You have no idea how much I would have cursed that guy off. New York drivers are the WORST. How stupid can you possibly be to actualy think that was a good idea??!?!?!

 

Hee hee hee... I hear Gwen Stefani in the background of the most recent incident :D

Good to see that you were watching out for the idiot. I don't know why anybody would think that is okay...

Great save BTW.....will have to consider a set up like that in my wifes S! (Is great for showing the court what REALLY happend...)

 

Hey--why do you think God made middle fingers?

I don't use mine very often--Texans carry guns, and besides, it isn't lady-like (snicker), but sometimes it's appropriate...

 

check out this car accident dashcam with gps. not as stealth as my setup, but would be very easy to install. although, i'm not sure i want my speed recorded.

 

i know what you mean. i'm a native texan. although new yorkers yell a lot more, texas road rage from my experience gets more violent with guns and bats.

 

that hurtsss

 

That was a taxi/livery cab. they tend to abide by their own set of traffic rules. Its pretty common for a yellow cab to cut 4 lanes on a very busy avenue to pick up a fare. I'm a truck driver in NYC and can't even explain half the maneuvers some of the drivers do.

 

I thought it was a private car. How can you tell it was a cab?

 

it's a typical looking gypsy cab - "a taxicab that is licensed only to respond to calls but often cruises the streets for passengers." not obvious in the video, but he had a TLC (Taxi & Limo Commision) plate.

 

I thought everyone knew what those look like.

But yeah, I clued in on the plate -- the format is kind of distinctive.

 

also in NYC, a lincoln towncar is almost used for car services exclusively. I'd go to the extent of saying 98% of lincoln towncars are cabs. If they arent then it is extremely likely they arent from the city.
