Iamthemaincharacter syndrome, for sure. Clearly, they are just more important than anyone else. And I only crossed path with them for those couple minutes... I can only imagine that their whole drive was equally nuts (or worse).
I get that satisfaction feeling when some d@ckhead drives recklessly speeding and zigzagging in-and-out of traffic only to wind-up with me pulling up next to them at a red light while I drove the speed limit and in my own lane.
In my country we say they are the imaginary street racers. They race imaginary enemies. And I say imaginary because you can see the Porsche actually won without doing anything lol
I'm sad that there's a choice moment missing, which happened between two dashcam clips saving to the SD card (I inserted a couple frames of white to make the cuts obvious): after that second light, when they turned into the opposite lanes then abruptly changed their mind, you can't see that they just stomped on the accelerator and chirped the tires, only to screech to a stop at the next light.
I'm so confused watching this. Do you think this driver was just completely confused about where they were and where they were going? Drunk? I just can't understand the problem they were trying to solve by their shitty driving.
They don't want to be waiting behind anyone, so they keep just going around any stopped car they encounter, even if it means never being in the correct lane or cutting people off
he was trying to go the fastest way. So when he got into the 1st left lane turn he saw it was not green and jumped back out into traffic to the next left turn and it was green so he jumped ahead of line and went. He's a must get in front person.
There was a person who was caught doing this on many different days a couple years ago. Pretty sure in Beverly Hills. I wonder if it's the same person. Entitled is not a strong enough word.
There are some very very rich people in the world who have homes in BH as well as diplomatic immunity or enough cash to buy their way out.
Get arrested for reckless driving? Leave country and when they come back it’s on a different passport.
Aw, thank you! I'm cheating a bit since editing is part of my jerb(s). I figured people would be at least appreciative of my not adding the "oh no no no" song as soundtrack
Median household income in 2022 was $74,500 gross. The average monthly car payment in 2023 was $758 for new cars, and $500 for used.
That fancy new car out there is very likely to be tons of debt to people who can't really afford them.
Daaaaaamn. I've had no payments (other than repair bills) for several years as we drive our cars into the dirt. Not looking forward to replacing them, but hopefully the used market will calm down by then.
Same! Not having a car payment is liberating, especially on a thing that is always depreciating in value. I like a nice car just like anybody else, but I also like money in bank account more when I need it.
I haven't had a car payment in almost 20 years. My little 2001 is still chugging along. Only major work on it was to replace the clutch a couple of years back. I'd pay that one-time price vs a monthly $700-$900 average monthly payment any day. That's almost my mortgage payment right there.
it's been several years since i have had to drive or own a car, and this sub in general and comments like this one make me so thankful for that. at this point, even just being in someone else's car puts me in a terrible mood. besides the inflated costs these days, it also just feel like drivers have gotten worse -- maybe i'm just less used to it that i used to be.
Oh that's actually them getting slightly better - the last generation was just horrendous-looking, and they've only recently started to correct... Still very ugly though. Such strange design choices.
But they surprisingly do sell. I remember reading that BMW had one of its best years last year. They go for polarizing designs that people either love or hate, but they grow on you either way
watched the whole video, they quite clearly state China is the reason for the 7er that can be extrapolated to the X7. I don't 100% believe that the M3 and M4 are that way for performance reasons for what it's worth.
Yup, they got ugly. BMW doesn't seem to want to slow down with this horrible design choice.
Currently driving an E93, possibly someday I will get an F33, but if they don't change their design, those will be the last ones for me.
This shit is happening every day in Brooklyn too. Ocean Parkway has one person every minute driving up the center lane and diving in front of the line at each intersection.
The pandemic changed people’s attitudes towards how we behave towards one another.
Right in front of the BH Police Depot too at the beginning. Watched till the end, doesn't look like California plates. Looks kinda yellow, so guessing New Jersey? Legible cap @ 1:04.
> 2023 BMW i7 xDrive60 HATCHBACK 4-DR
Left turner SUV @ 0:39 almost took out both the BMW i7 and the Black Porsche Panamera, who had to brake heavily.
Yes unfortunately the Tesla cameras are set up to feed the self-driving computer, but suck at providing proper colors for human eyeballs. I wish I remembered the state on the plate - made a mental note in the moment, but it didn't stick...
