I nabbed a wheel once that fell off a trailer. Threw it into my van and drove down the block to where the guy had stopped, "Hey you dropped this!"

I once ran into a box that fell off a truck in front of me. This was on the highway though so I didn't stop there to check what was inside, could've been bitcoins.

once when i was driving for one of the not-a-taxi companies, there was a drat milk crate sitting in the road right before an intersection, so while the light was red i flipped on my hazards, got out, picked it up, and tossed it aside. except when you have a not a taxi company's symbol on your car and the hazards come on everyone behind you becomes a 28 days later rage zombie, so people started laying on their horns and poo poo when i did this. til they saw me throw the milk crate, and they stopped and the guy in front did that dumbass "sorry" wave we do when we're in a car well thats my story

Zero One posted:Umm... Except for the very last video I didn't see any that were the camera owner's fault. If you don't do anything to prevent something you can see happening (even if it technically isn't your fault), you are a poo poo driver. This is also why insurance providers assign blame where the police doesn't. Like mentioned, many of the dashcam people (especially if they upload more than once) go out of their way to be assholes that escalate situations. I wonder how these people think where they could have just let off the gas and let someone in, but instead chose to spend time and money having their car in for repairs after a totally avoidable accident...

This is also why insurance providers assign blame where the police doesn't. Yeah, this is what I was trying to express in my previous post. I normally enjoy these videos, but I shut this one off about half way. A little defensive driving would have saved a lot of headaches by reducing accidents into annoyances. On a related note, I have a well off work acquaintance in his late 20s who absolutely refuses to look before he crosses the street, because the law says cars have to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, and so he has the right of way. I guess I never considered that I was the silly one for calling him an idiot when he almost got hit, but i guess I'll take that possibility into consideration in the future.

laying on the horn for a good five seconds straight has the double-bonus of helping avoid a crash AND being an rear end in a top hat, i would highly recommend it

Krakkles posted:Replace your horn fuse with an auto-resetting circuit breaker for longer lasting honks. When I was an obnoxious teen I'd wire in extra horns. On vehicles with multiple horns they blow notes that sound musical together, I chose notes that didn't. Furthermore, horns could be tuned back then, so I'd detune them so that even the normally musical pair would sound bad. Never blew a fuse, but I have to think I came close sometimes.

Couple of quick ones today, a standard boring red light run, hardly worth pulling but it was shortly followed by a Tesla auto(?) driving itself into a concrete barrier (white car in the 2nd clip). Oops. https://i.imgur.com/EN0zWVM.mp4

Not sure if this is the correct thread, let me know. Got two questions about 360 surround view cameras: (1) How decent are aftermarket 360 degree surround cameras? I know for dashcams its largely pointless (since most accidents happen front/rear), but I'm more interested in the top-view camera for parking/obstacles and the blindspot view with turn-signal (2) Do most of these have integrated dashcam (or I guess they'd be install on the grille somewhere) features and are they good enough or if I also wanted a dashcam would I need to/want to get a seperate one?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APyQyAHqeZM Yesterday morning I got behind a pickup truck going ridiculously slowly. I patiently waited until the dotted yellow before passing him, and he tried to brake check me... as I was passing. Not shown is the part where he angrily sped up and tried to keep up (I was doing about 60 in a 55, he had been doing... 25 before I passed him, not just on these roads but on a few others. I'd been the fourth car in line behind him but a couple of others went straight on a previous road while we both turned) CornHolio fucked around with this message at 14:35 on Mar 3, 2021 |

CornHolio posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APyQyAHqeZM I honestly think you just startled him. I personally put on my turn signal and creep to the left for a few seconds so it's prominently in their left mirror. People react in all sorts of funny ways when you pass them in the passing zone. I've learned the hard way while riding motorcycles

Godholio posted:That does not look like a 55mph road. After the curve it's open country road for miles. Welcome to mid-Indiana. Before the curve, for a brief section it's 35 due to the houses so I maintained my distance while he did 30. I didn't startle him, judging by his speeding way up and trying to match my speed (I don't know what he was trying to do, honestly). He was just being a dick.

AFewBricksShy posted:Pepe I get, but I'm about to be disappointed in humanity again when I look up what NPC memes are, aren't I? It's generally used to dehumanize anyone who doesn't disagree with the meme-maker, casting them as someone with no more agency than an NPC in a game, just mindlessly repeating what they've been told to say. You can see why it appeals to the alt-right.

I'd classify this as two dicks being dicks to each other
