Hi all! Just wanted to share a close call with you. I live in and commute in a college town, so I see a fair bit of bad driving and more "unexpected" driving. My favorite is people getting in the left turn only lane to turn right on red... Seems to be a thing done here pretty often rather than wait 20 seconds at the light.
Anyway! I watch very carefully and dodge accordingly. This one was closer than I like. You can't see it from my cameras perspective, but I was watching the silver car when it first pulled out, when it didn't start to make the left I slammed on the brakes assuming it might go all the way across. You can hear the car behind him honking (I guess trying to warn us?). 45ish to 0mph in approximately 2 seconds on really good concrete with pretty much new Michelins if you are wondering. Stay vigilant out there!
