Almost hit a pedestrian. Thank you dash cam.

So I am coming to a green light to turn left and some dimwit jogs across the street when he clearly had a DO NOT CROSS sign for a long time prior. Then he yells "WHAT THE FUCK MAN" to me.

Was so pissed off at him. He should at least be wearing something reflective for god sakes. Got it all on my dash cam though. You all need to buy one of these. Knowing how messed up the law can be I am sure some lawyer would have still put me at fault.

+1 for dashcams. Everyone should have these in your car(s).

Yep, this event just convinced me to buy the same setup for my wife's car!

inktomi · 03-26-2015, 01:00 AM

What setup are you using here?

1ChrisRuck · 03-26-2015, 01:03 AM

It's a good thing you saw the idiot in time...
What BS though, he's freakin upset with you, he's an idiot!
He should've been man enough/courteous enough to look back and wave to you and say sorry since HE CAUSED YOU TO ALMOST HIT HIM. He clearly knew he was in the wrong...
Today's society has become so entitled, its not just us who drive BMW's anymore, it's everyone...

Before I get temperatures boiling, the comment about us BMW drivers was a joke

I can't wait to get my dash-cam, should be picking up my car this weekend

You clearly had the right of way, what a turd nugget.

I have the Blackvue DR650GW-2CH connected to a MultiSafer unit. Love it. I hope the next revision of the Blackvue has even higher quality recording.

That's where my lovely air horn kindly helps them hurry across the intersection

You cannot sue in New Zealand for any injury no matter how it happened no need for dash cam's.

America the land of sue and guns and now execution firing squads

sad but true!

Kristalov · 03-26-2015, 08:35 AM

Ha ha. He's probably doing his "crossfit" and can't stop. In my opinion he probably knows he's in the wrong and got embarrassed so told you off (the old switch-a-roo)

You should have Suge Knighted him, pretty sure I saw a gun

this reminds me when i was backing out of my drive way and a biker at night came flying down the sidewalk nailing the rear of my car and flew like superman over the car with his bike. the kid or who ever it was got up and kept going before i could even get out my car. i was left with a huge dent in the rear panel of the car scratching my head saying wtf. use a headlight or a flasher of some sort if you jog or ride at night... simple fix. you lucked out if you hit that guy without the cam you would have been taken to the cleaners.

PARTS@STBMW · 03-27-2015, 02:05 PM

Very cool! Great quality! Everyone must have!

ORIGIN M. · 03-29-2015, 02:26 AM

Can't be sued in America either, IF you know what you are doing.

Dash-cams are the rage now. Want to see crazy dash-cam madness, checkout youtube on places like Russia. They top everything. They all have dash-cams, so they can try to get paid. In most cases they never do... I never drive when in Russia. Never. I stay close to the Airport accordingly!

Wow yeah good thing for that dash cam.

I have one in both cars. Bmw sports a Dashcam mini 0805, and the DD has a G1W-C. Both are fantastic! Now days in my cars 2 things I cannot live without:
1. Dashcam
2. Passport 9500ix radar detector.

Without them I feel naked!
