Irving's Dash Cam Video Thread

**Irving** · 07-08-2019, 17:23

I've got enough dash cam videos that I can probably just start my own thread and keep them all in one place. I'll grab the other videos I've posted in the past and put them in here as well. **Disclaimer** I make no promises that any/every video will be super exciting like a Russian auto accident compilation. Also, this isn't exclusively for my stuff. If you guys have good dash cam videos, post them up!

Here is from today. This is Northbound Kipling looking at the I-70 overpass and you can see Eastbound traffic. At about 15 seconds (just after the RV goes by) a dump truck pulling a trailer slams into the guard rail. He subsequently looses a wheel that he expertly pins against the wall toward the end of the video. All civil engineers can celebrate because lives were saved today by that guard rail. When it happened I didn't see it, but I heard it. I was looking around trying to figure out what happened when I saw a bunch of dust coming off bridge and it looked like a big chunk of concrete was missing. Just as I was getting onto the highway thinking about how I'll need to review the video (and hoping it didn't get dropped), I saw the wheel rolling down the on-ramp.

Wow you have a lot of crap happen in front of you. I just get stupid drivers that try to hit me and then I get pissed and honk at them. I really need a train horn.

Notable things I've seen but crap camera dropped was a lady pulled over on the highway at an underpass where there isn't really a shoulder, puking out the driver door. A lifted F-250 on big tires pulling a loaded trailer coming down a hill and the front tire started wobbling in a way where you knew it was seconds until it flew off. I was passing him as it happened so I didn't see the result but I'm sure he had to come to a complete stop in the middle lane of I-25 NB right by Cabela's. One vehicle burnt to a crisp on the side of I-25, and another one completely engulfed in flames on the side of I-70 with traffic stopped for a mile behind it.

I already get to write off enough of my mileage as it is, but I wonder if someone else who drives around for a living bought a dash cam, started an LLC and corresponding YouTube channel, occasionally posted videos like this, then wrote off 100% of their miles as the business expense of collecting content for their Awesome Traffic Stuff LLC business and corresponding YouTube channel. As long as all your videos are monitized, you don't have to make any money to be a business.
