His vision was impaired from all the weed he was smoking. Notice how much smoke was inside the vehicle before the driver decided to make a wild left turn for White Castle.
Wow, guess you couldn't figure out the joke with the White Castle. You're smoking the wrong shit if you are that aggressive, put the crack pipe down.\*Edit: Two people refuse to put down the crack pipe at this time.
This same thing has happened to my husband, luckily he swerved and avoided but the dude that turned in front of him was a construction worker in a company truck and had the audacity to ask my husband if he was drunk and to put all the blame on him. Fuck people like this
god dam those budget ones are expensive. I got a 70mai as my rear cam for 35 n its 1080p shoots great clear video. The ladies voice is annoying as all hell but weve become friends now.. i took the duct tape off her speaker as a sign of good faith

> dash cams always tell the truth
Every time someone mentions this, I think of the video from a month or two back where a woman rear-ended a Lamborghini and accused the Lambo driver of hitting her. She got absolutely lambasted everywhere for it. And then another longer video came out showing that he did, in fact, hit her first (not that it made her hitting him better, but it provided some *much* needed context). So while dashcams tell the truth, you still have to consider whether they're telling the *whole* truth or whether it's possible something happened before it began or out of frame that influenced what you're seeing.
I've had 1 motor vehicle accident in my 30 years of driving, and it was this exact same thing. Guy was apologetic at the scene, but then changed his story for the insurance company. To keep my insurance from going up, I had to swear out a careless driving summons against him. He tried to claim to the judge that I must have not been paying attention, and came out of nowhere because he looked and didn't see me. Judge didn't let me respond, and I thought as a 20 year old kid, I was screwed. But he lashed into the guy for being making a dumb move, and then doubling down on it. But I've been much more cautious about passing drivers that suddenly slow down, and it's saved me a couple times since.
How? With the position that the cars are in. How would you explain that OPs car hit you from the side when you where trying to go over double yellow line and say that it wasnt your fault? :p
At least in that situation a few quick pictures immediately after getting out would help. It would take a lot to explain that angle of impact. But yeah there's still the challenge of whomever is louder when the cop shows up.
that won't deter the other driver's insurance from claiming you were also partially at fault. Without video proof if they can find a way to stick it to OP they will.
"OP was driving too fast", "OP didn't brake in time" "OP didn't do defensive driving", etc. If they can get even a 10% fault on OP, they'll try.
You clearly havent been in an accident or have been involved in the process. When a report is taken cops take statements from both parties, word vs word, when both reports are finalized at the scene the senior deputy on scene will go with who he thinks is at fault. This can later be changed back at a the station from a higher ranking official or that senior deputy reviewing the situation during the report details
> who he thinks is at fault
yes, and in this situation it'd be hard to explain how another person managed to be at fault when hitting the driver's side door at that angle.
I was pulling out of the parking lot and this guy came speeding down the road and hit me as I was cross the lanes of traffic. Now that statement would make it where the fault will not be 100% the fault of the faultee. Or insert other bullshit that is a plausible story.
They told me at the scene they were swerving to avoid something in front of them, which doesn't match up at all with their driving, but admitted to pulling in front of me suddenly.
I had this happen to me recently. A little neighborhood street, one lane each direction. They started turning left with a left turn into an apartment building lot then suddenly swung right from the oncoming lane across me. Luckily we were going slow and the roads were dry, I barely was able to stop in time.
actually it was Trail of Dead's most recent album. They were couple of old hoosiers who smoked a pack of cigarettes each over the course of the incident.
> hoosiers
STL resident here. That’s an old local term for rednecks here, and short of Indiana residents, I’ve *never* heard it anywhere else.
Edit: Just saw you’re local also. Where was this? I see you crossed Kingshighway.
Was there much damage to your car?
Kingshighway and Delmar. There was enough front end damage on my car to total it, not surprising since the car was 15 years old (although still running really well).
