Happy Sunday all….

It seems to be a slow day, so I thought I'd try stir up some conversation about this "interesting" dashcam video I came across this morning.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZiBGMqy3-U

In the video, there seems to be a slight collision where the vehicles are side by side and it appears the mirrors have knocked each other. There's a mix of broken road rules and (lack of) common sense and courtesy. In my opinion, the situation and the "collision" could have easily been avoided.

So my question for everyone is… who do you think is more in the wrong?

Edit: 07/07/2021 10:45: I probably didn't make it clear in the post, but the video is not mine and that guy with the man-boobs is not me.

    Dashcam owner is also wrong due to the loud music playing from damaged speakers.
    Technically the case may be unroadworthy, he is driving distracted and he has poor taste, so definitely deserves a ticket.

    The blue car is wrong because of obvious shitty driving skills and a general lack of courtesy.

    Blue car is 100% at fault however it was easily avoidable by the DC driver. DC driver chose to let an idiot invade their space instead of giving them room. So despite being in the right, now they have to explain to their insurance what happened, ensure their NCB is intact, out of their own car for a a couple of week in the name of being in the right.

    We often say this in our flight school. "There is no use being right and dead, be courteous and avoid idiot." I drive with that attitude 100% of the time.

    Obviously the blue car was in the wrong but it was a dick move by the car with the dashcam not slowing down to avoid it.

    Only last month I avoided a collision like that when a car swayed into my lane twice without even indicating. I slowed down, honked and the driver immediately straightened up her car the second time. I assumed that she was microsleeping so I drove passed her quickly not taking the chance of a 3rd time.

  • JungliChilli on 06/07/2021 - 08:02

    What the heck is wrong with the DC driver? Has DC with the blue car parked directly in front of them and still wants to take a pic?? Putting themself in a bad situation. If they wanted they could have taken a pic from inside the car? But nah gotta do the human zoom to get every little detail of the licence plate ey.

    Ceebs

    • cashews on 08/07/2021 - 07:03

      They want to make sure that they get the number plate. They probably didn't think the driver would try to attack them.

      That too and they'd just been involved in a traffic incident. I was rear ended by a car about 12 months ago, I didn't really think straight until the adrenaline wore off.

    While I agree that the DC driver could have taken steps to avoid blue car fool, this is what I despise about claims assessors attributing contributory negligence to someone like the DC driver - I believe the blue car driver should be attributed 100% of the blame here since if it wasn't for his stupid actions in the first place, none of the rest of it would have happened.

    • bobbified on 06/07/2021 - 09:16

      The point of contention here is whether the DC driver simply did nothing or did she intentionally drive side by side and block the the driver of the blue car knowing that he was wanting to change lanes. Some people will think she was "just driving" and some watch the video and think that she intentionally put herself in that position because she was being stubborn. So depending on how you look at it - If she was simply "just driving", then it's not sufficient cause for contributory negligence. If it's found that she intentionally drove side by side to block him (which is what I think), then contributory negligence is likely. However, with just the video alone, we're never going to know which it really was - hence I thought it as an interesting video to share.

      If you hate claims assessors, then you'd probably be pissed to know that if someone ran out onto the road and you hit them, you're likely to be found "at fault"? The onus of proof is almost the other way around here - you almost need to prove that you had done everything you could to avoid hitting them. And then after you think you've done everything, they'll tell you something along the lines of "well, there are houses around here and you should've expected that there might be people around and slowed down".

      I don't agree with the example involving a pedestrian above, but the decisions aren't based purely on our own opinions - we have to take into account whether the decision is likely to stand up in court.

        You're thinking like the assessor you were. IMO, I don't think it should matter if it was a deliberate block or not. It wouldn't have happened at all if it wasn't for blue car's actions - hence, 100% on him.

        • bobbified on 06/07/2021 - 09:30

          It wouldn't have happened at all if it wasn't for blue car's actions - hence, 100% on him.

          So just for argument's sake, if you were reversing out of a driveway and you had the back sticking out a bit - a car comes around and sees you blocking the road and deliberately hits you. Who's fault would it be? Or if you accidently ran a red light and another driver got pissed off and deliberately rammed you, who should be liable for the damage?

          • Frank Murphy on 06/07/2021 - 09:39

            @bobbified: If both of the other drivers were just holding their line of direction, then I'm liable - in both instances. Neither would have occurred otherwise. If they deliberately change direction to swerve into me, that's another matter.

              @Frank Murphy: I think this is going to be where we can't agree.

              A driver has a responsibility to take action to avoid a collision where it's possible. And that applies even if they haven't done anything wrong. You can't simply keep going and plough into another car just because they've done the wrong thing regardless of whether you're just holding your line of direction. If someone can avoid a collision, but they take no action because they think they haven't done anything wrong, they could be up for some pretty serious charges if there are injuries or death as a result of the avoidable collision.

