Dash cameras: good idea or paranoia

[Sijray21]

i like to daydream about if i would have had the balls to hold my ground if my wife, son, and new puppy weren't in the car.  i would have enjoyed the new front end, it needed a repaint anyway.

If the wife/kid wasn't in the car i definitely hold my lane in the GTI now. It's still nice, but after 8+ years i've entered the IDAF about the accident if it's your fault. Came really close to an a-hole in a Mustang the other day, but i wasn't budging. he moved back over; he knew what he was doing...

I need to get a dashcam... for whatever replacement for the GTI that i get I'll get one for that vehicle.

I feel you, but tapping the brakes is a lot easier than dealing with side of the road arguments, police reports, insurance companies, bodyshops, lowball insurance estimates, poor bodywork etc.

I just let the assholes be assholes and make my way to work. Its a lot lower stress that way too.

What happened to The Haterade? You've changed man....
