I do hope you understand you are approaching from 2 lanes over in his blind spot right ?

I do, but it doesn't mean he can't double check his blind spot. he had time to turn his head more and check his blind spot.

PS: you can't hear very well I had my windows down. but I honked twice and he was literally next to me (less than a foot) and he didn't care he didn't move back he kept going coming on me.

Most people don't fucking know how to adjust mirrors.
I have people have all three mirrors pointing right behind the car.

For those that live in Texas, what camera's are you running ? I spent a couple of hours the other day looking up different systems and all of them appeared to have crap reviews on Amazon. It seems like no one has a camera that can handle the heat.

Thinkware 770
Blackvue 750 and 650 S

I'm looking for a good quality 2 ch system w/ parking mode and crash/bump sensors.

I have a Thinkware F750 flashed like a F770 (look at my signature) I spent some time comparing too and Thinkware seems to be better at night IMHO...

Have a 770 with front and rear cameras since August. Great dash-cam. No first hand knowledge of those others but hear good things. I'd be happy with any of those.

Texas Law states the below:


§545.061 - DRIVING ON MULTIPLE-LANE ROADWAY
On a roadway divided into three or more lanes and providing for one-way movement of traffic, an operator entering a lane of traffic from a lane to the right shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle entering the same lane of traffic from a lane to the left.

The above says that if both of you were to have blinkers on at the same time trying to enter the center lane no matter who is moving first or faster, the left to center lane vehicle will always have the right away.

In this case, you were already in the lane but did approach a vehicle's blind spot while it was clearly visible they had the intent to change lanes and you IMO aggressively blocked a vehicle.

Thanks for the reminder. I could've been more "aggressive" if I wanted to and gun it but I didn't. TBH I saw his blinker at the last moment when my wife noticed it. If you pause the video as soon as I'm in the lane technically I wasn't really in his blind spot. Then when we were next to eat other he forced the way and that's why I swerved. I'm also tired of cruisers on the left lane so most of the time I'm in the middle lane and use the left to pass.

Maybe I've become inured to poor drivers, but I've watched most of these videos and don't see much I don't experience every day.

I have to take medication to make sure I don't just jump out of my car and throw a 5 year old tantrum in the middle of the road.

I'm not sure why, but crazy motorcyclists seem to be drawn to my GT350. First one in the video passed at about 70 on a double solid line (I was doing 45 in a 45 in the video as cops like to camp on that road) and on the second one, the guy passed two cars on a double solid (I was car #3) and he's lucky I didn't turn into him! This was within 10 minutes of each other on different roads.

I have grown to hate motorcyclists due to crap like this.. they are always aggressive around my car for some reason. Total respect for the ones that drive civilized, but they seem to be the minority.

Wow. Screw that second guy. That's how you get killed on a motorcycle, especially since most people aren't going to check their mirrors when making a turn like that.
