

[NOVAdashcam]

@DrivingandDashcam That's strange... I don't see any motion blur when it's sped up. 

[DrivingandDashcam]

@NOVAdashcam

On sony vegas? Yeah it doesn't show, but once after you render it, it'll show motion blur when speeded up. Strange, yes I know :)

[DrivingandDashcam]

Your videos is fun to watch. Keep it up!