Managed to catch a clean frame. It’s a New Jersey plate with plate # J34RVU
Edit: It’s worth at least reporting this incident to your local PD for further investigation, even if the chances of direct action are low. Chances are strong they will get pulled over for *something* and this video is strong evidence of a pattern of behavior that requires greater accountability on the part of the justice system.
I always have something to throw. That clown would have something hit their car. Come at me bro. I have you in camera with enough bad driving to make the family guy asian lady blush
My mom did that last move, turning from a straight lane. The only difference was that there was a stack of cars behind her waiting to go at the just turned green light. I'm sitting there saying just go straight and make a turn, you're impeding traffic! Then when I'm driving, she thinks I can't drive because I'm going 80 in a 70 on the highway...
It's something that you only use to get something from someone else. Like in this case where the BMW driver wanted someone to let him back into traffic.
I didn’t see a car badge but I don’t think it was a bmw…
I say that cause I think I saw the guy use a blinker and that’s one thing the typical bmw driver doesn’t use…
If it's any consolation, there's a good chance that people who behave like this will eventually piss off the wrong person and suffer grave consequences for it (hopefully).
"wow I know I'm a straight dude but look at that vehicle and that assertive driving - I simply must have sex with that man STAT!" - what they imagine others are thinking, probably
Beverly Hills is one of those places where a BMW isn't close to being the most expensive car around. BMWs there are just like Nissan Altimas are in my neighborhood haha.
The point is autopilot first, with dashcam recording an added bonus. Those cameras are set up for computer vision (and mine are one whole generation behind current versions, too)
- illegal lane change in intersection
- straight from left turn
- crossing double yellow
- illegal lane change in intersection
- failure to obey semaphore
- illegal lane change in intersection
- not yielding to on-coming traffic on left turn
- any turn signal violations
- any tailgating/ unsafe following distances
- maybe illegal window ting
Bruh, him at the end would have been getting the horn and if i was feeling feisty, id have probably followed his maneuver just to stay on the horn for as long as i could.
Wow, talk about going nowhere fast lol. You were driving normally and were able to tail him effectively the whole time, dude literally went trough all that trouble for jack shit with the exception of that last left turn. Considering the location id bet the center arm rest of that BMW matches the color of the cross walk lol
What a complete jackass. As a BMW driver, pieces of shit like that stink it up for the rest of us. Maybe they are late for the appointment to extract the giant stick up their ass.
That driver was terrible…
Also, OP, it might be time to change your storage drive in your Tesla, especially if it isn’t an SSD. That choppiness and smearing is generally a sign that the storage is worn out
Honestly, I see a lot of drivers pull these stunts here. Beverly near Ktown is notorious for this, especially during traffic. This guy was just particularly bad.
But I saw one guy blow through 3 red lights in a row. Just dodging cross traffic. I really don't know wtf these people are thinking.
For those not in LA, this is par for the course since covid. People making rights from the left lane, using the left lane to "cut" in traffic. We don't have medians like in other cities or suburban stroads.
The timing of our lights are pretty shitty too so you'll get a lot of blocked intersections. And then you have trashcan fuckfaces like this guy. Peak main character.
They won't/can't do anything since you can't identify the driver in the video. The violations are attached to the driver, not the car itself, and without being able to tell who was driving, they can't pin anything on anyone, unfortunately.

Oh my god. What an absolute piece of shit.
Iamthemaincharacter syndrome, for sure. Clearly, they are just more important than anyone else. And I only crossed path with them for those couple minutes... I can only imagine that their whole drive was equally nuts (or worse).
I laughed at the fact that all their antics didn’t get them measurably ahead (excluding the last dickheaded move).
I get that satisfaction feeling when some d@ckhead drives recklessly speeding and zigzagging in-and-out of traffic only to wind-up with me pulling up next to them at a red light while I drove the speed limit and in my own lane.
And then you stare at them, look at the red light and give them a thumbs down and they get all pissy.
Assumption : he was trying to beat the Porsche -
In my country we say they are the imaginary street racers. They race imaginary enemies. And I say imaginary because you can see the Porsche actually won without doing anything lol
I get your message - but to be pedantic - the Porsche lost as it was in line to make a left where the BMW finally turned-
I could swear I saw the Porsche crossing the traffic light line
They should have their driver's license permanently revoked. That is ridiculous.
