Why you get a dashcam

[Heavy]

Ok. Thanks all for the advice. I just assumed that since my agent was notified and I gave them the other drivers info and insurance info that they would be involved in this and not just sit back and continue to accept my money with no real effort to be involved in the goings on.

Once I had a fixed or new truck I was planning to PM hoosierdoc and ask him about his dash cam and go from there...

What video did you watch? The blond IS THE DRIVER who got out of her car, and in ENGLISH told the "motorcyclist" that she had it all on camera.

I saw her come from the right side and forgot that drivers may not drive on the left side.

Nope. Filing a claim is different than notifying for proof of insurance. They will not automatically file a claim for you because some people would rather deal with the other driver's insurance and not have to pay the deductible out of pocket up front. Sometimes that works fine, sometimes it backfires.

Just to reemphasize, you folks do understand the real reason we are discussing this, right? The real reason for the problem?

It's not only the heathens looking for a free ride. It's the "personal injury" vultures seeking co-conspirators to do the same.

It's more expensive than those Russian ones, but I have this one. I can read and understand the directions. Easy to use.

OK....I turned on the sound this time......I think she should have gotten the Police on scene and then showed them the camera.

Yep. I was riding with my boss years ago and she didnt see the turn lane folks making a left in front of us as she turned right. Glancing blow to their rear passenger door on the corner of her bumper. (more of a scrape than a hit) Nothing major. In fact, my boss didnt even fix her truck. (Dodge Durango) She had her dad simply pop the corner of the bumper back out. Its a little wrinkled but OK. They had the slightest sheet metal damage.

Fast forward a year and all in the car were suing her claiming they suffer from debilitating pain and are unable to work now. They sure didnt have any problems making a big scene about how the cop was letting her off without even a ticket because she was white. (He refused to find fault because they were last in line and possibly turning on a yellow... even though my boss was possibly in the wrong) We tried to leave but the officer was parked behind the truck while the other driver was argung with him. Finally after about 5 minutes of her shenanigans she was told either she gets back in the car and goes about her evening, or SHE would be cited.

It also didnt help her case with the officer when 911 told us to move our cars to a safe place in a parking lot since we were blocking traffic, but the lady flatly refused when I told her what the police told us both to do. (we couldnt get around her due to traffic so we could do as we were told) Cop was PISSED when he got behind us and found out why we hadnt moved.

Luckily I took pics of their car so it was obvious that they were full of it. 18 months of wrangling later and two lawyers on their end the insurance company paid them to go away. I dont recall the dollar amount, but it probably paid the lawyers and left them with enough to buy a used car. It was nowhere near what they were asking for.

Pretty good price MileHigh.

I've got a ROAV made by Anker. It was $80 as an Amazon add-on when I bought some phone chargers. I like it. You can view the videos via Wi-Fi using an app for your phone.
