My wife and I have Garmin combination dash camera / GPS units. They are always on when we are driving. Except today. I drove her car to Costco while she was updating the GPS maps, so the unit was not in the car.

Typical vicious traffic on a Friday afternoon, everybody seems to be in a hurry, gotta get that weekend stuff started right now. I was in a 35 mph zone in a residential area, driving maybe a mile or three over the speed limit. Toyota Camry (white one, you gotta watch out for those) driven by a female millennial in a big hurry comes up behind me at a high rate of velocity. She gets right on my back bumper and starts blasting her horn.

Nope, I'm already slightly over the speed limit, I'm not going to go any faster. I don't need a ticket just because you're in a hurry.

I approach an intersection where there is a left turn lane. She uses the left turn lane as a passing lane, zooms around me while offering a one-finger salute, then when she is in front of me, slams on her brakes.

She's in a big hurry to get someplace important, but she has time to fuck around like this. The one day that I'm driving without a dash camera. Worst part, you are not allowed to shoot them.

Nah, I can't find anybody older than me, to abuse.

She's in a hurry to get to the scene of her accident.

Follow her, call the cops, maybe they'll take care of her.

If not, shoot her anyway.

I gotta get a dash cam, and a rear-view cam as well!

My way of looking at it too!

Not allowed. I looked it up again just to make sure, but nope, not allowed. Used to be OK, but George Zimmerman screwed it up for the rest of us.

The only consolation that I can offer is that these are the tide pod eating morons that fall off cliffs while taking selfies and with any luck this will happen to her before she further pollutes the gene pool.

Otherwise, I can only hope that when she is involved in an accident it will be a single car affair involving a concrete pillar at a high rate of speed.

Sometimes I like the idea of having a GAU mounted on the front of my truck.

My ex drives a white Toyota...

I pulled out in front of a guy a few months back, at least I think I did because he flew up behind me right after i made the turn and hit his horn.. I was never aware of the car until I heard the horn blow.. we get out on the main road and he throws me the bird... I kind of expected it but then I started thinking... you know if I did what I suspect I did then it was a pure accident I had no idea I was pulling out in front of the guy... and so why is he throwing me the finger for doing something unintentional? That is not 'logical'. When people like the woman described tail gate me... I just slow down to below the posted speed limit and tap my brakes..... that really makes them happy.

Despite my whining about not being allowed to shoot them, I an NOT going to deliberately do anything that could cause a confrontation when I'm packing heat. Nor is there anything to be gained by descending to their level.

She was in Altamonte Springs yesterday?

I pull over and wave them on. I don’t like having someone behind me who’s driving like an idiot so the quicker they’re off my ass the better. It’s only happened a couple times but it’s definitely a real hoot to come across them pulled over getting a ticket a few miles down the road and know I didn’t spoil the moment for them.

I do the same. Slow to a crawl, pull over, let them by. They inevitably speed up again, and that clears the road for me. No worries about police radar so long as they're in sight.

I've had my cam for two weeks and already think I should've spent extra for a setup with a rear cam.

You mean you need to mount a truck to your GAU, correct?

You are a smart man.

Near my home there is a street I travel frequently that is two lanes with a double yellow line. Not once, but twice, and one of those times with three other cars behind me, I have been passed on this stretch. I was not going slow, I was doing or slightly exceeding the 40 mph speed limit. The road has an unobstructed view at this point, but on the opposite (to my direction of travel) side there are a number of private driveways including a trailer park. I shudder to think what might have happened if somebody had pulled out of one of those driveways at the same time these jerks were passing.

0 accountability has created this horse shit...
Law applies to everyone else, least that’s what their phone says while they are driving distracted
