I'd have been tempted to pit maneuver that dipsh!t for the safety of the public!
No sympathy for a drunk driver whatsoever.
Who knows. In that part of the county you cant get a cell signal even with verizonnone.
I didnt hear the guy on the phone with dispatch, did he make the call?
I've been seriously thinking about getting one. Last Friday I was on 64 near Siler City getting on to 421. This idiot, who just previously had to get in front of me merging in from the left lane, suddenly pulls out of the straight lane and into the turning lane forcing me to stop, hard. It wouldn't have been a case of me failing to control, but her pulling out right into traffic but a dash cam would probably have been required to prove it.That settles it... I'm getting a dashcam.

I recall seeing a recent review of them and some models have a front and rear camera.Might as well buy two when you do. As soon as you get one facing forward, you're going to want one facing rear too.
Pretty sure @Qball has some good experience with dashcams if my memory serves me. I *think* I remember a good thread on it. My apologies Qball if I am wrong...
Sh*t like that rates an ass beating.
I'm a fairly compassionate dude, but any and all injuries the driver sustained in the crash was deserved.

Yep the river valley acts like a dead zone in several spotsI work on that road, less than a mile from where that video started. I get zero AT&T signal so Ikarus is right.
So where's the East German judge???
Well, this answered my question. I was wondering why I didn't hear the driver calling 911 and asking for the Highway Patrol, NOW!.I work on that road, less than a mile from where that video started. I get zero AT&T signal so Ikarus is right
Too bad he wasn't driving a ford, it would've fallen apart after the first guard rail.
That settles it... I'm getting a dashcam.
Ida been on the phone instead of the camera and had nothibg to show for it.
What is *HP?yeah we can armchair this, but to what point... oh well.. your video did a service, thank you, but I'm pretty sure I would have *HP this ass after just a bit of video 'proof'
it will amaze you how fast response can occur
About 2000 i had a ford about clip me on I85 north of Salisbury... watched this fool go from one median to other... I had enough when they reached the 'old' bridge across the yadkin...
*hp, was on phone with them with description and plate# they told me to keep safe distance and take no chances....
There was the 'split' above Bills... was on phone and informed them he went i85 business.. dispatcher said patrolman was about 6 miles away...
I followed and car, it took green needles exit, then left on old 29.. I lost distance from the car until i saw it turn off tyro road.. at that point dispatcher said patrol was at west center st (lex bbq) and on the way...
was not long after they told me patrol was turning on tyro road, and I told them what car I was in... so he did not think of nabbing ME....
at the end of this road it 'tees' with a left or right turn possible only...
that patrol car went by me in a blur... and there was no hesitation as he made a right turn (think the plate was run to a residence address)...
I signed off and let em go at it.. never really found out what happened.....
*hp works.
What is *HP?
