Good. Why some people think it's any of their business to take pictures/video of a situation they are not even involved with, especially while driving, is beyond me.

Not long ago there was a minor fender bender in the parking lot where I work. No one hurt, minor damage, but I couldn't believe how many people stood around with their phones out as if it was the most dramatic event to take place. FFS get a life.

About a year after my first dashcam a lady in Abbotsford tried to leave a parking lot in her large 1970 Cadillac size sedan.
She never turned the steering wheel more than about 5 degrees, took at least 10 tries to back out, turned at the end of the aisle after 6 more tries, knocking over a sign on the sidewalk, causing a Starbucks customer to jump back & spill his coffee. Then she cruised down the lot at maybe 5kmh and took a full 5 minutes to turn onto the road, 5 more tries and crossed 3 lanes into the opposing one to do so.
Told the wife that I finally had something to upload, but when I got home the camera SD card was corrupt! Shit.
But that was passive filming, of someone's stupidity not their misfortune.

One thing that r/IdiotsInCars on Reddit taught me, is there is no lack of supply for Idiots in cars.

I used to live in LAngley and had to commute to Burnaby for work. One day there was this massive logjam on Hwy1, took almost an hour to cross the bridge.
It was from everyone slowing to gawk at a woman in a skirt changing a tire. She was putting the jack away in her trunk when I finally drove by...
Most driver are morons. I told my daughter while giving her lessons - just keep doping what you're doing and make your intentions clear. Assume everyone else on the road is a total retard and worry about them, not you.
