Well, well... who know I would be returning to this subject so soon, so taking my own advice. I kept my dash camera on, and I caught two vehicles hug bumpers. With my self being one of those cars, clearly the rear care to catch it. WEll sort of...
So, I was driving home, passing some cars who were going a little slower then I would like, so I careful and properly passed them. Very textbook stuff.
Then I see how of my review mirror, that one of the people I passed is hot on my bumper. When I come to a stop, he came along side me on the right hand side. It's a to lane road one lane going each way, there is room for parking. so there is some room. He yelled at me "What was my Problem" and claiming I nearly hit him. Which was bull shit, the video showed a pretty text book passing. And I always check before going, chances are he got a little hotheaded and speed up.
Anyways, so I go, he goes, he tries to get in front of me, and running out of room due to a parked vehicle, and pulled in front of me, and that is why My bumper kissed his. Damage to both vehicles was very minimal.
We pulled to the side, where i called the cops. I didn't dare get out of my vehicle. Anyways, Cop shows up. I stayed calm and show him the video. He does his standard questioning then has me wait in my vehicle. And talk to the other guy, who I am guessing was agitated as the cop had to explain to him what he saw , etc.
So then the cop asks if we want to exchange insurance, get INS involved. I personally did, Betty (my Yukon) did her job in keeping me safe and she's built like a tank. He didn't either, I had no interest in talking to do, nothing was to be achieved. He lost his temper and did a bit of road raging, and the Cop told me to be more careful in the future.
So, that's it. I have it on Video, and lord knows how this could have turned out if I didn't. He could have been honest, he could have lied. But at the end of the day, The Video doesn't lie.