              • Frank Murphy on 06/07/2021 - 10:36

                @bobbified: I think you misunderstand - I agree with almost everything you have said. All I'm referring to is who is liable for the damages in a bingle such as this. And quite frankly, If there is ANY doubt about the intentions, or otherwise, of the DC driver, then they shouldn't be apportioned any of the blame whatsoever. I can see that the blue car had, for a split second just prior to the collision, slightly changed direction back into his own lane before continuing his stupidity. It's at this point she may have believed it was fine to maintain her line of direction.

                • bobbified on 06/07/2021 - 22:54

                  This, you're right and I agree.

                  After watching that short video, I think the opinion on whether it was deliberate or not by the DC driver is dependant on our own experiences and this is the part we're not going to agree on. There's no right or wrong because that video is all we have to go by right here and that is the reason I thought it would be an interesting one to discuss.

          • lint on 07/07/2021 - 10:10

            @bobbified: In all those circumstances, it would be your fault. The other driver would have contributed to the crash by not taking action to avoid it, but they're not technically liable.

            Many insurance claim forms now ask what actions you performed to try avoid the accident where you're not at fault, so maybe they're trying to discourage people from deliberately creating accidents that could've been avoided..

            • bobbified on 07/07/2021 - 10:34

    Easier to avoid an accident then to cause one. I'd say both are idiots.

    Blue car is in the wrong - white car could have avoided this accident easy, and by letting him in (who really cares if it takes a couple of seconds longer), blue car could have been an alcoholic or a druggy, or perhaps an unregistered or even a stolen car.

    Now the police are there taking time to see who's right and wrong, why would anyone want that?

      Looking at the footage, I somewhat concur.

      They were both hesitant. Blue and white kept playing chicken with each other, not one of them backed down. But ultimately blue @ fault.

      Also blue merged through an unbroken line.

      Happy to let you sacrifice your time and car to teach them a lesson.

      They may be in the wrong and you may not have to pay for anything immediately, but you'd have to

      1. Waste your time going through all the insurance claim process
      2. Potentially be found at-fault if the other driver lies about what actually happened (which happens much more than it should!)
      3. Get your car fixed
      4. Potentially not have a car for a while
      5. Potentially go back and forth and argue if the dodgey smash repairers don't do a good job
      6. Suffer a reduction in the value of your car
      7. Possibly have an increase in your insurance premiums for a few years.

      Is it really worth it?

      • Herbse on 06/07/2021 - 10:38

        Definitely. I do what the dashcam driver did constantly. My car is a POS and the people who don't pay attention generally have much nicer cars.
        It would be hard for the idiot in the video to claim it was anyone's fault but his own, plus there's dashcam footage. Everyone should have a dashcam these days, if not then I pity them.

        I also park really close to people who park over the lines in car parks so they can't get into their car. If people are doing illegal 3 point turns where they shouldn't, I don't reverse and give them the room they need to get out easily. When people try to cross over double solid lines to get ahead in traffic at red lights, I manoeuver so that I block them and they're stuck where they shouldn't be, but I'm in a legal area just being a dick.

        I'm sick of people getting away with breaking the law and risking lives and the more they get away with it, the more they do it.
        The police should accept dashcam footage which clearly shows number plates as evidence to fine drivers. Imagine a world where everyone could submit their videos and drivers get penalised when there's no cops around. We wouldn't get half the shit we see on YouTube and everyone would be much safer.

          My mate does this all the time and it annoys the crap out of me. I tell him that we can't control how others react and they might go nuts and ram you or something. There's a lot of crazy people out there that have major anger management issues. You just have to watch some of the road rage videos to see. Some people even ram cop cars so they would have no hesitation doing it to you! I'd rather not unnecessarily put myself and my passengers in that position. Nice car or not, it can easily be replaced. It's the potential for serious injury or death that I think about.

    Obviously the blue one is at fault for not checking his dead angle. White could have slowed down, but was in his lane all the time.

    What is hilarious about this video, is that it is a pure definition of an instant karma. During any type of car accidents, being calm and courteous with one another goes a long mile - makes details exchange a lot easier, and ruffles less feathers.

    As a side note - the blue car driver has obviously never thrown a punch in his life, considering that raised fist and a waddling charge ;)

    From the footage, what I can tell (as others have said) - Blue…
    Worth looking at:
    "148 - Giving way when moving from one lane or line of traffic to another marked lane or line of traffic"
    https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/road-r…

    I'd imagine the blue people gave the guy in the blue car a ticket, not only for the attempted merge but also for blocking traffic with the park half in the lane, but also for the physical threat.

    Then again, maybe just having a bad day and he snapped. Perhaps the blue people understood and calmed him down and all was well. He may have a mental health issue with a reaction like that. Not sure…

    Ive also noted that pretty much any car with a dashcam, the driver is completely clueless. My theory is they know their shit drivers, so they get a dashcam, because the chance of them getting into an accident is so high. This video further proves that theory.

      Well they both are idiots, just the Blue car driver is so much worse.