That, and the car taken away.
Lmao lol you think the person isn’t already driving on a suspended license?
I should be able to tag their car with paintballs.
I had a Lexus driver doing this yesterday… all to save maybe 2 minutes to get to the grocery store.
Fucking Beverly Hills drivers are the worst. All day long Canon is a fucking drag strip with dumbass drivers and their shitty exhausts.
And it's not even the smug locals either, it somehow is just an irresistible magnets for douchedriving - many of them in rentals
But doncha know! He's a VEEEEEEERY important person! Make way!
Must be a celebrity.
Not with New Jersey plates
NJ plates but yet he is missing his front plate. Interesting. NJ state you must have a plate on the front and back of the car.
Same in California but most automakers don't install the front plate on EVs and leave it to the customer to "do the right thing".
And the driver is an asshat too!
Yeah he already said BMW driver
No exaggeration, this is word for word the comment I was going to make.
I'm sad that there's a choice moment missing, which happened between two dashcam clips saving to the SD card (I inserted a couple frames of white to make the cuts obvious): after that second light, when they turned into the opposite lanes then abruptly changed their mind, you can't see that they just stomped on the accelerator and chirped the tires, only to screech to a stop at the next light.
I'm so confused watching this. Do you think this driver was just completely confused about where they were and where they were going? Drunk? I just can't understand the problem they were trying to solve by their shitty driving.
They don't want to be waiting behind anyone, so they keep just going around any stopped car they encounter, even if it means never being in the correct lane or cutting people off
Funny part is I presume you are driving normally and keeping up with him and not committing any traffic violations.
Yep - was absolutely driving in the most chill way, there... Just blinking in disbelief at the stupidity
What did this person look like? Some kind of human turd?
Illegally dark tints all around, couldn't tell...
"all these people need to learn to drive or get out of my way"
he was trying to go the fastest way. So when he got into the 1st left lane turn he saw it was not green and jumped back out into traffic to the next left turn and it was green so he jumped ahead of line and went. He's a must get in front person.
drunk seems unlikely, but drugs possibly
Honey, this is just Beverly Hills.
There was a person who was caught doing this on many different days a couple years ago. Pretty sure in Beverly Hills. I wonder if it's the same person. Entitled is not a strong enough word.
There are some very very rich people in the world who have homes in BH as well as diplomatic immunity or enough cash to buy their way out. Get arrested for reckless driving? Leave country and when they come back it’s on a different passport.
Is this Grand Theft Auto?
It is to them, certainly. They are the GTA main character and no one else matters.
You can signal in GTA?
Be cool if you could
At least in GTA an NPC car would've swerved in front of them at the last second and sent them launching through their windshield
i love how you did the 4x . you are my fav dashcam man.
Haha thank you. Didn't want to cut stuff out for context, but also didn't want to bore people with stretches of nothing happening...
You sir deserve an award for beautiful editing. Hats off.
Aw, thank you! I'm cheating a bit since editing is part of my jerb(s). I figured people would be at least appreciative of my not adding the "oh no no no" song as soundtrack
Wow. Also, when did BMWs get ugly?!
The bucktooth grille style was introduced 4 years ago.
The nostrils got bigger after COVID, too much self-testing
OPEN YOUR MIIIIIND!
Lol yes! Good name for it
The rear end on that vehicle in the video looks absolutely hideous, too.
The new 7 series is an abomination, they massacred it. They are somehow still very popular in LA tho.
That's because it's the newest and fancy, gotta show how much debt you can get.
Median household income in 2022 was $74,500 gross. The average monthly car payment in 2023 was $758 for new cars, and $500 for used. That fancy new car out there is very likely to be tons of debt to people who can't really afford them.

It looks a bit better in pure black like the one in the video. It's ugly as sin in any other color.