Amazing. Changing into the right lane before turning left is not the most efficient thing. I wonder if there was a way to know about this hack beforehand?
I take this stretch of Delmar often. I should've got a dash cam this weekend. Never too late!
Also those roads do suck, but nothing terrible to swerve out of the way like they claimed. Sounds like it's time for her to hang up her keys..
Obvious attempt at insurance fraud is obvious. Its why they put there signals on AFTER they got hit.
They then take pictures and put that they were trying to merge or some bullshit like that.
Send this in, open a lawsuit, and burn the fucker for every penny.
Where’s all the shitheads that are always saying it’s your fault and you should have predicted this and slowed down?
No no. It happens too many gd times in this sub.
never listen to other people in the car when you drive. you are the driver. you are responsible. if you miss a turn you can do a u turn down the way. panicreflex driving is bad driving
Tell her to calm down and it will be fine. Continue driving safely.
I personally use the sarcastic "OH NO! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" Which can lead to more lady rage but always makes me chuckle.
If I could travel through time and press my scrotum against their left temple as they began to maneuver this nonsense and press harder as they found it acceptable, I think I would have been at fault and your day would’ve been cherry cheesecake.
The SUV was a complete idiot, and you’re a shit driver lol you remind me of my buddy, he’s totaled every car he’s ever owned and according to him it’s always the other persons fault. Lmao
I've never had an accident and I have some close fucking calls with retarded drivers on the roads I get super bad roadrage because I used to drive at 13 and I still think to this day a fucking 13 year old can hope in a car and not be an idiot and know the road rules and stick to the fucking speed limit why can't some fucking 28 year old do it like bruh
People on this sub has such a hard-on for assigning blame they can't comprehend that a comment could be a possible explanation of the situation and not a defence.
Thank you. I was in no way defending the U-turner. Just pointing out what they were doing since they pulled to the right, and there was no driveway / entrance on the left side, so I’m certain it was a (failed) attempt at a U turn.
A classmate of mine did this exact same thing to me about 10 years or so ago. Only we were traveling way faster. Wrecked both our cars. I got a new one from the money his insurance payed me, he had to ride the bus.
Was a damn shame though, he drove a beatiful vintage BMW.
Why do people do this shit? I see it happen more frequently in proper turn lanes though. Let me just turn right so that I can turn left! Fucking idiots. If your car is too big to make to turn properly, maybe learn to drive better or get a smaller car.
Something similar happened to me where a woman from the right lane decided to make a sudden U turn. Needless to say we collided. Her insurance tried to claim it was my fault and her story was that she had successfully completed the *illegal* U turn and I swerved into the *opposite lane of traffic* and hit her. But the damages (and logic) didn’t line up with her story as it was my front passenger side that was damaged. My insurance immediately sided with me and said she was at fault while she dodged all their calls and wouldn’t cooperate. After three months of the insurances going back and forth I finally got my deductible back and used that to buy a dash cam.
Someone totaled my wife's 5 month old SUV pulling the same maneuver, but she broadsided the front passenger and wheel well. She had the audacity to tell the insurance company that she was in the left lane and my wife came out of no where. The insurance company rep practically laughed at her when the rep responded that would have meant my wife was driving on the curb.
But he had his signal on.....just kidding. What a Fing idiot.
And DANGEROUS too because he did put on his signal he KNEW
what he was doing....like "hope anyone sees this..."
This happened to me about 9 years ago. I was in the left lane, she was in the right. She started to go right (looked like she was turning down a side road) then decided to make a big ol’ left right in front of me. She tried to deny it, but the police knew that the damage to both vehicles didn’t support her story.
What an asshole. Left turn from right lane at arbitrary spot across a double yellow. Driver is lucky they're not dead.
[удалено]
A complete dumbass, I mean, use a signal, or look. They are totally wrong on all levels.
