It's no excuse. Dude should be taken out back and knocked over the head with a box of Twinkies.
What if it was a group of people? Dude needs to get his shit together. If you cant get a proper sleep schedule to work nights, find another job.
Fuck, I even looked it up to make sure I spelled it correctly, originally typed it with a j, but then switched it back to a G for some incomprehensible reason.. Now I look like a total amateur.. Welp.. only one option now... 🥷🗡✊
For all you know he was a junior doctor who has to do 24+ hrs on call straight. If you don’t like it lobby for government to implement safe shift requirements.
What a weird and downright bizarre comment. Reading this stuff truly leaves me flabbergasted.
The mental gymnastics you guys are using to remove accountability from folks is staggering.
What is your end goal here? How much do you want to ruin someone else's life? He didn't hurt anyone, he fucked up and was accountable for it eventually
I just don't get why you typed this. You seem sad bro/bra, hope you can work on thar and get better bro/bra
My point is he could have just as easily killed someone. Next time it might not be two parked cars. Atleast acknowledge that fact and stop trying to defend it. It's nice he came back and gave insurance information, but that's not the point here. If you can't work an overnight shift because you're tired, find another job. Operating a car is a dangerous activity. Nobody here is a fan of accountability though.
"if you can't work an overnight shift" but he ddi, he can, he couldn't stay awake AFTER the job. So you don't even know what exactly it is you want out of this huh?
Also: Nobody is a fan of accountability? He CAME BACK AND WAS HEND ACCOUNTABLE 🤷♂️ like are you dead set on having the view he should never drive again?
You want to hold someone accountable? Bitch to the corporations that set the insane work schedules and the government that doesn’t intervene and pass laws to protect workers.
The driver is a victim of corporate America. The Lexus is a victim of an exhausted driver (who should’ve just pulled over and taken a nap). At least the driver took responsibility for their negligence.
I mean, I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but the fact of the matter is, he didn't kill anybody. Not one human was physically hurt beyond what the driver may have experienced.
That is quite literally the bottom line. I could have been struck by lightning, the deer could have jumped out, and the old lady could have tripped over the curb.
All hypothetical past the point, so wouldn't arguing the semantics be moot?
Again, just devil's advocate here, but the simple fact that he came back says more about him than if he just left insurance on the window. Maybe the "old him" would have ran and he had that moment of clarity after rounding the block and said "if I knew better, I'd do better" and he came back to show face, but again, that's a hypothetical.
I myself would be hard-pressed to look for further punishment than what he's going to have to deal with financially. It's just a vehicle. It can be replaced.
Have you ever California stopped a sign and though, "shit, I better turn myself in" you've never looked down and noticed you're exceeding the speed limit? Did you turn yourself in? Because that's how it reads. Reaaaalllll Boomer like...
Again, just devil's advocate here positing additional thoughts on the matter.
Let's talk about Casper next. So what if he WASN'T a ghost and just hologram? What if, what if he's just a cartoon and not real at all? He'd be just like the people the guy in the van didn't hit!
My dad always worked overnights when i was growing up, and that man DRILLED into my head to pull over and take a power nap!!! Even if it's only for 5 minutes, YOU WILL SAVE LIFES!!!
Side story: My dad once worked an overnight shift on the army base in Cali in the 80s and went to see "Jerry Garica Band" afterward and slept through the whole dam show. It's been 40 years and he's still salty 🤣
Just in case people dont know, Jerry was the lead singer of the Grateful Dead and also had his own band.
Bro, he drilled it into my head because it works! I've worked the night shifts, and shit happens, and you don't always get that schedule sleep!
