Was driving home from a bit of shopping at the weekend and along a road near to me. As you'll see form the pictures, it's fairly narrow but two cars can pass easily provided they stick to their side of the road.
Anyway, the car pictured below for some reason decided she'd drive down the centre of the road and around cars! Fortunately she managed to avoid the 2 tone silver saloon car I was in!
As you'll see in the picture, up ahead there's a car braking and as I approached him I could see his wing mirror totally obliterated. So I pulled up alongside the guy and asked if he'd the people carrier had just hit his mirror.
I got the chap to follow me back to my house as we were only two minutes round the corner. I took his contact details and told him I'd check my dashcam as it should have caught her car and maybe the incident.
Low and behold it did and you can actually see the point where she swerves round him although can't make out the impact fully. There's no need to swerve or drive around cars on that road so she'd just been driving down the centre.
Totally oblivious the woman just carried on driving leaving this guy's car looking like this.
Felt very sorry for him as he was really shaken and mirror hit his window so hard it had left some nasty marks.
I ended up texting him over pictures from the dashcam and gave my details for the Police report. Hopefully she'll get a knock on her door for driving away from the scene of an accident!
So, ok there's plenty of dashcammers out there who drive like complete idiots but proof that they can actually be helpful even to other drivers. By the end of the day this chap had booked his car in to Halfords to have a dashcam fitted.