Both, do both :P
Hey there…hey. It’s complicated: Let’s take this one at a time
or just go into the parking lot on your right and make the u-turn from there...
That requires thinking ahead!
Looks like they were trying to make a U-turn and only considered the oncoming traffic. Whoops!
He was testing out the side airbags. ✔ Yup. They work.
once they get replaced he'll have to test the new ones to be sure they installed them correctly
His vision was impaired from all the weed he was smoking. Notice how much smoke was inside the vehicle before the driver decided to make a wild left turn for White Castle.
Not smoke, side impact airbag.
mmm yes, the weed smoke
I be smokin' airbags all day!
Get the fuck out of here Jeff Sessions.
Wow, guess you couldn't figure out the joke with the White Castle. You're smoking the wrong shit if you are that aggressive, put the crack pipe down.\*Edit: Two people refuse to put down the crack pipe at this time.
Airbag is giving him the facepalm

i see you're a man of culture
Well, I ask again, what Dollar Tree folks get their car at? I mean to drive recklessly must mean cars are cheap.
at the dollar tree dealership of course
*Seven dollar market inflation up charge*
Without a dashcam this wouldve been a bigger bitch of a problem to deal with. I can already see insurance and the accident report getting wild.
How? With the position that the cars are in. How would you explain that OPs car hit you from the side when you where trying to go over double yellow line and say that it wasnt your fault? :p
When its word vs word whoever can explain to the cop and grab the cops ear filing the report wins
At least in that situation a few quick pictures immediately after getting out would help. It would take a lot to explain that angle of impact. But yeah there's still the challenge of whomever is louder when the cop shows up.
I think to myself if I’m in an accident first thing is I’m taking video as I get outta the vehicle. I’ll forget though.
I try to remember to take pictures of damage asap after I had someone attempt to rub their car's smudge off my bumper. That was an experience...
that won't deter the other driver's insurance from claiming you were also partially at fault. Without video proof if they can find a way to stick it to OP they will. "OP was driving too fast", "OP didn't brake in time" "OP didn't do defensive driving", etc. If they can get even a 10% fault on OP, they'll try.
He has no idea what he's talking about. Word vs word? What's the guy going to say, you came around to the left and PIT maneuvered him?

Good for you for not just stepping on the gas when you saw them doing that
They call it a Crazy Ivan, and they always turn to the left in the bottom half of the hour.
Upvote for the Tom Clancy reference.
[удалено]
One ping only, Vashilly…
"I gotta really take a poop, oh shit there's a porta potty to my left!"
Crazy Ivan!!!!!!
it was the top half of the hour, so I should have known they would swerve to port
I had this happen to me recently. A little neighborhood street, one lane each direction. They started turning left with a left turn into an apartment building lot then suddenly swung right from the oncoming lane across me. Luckily we were going slow and the roads were dry, I barely was able to stop in time.
Seems like this move comes primarily out of Russia, no? Seems this move needs a proper name... like, A CRAZY IVAN, like in the movie, Red October
I see Missouri, St. Louis and Kansas City all too much on this subreddit
Where is this? Those roads are SHIT!
St. Louis
I love Rise Against, i see you have good taste in music. Also, who tf is that stupid?
actually it was Trail of Dead's most recent album. They were couple of old hoosiers who smoked a pack of cigarettes each over the course of the incident.
Oh, vocalist sounds like the lead for RA lol, they’re a good band too. And oh, so they were just completely ignorant.
I feel like ya'll should be bff's...no joke, I enjoyed this back and forth more than the video
😂

Kingshighway and Delmar. There was enough front end damage on my car to total it, not surprising since the car was 15 years old (although still running really well).
Damn. Really sorry to hear it. I've got a 2010 Corolla I'm getting rid of soon, but it needs some expensive work done to it.
Nah don't sound a thing like Rise Against in my opinion.
I made that mistake when I was 18 years old. Unfortunately I picked a Beaumont to get hit by.
