6FLU532

Here's coming South on the 5 at the point where the exit lane for the 60 picks up. Pay attention to the 2nd car in front of me, you'll see them drift halfway into that lane... then back. Very shortly after this, they head over to the right and lay on their brakes. I have no idea what some people do when they should be driving.

Another Bicycle

Once again, here we have a bicyclist with no regard for the law, or anyone else on the road. First, he's going right down the middle of the lane in violation of CVC 21202. Next he's splitting lanes. I know that splitting lanes isn't illegal for motorcycles, but I'm pretty sure it would be considered unsafe if there were any law around. Finally, he blows through the red light.

Because the law doesn't apply to bicycles.

What is it with people who drive Nissans? I know there are a lot of them out there, but it doesn't seem like more than you see Hondas or Toyotas, but it seems like an inordinate amount of them I see are driven badly, dangerously and illegally.

Perfect case in point here. This is Northbound on the 5 at the transition to the Northbound 710. If you don't know, this is one of those transitions that exit to the left side. The lane picks up around 1/4 mile before the actual transition. You can see, the traffic is backing up onto the transition (they're doing construction on the 710, and it's most always jacked) and this takes place within a couple hundred feet of the split. This tool comes cutting in where there isn't sufficient space and then slams on his brakes. No, signalling your intentions while you are coming up from behind me doesn't make it allright. It was a close thing, just the kind of thing I wanted to get a dash cam for!

7GCM708

Saw this the other morning. It's pretty amazing how fast he's coming up on the truck at first, then he does some excellent tail gating. Even though there's no room to pass, he illegally crosses the double yellow line... and tail gates someone else! Crosses it back in behind the truck. I edited out probably close to five minutes, then he crosses the double yellow AGAIN exiting off camera, then back. That's four times! I couldn't be 100% sure, but it looked like he (surprisingly) didn't even have a passenger.

7DCH880

Here's a prime example on a cut off. There was less than a car length between our cars, doing around 60 MPH. At this distance, even my low resolution camera, his license plate was easily readable. Of course, he couldn't bother to use his signal, and no sooner is he in front of me than he's on his brakes. Just a few seconds after the end of this clip, he did the same thing to the guy in the next lane to the right, but that wasn't easily seen from my cam.

6VVT269

Just driving along & this Mercedes does this U-turn in front of me. I don't have a problem with that, so long as it'd done safely... that is, where there is enough room before any oncoming traffic! As you can see, there isn't. The topper to this is as I swerve around them, they honk at me! What's wrong with people?
