Intersection Blocker Causes A Crash & Tried To Get Away With It! (20/04/2026)JWIRL2026-09-30 | Intersection Blocker Causes A Crash & Tried To Get Away With It! (20/04/2026)Bad Drivers in Ireland 2JWIRL2025-07-21 | These are clips from my visit to Ireland 6 years after my last time I was there. Some things I should mention off the bat;
1. Both vehicles are manuals. 2. There are no clips of Dublin (where I was born) because there wasn't any reason to go there. 3. The reason why this video is shorter than my usual videos is because unlike Canada and the U.S., Ireland doesn't really have that many bad drivers (at least outside of Dublin anyways), you do get the odd few bad eggs every once in a while but it doesn't occur very regularly like it does in the Edmonton Area.
With all that being said, I hope you will all enjoy this one!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonaldBad Drivers in Alberta 92 | Desperation.JWIRL2025-06-29 | Apologies for the wait, I left Alberta to visit my parents and family members who I haven't seen in a long time so I had very little time to get this video ready. Also, when I returned home I had a bad case of jet lag which completely messed up my body clock and train of thought. Thankfully, I'm doing a lot better now. You will be expecting a video taking place in a different country (maybe even two).
Intro song: The Process by LAKEY INSPIREDBad Drivers in Alberta 91 | What Youve Been Missing.JWIRL2025-05-08 | This video will include the clips that were supposed to be in the last video which should cover up September 2024 clips. As mentioned, I will be in Ireland in a couple of weeks but I will try to work on the next video when I have the chance.

I don't know why that happened but it certainly set me back. Also, I've made a couple of changes to how I normally do my videos. I will put up a community post in a week or so to explain why I made this change and what's been going on with me this year. Stay tuned!

I've been busy getting Christmas gifts while also spending time with my parents visiting for the holidays which is why it took so long for this video to get out. Another shorter one, with a few oddities.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 88 | What Did I Do?JWIRL2024-11-29 | This video covers the remainder of August. There isn't anything too crazy in this one aside for some oddities. This one was a little rushed because of some midterms and assignments I needed to take care of. The next video will most likely be out around Christmastime. Also, I want to thank you guys for 200 subscribers! :DBad Drivers in Alberta 87 | Unleash the Boneheads!JWIRL2024-10-31 | In this video: Me and my family travel to Canmore yet again! To make one thing clear, I haven't driven around Canmore all too much like I did in 2022 because the hotel we stayed at was in walking distance of the downtown area. Calgarian drivers still suck compared to Edmontonian drivers. The next video will cover the remainder of August, I've compiled all the clips for it I just need to edit them. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 86 | Smashing Hit of the Summer!JWIRL2024-09-29 | I'll have the next one up as soon as I can, just got to deal with midterms alongside editing. A lot of morons in this one. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 85 | Lemmings Season!JWIRL2024-09-02 | A lot of close calls in this one. That's about it.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 84 | Have A Little Patience.JWIRL2024-08-21 | I hope to upload the next one as soon as possible. A lot of impatient drivers in this one. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 83 | Who Even Reads Anymore?JWIRL2024-07-30 | Sorry this took longer to get out, my parents are visiting from Ireland for a few weeks as well as that unbelievable car crash that happened this week. In this episode, people are more clueless than ever is if no knows other people exist around them. Many more to come in the next one.
I will be driving down to Canmore for a family road trip this week so I will try to make some progress on the next video when I find the time!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonaldTerrible Collision!!! (07/22/2024)JWIRL2024-07-26 | I was on my way home from Edmonton when suddenly a black Dodge Ram rear ends a dark green Honda Accord. The driver of the Ram panicked by holding the gas pedal instead of the brakes pushing the Accord and I almost become part of the accident.
At first, I thought the noise was coming from the other side of the road until I looked in my rearview mirror and saw both vehicles headed straight for me. Out of instinct, I moved to left of the lane I was in and just barely missed them by inches (Yes, it was that close in person).
Thankfully, both drivers are fine as far I can tell. This experience, however, truly terrified me considering I was this close to getting into a nasty wreck that could've not only injure me but also my mother (who doesn't drive) in the passenger seat. Not the best way to end a day of mother and son bonding that's for sure!
