Default So many Toyota's! 10 min video of bad drivers

Not extreme but if you watch closely, you will see almost every bad driver in this video is a Toyota or Lexus. No crashes in this video, FYI. Enjoy!

This is why I can't be a cop.

I would beat these bad drivers to a bloody pulp before I give them a ticket.

I'd kick their nuts or vagina so it would help prevent them from breeding!

That guy filling his white van on the inside lane was just crazy and even asking to be hit

Pretty much it's your typical impatient CA drivers or your super slow poke one

These are fairly tame one.

1:05 theres a GS and he/she a terrible driver.

thank god its not modded haha.

honestly though this is pretty typical of CA driving. I've made it a habit to let people do their stupidity and avoid them all together. Don't want a person slamming into me without insurance. This video reminds me I need a go pro in case some BS like this happens to me.

go pro is overkill and not a good dash camera. much cheaper / smaller ones on ebay. i am using it every day in my nsx, not taking chances

thats right Henry! How could I forgot you got a new nsx what brand would u recommend? and does it tape over or what memory card storage does it use? how is it mounted? and how it is powered?

either way, a lot of the video has people changing lanes then for some reason slamming on the breaks, and is a good reason why i dont tail gate anyone on the freeways in SOCAL anymore.

when you change lanes speed up people! (or at the very least keep your speed)

there was another thread on people in front (in traffic) just put car in reverse and hit you, and then scam money out of you. for my protection i just had to get one. you never know when someone is going to pull a quick one on you.

i got mine from taiwan through a friend but you can find similar ones on ebay. they use suction cups just like gopro, but lighter / smaller. you can use the cigarette lighter as power source, or you can always hardwire. you put in a memory card (i recommend 8gb or larger) and it will just loop over when it gets full. it will chop video into 2min chunks or so making it easier to retrieve certain part of the driving.

i would recommend a few things
1) get one with LCD screen, so you know the exact angle you are shooting
2) get one with status light so when you are driving you know it's powered up
3) get one that powers up and start recording as soon as car starts, and once it detects car shut off, it shuts off as well
4) get one that's HD (720p)
5) get one that has GOOD night vision (a lot of light sensors up front) so even in night driving it captures everything

mine is around 80 bucks, good investment i say
