    I drive Indy and Chicago daily and that doesn't happen too often out here. They're in too much of a hurry to drive that slow, works for me.

    That's sort of what I think I thought at the time,
    Really I thought the car behind Pokey was going to come over too, just from habit or something.
    I wish this would have happened to Scottie so I could watch his head cam video about it.

    Then he'd post in the heavy haul section again. We're trying to keep him out of there. He's a HH wannabe

    And here we have yesterday's Lane Change Hero:

    Lane Change Hero 8-14-17 shorter.gif

    I was coming off of a two lane overpass which merges with another two lane to the right. Our hero was too impatient to wait for Mr. Dump Truck to move over. ( @ad356 was that you?) So of course he darts across in front of me and blindly crosses yet another lane. Immediately after the end of the clip he moves back one lane to his left in front of the car you can see passing on my right.

    Too many energy drinks or something I suppose.

    With all these dashcams, wouldn't it be great if there was a LEO clearinghouse you could just send these clips to and they would find the drivers and give them their just rewards?

    I don't see the police caring. I see this stuff happening right in front of cops with no consequences.

    It's truly amazing that some people can even put their pants on in the morning.

    I followed a Forward Air truck through our Harbor Tunnel tonight, where 102's aren't allowed. We passed several cops.

    I thought for sure they would've grabbed him at the toll booth.
