Dash Cam Captures of Human Stupidity

That's it, I'm buying a dash cam this morning. I was holding off because I wanted a nice one, but I just need something up there. I was leaving breakfast this morning, and pulled onto the main road. 3 lanes each way with a divider. As I'm pulling onto the road, further ahead a woman pulls out but turns LEFT onto the road, GOING THE WRONG WAY. There was a break in traffic, so I frantically honked my horn and waved my arm out the window trying to signal her to turn around, but she looked at me like I was crazy and kept going. Approaching traffic all slowed down and honked and I think she finally turned around. Luckily no one was hurt.

 

Get the A119 without the GPS, it's really good camera fun under $100!

That's exactly what I got! Just installed it this morning.

 

Usually people who drive like that are the "my license is suspended and has been suspended 3x over but the state doesn't have the resources to hunt me down" type of people.

It's the price we pay for not having a nanny state that will come down on you like a ton of bricks, confiscate your car, and force your dumb ass to buy a bus pass.

I'll have to clean out my dash cam, I think the only funny thing I caught so far was a woman trying to steal a road sign that was too big for the back of her car so she couldn't fit it in.

 

In on 1...

Definitely need to see that vid. Was she high or something? Haha!

 

Video turned out shitty, she was under an overpass in bright midday sun. Here's a screencap that basically sums it up:


I actually do have some more fun ones saved, though. I tend to just forget about them, keep the road rage at bay and just "let it go" so I end up forgetting. Gonna see about trimming and uploading.

 

Woman in Tahoe ignored Yield sign entering a round about and never looked left to see if anyone was coming.



Happens too me like once a week so I assume everyone is going to pull out in front of me.

 

The thing that impressed me most in firearms training was how quick I could get shot in a real fight.

 

I drive quite a bit so one of these would be a good investment. I see crazy stuff far to often.

 

I just got mine and a hardwiring kit and an SD card for $115. Drop in the hat compared to what you could potentially save in an insurance claim where you need to claim fault.

 

I will check it out. Thanks.

 

It turns out I missed a good Arizona one cause I cocked up the settings and it got overwritten.

My two Pennsylvania ones:

This person decided that "green arrow" meant "go straight through not one but two red lights" at a sort of silly intersection where two T's meet at a slight offset.



And this person decided that looking before swinging out for a U-turn was thoroughly unnecessary, luckily I was already wise to their shit and went way wide.


Neither are particularly exciting in a cursing, slamming on the brakes sort of way, but really makes you scratch your head sometimes.

 

Just a dummy not driving properly, wanting to cut across a few lanes, mostly annoying.

 

Not my video, but funny... DOH!

... and *another* reason for a dash cam... Evidence to use if falsely accused.

From BlackBoxMyCar's FB feed, this guy was pulled over for running a red light that was actually green, and visible as such in the video.

BTW - make sure you know whether your state is one or two party consent for audio recordings.

 

This is my full unedited encounter with some retard in my small town. Didn't want to post it because the general consensus is that I'm an asshole for impeding traffic. Momma said I deliberately drove slower to irritate him. Whatever. Watch for yourselves.

At the end he pulls up alongside me and we have an exchange of words. He calls me an asshole, threatens to drag me out the car, etc. I had to keep my cool because my mother was with me.

Whatever. The guy didn't come to a complete stop at ANY of the stop signs, so driving 5-10 below the limit is just being safe.

Assholes will be assholes no matter what you do, so ignore it.

 

This sure coulda ended differently if the timing was different... (sorry, from my funcar not my Taco)

 

Last night coming home. he did this to about 6 other vehicles. Wouldnt look at me when i pulled up next to him.
