Nearly hit from behind

[Malsua 1,422]

Last night coming home.  Was on 287 south just before the 23n exit about 5:05pm.

I saw it coming...was waiting for the bang.   Nothing happened.    That said, the dust was scuffed and there is a tiny little scratch.  I'll take a picture when it's light out today.  Instead of an ass ramming, I got it kissed instead.

Man, that was close!  I’m glad you were able to avoid the hit.....and get away with nothing more than a tap and scratch. 
 

I need to get one of those dash cams. 
 

I wasn’t so lucky earlier this year. I was on I-95N just outside of Baltimore, when I got rear ended by an 18 wheeler. I saw it coming, was able to move to the side a bit so it was a glancing blow, but it was still a hard hit. Totaled my car, but I walked away with some stiffness, and soreness.

Ugh, that sucks.   I usually leave as much space in front of me as is reasonable and I was feathering it out as I saw the vehicle coming at me.  I didn't have much left but apparently it was enough.

I hope it taught her a lesson.  I was following too closely in 91, I couldn't see ahead of the vehicle in front of me and it peeled off at the last second and two cars were dead stopped ahead after a crash.  My 91 probe nose dived under the wheels of an 80s malibu.  The left rear tire of the Malibu road up the hood and was at the windshield.

Every since then, I leave distance.  It was a good lesson.

Glad you are OK.  Lol I had a probe too.

Two things.  

1.  Opie and Anthony radio?

2.  Jeep drivers suck

1.  Anthony Cumia show with Dave Landau on Compound Media.  

2.  I'm not a fan of Jeeps either.

I didn't say you couldn't be a fan.   I just said I'm not a fan.

If you're self identifying as "sucky driver".  Ok.   I'll take your word for it.

What's a good dash cam at a good price to buy for front and back. Very confusing

[Displaced Texan 11,731]

I was wondering the same thing 

[Mr.Stu 1,916]

I gave Sandy a Street Guardian SG9663DCPRO for her birthday last year.

 

Decent quality images and records front and back simultaneously. If you don't want the GPS functionality just don't install the GPS antenna.

[Zeke 5,504]

Every time I shoot clays with @Ray Ray I worry about this.

Blackvue DR900S-2ch   You can buy it on Ebay from a couple high volume sellers that have make offer.  It'll run you $375.00

Glad your okay Mark.

Dashcams are a great way to protect yourself from dishonest drivers who will say anything to avoid being found at fault. Video won't lie.