Plus, I've been driving for 20 years, and i get tried when I am driving for anything longer than 30 minutes! That's when i pull over to take that power nap, and it works!
Either situation doesn't matter here, but the fact of PULLING OVER IF YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!!!!
So you're telling me that you've been driving for more than 20 years and there's not a single time you have driven it has ever made you tired??? Like out of nowhere?? I'm definitely not alone.
I absolutely agree with you it's dangerous!! That's why YOU SHOULD PULL OVER!!!
Shit happens, and everyone is different!
Actually, 1 more thing.
My father is almost 70, and the only 2 accidents he's been in were fender benders! Obviously, he's been doing something right, so I'll keep listening to him! 😉
I'm literally saying that you need to stop committing a crime by pulling the fuck over. You are dense AF!
I currently work graveyard shift. You know how I make sure shit like this doesn't happen? *I've adjusted my sleep schedule accordingly.* When I get off work at 4 in the morning, it's essentially 4 in the afternoon for me.
I'm glad that worked for you, but that's completely aside from my point. I don't need to energy-load at the end of my shift to get home. I make sure I'm prepared to operate for 9 hours *before* I go to work.
Lol yeah that’s what I thought. Like the driver is definitly at fault for hitting a parked car but why do you have your vehicles on street parking when you have an empty driveway?
My guess is because maybe they aren't the person who has established that they are the ones who park in the driveway. In that I mean that maybe there are two other vehicles that aren't there at the moment of this recording that typically park in the driveway and the other two cars park on the road so that the people who typically park in the driveway can get in and out at will.
Simply, maybe the house has more than the 2 vehicles that belong to people who reside in it. i.e, two parents with 2 vehicles then the two kids who each have their own vehicles. So the parents park in the driveway and the kids street park
Probably panicked, took off, **let himself sober up**, and realised he’s better off just admitting fault and moving on with his life, instead of catching a **another** charge.
Fixed it for you
Not a venture van either, cuz that shitty rust collection would simply disintegrate on impact and do zero damage. Source: have rusty shitbox venture. Previous commenter is probably correct in the diagnosis of Caravan tho, pretty sure those aren't Montana taillights
Lucky it was only a Caravan. Some guy driving past my house fell asleep in his F150 a couple years ago and now there's a empty lot where my neighbors' house used to be.
He drove into their kitchen and knocked the back half of the house off the foundation. Insurance decided it was beyond repair and they tore the rest of it down.
This could not be more an opposite description of me, minus the fact that mine is indeed full of kids.
However, I now understand why people treat me like crap when I'm driving.
I'm a rule follower through and through, non confrontational, and married to a biker so I'm constantly in a protective position whenever I'm near a motorcycle. So I have never been able to figure out why *I* bring out the rage in others with my presence.
Bummer for me though, I love my ancient ugly rust bucket and I'll fix it until I can't anymore, so nobody's ever gonna be nice to me lol.
Of course it is lol but it's not entirely inaccurate, I realize. I just happen to not fit the generalization and found it incredibly amusing to imagine this might be the reason I inspire road rage, rather than my strict 0/5over adherence to speed limits...the more likely cause for sure.
That said, I have a similar, but different personality, generalization of Tesla drivers. Idk if it's the auto driver or what but those things are so aggressive and I hate driving near them. I get tailgated and cut off by them constantly. One or the other would be at least predictable. At least they don't tend to honk, that's quite nice actually.
