Default Recorded a vid of a texting caused accident today

Watch vid through, then go back and watch for the view through my side window where you can see the lit up cell phone screen at top of steering wheel. He dropped phone to floor split second before impact.

I almost had a blonde chick in an SUV swerve into me while trying to text on the phone... Really, its not that ****** serious. Just call the person and put it on speaker or bluetooth.

[edit]
Side note: I drive around with a camera just like that, in case stupid **** just like this goes down.

double edge sword when you start video recording everything out there.. There's going to be a time when you get pulled over for a bs infraction and the cop is going to think "bet this guy is recording this?" and there will be no warnings given... get ready to start paying up guys...
Having said that, thanks for the videos, always entertaining lol

Thats why you hide the camera... or have the camera hide itself.

I have a setup very similar to that. Real crappy $30 camera that works good for just driving around. Cops would assume it to be a flashlight. Who the hell would think of camera when they see something like that with a 'functioning' flashlight.

I use to (lol) Race-Shift-Film, all my races. there are still a few on my Youtube account. I sometimes wouldnt get good vids due to not really caring what the vid looked like, i was more worried about what was in front of me. I TRY not to do that any longer,
