Dash Cam Captures of Human Stupidity

Same, if someone has a problem with constructive criticism then they are probably an entitled prick.

 

Oh I agree. But I was just stating that it is in fact kinda like playing Russian roulette when using your horn. Never knowing if you're gonna be a victim of road rage because of it. I nearly rear ended the guy that brake checked me, and I'm not sure if I could've won that even though it was on camera. Still a failure to control vehicle I'd imagine.

 

I keep my road rage deterrent with me at all times, I've only had to use it once, it worked. It's also kept me from getting mugged at least once.

 

Actually, a road rage incident a few years back is what prompted me to finally get my ccw. A guy chased me through a residential area until I got stuck behind a car, got out of his truck and approached mine. I slammed it in reverse, hopping a curb, and back the other way.

I have to say I was quite shaken. Had no clue what his intentions were.. I did nothing to him besides slow down to the speed limit(as i was already doing 10 over) as he was tailgating me, in hopes he would just pass me. He did pass after traffic finally allowed it. But continued to slow down in front of me after that like I did to him, and flipped me off repeatedly, all while being forced on his ass well below the speed limit. Then as I turned in to a community he turned around and continued to follow me and chase me as I sped up to try and lose him. That's when he parked next to me and got out yelling and I fled in reverse..

So yeah, never again will I be caught off guard.. Haven't had the need to use a show of force or anything like that since though. But you never Fucking know. Crazy ass people out there..

Edit: and on top of that, reason to have a dash cam for those types of things including wrecks And being wrongfully ticketed. Which my last wreck was like an ongoing two year ordeal with insurance AND being sued, that finally ended just recently.

 

Oddly enough, the only time I needed it to deter road rage, I still have no idea what got him all worked up. I was just going home from work on a normal road. I was going the same speed as everyone else, he decides to tailgate, t gen whip around me and swerve into my lane to brake check me, eventually ended up behind me again, gun went up, he disappeared.
I had another instance where I was walking to my truck across an empty parking lot at about 8PM and some beat up old clunker was following me with a couple guys in it, diagonally across the parking lot, going my walking speed. I just lifted my shirt, put my hand on my gun, lifted it slightly and watched them speed of in a different direction.
I hope I never need to do anything more than that, but I'd rather be prepared.
I've had several co-workers have similar encounters, one had a gun pulled on him at a red light for no reason. Another was just getting tacos (in the shady part of town) some cholo walks up and lifts his shirt to show his gun, my buddy raises his and points it at the guy who immediately raises his hands and walks away.

 

You shouldn't carry one of those, that's just not right in a civilized society.

You should really carry something that holds more than a handful of rounds and won't jam, like a Glock

 

My Glock carries the same number of rounds and jams more than the 1911.

 

After a 12hr shift....
Skip to minute 1, unless you would like to hear me cover some corridos..

My front driver tire locked up. I wouod have hit the Ford and the suv behind me would have plowed into me.

Good thing you were paying attention! Glad you're alright.

 

Holy butt pucker! And awesome moves by all the drivers involved by moving to the sides allowing you that extra room. Even though it was probly coincidence, and some luck.

 

I was just giving you a hard time. That's kinda funny though. It's the opposite of the stereotype

 

Ah, the Texas big city. Ride the brakes when merging onto the highway! It's a great plan!

And trigger your anti-lock at the first sign of brake lights, especially if it's not in your lane.

Artificial traffic jams, ya bet! Everything is bigger in Texas!

 

I appreciate both of them for their strengths. I carry the 1911 as a deterrent, it's all black and full size, most people don't want to get involved with that. And it's a good thing AZ allows open carry, concealing it isn't easy.

 

I had to pull my pea shooter out once, with a taxi driver, just laid it on a dark dash and told the douche to look. He made sure I saw him unload his 38, popped his bubble. It was nickle plated, 6" long, and spit out 357s.

 

Stupid drivers trying to get me.

 

What a dipshit!!!

 

I just had a wreck back in November. While relatively minor, I still got hurt and required surgery and rehab. I don't care to repeat that.

 

Asshole BMW driver in a hurry. He cuts off a guy as we transfer from I17 to Loop 101, then overtakes me and passes me and another car after our lanes have already merged. Then he speeds along the ramp only to end up in bumper to bumper traffic. If he just stayed put, he would have never had to slow down. First time trying to use my 2 channel dashcam video. Sorry for the crappy editing. I noticed afterward the audio (horn) is out of sync *shrug* Also, I did a poor job mounting the rear cam. The vertical tear looking thing to the right is my crappy tint. I need to remount it, but I don't have another sticker mount.

whenever I'm in a lane that has another lane merge into mine, I always watch my rearview for someone trying to pull some shit like that. If they do, I happily put my car in the way of theirs so they can't go anywhere. Really brightens my day!

 

Not to promote violence but that right side mirror, while he was stopped would be potential baseball bat worthy...
