This may sound like a rant...

Apparently, you've never driven in rush hour traffic before. If you're not in a hurry, sit back and watch it all happen. The GoPro is a good idea though. Tons of drivers in Europe have dash cams....because they don't know how to drive.

Sounds like a typical commute in rush hour traffic.

I started using a camera after a PU cut in front of me so close I could not see the back of the truck. This was after I saw him weaving in/out of traffic and when besides me I blew the horn as there was not enough space for him to cut in front of me. Not sure how he made it as there was only inches. Has nothing to do with knowing how to drive in rush hour traffic but I guess I'd left too large a gap behind the traffic in my lane.

Stay off your horn and enjoy the moment. Life is short.

Heading out of town in rush-hour traffic (Phoenix)....... just be patient.



Your words :B

There is a name for those hellholes. They are called cities.

All good advice, and yes, I don't drive in rush hour traffic much, as I work from home and hardly drive at all. That's not to say I don't know how to drive, I have hundreds of thousands of highway miles, accident-free. You cut me off, yes, I'm gonna use my horn, that is what it is for. When I hit the road long-term, I'm gonna plan my urban travels for the off-rush times.

I'd sure like to know how you enjoy moments when your life flashes before your eyes because you think you are gonna die. I don't find it enjoyable. People are just A-holes when they get behind the wheel.

I write it off to jealousey. BTW If you ever do splatter a sworm of Prius they come off easily sith soap and water.

It's all part of the "adventure."
Just remember, they are probably going to work, you are going camping.

I'd sure like to know how you enjoy moments when your life flashes before your eyes because you think you are gonna die.

LOL! It's obvious you don't drive much! What you describe happens on a daily basis around here. The three of us in the house come home pretty much every day with stories like that-it's just a part of living where we do. I have no issue with a good honk just to remind the offender they aren't the only ones on the road. Not everyone is evil when they drive-the other car may be in their blind spot, something else caught their attention, etc. I don't wish to be critical but if your "life flashes before your eyes" when something small like this happens (yes, it's small) then either you need to drive more so you are better prepared or you need to give up your license and stop driving. I can't agree with you more about people slowing down and paying attention, but until EVERYONE does it you need to prepare yourself both technically and emotionally.