Location: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.Bad Drivers in Alberta 82 | Do Whatever, Whenever.JWIRL2024-06-13 | I was meant to upload this sooner but I had some things that needed to done. Some crazy clips in this one, including the Porsche Cayenne in thumbnail (obviously). Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 81 | Snow Pokes.JWIRL2024-05-03 | For reasons unknown, people love to drive fast in snowy conditions especially after the fact they almost get themselves killed. But that's why I'm still around. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 80 | Theres a flurry in a hurry!JWIRL2024-03-19 | I hope everybody had a great St. Patricks Day weekend. Here's what I've captured from the tail end of 2023 and the 1st half of January 2024.
Intro song: "Otis McMusic" by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 79 | Driving Home For Christmas...(with no snow)JWIRL2024-02-24 | I couldn't think of a better title so that'll have to do. I never imagined Alberta (let alone Canada in general) having no snow during Christmastime, but I suppose it's better than having a cold snap like last year. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 78 | No Snow?JWIRL2024-01-16 | I hope everybody is having a safe new year with the Arctic Blast (as some people are calling it) passing through between Canada and north of the USA. Thankfully it's starting to die down in the Edmonton Area, but can't say the same for other major cities though. In the meantime, enjoy the video!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 77 | Weird Winter.JWIRL2023-12-25 | Thanks to El Nino, the Greater Edmonton Area is getting much less snow than I'm used to seeing and it's confusing the hell outta me. Possibly for everyone else too. Merry Christmas too all!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 76 | Who Needs Common Sense?JWIRL2023-12-07 | A lot more crazier incidents in this one. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 75 | A Bad Driver NEVER Misses Their Turn.JWIRL2023-11-12 | A lot people can't but force themselves to make a last second decision like their life depends on it. This episode also includes a mini road rage segment. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 74 | Survival of the Dumbest.JWIRL2023-10-30 | You've read the title, can't be more simpler than that.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 73 | Wet n Smokey Summer.JWIRL2023-09-29 | This summer was wild with the non stop wildfires creating major cities looking like they're in the midst of an apocalypse thanks to the smoke covering them up. I can't imagine what to experience this winter. In the meantime, enjoy these idiot drivers! :)
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 72 | Blind As Bats!JWIRL2023-09-10 | Sorry again for the late upload, I got sidetracked. The next one will be up later this week. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 71 | Close, but no Cigar.JWIRL2023-08-06 | Sorry for the late upload, life got in the way once again. It still amazes that in 2023 people are still unaware of how close they're to causing a crash, especially where I live. Enjoy!
Intro Song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 70 | Whats the Rush?JWIRL2023-07-15 | A lot of impatient drivers in this one. Although that's the norm these days.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 69 | Giggity!JWIRL2023-06-17 | Sorry this took longer than necessary, I had things in my personal life that needs taking care of. A lot more stupidity I've encountered around the Edmonton area.

Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis Mcdonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 66 | Dont Stop Me Now!JWIRL2023-05-02 | Here's the next instalment of Bad Drivers in Alberta. More are on the way, I just need to finalize the next one for the following week. Enjoy!
Intro Song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 65 | New Year! New Idiots! New Antics!JWIRL2023-04-19 | Finally found some free time to get this out. Finals are on the Horizon for me so more than likely the next episode will upload in May. Drivers this year so far have hit a newer low (I'm surprised that it was even possible) to the point where traffic laws are a catch-22 to them. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 64 | Christmas Catastrophe!JWIRL2023-03-03 | This the was coldest Christmas the Edmonton area has suffered in 2022. Plenty of accidents caused due to drivers not handling bad road conditions, I almost get into one thanks to one genius. Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 63 | Wrapping Up!JWIRL2023-02-25 | In this episode, we experience the remainder of November 2022. The next one will be insane, trust me on that.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis Mcdonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 62 | Icecapades!JWIRL2023-02-18 | Sorry for the delay, I wanted to get footage from 2022 done before I can release any 2023 footage for future uploads in order to reduce anymore backlog, it's going somewhat OK.
This winter was BRUTAL, accidents have occurred and people struggling to drive on ice. Of course, this video wouldn't be complete without the infamous Male Karen who doesn't understand how ice works.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis MacDonald.Road Rage with Impatient Driver. (01/31/2023)JWIRL2023-02-14 | For those expecting the next "Bad Drivers in Alberta" video: Don't worry, I have two ready to be out in the following week.
I was literally leaving campus when this guy, who apparently had the ability to see through solid objects (I didn't), gets upset with me being cautious when trying to make a left turn. He honks his horn at me (I didn't hear it due to the music being played on the radio) once I found the opportunity to safely turn into the lane closest to me, he went into the other lane.
