Gee, and I thought it was because he didn't see me, what with staring raptly at his own reflection in his rear view mirror.

At least it wasn't a soccer ball.

Yes, that could be messy.

why do you video yourself driving?

I drive about 30k miles a yr, and if there is almost enough space between you and the car infront of you someone will take it. Think most cars have turn signals as an option now days.

I know you've probably said it before, but what's your camera setup? Got a pic?

I got broadsided while turning into a parking lot, some years back, and was told by my insurance company that I really should have been held 100% at fault, and was lucky that under the no fault rules I could only be held 50% at fault. I was hit while half across the sidewalk. By a car travelling on the wrong side of the road. Who ended up on the sidewalk when he hit me.

If I had had video evidence, then things would have gone differently. I have enough near misses, on a weekly basis, that it just makes sense. I've gathered enough video of complete idiots that I've produced 8 videos. Search for "morallyambiguousnet" on YouTube.

I'm running two Replay XD1080 sports video cameras; one facing front and the other rear. The one on the dash is in a standard double-sided tape mount and the one in the back is on a suction cup tripod, mounted to the rear window. When in the car they're plugged into power outlets, so I don't have to worry about battery life. On the bike I'm stuck with the batteries, until I finish up my dual power outlet box over the winter.

Coolio. Based on the number of idiot encounters I have on a weekly basis, I'm kinda thinking about doing something like this...
