    Damn, glad you didn't get scraped! Well, now you have a good reason to finally call those "How am I driving? Call 1-800-bla-blah" signs on the back. I know on a bike, that's about the best you can do, get them in trouble at their job, hahaa.

    I like how you blipped the throttle on that silver Evo fag. Geeze what a pain, am I gonna have to stick on my GoPro everytime I ride, just so I have evidence for the court, if/when something happens? Good grief, been thinking about this a lot lately.

    Sorry dude. You are in the wrong here. Law states you must turn into the first "through" lane. You can't expect that guy to turn into a turn lane and try to get out of it. You actually would get a ticket here for changing lanes in an intersection because you went from the outside turn lane to the inside through lane.

    Cant hurt, I just got mine a couple weeks ago and try to record everything, only downside is th battery life. Im thinking about getting an extra battery to carry with me or get the extension battery pack. And my 8G card only holds about an hour and a half, if nothing happens I have to delete previous videos...

    Re: One for Grim

    Notice the inside lane has a solid white. That indicates a non through lane and you are not supposed to turn into those. I would thank the guy for not hitting you.

    Didn't notice it on my phone, but now that I'm on the comp Vortex is right on this one--watch the car that was at the red light ahead of you--it goes into the far right lane while you cross over into the "left" lane of the road you're turning onto.

    The far left lane is a turn-only lane, not a through lane...

    I think what's left of the dotted white line on the far left is to keep people out of the turn lane.

    It's a double left to a triple lane road with the far left being a non through lane. Wicky should have turned into the appropriate through lane. He crossed over into the first through lane illegally.

    Hmmm weird... I do see him following the indicated lines on the road. Those lines guide him into the wrong lane it looks like.

    Tough to see on a mobile but there are only 2 available lanes to turn into, as designated by the far left solid white.

    Edit.. Watched again and I see those lines in the turn. Pretty sure those are wrong though!

    Re: One for Grim

    Id have to go to the intersection and look closer. If you look all the way to the left, I dont know what that sign says but it could have been if your in the left lane youy have to turn left again or some shit along those lines.
