So, there I was, on my way home after a days work, when Mark decided to become famous by hitting my back bumper with his tire as he sped across lanes from the parking lot to the turn lanes, across 3 lanes. Then he decided to deny it... until I told him it's on dash cam, my dash cam, and pointed to it.

 

the damage done



the truck that did it


compare the above and the below, that's how you can see the paint transferred to the above. 



and this is the driver who still won't admit it, he won't admit his tire rubbed my car as he cut around my car too close, to get across the lanes to the turn lanes on the far side of my car from the parking lot 


here you can see that I  snapped a photo as he got to the intersection on my left... and it shows my position in the center lane of the street. 

So, what did I do about it? Follow him, get to hear 30 minutes of bullshit denial, then he calls his insurance company, they told him the same thing I did, exchange info, and leave. Then he calls the cops to get them to show up, and they tell him the same thing I told him, cops don't show to minor bullshit, if there is no injury, they don't arrive on scene, exchange info, and leave. 

FINALLY he got the message, and though he insisted on getting my drivers license and insurance (what could he possibly need it for when he denies he hit my car with his tire? Lol) but fine, whatever, then he finally relented and showed me his license and insurance.

He didn't think to ask, how I could prove that there wasn't that tire mark on my car before today, but, I happened to just get my car from the dealership 2 days ago, and took photos of it. HA! 

So, One more time, I recommend to all of you, get a dash cam, one that records video and audio

  2. Seems typical of these wanks that buy a 4wd and think they're king of the road. Don't worry,we have more than our share of them here in Aus too.I speak with history bein a 4wd'ver since 1968.Serious off roading and outback travel;probably forgotten more than these suburban heroes will ever get close to.All kitted out out with there sand bog tracks,bull bars,massive mud terrain tyres(bugger all of that in Aus.) etc. etc.....

  3. I like the Garmin dashcam, its not the greatest video but its the most user friendly, easy to blue tooth the video to your phone to show to the responding officers or to the other driver.
