    I’m both equal parts disappointed and relieved that I can never recognise the streets in these videos.

      You would recognise these streets if you lived in Newcastle. I think there were two (deffo at least one) Newcastle scenes in this month’s video. Newy normally gets one, but I’ve seen a few more than that before! Really bats above its weight considering its only 11th by population.

      I’ve recognised a few locations over the years and it definitely adds a bit of interest to a clip, though the downside is that you know the bad drivers are on roads near you…

        I recognised a location from one of the crash compilations once. I just had to send it to a friend, as it was the exact same circumstances (including the intersection) as an accident he was in 5 years earlier. There are a couple of give way signs in North Kellyville that people love to fly through.

        A month or two ago I sent one to my family because there some footage from a town up near where they live.

        Then there’s the occasional road I recognise, but generally because it’s a major road in Sydney like Victoria Road or Warringah Road. Or the time that someone did a u-turn on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

        I only remember one Tasmanian clip and that was just roadrage vs a pedestrian that was trying to cross a 4-lane stroad.

    Impressive Isuzu nimbleness @7:12, squeezing and evading. I heard that the freezer truck delivery companies were going bust, perhaps they were not hitting delivery time goals to get to Woolies?

      Those little trucks are actually surprisingly maneuverable. One would not be my first choice for a police chase though as while they will eventually go faster than a bicycle cop you’re not going to have much chance once anything else comes along.

    Most of the time people are doing crazy things around truckies, but this one has a couple of truckies doing crazy things too.

    I still get stressed watching these. Be careful out there, everyone.
