An explanation of why we are seeing so many Russian traffic accidents on video: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/europe/2012/11/20121125185931399478.html

Interesting. I wondered who would run around with a camera on their dash all day.

Around here most airport shuttle vans do, mainly so they can replay the video in court to show it wasn't their fault.

I get that a business would do something like that. The vids I've seen are obviously from a private citizen's car. Maybe we should all do this.

A lot of people are. A growing percentage of the "stupid driver tricks" are coming from Gopro footage from people's cars.

After my last traffic accident several years ago, I'm tempted. Stupid kid tried to beat me out of a gas station lot by passing me on the right...only there wasn't enough room to pass. My first clue he was doing it was when I felt his car side-swiping me.

So dumb cop shows up on the scene and gives me a ticket for "reckless driving" and writes up a bogus traffic report that I t-boned the kid. Hell, you could see that was bullshit just by looking at the vehicles.
