Some people are set off, looking for a place to happen.

I was passing a semi on the freeway earlier this week in my POV, doing the car speed limit of 70, while semis are limited to 65. Some *expletive* in a big crew cab dually truck must have been in an extremely important hurry to a fire or something. I saw him in my rearview hauling balls up behind me. I wasn't going to just cut back in front of the semi, so I held the left lane a little longer, signalled, and moved back to the right once there was 250ish feet between the semi and myself. Mr Dually decided to drive off the road and lay on the horn, cutting within about 10' of my truck, around me into the right lane that I was moving into, and then attempted to brake check me. All because I had the NERVE to drive the speed limit and not cut off a semi.

I've had a dashcam in my car for a long time. I just got home from being out 2 weeks and see it's hanging from its wire. The stupid suction cup that's been holding it on broke. So now I need a new one just because of the suction cup. Pisses me off.
Its helped me. I have caught people running red lights, speeding, and I was almost in an accident and was able to replay the footage to see who was in the wrong.1278PA Thanks this. -

Usually people get mad because they think you are the one that messed up...
I was heading down the highway in the right lane of two lanes and another lane opened up for an on ramp. Now I'm in the middle lane and a car comes up the ramp behind me with plenty of room to go behind and pass on the left. What do they do? They come up on the right and then slowed down to hang out right in the blind spot. For some reason they decided to put themselves in that position, ok, whatever. Now there is a lane shift for construction and we get the solid white lines... Now the right lane is ending and the car is still there. They finally sped up and moved over just before the lane ended. They felt it was necessary to tap the breaks a couple of times and turn on the left blinker to let me know that I was supposed to move over for them...
One day they will put a plastic bag over their head and suffocate because they just can't predict what will happen if they leave it on.
