You are correct, even if you take my car out of the situation, she is incorrect to make a left turn as the two cars are waiting to turn left onto the plaza, so regardless she had no clue of the rules of the road, or eyes for that matter. (this was discussed by everyone who saw the video lol)

Yeah, I've seen the video 50 times or so now, and I'm not sure if by me honking made her accelerate faster

That looks like an F to me, well the hood and the fenders atleast. Maybe it's the wheels throwing off everybody.

Here you go guys, that's the camera I have, the power cable is nice and long so it's easy to wire it around the headliner/A pillar to the cigg lighter.

It looks cheaper now.. $75 CAD.. I bought it for $112 two months ago, so this looks like a great deal for a 720p cam.

I'll find the link to the camera in a bit and post it up for you guys.
I would love to make a trip back to Toronto's Chinatown. Im Vietnamese so gotta love the asian community. Yeah Ill definitely let you know once i decide on a date. It will be a long drive somewhere between 14-16 hours straight driving. But keep us updated on how the repair goes.

Wow what luck to ram into another IS. Was she at least hot? Lol. The camera comes in super handy lucky you have it installed. Good luck with the fix though. Doesn't look like anything too major so you'll be back in no time.

Sorry to see this happen, but as long as everyone was okay. Good thing you had the camera...they should pay you to advertise for them

Edit: Is this the same camera? http://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Dashbo...1670879&sr=8-7 If so, it's a lot cheaper.

It's scary for me to watch that video since I got into an accident a few days ago. Same thing happened where the other person hit my passenger front but I got bumper ripped off along with everything in the front end. I'm doing to repairs myself with parts from Sewell and eBay for about $1000. Glad you're okay and it's nothing too serious.

She was another university student, great way to get somebody's number

Yeah when I got out of the car, I was ready to yell at her for being so ... but when she got out she was already crying so I just gave her the wtf look... I kinda feel bad for calling the police and getting her ticketed, but hopefully she learns from this.
