This is why I bought my dashcam!

This is what I do when in traffic. I don't block people's driveways or side roads. If I'm sitting in traffic and a vehicle wants to turn left from a side road I will always get their attention to let them know if the coast is clear. I can see the opposing traffic better than them.

I'm not sure. The guy who fell wasn't responsive for about 5 minutes. I checked his breathing/pulse right after the video ends and he was doing ok. By the time I left he was talking to the paramedics so I think he either has a head injury or was just putting on a ($$$) show. If so, bravo on the flop 
The guy in the SUV went to the hospital. I don't think he was in critical condition or anything, but he was definitely banged up and wasn't walking. I didn't really get a good impression of his condition though because I was with the other guy.

Almost happened to me the other day. A guy turning left on the other side of the road thought he could beat a semi truck who was slow to launch going straight from a green light. I was going straight from the lane to the right of the semi, and If I was going 2 mph faster I would've smoked the guy turning. It wouldn't have been pretty, I was doing 40mph in a pickup and he was in a tercel. I would've flattened him.
I have a BlackVue camera but it wasn't mounted at the time, since I got a new windshield.

Similar circumstances led to my motorcycle accident. People were allowing cross traffic through at a dangerous place and I came through in the turn lane and had a pickup cross in front of me.
I don't allow traffic to cross in front of me if I can help it.

Holy crap, that dude dropped like a rock!
My dash cam is looping whenever the ignition is on too. Thinking about getting one to look out the rear as well.
You sure you want GPS label on the vid? I tuned mine off. Last thing I need is video evidence of me going 10 over if there's a problem :|

I have my sony action cam, after having a brand new gm suv come off a car hauler 100 meters in front of me while doing 120kph on the highway i realized how much these things could help in insurance cases if i did happen to get hit or wreck something.
I once seen a person texting while driving in city traffic , told my wife switch lanes and then watched the texter cause a chain reaction accident at a red light. The guy didnt look up from his phone untill after he smashed into the stoped minivan in front of him, wich slamed into the small car in front of it wich got pinned between a one ton.
So much stupid can be recorded
