    Got ran off the interstate today. He tried to blame me! He tried to “thread the needle” and there wasn’t ANY room to do so. At least it’s not bad and I’m not hurt.

    This is exactly why I finally got around to installing a dash cam. So many close calls like this and too many assholes try and redirect the blame when they're the ones at fault.

    I learned this weekend that Jeeps use them on their antennas as group markers for certain trails.

    Looked ridiculous

    yup, I’ve had a dash cam for years now. People in general suck so this just provides proof they suck if needed.

    If it's not a huge inconvenience, I try to give people room when it looks like they want or need it. Maybe this driver didn't allow any notice and just shoved themselves through... sorry to see it but glad everyone's OK.
    Also, I probably should get a dash cam.

    He gave you his info though I hope? I mean you have a clear photo of his license plate assuming that's the guy in the photo in front of your truck. Unless you guys agreed not to do anything

    The Sheriff called the next county with a BOL for him.

    No, I didn’t agree to that. He hit me. There was a truck in the right lane maybe ten feet ahead. This idiot tried to squeeze in between us.

    Well he's definitely an idiot then for taking off especially since you have his license plate, they shouldn't have any trouble catching him and putting the blame on him given he left the scene.

    Pool noodle was to mark the future accident. It was either put there on purpose and the person that was supposed to stop the accident did not make it there on time. Or it's to mark where an accident is suppose to happen, someone came back in time, placed it in a nearby parking lot but then the wind blew.
