Dash Cam Captures of Human Stupidity

I'll see if I can do it with imovie editor on my macbook.
I don't really have any video software let me check if I can I'll repost it

 

Kind of related but why do people block out their license plates on internet photos/videos? I mean, your plates are visible to the public all the time anyway....I never understood it

 

That all just sounds like fraud. Get a front and rear dash cam and go after anybody who sues you wrongly.

 

Once it gets online, it's easier to share around.

Oh sure, someone could snap a photo/video of you and post it online and it gets around. But it's just a way from your end to stop it from getting around.

 

in toronto they do.
they get away with murder seriously

 

I've got both haha. These babies have saved me plenty of times and others.
Had one lady try and say the TTC (public transit) bus hit her, video shows the bus was completely stopped when she got in front of it when she just suddenly fell.

 

Makes sense, the internet has more collective weirdos in one place than any particular public spot that your truck is parked or driving in (mostly) I would imagine.

That's it.
Its hard to tell from the video but I went from about 45-50KM to 10km when he jumped out thats how hard I had to brake. Under DODTech viewer it shows the G force from the braking, it was much harder than regular braking.

Its stupid I had cyclist commenting stupid shit when its videos like this that they should watch and think 'I should check before changing lanes'

 

I would change your youtube name, just to make it a little more difficult for any pissed off morons to trace it back to you since you were worried about it.

 

unlisted video now anyways.
can't just search it on youtube.

 

Ehh that really didn't look too bad, Idk why anybody would get upset. You didn't come anywhere near hitting him. It was easy to see what he was going to do but he still should have signaled.

 

exactly lol
yet I had a shit load of comments from all the cyclist advocates here in the city saying I'm terrible and shouldn't be driving.

Thing is that stretch of road right there has a lot of accidents (this is in downtown toronto) no one seems to pay attention. I constantly see cars blow through street car open doors, I see tons driving and texting or driving and on their phone.
Its not even the lack of signaling that was so bad, you can't tell in the video but he never even turned around to see if a car was coming he just changed lanes. Had I have been closer he would've went right into my car.

The cyclist here believe they have the right of way no matter what and they do not need to check their surroundings, that drivers always see them.
I see cyclist riding after sundown with 0 lights or reflectors on them. can't see them until your headlights are right on them.
So many cyclist say they should be on roads, ok fine but then you should be obeying all the rules of the road and a good thing to do would be wearing a high visibility vest while riding at night. Its ridiculous so many cyclist are against things making it safer for them on the road.

 

hard to really see how quick and idiotic this bitch in the Rav4 was on my way home tonight. Cruising solid at 80 and she panics and slams her brakes. Thankfully i knew the semi was a bit back, i look in the rear view and when i look forward i see her slam on her brakes and i had to slide out of the way in my own panic. As you can see it was for absolutely no reason. Then coming home some jackass wants to get hit apparently. Click over to 720 for clear video.



After watching i have updated the date/time on the camera as well. whoopsie.

 

I like to use (disclaimer: well-practiced and only in safe and easily controlled situations) threshold braking with my non-ABS brakes in the Taco in the most egregious of these scenarios. Using the horn generally causes little reaction from the self-entitled and overconfident city cyclist/pedestrian other than the occasional scowl or flip of the bird. The ominous howl from some big AT tires locking up will get immediate attention and evasive reaction. (And ideally, just a little loss of bladder control.)

 

Not so much stupid as unlucky. Patch of ice takes out Furd merging onto the freeway right in front of me. Haven't uploaded the vid cause I'm at work but did get a screen shot of it.

 

did you avoid it??

 

Yup, swerved like it was nobody's business. I'm not so sure about the trail of cars behind me though.

 

Looks like the guy in front of her brake checked her for riding his ass. Both parties are ass holes.

I have a good one coming once I figure out how to not make it 300 megabytes.
