I could tell that pos wasn't insured from the video. Shocked that they weren't illegals.

Other driver and passenger both state I am at fault and filed a claim with my insurance.
I was contacted by my insurance, gave recorded statement, and sent in the dash cam video.
My insurance stated upon receipt of video they have put me as no fault and other driver as At Fault. They said usually this process takes a long time, but not this time with clear video.
I T-boned a dick knuckle about a year and a half ago in my Frontier who I saw come from a complete stop at a red light and go right through the intersection. I began jammed on my brakes the moment I saw him take off (from my 9 at the intersection) and got him right in the double doors on the side of the van. I've played it over and over in my head as well and come to the same conclusion you did...there's just a point that you're not able to stop regardless of the speed (I was about 35 as I was coming out of a 20 mph school zone). His insurance felt differently and took it to arbitration, where they got dick slapped.Shiner Bock said:tailgatetimer10 said:DadAG10 said:TxSquarebody said:
Braking distance is about 120 feet at that speed.

I've thought over and over since the wreck and watched the video several times. I don't think there's any way I could've avoided. I was watching the road, hit the brakes as quick as I could, and there was no safe maneuver available in my head over that short time frame.
Since they're uninsured, it may not take too long for you. They'll settle with you and then go after the other driver on their own. The dick knuckle I hit was insured, and even though there were 2 witnesses (including the lady sitting beside him at the red light) who said he ran the red light, he was ticketed, and he originally admitted to the cops that he thought it turned green, his insurance said it was my fault and not his. What should have been completed in a few weeks turned into month's.Shiner Bock said:

Forgot to ask: What dashcam model do you have?Shiner Bock said:

Can you tell from your original video if their light was green as well? It wouldn't be the first time there was a traffic light malfunction. Much more likely that they just ran the red light, but there's a chance.
$70-100 expenditure that can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache. It's just plug and play. If you don't have a dashcam, you're an idiot.EMY92 said:
I've had a dash cam for a little over a year. I hope to never need it, but with all of the scumbags out there, it is almost as good as insurance.

how much was the estimate?
Thanks!Shiner Bock said:
I have the Aukey dashcam. Looks like a tiny 2" square. ~$50-60. 1080p. Be sure to pick up a heat resistant micro SD card. I got a 64gb for about $14

What always holds me back is not believing I can do a clean power wiring install - how do you guys do it?
That's how I don't want it to look. I guess I need a professional install that taps into power in my rear view mirror. Manufacturers need to start putting USB connections in the mirrors I guess.Shiner Bock said:Complete Idiot said:

The cam I use has a USB power so it was very simple to just tuck the wire along the way and plug it in. Comes with adapter to plug into "cigarette lighter".
I followed this video to install.
I put mine right by the rear view mirror and ran the cord behind the RVM mount cover, tucked the wire behind the headliner using a professional body trim tool (electric tape covered flat head) and then behind the drivers side A pillar cover that's easily removed. From there I fished the wired down to the fuse box where a fuse adapter is plugged into an empty slot that's only powered when the car is on.Complete Idiot said:

How have you liked your Aukey / how has it fared in Texas heat?
Don't have one either, and I'm not even a self proclaimed idiot.....Complete Idiot said:I don't have a dashcam.RealTalk said:$70-100 expenditure that can save you thousands of dollars and a lot of heartache. It's just plug and play. If you don't have a dashcam, you're an idiot.EMY92 said:

Here's a question. My F150 has cameras all over it. Why can't there be an optional DVR to record that footage for things like this. Feels strange buying a camera for a truck that already has a buttload of cameras.