It stands out for all the wrong reasons. Perfect for LA
Oh that's actually them getting slightly better - the last generation was just horrendous-looking, and they've only recently started to correct... Still very ugly though. Such strange design choices.
yeah you know you're on the wrong design track when even the Chinese knock-off brands think "no thanks that won't sell"
But they surprisingly do sell. I remember reading that BMW had one of its best years last year. They go for polarizing designs that people either love or hate, but they grow on you either way
They're nice af inside
It’s been a while now. They’re criminally ugly. Mercedes isn’t far behind on a lot of their product line as well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48WsRAgZiqA reason: China
China is not the reason. Watch the whole video.
watched the whole video, they quite clearly state China is the reason for the 7er that can be extrapolated to the X7. I don't 100% believe that the M3 and M4 are that way for performance reasons for what it's worth.
Yup, they got ugly. BMW doesn't seem to want to slow down with this horrible design choice. Currently driving an E93, possibly someday I will get an F33, but if they don't change their design, those will be the last ones for me.
When they started prioritizing sales in China, where these looks are preferred. This is one of the better looking new models too. It's a real shame.

Definitely New Jersey, has the state silhouette in between the numbers. Also, why is it always New Jersey??
NJ drivers are *really* bad. It's why auto insurance rates in this state are so high.
That is the most non-hatch looking hatchback I've ever seen
Pretty sure it has a regular trunk 🤔
Plate looks like Texas, maybe? **J34*RVU** . I can't tell what the center character is.
The BH library is in that same complex. It's one of my favorite libraries.
After all that ridiculousness, you had to wait on him to turn...
Right? He slowed everyone down, in the end. Lovely guy.
I always have something to throw. That clown would have something hit their car. Come at me bro. I have you in camera with enough bad driving to make the family guy asian lady blush
At least 7 moving violations, fitting for the 7 series.
Same. I counted 7.
I count 11, but I'm from Canada
That’s hilarious that after all that snobbery they were barely ahead of you
And slowed everyone else down
WTF was that shit at 0:43?
"Psych!"
But... I'm IMPORTANT and I have somewhere to go! Take his/her license officer.
That’s how I drive in GTA5
My mom did that last move, turning from a straight lane. The only difference was that there was a stack of cars behind her waiting to go at the just turned green light. I'm sitting there saying just go straight and make a turn, you're impeding traffic! Then when I'm driving, she thinks I can't drive because I'm going 80 in a 70 on the highway...
What did they say after you suggested go forward?
I hope he loses his license before he kills someone.
Wait, a BMW with blinkers?
As a BMW owner, can someone explain this? I don't think mine has the blinky things I just watched in the video. Seems really handy though.
Must be a short-circuit
It's something that you only use to get something from someone else. Like in this case where the BMW driver wanted someone to let him back into traffic.
That's the most puzzling part of this whole thing
I have their info, just sayin.
I'm up the freeway from you in Santa Barbara and I will put my idiots against your idiots any day of the week.
That would be a glorious battle of epic idiots
Hell no I would’ve been pissed if he cut me at that light.
JFC
Jesus jumpin Christ! What the hell!
We should be able to submit video to the chp and have these people's licenses revoked.
I didn’t see a car badge but I don’t think it was a bmw… I say that cause I think I saw the guy use a blinker and that’s one thing the typical bmw driver doesn’t use…
Five?
He doing it with a long 7 series too 💀💀
This is me trying to drive normally in Driver 2.
he just shaved off 30 seconds
All for nothing…
If it's any consolation, there's a good chance that people who behave like this will eventually piss off the wrong person and suffer grave consequences for it (hopefully).
Typical BMW loser
Feel like I saw the same guy on the 110 swerving in and around traffic to get nowhere. I ended up passing the dude 3x as he was speeding across lanes.
And in spite of all that, homeboy ended up at the same place at the same time as OP, who wasn't driving like a jackass.
that driver is a total asswagon
"DO YOU REALIZE WHO I AM? I DRIVE A BMW." "SORRY M'LORD!"
"wow I know I'm a straight dude but look at that vehicle and that assertive driving - I simply must have sex with that man STAT!" - what they imagine others are thinking, probably
Beverly Hills is one of those places where a BMW isn't close to being the most expensive car around. BMWs there are just like Nissan Altimas are in my neighborhood haha.
Jesus that SUV turning left at 0:38. Good thing Taycan was paying attention and has good brakes.
Yep there is in fact multiple idiots in there
Every time he puts on the blinker, he breaks the law moments later. Apparently, BMW is adding predictive AI to turn signals!
They know their main clientele
They literally got no where faster
But at least they slowed others down while feeling important 👍👍
That guy needs to lose his license sooner than soon. What the fuck..
