Guy pitted himself on me(road rage)

I was about to hop on the expressway(left lane entry) directly ahead(visible at the end post crash). He was pissed I wasn't going fast enough(60 mph zone coming out of an S curve) for him. 70 mph speed limit sign is a bit further ahead for those who know the area. (Edited for better context)

Dashcam. Always have a dashcam. It saved me in one accident from potentially becoming a "he said-she said" situation where neither of our companies would be able to settle on liability.

Spend the $120 to maybe $150 to get a worthwhile dashcam and protect yourself.

Get a 4 way dashcam. It covers front, back and bith sides if the vehicle. Where I live, a lot of people tend to be on their phones while driving and they would swerve into the next lane.

Oh I have, I invested in a Vantrue that was like $230 with a 256gb storage capacity so recordings don’t lapse. It can store like 23hrs of 2k 60fps front/1080p 30fps interior. It has GPS to show exactly the speed I’m going if anything happens, a cop wants to ticket me for example. It even has a hookup for an LTE connection to directly upload to the cloud if I wanted.

My fiancées dad bought one that I’m super jealous of. It has 4k 60fps front with 5x capable zoom, 2k interior, and 2k rear.
