Why you should drive with a dash cam

This Civic is what I bought after my TSX was totaled in 2010. Well, now my Civic is totaled. Guy driving tried to say I brake checked him. Told him I have the whole thing recorded, he shut up.

Was that a phone you were recording with? And your car was totaled from that hit? How much damage?

Yes, my car is totaled. It has 165K miles on it, but sustained frame damage.

Wow. I doubt you want to get rear ended. A bumper is not worth your life.

That retard was following way too closely and not paying attention to what was to the left and in front of him. Besides, it was raining and he either was driving too freaking fast for conditions or was distracted by his cell like most other drivers (douche).

Hope you're not injured.

That dude was obviously not paying attention and following too close. He got what he deserved. Don't settle with the insurance company about personal injury yet.

That wont be for a while. Have to start treatment all over again Plus I got an attorney because injuries are far worse than last time.

No. My camera has a 16GB SD card. So I just delete videos when I get to the place I am going.

Glad your alright, but dang. I was watching and wondering when and it made me jump just seeing it. Never thought of running a camera all the time.
