After watching dashcam crash videos for 5 years, I finally got around to getting a dashcam for myself (not that I intend to star in any of those videos, mind you).
From those crash videos, I've learned to never turn left in Russia. You'll get t-boned almost every time.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y ago> Don't turn left in Russia. You'll get t-boned almost every time. I'm skeptical. How does this happen if I yield to traffic that's already on the road?
- thriftwy 3y agoSomebody decides to speed past you in the wrong lane as you try to turn? Otherwise, it's not as dangerous as dashcam videos make it look. What's the opposite of survivor bias?
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoOh, I see. I didn't lower my scumbag bar enough, I guess. Yeah, that's nuts.
- theandrewbailey 3y ago> What's the opposite of survivor bias? Confirmation bias, maybe.
- jefftk 3y agoSurvivor bias is a specific case of selection bias, and the issue here is also selection bias: there's a selection effect on which dashcam videos you end up seeing.