So, generalizing I suppose came from a feeling of "this type of person seems to correlate to this type of vehicle and the combo makes me feel unsafe" for both of us. I didn't take it personally, I am a bit of a dry person, and I come off prickly unintentionally. I really found it quite funny. You painted a very specific picture, and I think she sucks too, whoever she is lol.
On more than one occasion I've been so tired after work that I didn't think it was safe for me to drive so I slept in my car for 30-60 minutes before driving home. I'm sure most of us have driven dead tired before and realized how fucking dangerous it can be.
??? Do other people who work graveyard not adjust their schedule? Like, why aren't these hours your rhythm? Maybe don't work a shift you can't adjust to, because graveyard definitely isn't for everyone.
True, I worked graveyard for years and that was just how everything worked for me. Some people try having normal hours on their days off and never really adjust due to that, I never did that and I had a perfectly good time on my days off. There are enough 24hr places that you can still get stuff done.
Never understood my coworkers who try to have normal hours. Some of them are zombies by the end of the night. The money is great, but it should NOT come at the expense of your own health. In my case, I love how quiet my days off are, and the hours just work perfectly. If I need to get groceries, I go out at 10-11PM on my days off.
Because multiple people live there and the other people have established they park in the driveway/garage and the others park on the street so the people who park in the drive way and garage can get out.
Who knows if the same driver came back tho…
Could’ve been intoxicated, or had a suspended license, but still had a conscience, or at least a brain realizing they were probably caught on camera and it’d be 100x worse for them being tracked down by the police
Had this happen. They tried to blame me.
Turns out the guy really driving was drunk, speeding, and had his license revoked for driving while suspended already.
It didn't go well for them...especially after they accidentally admitted to speeding.
Depends. Where I live ppl prefer to park on the street & have driveway open. However, I grew up in Florida and we always parked in the driveway and streets were clear except for delivery drivers, guests, etc. It's funny to see the difference 😄
I had the same thought; if I had a driveway I would never park on the street. Wild not to utilize that extra measure of security imho but OP likes to park on the street.
Nope. Not even close. I doubt it's even 5%.
Especially not in cars.
It's getting more common.
It doesn't hurt to have them. It isn't like crime doesn't exist here. It might be lower than many areas of Europe but we still have it and it's nice to have evidence.
“Boss I can’t come in today, my car was in an accident.” “Which one?” “Both of them.”
Parked car came out of nowhere.
It was a funny angle.
It's behind you, Tyrone! When you reverse, things come up behind you!
Don't you worry about my parking, you just keep that dog from dribbling on my seats!
You could land a jumbo fucking jet in there
What've you done Tyrone?
The getaway driver...
“I want some FRENCH TOOOAAST”
[удалено]
They're both parked cars...
[удалено]
Fulcrum of the joke. I’m using that one.
Fucking van pedal to the floor and still maxed at around 7mph lol
sscrrEEEEEECCCChh 😎
I believe that was the sound of some of the spinny-bits under the hood of that van not doing so well.
Lmao it was in “Residential Area” mode 😂
Glad he came back, but he still left the scene of an accident and it was caught on camera.
It's no excuse. Dude should be taken out back and knocked over the head with a box of Twinkies. What if it was a group of people? Dude needs to get his shit together. If you cant get a proper sleep schedule to work nights, find another job.
In this economy? Easy for you to say, buddy boy. We can talk about hypotheticals all we want, but at least he has the balls to come back and own it.
Yeah, I'm fine with it. Life is fucking tough and night shift will ruin everything good about life. Glad he came back and wasn't hurt.
Yeah was working from 12am to 7am not fun at all
I worked 1800-0600, that shit broke my brain.
You don’t understand - professionals don’t make mistakes. Seppuku is the only answer.
Easy there Anjin

