My Hero :-(
I was shoulder checking as I moved over and, by the time I saw the cone, it was too late to react to fully avoid the cone, so I tried to straddle it. Bad idea. The splash guard (the black plastic under the front of the car) was already cracked from getting hung on high curbs. At first I didn't realize the bumper part was cracked. Oh well. The car has 143,000 miles on it and that plastic bumper was already a bit damaged.

Texting and Driving - Near Collision
This happened on Nov 10, 2015. This lady was texting, driving with high beams on, swerving, randomly braking, and speeding up and slowing down randomly. She was obviously paying more attention to her phone than the road. Almost ended badly.
I didn't have a rear camera at the time. This was my first major incident captured on dashcam.

Protecting Yourself from Road Rage
Educate yourself!
It took me long enough to do this video. It may not look like it, but I started working on this video a month ago, off and on. Shooting the footage is the hardest part. I did around 10 takes for each segment before I got something close to what I was envisioning in my head. Then all the multiple takes on the voice over. Ugh. It's harder than it looks.
Road Rage footage taken from these sources:

Tin Can Sandwich... Almost
June 14, 2016. I was almost turned into the creamy filling of a tin can sandwich this morning. I didn't have a rear camera at the time. I got one shortly after.

A little bit of Road Rage on my drive home today. Luckily it didn't escalate to the point of injury.
