On coming car in my lane! (Dashcam vid)

[JEDI]

It looked like he tried to pass the other car at the top of the hill where he can't know if any cars are on the other side of the hill.
Jesus Christ WTF!?!?!

Good thing you were paying attention.

😵

Almost like those lines in the middle mean something.

Good reactions.

 

[IronWing]

That'll wake you right up. Glad you reacted correctly and saved both your lives.

Skip to about 2:30 for those of you who don't want to sit through an unnecessarily long and boring video.

Missed your chance to rake the side of their car, get a new car on them and jack up their insurance rates.

 

[Exterous]

Eesh that was close. If that had been me there would have been a very loud and very profane commentary on the situation

 

[Captante]

Yikes! 😳

 

[MtnMan]

One reason I invested in dash cams for all our vehicles.

um.. In my OP, did you not see where to skip to?

 

[MrSquished]

Jesus. Nice move to avoid that.

What a total asshole that guy is. Fucking hope karma bites them in the ass

Shit I might not have read past the link. FML

 

[skyking]

you were so lucky to be at an intersection, nice going!
I had that happen on an open stretch of road two weeks ago, where you could plainly see there was not enough room. I got on the brakes hard and we still had 3 cars in the same 100' of road. I had little shoulder to work with and a 5' deep ditch. I guess I would have had a new work truck if I survived.

 

[Fenixgoon]

yikes. good reaction.

 

[kt]

Yikes, hope you had your brown pants on.

Freaking got my heart beating and I'm just sitting here driving a computer!

Excellent driving @JEDI !

This explains why you are still here:

Quantum immortality - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't go testing it out any further. Already many parallel universe ATOTs have lost you. 😉

 

[SKORPI0]

That driver will end up killing someone or getting killed too if they keep doing that. 🙄

 

[Red Squirrel]

Woah, that could have been easy to miss with that small hill too. Good reaction time.

People are dumb for passing when there's not clear visibility.

 

[Artorias]

Maybe have the local police clean up the video and get the license plate? That assholes doesn't deserve a license, that's how you kill people.

Downloaded the 720p video and viewed frame by frame. Not the ideal conditions, cars too fast and it was dark. License plate was a blurr.

 

[JEDI]

yeah!

i could feel the car losing control as i hit my brakes hard and swerved out of the way.
i probably would have lost control if it wasnt the asphalt intersection and went into the grassy shoulder 😱

Downloaded the 720p video and viewed frame by frame. Not the ideal conditions, cars too fast and it was dark. License plate was a blurr.

my dashcam can do 1080p (unknown fps) and 720p at 60fps. (vid in OP is 720p @30fps)

Which would have a better chance in capturing the license plate?