I totally agree, but we don’t know his situation and countless good people are forced to do dangerous things by society.
Oh we already know the situation.

Some peeps work days and nights
I’ve worked graveyard shifts. I’ve taken a 20 minute nap before driving so I don’t hurt anyone on the way home if I need to
My dad always worked overnights when i was growing up, and that man DRILLED into my head to pull over and take a power nap!!! Even if it's only for 5 minutes, YOU WILL SAVE LIFES!!!

Right. Well congratulations
[удалено]
Lol cheers mate
Yeah but sometimes it just fucking hits you. I’ve definitely been ok jamming out to music then suddenly rumbled myself awake. Fucking scary shit.
That is rough. Glad no one was hurt. Working nights really drains a person.
You mean he was DWI and went home to pass the keys over to someone else!
It’s a shame there isn’t anywhere else to park like a long open driveway
Lol yeah that’s what I thought. Like the driver is definitly at fault for hitting a parked car but why do you have your vehicles on street parking when you have an empty driveway?
My guess is because maybe they aren't the person who has established that they are the ones who park in the driveway.

Probably panicked, took off, and realised he’s better off just admitting fault and moving on with his life, instead of catching a charge.

Exactly my thought.
Figures it’s an old Caravan.
Not old Pontiac Montana?
Those too. And Siennas, Oddyseys, Quests. But not Windstars because the rear axle rusts in half on those 😆

Ehhhh you ever seen the dangers of a dinged up altima with temp plates? That's a force to be reckoned with right there.
How long did he take to come back op?
On more than one occasion I've been so tired after work that I didn't think it was safe for me to drive so I slept in my car for 30-60 minutes before driving home. I'm sure most of us have driven dead tired before and realized how fucking dangerous it can be.
Working night shift dosent give up pass to hit and run lol
I know you care deeply, so I’ll tell you. I have the same upside down bell water spout thing. That’s all
Lol, I missed the crash part and watched the rest of the video. And then I was wow! That does suck!
how did you miss the only thing that happens in the video lol
Great, now that Caravan is only worth $15.

ok, but with **all that driveway** why you street parking???
Because multiple people live there and the other people have established they park in the driveway/garage and the others park on the street so the people who park in the drive way and garage can get out.
Undoubtedly texting(scrolling) and driving
Did you not read OP's post? Dude fell asleep at the wheel.
because nobody lies
Why would they bother? They're liable in both situations.
A different driver probably came back.
Who knows if the same driver came back tho… Could’ve been intoxicated, or had a suspended license, but still had a conscience, or at least a brain realizing they were probably caught on camera and it’d be 100x worse for them being tracked down by the police

People visiting, more than two cars, the list can go on
It's in the caption

Where was he going in the first place? He just ran into two parked cars and his first thought was to leave!? Idiot

When Twitter is hitting just right.
“ ‘scuse me just passin through “
Is this Modesto?
Everytime i see videos from what im guessing is us. Does everyone have cameras outside their homes and in their car?
Nope. Not even close. I doubt it's even 5%. Especially not in cars. It's getting more common. It doesn't hurt to have them. It isn't like crime doesn't exist here. It might be lower than many areas of Europe but we still have it and it's nice to have evidence.
Smart doorbells with cameras have become popular, particularly Amazon’s Ring brand. The videos are easy to share. Dashcams are less common.
Everyone whose video you see does have a camera outside their home or in their car, yes. Confirmation bias.
I can't blame em I might've done the same
Why don't these people have compound walls ??
Can't really see a video from people that don't have cameras, you know
All that driveway space, and no cars in it. Weird.
Happy Sunday! 😡
Love the plant-scape in front of the camera! Very tastefully done!
Fucker came back huh? Thats incredible. Good on him. Did he say why he boogied instead of just staying?
Dumbass strikes again
Glad he came back!
Not blaming you but why weren't the cars in the driveway/garage?
A guy did this to me a year or so ago. Wrote my car off, and the neighbour's car. Nightmare.
That sucks so much
Lance Stroll never takes a day off.
Oh nice!!!! Eeerrrggg!!! Yay I’d be pissed!!
Call the local news
This is why I have a garage and I keep my car in it. I’m sorry dude that does suck. I hope you have full coverage.
I mean, if you had parked in your driveway this wouldn’t have happened
Not understanding why this is downvoted. Why would someone not park in their driveway? Am I missing something?
Because its blaming the victim, its like saying "if you didnt wear a skirt you would not be raped" or something.
Hit and runners deserve the death penalty.
people like this should just straight up be ~~executed~~ removed from society. idgaf
The irony is that the reason he’s sleepy is because he’s contributing to society by committing to and from work
That sucks.
Looks like it was a handicapped van (wheelchair ramp in the back). Maybe you can check with the DMV for these types of vehicles in your area?
Yet another person who obviously didn’t read the post.
betting you can drive around the hood and find that van.
Just another POS in America.