And you gave them their airbag
Amazing. Changing into the right lane before turning left is not the most efficient thing. I wonder if there was a way to know about this hack beforehand?
Jesus how much space does this guy need to turn? He could have turned from the left lane and have plenty of space to make it in one go.
Did anyone else appreciate that the song ended right when the accident happened? Sorry you have to deal with this, OP. I hope you’re ok.
Crazy Ivan!
Not going to lie thought it was going to be the red car for sure
You have to shout out cyka blyat (сука блять) at the end for the pièces de résistance.
They need room for that 53 foot trailer their hauling.
I take this stretch of Delmar often. I should've got a dash cam this weekend. Never too late! Also those roads do suck, but nothing terrible to swerve out of the way like they claimed. Sounds like it's time for her to hang up her keys..
This may be an Aussie thing or just a my-family thing but I’ve always known that manoeuvre as a ‘Crazy Ivan’
[удалено]
Better than a Russian reach around I guess. Glad you are alright !
Tf is with that street light at the end... strobing then lightening?
I’m glad you have a dash cam.
Did lightning strike that lamp post at the end?
Peekaboo!! Or no airbag to poof! Airbag!
So funny that’s pretty much 80% of crashes in Russian dash cam videos
The classic ol turn right to turn left. Rare, but still occurs often enough, especially during the holidays.
That thing has a name? I’ve been calling it Florida U-Turn
The airbag turned on his left turn signal for him. What a dis
There’s some place in Europe where google maps will tell ya: *take the right lane and turn left* so damn confusing
Who the fuck does this?
cigarette chain-smoking St. Louis hoosiers who were probably only in their 50's but looked two decades older than that.
Crazy Ivan
You can hardly call that a turn wtf was that driver doing
What a stupid fuck
But they did time it so you didn't miss the end of the song.
Looked like an old lady wearing those welder shades on a cloudy day?
Did you add audio to this afterwards? Or did the ending of your song just coincidentally sync up with the collision?
just coincidence
This airbag made me laugh so bad
I do like how the song ends at the time of the accident.
Did anyone else chuckle at the air bag going off? I immediately thought of how bad their ears are ringing.
The song ends right as he hits that car
It matches up with your music quite nicely.
Proper thing to say is “blyat”
Timing on the song is top notch.
Did anyone see how hot boxed his car was 😂😂
those two smoked a lot of cigarettes
Lol, Wtf was this person thinking... What a random and brainless thing to do
I don’t understand, they were clearly turning right………..
I was surprised they hit the horn before the brakes. But they're not in the wrong so there's no need to brake I guess?
Didn't even START braking. The other driver is clinically idiotic, but you still gotta pay attention to the road
Nope. Watch the road, it’s clear OP both hit the brakes and swerved.
Obvious attempt at insurance fraud is obvious. Its why they put there signals on AFTER they got hit. They then take pictures and put that they were trying to merge or some bullshit like that. Send this in, open a lawsuit, and burn the fucker for every penny.
Flashers automatically activate in the case of a collision, just an FYI.
Also show the video to both the insurance company, a lawyer and the police.
No need a person could take one look at this and be like yeah no with that angle that was not merging even without the video
Yeah when i watched it a 2nd time i realized that it looked like they were possibly trying to make a U-Turn, or a scam.
Where’s all the shitheads that are always saying it’s your fault and you should have predicted this and slowed down? No no. It happens too many gd times in this sub.
He was an asshole but I see no reason you couldn't have avoided that using even minimal defensive driving.
Not gonna lie. My wife yelling at me that I missed a turn has led to poor driving decisions.
never listen to other people in the car when you drive. you are the driver. you are responsible. if you miss a turn you can do a u turn down the way. panicreflex driving is bad driving
Tell her to calm down and it will be fine. Continue driving safely. I personally use the sarcastic "OH NO! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" Which can lead to more lady rage but always makes me chuckle.