      Well, most people don't seem to think the DC driver did anything wrong. IMO (but I can't say for certain), it appears as though she intentionally pulled alongside and slowed side-by-side to block the car from moving across.

        yup, I get the feeling she was in a hurry and felt the blue car was slow so quickly went to the other lane to overtake and when she saw the blue car turning in, she didnt want him ahead of her again and so tried to stop him thinking he will see her and back away. And thats how the accident occured.

    DC driver is wrong for the music, but blue car is wrong for his limp wrist and aggression.

    In terms of driving though, blue car, duh.

  • Cletus vandamme on 07/07/2021 - 08:40

    Blue car is at fault legally 100%. However whilst driving you need to account for the inept morons on the road and need to be cautious for shenanigans such as this. The DC driver should of been paying attention too, the car had clearly signalled and despite being in the wrong to turn should of seen they were doing it anyway and slowed down.

  • payless69 on 07/07/2021 - 10:01

    OMG, when the camera came out ! Usual country mentality.

  • RolandWaites on 07/07/2021 - 11:02

    Obviosly blue. The camera driver could've done more to avoid the crash, sure, but it isnt their responsibility. It's the blue car driver's job to ensure there's a safe distance when changing lanes.

      In Victoria that only applies to roads with unmarked lanes. This isn't AfWelshistan.

  • keejoonc on 07/07/2021 - 11:30

    It astounds me how majority of drivers these days seem to have zero clue about what solid white line means.

  • lonewolf on 07/07/2021 - 11:33

    Blue car doesnt have right of way but he definitely started turning in well in advance where the other car should have seen it and slowed down, maybe beeped and seen if the blue car continued to turn in or went back to his side of the road. They are both at fault and also the dash cam driver seemed to be speeding and moved from behind the blue car to the left lane (possibly to get ahead of the blue car) and i think she had decided to not let the blue car in because she was in a hurry / wanted to get ahead hence why she just continued on.

  • Lockieasy on 07/07/2021 - 12:11

    Blue car at fault for the unsafe merge aswell as crossing the solid line, but the DC driver could've easily avoided the collision too. Personally I would've slowed down slightly to avoid the idiot driving the blue car.

  • Daniel Plainview on 07/07/2021 - 12:54

    This is entry level 101 driving and stuff they ask on the learner test - doesn't matter if you indicate or do whatever you can ONLY change lanes when it is safe to do so. End of story.

    So the blue car has left it late, chucked their indicator on late as well (no where near enough advance time given) and not actually checked their blind spot to see if it's clear.

    Super simple and really can't be argued otherwise.

    PS. And this is yet another example of exactly why it's ESSENTIAL to have a decent dash cam…..as if the at fault Blue car goes to their insurance agent and says, I indicated well in advance and it was safe to change lanes but other party was going too fast it's a tough one to prove.

    Sometimes you'll get lucky and they'll get caught out in their lies but dashcam footage makes this truly open and shut if you're going by the letter of the road rules, which is how they'll administer.

    I'm surprised no one has commented on the end where the 2nd police van blocks all traffic with this major event lol :) .

    • DiscoJango on 07/07/2021 - 15:02

      im surprised that no one commented at how the angry fat nerd jiggles around and then goes to throw the worst punch youve ever seen, hears the cops and tries to run/waddle off

  • Miss B on 07/07/2021 - 16:32

    Options 2 & 3 of the poll are both correct. Driver of the blue vehicle has clearly created multiple accounts and selected option 1 on all of them. Mods, can you ban all of his accounts and prevent him from creating further accounts please?

    Aside from the unsafe lane change by the blue car, the driver then fails to fulfil duties after the crash and further is causing a public nuisance - provided he hasn't assaulted her or damaged her phone.

    If i needed to have a car dent fixed from pre-existing accident, this would have been perfect time for a free fix.

    Blue car 100% wrong. solid white line. Karmic justice at the end.

    Wow. What a tough guy driving with his mum and threatens to punch a woman filming him.
    What a complete knob.

    Had to laugh at him storming out the car to look at the damage.

    Yeah it could have been avoidable. But when I was on my Ps many years ago, I had a senior man do exactly what this person did, but they were right next to me, scared the crap out of me as it was totally unexpected.

    We exchanged details, and he ended up sending me a letter of demand saying it was my fault because he had indicated to change lanes (obviously it was his fault). I let my insurance handle it, and that was that. Hopefully he learned a lesson after that because who knows how else he could have endangered someone.

    Hopefully this person will learn a lesson, but something tells me they won't.

  • fls2k3 on 08/07/2021 - 12:27

    You both are at fault.

    Blue driver was mean and in a hurry to jump the lane. He change the lane before a continuous white line. He did gave the indicator to you for at least 3 sec. I have seen you started to slow down. You can avoid this collusion by giving the way to the blue driver but you didn't and keep on going. This proof you are also mean and wants to teach him a lesson.
    So in short both of you are at fault.

  • roweysvn on 08/07/2021 - 12:55

    Driving: Who's right and who's wrong?

    That's easy, I'm right, everyone else on the road is wrong

    Love the police intervention ( SWAT style )