As I was about to get into right hand lane, I notice him speeding up. So I did the most logical thing to do in a situation like this: cancel my turn signal, let the driver pass, and change lanes after he passed by. But all that did was cause him to lose his mind and swerve left and right behind me, leaving me confused on what he wants me to do, and then gives me the WTF gesture as he drove passed me. I don't know the reason why he changed lanes left and right after he passed me, maybe he was having a bad day.
Location: Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.Unexpected Road Rage! (01/05/2023)JWIRL2023-01-06 | It hasn't been a week and already, I pissed off a snowflake on the road. Driver in a red Chevrolet Cobalt SS was trying to prepare for a turn further up the road and tried to force his way in front of me. I didn't know he was signalling because my driver side A pillar blocked my view of his taillights. Just because the DASHCAM sees it, doesn't mean the DRIVER sees it!!!
After the honk, he gets over but gets spooked by a Peace Officer (who had no idea what was going on) in the lane beside me. The cop was being nice to the driver and giving him room to change lanes. The cop braked hard as I was passing by because he thought the Cobalt driver was turning into the mall on the right. Cobalt driver was so butthurt over the honk he tried to provoke me in front of the cop (to get us both pulled over, I'm guessing), but failed. I didn't even know I upset him that much until I saw him giving me the bird.
Location: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.Bad Drivers in Alberta 61 | Ill Be At The Roundabout...JWIRL2022-12-26 | Trust me this is normal behaviour when people can't figure out how roundabout work, or rotaries, or whatever. Enjoy!
IMPORTANT!!! (Please Read!) I hope everybody has a safe Christmas this year, because here in the Edmonton area it's extremely cold this year. We've had temperatures as low as -37 degrees celsius (-35 degrees Fahrenheit) during the night this week. It's so bad in fact, if you break down and/or get into a nasty crash, you'll be expecting at least a day or two for a tow truck to come help (depending on availability), this was information spread from numerous radio stations in the area. There have been very bad collisions this month, no deaths as far as I know, yet there are drivers that still, despite the conditions, speed, tailgate, cut off other drivers (wether they've used turn signals or not), and not paying attention to traffic in front of them (I almost got rear ended by one such moron, who was following me too closely ON ICEY ROAD CONDITIONS, just the other day).
Please have save Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)Bad Drivers in Alberta 60 | Forgive My Lack of Self Awareness!JWIRL2022-12-09 | I'll be caught up on everything once I'm done with Finals. Hopefully the holidays don't get in the way too much!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonaldTreacherous Winter Collision (11/30/2022)JWIRL2022-12-08 | A Toyota Highlander was attempting to turn left against a red light for the left turn lane. There are a lot of these throughout St. Albert Trail. When the lights for the traffic coming from the right was turning to red, the Highlander turned in front of traffic that still had a green light. The truck driver did all they could do to avoid the collision but made contact with the Highlander.
Embarrassingly, I didn't notice any of this until I reviewed the dash cam footage afterwards. I don't even know how I didn't notice this happening right in front of me, so don't bother asking! I thought this was a hit and run type of situation which is why I didn't go when it turned green.
A firefighter got out of their fire truck to speak to the Highlander driver and calmed her down. Confused by the whole situation, I asked the firefighter what had happened, she informed me on what happened, then I went on my way.
Location: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.Bad Drivers in Alberta 59 | The Impatience Is Strong.JWIRL2022-11-18 | People really hate to be inconvenienced by minor things when comes to being on the road. It can't be helped with these drivers when dealing with traffic on a daily basis, but what are you going to do about it? Enjoy!
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Road Rage Encounter with a Male Karen! (11/09/2022)JWIRL2022-11-11 | I've never encountered a Karen before until this day when a driver who wasn't too familiar with St. Albert (he was driving a rental car) wanted to change lanes right in front of me. I guess he never expected anyone to refuse to let him over or he always had the mindset of expecting kindness from others when on the road (I wouldn't, trust me). But he was too close to me in order to make a safe lane change, so I refused to let him over.
FYI: Changing lanes and merging are the NOT the same thing, they're similar in concept, but they don't quite work the same way as some people are lead to believe. It's a kind gesture to let someone over when they're changing lanes, but you're not required to by law. When merging, for sure. The exceptions to this is if that lane is ending and/or closed off due construction, broken down car, car crash, etc. Neither of which was the case here!
