Using a Spare Tire during Winter Storm

Here's why you shouldn't be driving in a winter storm with a spare tire on the rear of a RWD vehicle. Captured in the Sackville, NS area.

Car pulled out in front of me

Watch this car pull out in front of me, causing me to slam on the brakes. Sorry for the low quality of the video. This driver was either not paying attention, or was thinking that they own the road.

Driver bullies their way ahead in merge

Aggressive idiot driver in a Honda Civic forces their way ahead of me in merge section. If I wasn't a defensive driver, this easily could have ended up in an accident. Why do some people drive like this? It gets them no further ahead, and forces people into dangerous situations. Unfortunately the lighting conditions weren't good enough for the dash-cam to capture the license plate.

The SUV pulled ahead of me, which was fine, and I was in line to pull in behind them. Near the end of the merge area (solid white line), the Honda Civic driver came up from behind and pulled right along side me (out of range of camera). I had to brake in order to avoid a collision.

Car Runs Red Light in Contruction Zone

Car ahead caught running red light at temporary construction zone on Highway 101.

Two Separate Vehicles Caught Passing Illegally on the Same Morning

A car passes me illegally while approaching a blind corner in the below video.

Below, an SUV passes a truck up ahead of me, using a turning lane.

Van Dangerously Passes at End of Merge

A driver in a red van passed a length of cars at the end of a merge on the 101 highway. Luckily the driver of the car ahead of me sees the van approaching from behind and slows down to avoid an accident. Who knows what the outcome would have been if driver of the car kept going at their initial speed. Hats off to the driver of the car, great defensive driving.

Dropping Lit Cigarette while Extreme Forest Fire Risk

The driver of this black Civic drops a lit cigarette out the window. The forest fire index at this time (Aug 10/16) was extreme risk. Real smart...

Mustang Driver Clearly Speeding

Captured the driver of this blue Ford Mustang going well over the speed limit. Smart.... seeing how there are many police cars in this area with the station just being a few hundred feet away.

Illegal Turn

As you can see from the below video, I pull into the turning lane, waiting for a break in the opposing traffic, while a car waits at a stop sign at the road I am waiting to turn into. Suddenly, the impatient driver at the stop sign pulls through in front of me, making an illegal turn. Idiot drivers like this really "grind my gears".

Drivers Not Using Blinkers

The video below doesn't fully capture everything, however the white car driving ahead of me pulls up to the stop sign while hugging the yellow line (as if to go straight or turn left). They do not have a blinker on. I am wanting to turn right, so I start to pull up alongside the car with my right turning signal on (as there is space). Suddenly the white car ahead turns right, luckily I hadn't quite reached the stopping point. Do some drivers not understand the purpose of using blinkers?!?!

Illegal Pass on Blind Corner

Driver illegally passed me on a blind corner. I don't see the sense behind driving like this. This is a busy road and traffic could easily be coming in the opposite direction.

Idiot Driver Wants Attention

Driver of a 1/4 ton truck pulls out in front of me and lays strip of rubber. Fortunately I was already slowing down to turn into a gas station. They definitely got attention; they made it onto this blog!

Intersection Collision

Aftermath of an intersection collision. It looks like the Hyundai turned into the path of the oncoming Nissan. Not sure who had the right-of-way at the time.

Odd Driving Behaviour

Not sure what this driver was thinking...

Another Accident on Hammonds Plains Road

Another rush-hour accident on Hammonds Plains Rd yesterday:

Drive-by video of accident aftermath, which occurred near afternoon rush hour. No details on what happened. The car's front was quite beat-up.

A Couple Drivers Who Nearly Caused Accidents

This van driver ignores the stop sign that they have. Luckily I was turning right:

This SUV driver cuts off a car coming in the opposite direction:

New Blog & First Videos

I've started this blog to show unsafe and poorly skilled drivers that I've captured on my dash-cam, mainly in the Halifax area. Many of us have been a victim to poor or dangerous driving, including myself. Best bet to not be captured on video is to drive safely! Here are a couple videos to start off with:

This car pulls into the opposing lane to turn left:

This bus was cutting corners and drifting over the centre lane:
