If there’s one car accessory that has soared in popularity recently, it’s the dashcam. A dashcam – short for dashboard camera – allows drivers to record everything that’s happening in front of them when they’re on the road. That’s not particularly exciting, but it can certainly be of use in case there’s an accident and to figure out who made a mistake.
The YouTube channel FailArmy is known to create compilations of videos that are often funny, exciting or just downright absolutely surprising and stunning. Their video aptly titled Ultimate Dash Cam Fails shows you why you should always drive carefully in traffic.
Even at the most unexpected moments, danger can come luring in from all directions. One of the first images, for example, is just a group of people standing a couple of feet away from a car – but a dashcam from a parked car shows how lucky they’ve been when they’ve just slightly avoided a crash with an out-of-control car.
On the road, it’s pretty difficult to imagine that anything can truly happen – ghost riders, wheels that suddenly fly right off the car or a traffic situation that goes from bad to much worse. Another piece of footage captured showed a driver on the speedway just cruising around when another vehicle came driving in from the right side hill.
Or how about a piece of the road that literally seems to explode right underneath where you’re driving? If this wasn’t captured by a dash cam, you probably wouldn’t believe it was real.
Luckily, not all of this captured footage contains accidents that might’ve caused severe injury, and it doesn’t always have to involve cars either. In one of the small clips, you can clearly see a motorcyclist struggling to slow down after which he somewhat gracefully falls to the ground.
One man is also seen noticing a white cat that runs right underneath a car, but then luckily succeeds in getting the little feline animal out of there before any accidents occur.
In this compilation video, some people were extremely, extremely lucky. Some of these accidents would’ve had a much worse ending if not for the split-second reactions and instincts of the victims.
With over nine million views, this compilation video certainly shows why dashboard cameras can be useful and are worth every penny of their asking price. Be sure to check out more of the clips in the video below.