He honks at me (which is pointless, again this is CHANGING LANES, NOT MERGING! Please refer to the previous paragraph!), I honk back, he gets upset and drives along side me for a bit. I wasn't the better man in this situation by giving him the bird (I was tired after a tough personal training session I had just finished up and was headed for home), but at least I didn't act like a child like he did when I pointed the dashcam to him. I didn't have to, but I was boxed in by the traffic, meaning I was trapped and I didn't want him to get out and possibly pull me out or punch and/or kick my car, it was the only thing I could resort to. I didn't care what he had say to me at that point and just stared him down the entire time he was stopped.
Location: St. Albert Trail, St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Date: 5PM MST 9th November 2022Bad Drivers in Alberta 58 | Things Get Rocky!JWIRL2022-10-15 | I'm sorry for uploading this a month late, I've been extremely busy after the road trip to the Rockies, but it's finally here. It's been so long since I've taken a vacation since 2019 (you can pretty much guess as to why) and I'm glad that I went. I've had such a great time I honestly wished I never left. They were some pretty bad drivers during the trip.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis MacDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 57 | Driving Me Crazy!JWIRL2022-09-13 | With a busy week out of the way, I was finally able to get this video out! The next video will involve a road trip to the Rockies.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 56 | Heating Things Up!JWIRL2022-08-27 | Nothing out of the usual in this episode, just more or less the same thing this time around. The next episode will be up as soon as I can get to it, things have been pretty hectic as of late.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis McDonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 55 | Finally Got A Rear Cam Setup!JWIRL2022-08-06 | I finally got a rear cam set up for my new car. I've been meaning to do this for so long but because of covid it never happened and now I've finally did.
Good news: I get to use the dashcam I used for the Sequoia years back as my main dashcam for the car, because of the better quality it has compared to my other dashcam. Bad News: Editing footage for both dashcams is a lot more difficult than I anticipated, which is partially why this video took a while to make.
Aside from that, I'm happy enough that I was able to make this work.
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis Mcdonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 54 | New Car (Not a truck or SUV this time)!JWIRL2022-07-03 | Sorry this came out later than expected, I've been dealing with personal stuff yet again! I've got my new car after half a year waiting for it (ordered it back in December 2021) and now it's finally arrived. I think you guys may have a good idea of what it actually is, based on the looks alone. A lot of craziness and honking in this episode especially in the new car.
I hope you guys like the new intro too! I'm working on making it better overtime, I'm basically making it a little similar to an intro from an old Canadian dashcam channel from about almost a decade ago. The intro song may give it away. :P
Intro song: Otis McMusic by Otis Mcdonald.Bad Drivers in Alberta 53 | Closing A Chapter.JWIRL2022-06-02 | A lot of craziness in this episode involving close calls, wrong way drivers & street racers. Also, the next episode will involve a new vehicle that has been acquired recently, you'll know it when you see it. ;)
Intro song: Real Love by Levianth & Acejax. youtube.com/watch?v=VMqiNvYa9zABad Drivers in Alberta 52 | Rules For Thee, Not Me!JWIRL2022-05-11 | I lot of stupid happens in this video. A lot of clips from the heart of Edmonton this time around. People having no idea what one way streets are and green arrow sitters.
Intro song: Real Love by Levianth & Acejax youtube.com/watch?v=VMqiNvYa9zAPickup Truck Road Rage! (4/19/2022)JWIRL2022-04-20 | There was conflict between a Buick sedan and a 2000's Dodge Ram. I didn't notice them at first because I was checking for traffic to my left. Either the Buick cut off the driver of the Ram or the Ram driver tailgated the Buick and got brake checked. I'm assuming the latter considering I saw the Buick driver was yelling back at the guy and not waving sorry as I was turning. But your guess is as good as mine.
Location: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.Bad Drivers in Alberta 51 | Stupid Smarch Weather!JWIRL2022-04-11 | This is all I've captured for the rest of March, especially captures from St. Patrick's Day. April footage will be underway in about a weeks time once I'm done with my finals.
Intro song: Real Love by Levianth & Acejax youtube.com/watch?v=VMqiNvYa9zABad Drivers in Alberta 50 | Crashy Smashy!JWIRL2022-03-26 | By the time I've uploaded this video, the snow is practically gone thanks to the fine warm weather Alberta has gotten recently. This video covers the remainder of February to, at least, 1/3 of March. A lot of idiots in this one.