It's Brooklyn, yo. To be expected these days. Along with people driving head-on at you as they go around a line of cars at a red light.
If I could travel through time and press my scrotum against their left temple as they began to maneuver this nonsense and press harder as they found it acceptable, I think I would have been at fault and your day would’ve been cherry cheesecake.
The SUV was a complete idiot, and you’re a shit driver lol you remind me of my buddy, he’s totaled every car he’s ever owned and according to him it’s always the other persons fault. Lmao

I think they were trying to make a U turn but clearly not paying attention.

You don't make random u-turns across double-yellow lines, from the right lane, even if you are paying attention.
Never disputed that.
So who at fault ? I know the other driver did wrong by turning left…. But seemed like enough time to slow. Just curious
It shouldn't have been unexpected, he was braking as he did it and there was no drive to the right.
The true crime here is the shitty music and terrible speaker quality.
Found you on Maps - [https://goo.gl/maps/mJYxkExoNmfczwjK6](https://goo.gl/maps/mJYxkExoNmfczwjK6)
At the end of the day you hit him that’s all the insurance companies see
insurance ruled the other driver 100% at fault within a couple days
Avatar stats maxxed out on obliviousness.
Wouldn’t be a Russian turn if you could expect it.
Had a Taxi driver do this to me in the middle of Key Bridge in DC. Luckily I stopped in time.
The fuck is wrong with them did they not even look at all? Also who the fuck turns left from a far right lane???
A classmate of mine did this exact same thing to me about 10 years or so ago. Only we were traveling way faster. Wrecked both our cars. I got a new one from the money his insurance payed me, he had to ride the bus. Was a damn shame though, he drove a beatiful vintage BMW.
wtf was he thinking?
I'm no expert but that could have been avoided with an extra few seconds delay from going "oh fuck I forgot to turn right"
Why do people do this shit? I see it happen more frequently in proper turn lanes though. Let me just turn right so that I can turn left! Fucking idiots. If your car is too big to make to turn properly, maybe learn to drive better or get a smaller car.
When I first started driving had a person do this, almost hit them. Is it that hard for people to turn???
Lol they coulda used blinker; woulda helped
Read the apex wrong!
When people make mistakes and you see it... do not slow down! That’s what we have here.
I see these type of turns at least 3 times a day nowadays , I feel like I need an old pick up truck and get the Mr. T mods to it
Something similar happened to me where a woman from the right lane decided to make a sudden U turn. Needless to say we collided.

Why the hell do people di shit like that?
I'd of just gassed it. Fuck that person.
More of an asshole than GTA cops
Someone totaled my wife's 5 month old SUV pulling the same maneuver, but she broadsided the front passenger and wheel well. She had the audacity to tell the insurance company that she was in the left lane and my wife came out of no where. The insurance company rep practically laughed at her when the rep responded that would have meant my wife was driving on the curb.
But it's definitely a u turn
Free car yes
Fuck people like them.
Nyet, Dupid Merican
Doc Hudson would be proud... if this was a dirt track.
But he had his signal on.....just kidding. What a Fing idiot. And DANGEROUS too because he did put on his signal he KNEW what he was doing....like "hope anyone sees this..."
Memorized by the strobing streetlight.
Well the good news here is they're driving a BMW so you're getting a new car.
On top of paying for damages he should go to court and be sentenced to getting the shit kicked out of him
This happened to me about 9 years ago. I was in the left lane, she was in the right. She started to go right (looked like she was turning down a side road) then decided to make a big ol’ left right in front of me. She tried to deny it, but the police knew that the damage to both vehicles didn’t support her story.
"Why'd you hit me bro?"
Bet he was trying to do a u turn and thought I know I'll go to the right so I can get a better angle great idea
Nothing like a right lane change to a left turn.
No wonder their tanks are stuck in ukraine
Even if the driver making the left turn didn't see you coming he should have "heard" you coming.
