Hmmm... second video gets two strikes... 1: The logo looks a lot like it says "Dick Dancer" ... 2: He calls himself a "Motovlogger". Gold star for content though.

You should never do what the motorcyclist did. If he had the tag then why chase the car? :shrug: He could have caused a bigger accident in the chasing of the damaged car. He himself almost hit the front bumper that came off in the chase. I guess hid sight was 20/20.

It's not that simple.

I followed/chased a hit and run driver in '92 in my Syclone. Eventually he pulled into a business; seeing a police car coming our way I blocked the only exit so he couldn't leave and flagged down the cop. The driver came at me and the cop with a heavy chain and she had to call for backup while holding him back by threatening to shoot him.

The cops seemed annoyed that I didn't just report the plate and I asked what would happen if I did that and they said they would call or "possibly" send someone to the address of the registered owner. I asked what happens if the owner claims someone else was driving and I was told probably nothing from a criminal standpoint.

And if the driver had had an accident because he was being chased by the motorcycle who would be to blame if someone innocent was injured or killed by his actions? The motorcyclists would be to blame and this is why the cops do not condone this. You are trying to be a good Samaritan and I understand the need, but you are interjecting yourself into a law enforcement situation.

What took the cops so long to get there ... all on a doughnut break?

Syclone? So what you're saying is he had no chance of ever getting away from you in your legendary, badass, AWD rocket ship..

Was a problem. Fortunately he didn't turn any of the many times I couldn't keep from flying by him. ;)

Guy on a wheelchair/scooter thing hits me crossing the sidewalk. About 30 seconds into the videos. They called the cops and said I was running a red light and they had a green. Thank GOD for the dashcam - where I live if you are making a left and get into an accident you are always screwed.

Guy was okay and it could have been a lot worse.

My car's bumper separated a bit from the rear quarter - just the clips needed to be reattached.

He didn't see you?

 

[Trackaholic]

Wow, that guy was lucky it wasn't the Suburban or whatever in front of you that hit him.

Also could have been shot, but the Police did not seem to give a dam, even the cop at the end, seemed as if he did not want to be there,

The scooter driver was mentally challenged as well as disabled. Communication after the accident was difficult but ya it could have been a LOT worse for them.

 

[Asharus]

wow, so that guy was mentally challenged but still had the mental capacity to openly lie to the police. yeah, good thing you had a dash cam. this is why everyone should have one.
