Close-call thread (Dash Cam)

Copenhagen, Denmark. Near our famous Christiania area.
Well this zombie just walked out in front of me today:

You did a great job of spotting and not hitting him! Looks like his senses were somewhere else or in that bottle.

Thank U. I like to watch out the windshield when driving my car. Gotta be prepared for things like this. Good brakes helped me alot here too.

Yeah, but not a lot of people do anymore. So kudos to you for being a good, attentive driver!

It's so crazy here in Denmark how many people are driving and texting/facebooking or whatever.

I thought I was the only one with an invisible car.

This thread is so judgemental. I'm going to risk your judgement to share a close call I had a few months ago.
I was moving to the far right to exit to 95N, but traffic had come to a stop in the right lane (getting on the 95S). The Sentra(?) driver wasn't paying attention, and to avoid rear-ending the car in front, he pulled in front of me.

Wow, that's nuts!!
Good thing you were paying attention. That would have been bad.
Where was this? Mansfield or Foxboro?

 

[Laserbrain]

Mansfield, but right at the Mansfield/Foxboro line.

Good save. Guy in front of you probably did the best he could do at the time. Best to take a chance and swerve out if you know you're not going to stop in time. Of course the guy who swerved out in front of you was either following too close, and/or wasn't paying attention in the first place.

It amazes me how crazy some people can be. Been considering a dash cam for a while now.

You did a great job there! When i see stopped cars, I never go zooming by them because I have seen this happen MANY times as a LEO....

I saw a close one last Friday. From where I was, I couldn't believe they hadn't hit each other. It really looked like she drove through the SUV. Must have missed by inches. The SUV stopped, but the BMW just skooted off.

EDIT: DAMMIT. YOUTUBE KEEPS SCREWING THE POOCH ON THE EDITS. I'll edit off line and repost later below.

I hear you respond to something but don't see any SUV at any time. But there is a lot of windshield reflection and pixelation.

Holy ****. YouTube screwed up the edit, where they were supposed to cut the first 2 minutes. While it worked in preview mode, looking above, iot seems that the video is still from the start of the clip, but the sound is from 2 minutes in, where the YouTube edit was supposed to place it. Let me see if I can fix it.


EDIT: OK, re-upload and re-edited video in the link above. Let's see if the edits stay in place this time.

EDIT 2: And the YouTube edits are gone again. I'll edit tonight at home and repost it later below.