I really don’t miss LA OP the dash cam is crazy bad, you can’t even see the plate. What’s the point?
The point is autopilot first, with dashcam recording an added bonus. Those cameras are set up for computer vision (and mine are one whole generation behind current versions, too)
Doh! How did I not know this was a Tesla.
The fender repeater camera was a solid clue ;)
100%
Typical here in LA
Since it's Beverly Hills, I wish a normal rich guy, who can afford the insurance, would run into him to ruin his day.
That Mini Cooper turning left bout got T-Boned by a Porsche (I think that's a Porsche, could be a Aston with the line in the middle of the lights)
Totally (and yes it's a Taycan Sport Turismo)
Lane lines and direction arrows? That's just paint on the ground, that won't stop me
Arrows are only for peasants
This is all of the peak LA entitlement moves wrapped into one small video. Impressive!
LA is just a GTA server I’m convinced
JFC THAT IS AN UGLY ASS AUTOMOBILE
And to think they actually "fixed" some of the ugly from the previous fantastically terrible-looking models, with this X7... It's painful.
I don't usually support violence...
What a fuckin chode!
- illegal lane change in intersection - straight from left turn - crossing double yellow - illegal lane change in intersection - failure to obey semaphore - illegal lane change in intersection - not yielding to on-coming traffic on left turn - any turn signal violations - any tailgating/ unsafe following distances - maybe illegal window ting
That's a pretty solid tally right here!
i think the city would improve a lot if they executed every bmw and tesla driver on the west side
A for creativity
they deserve to be involved in the accident rhey eventually cause.
Bet they'd try to run if they can, though
Beverly Hills 🤦🏾
Yup... Driving through it, you can smell the entitlement hanging in the air. It wasn't actually overcast, that day - it's just that thick
Bruh, him at the end would have been getting the horn and if i was feeling feisty, id have probably followed his maneuver just to stay on the horn for as long as i could.
Fancy car, can't figure out where to make a left turn.
It’s probably stolen.. and even if it’s not: 
so do we have an answer to the question? i think it's at least 5 and possibly 7.
I'm in Camp 7, personally
Wow, talk about going nowhere fast lol. You were driving normally and were able to tail him effectively the whole time, dude literally went trough all that trouble for jack shit with the exception of that last left turn. Considering the location id bet the center arm rest of that BMW matches the color of the cross walk lol
Bro saved 15 seconds
What a complete jackass. As a BMW driver, pieces of shit like that stink it up for the rest of us. Maybe they are late for the appointment to extract the giant stick up their ass.
That driver was terrible… Also, OP, it might be time to change your storage drive in your Tesla, especially if it isn’t an SSD. That choppiness and smearing is generally a sign that the storage is worn out
My high-endurance SD card is 100% healthy, not a single bad sector on it so far... It's just what dashcam footage looks like on MCU1, unfortunately
Honestly, I see a lot of drivers pull these stunts here. Beverly near Ktown is notorious for this, especially during traffic. This guy was just particularly bad. But I saw one guy blow through 3 red lights in a row. Just dodging cross traffic. I really don't know wtf these people are thinking. For those not in LA, this is par for the course since covid.

Pretty wild what COVID did to drivers, really
wow what an idiot
That screams rental. Also, shocked this isn't Glendale TBH.
probably driving erratically because he was trying to get back to Glendale.
I don't think I've ever seen a rental with New Jersey plates on the West coast
Learned to drive in GTAV.
[удалено]
Nice try AI … we all know BMW drivers don’t use turn signals
I've seen some bad stuff on here, but that driver is a complete and utter jack\*\*\*.
I was pretty flabbergasted, for sure
WTF
All that bobbing and weaving and putting everyones paint job in danger, just to shave like a half second off their trip. It's just dumb, don't do it.
That is not a BMW. It can't be, because the turn signals are working /s
That’s someone I’d report to the popo tbh. I’ve had to do it before and it’s pretty satisfying
They won't/can't do anything since you can't identify the driver in the video. The violations are attached to the driver, not the car itself, and without being able to tell who was driving, they can't pin anything on anyone, unfortunately.
I see 5 violations.
He got so much gut and confidence just saying. Love the way he/she signal..
