Irving's Dash Cam Video Thread

[brutal]

I've been driving for 50 years, driven thousands of miles all over the US for work, seen a lot of bizarre things. Accidents, stupid shit, things flying through the air - hard to remember them all, won't even try to explain them. Many times I wish I'd had vehicle cameras, which hadn't even been invented.

Nowadays, I'm just thankful that my driving is minimal, and my exposure to all that is far smaller.

I wasn't in Colorado long as I recall, but driving down I-25 SB one day heading home after a day on the road, hauling ass in the left lane and here comes a NB car across the center barrier doing end-over flips right heading right for me near 6 or 8th ave area. Missed me by >< that much.

Yeesh! Scariest experience of mine was about 3am, eastbound on I-70, coming up Vail Pass in a blizzard. Suddenly, right in front of me, was a jacknifed semi, sliding backwards down I-70. I was already in the left lane, so I was able to dart left against the wall and just missed the tractor. I can still see the drive wheels spinning, trying to get traction.

Came too close that night. If I'd been in the right lane it would have been bad. In a Jeep Liberty vs a jacknifed truck......

I got a cheap AEE Action cam (under $30) with enough storage space to cover about 2days of filming. Only thing is that I need to microusb plugged to run all day. quality is not actually bad. Only thing is that I need to manually turn it on and off. Sometimes I forget to do it.

Not videos, but the other day I saw this guy that looked like he tried to cut from I-270 to I-70 and got stuck in the mud. So close...



Saw this guy today on I-25. Not sure what this is about, but I have a feeling it is someone that is super salty about having been rear-ended in the past.

I would have thought Ferrier.

[Irving]

I could see that. Just never seen it before and couldn't think of a trade that would drive around like that.

This thread should be a reminder to turn on the dash (action) cam every day. I forgot today.

Reason I bought the cam was that I got a ticket which I did not deserve.

[ChickNorris]

The metal frame on the right in the back window reminds me of a stubby welding cart/hand truck.

Plus the Texas sticker. Everyone knows that everyone in Texas knows all about horses.

Idk about that.
Im not even sure a welding 'cart' & ferrier go together.
I think ferriers forge weld, maybe.
