"What in tarnation is a NEEESMO?"

NISMO IX · 09-14-2016, 07:45 PM

Just today....

Description - In the beginning you can see this black Honda SI owner is content with what lane he is in and driving fairly normal.... Until he saw me. I did not break hard, I just slowed down as I knew what he was going to do, which was to harass me. Hey Honda Driver, you give Honda enthusiasts a bad name!

wtf....somebody changed into your lane behind you and you brake check them? because you assumed he was going to harrass you? lol..wtf they were literally just changing lanes
maybe he saw you were going slightly faster than the car in his lane and wanted to pass that car.

Guess you didn't read my description or the expression on his face. I knew what he was up to and you are entitled to your opinion. He had every chance to change lanes where the white car was pulling ahead in the right lane before I got there and didn't. Lastly I did not brake check him, I let off the throttle. He was being an @ss. In the State of Maine and I am sure like most the rest of this country and Canada, You are required to have a certain amount of room between you and the car in front. What he did was an act of aggression by getting on my rear end, also known as tailgating. I slow down for tailgaters and is within my right. Before he flipped me off he had a big grin on his face and as he passed by at the end he did then too, it was not innocent on his part!

lmao are you serious? I did read your description. You sound like one of those entitled drivers that takes things into their own hands if things dont go your way..
Why not just drive the same speed and let people do their thing. Its not your job to police the road when you think somebody is being aggressive (hint: he wasnt really)
Also, maybe he didnt change lanes in front of you because he was nice and saw that you were going faster and wanted to let you go first, so he pulled in behind you and let you do your thing. Which is what you should have done too. .keep driving the same speed and not slow down for no reason other than thinking you're the man and just annoying people

Again, you are entitled to your own opinion.

This may be the dumbest thing I've read on this forum.

The whole package cost me around $300 and was two of everything. Contour ROAM3 waterproof HD action camera, 32gb miniSD cards, and the suction cup mounts Contour purchases from PanaVise. I went with cheap mounts in the beginning and they shook and rattle over every bump. The cameras will do 1080p at 30fps and 720p at 60fps. Battery takes about three hours to fully charge but will give you 2 1/2 to 3 hours of record time. I bought the cameras and cards from Amazon, and the mounts from the Contour website.

One is mounted just under my rear view and the other is on the rear window. Next time I install them I will take a picture and share how they sit.

Edit: I just wanted to add also, you may need to purchase editing software. I purchased Corel VideoStudio Pro X9 for $100 @ Best buy.

NISMO IX · 09-14-2016, 09:56 PM

I can try to get better pics but here is how I have them mounted. The lens rotates so that you can level the picture once mounted using an infrared beam.

You do seem a bit paranoid. Just drive your car. You have cameras so you're covered if someone causes an accident.

I respect that, the thing is, people do not realize the potential problems they cause when riding the rear of another road user. You are required to have a certain amount of attention for what is in front of you and a smaller percentage of what is going on in your mirrors (what is going on around you). When a person gets up on the rear of another vehicle, the person in front is now paying more attention to what is going on behind them then in front. This is call intimidation or aggression which ever you want to call it. The road users that do it know that they do it and IMO do not deserve a right to drive for putting peoples lives at risk.

Just a further note on the video, before I even approached the light, and even he was stopped, you could see his aggressive behavior with the red car in front of him.

I see this sort of thing all of the time. Paranoid? With good reason. Did I take matters into my own hands? Perhaps, but if you look closely you do not see any jerkiness in my suspension when I slowed (NOT brake check, was never applied), you do however see his. And finally, The camera can be deceiving, he darted over right as the rear of my car passed the rear of the red car next to me. Things tend not to look as close as they really are, ask anyone who has used a dashcam or GoPro.

I ride motorcycles so I'm used to being aware of what's going on 360 degrees of the vehicle at all times. I'm always positioning the car to avoid possible trouble. The times I am in a sketchy situation it's business as usual because I know I have cameras rolling. In that situation I would've continued the speed I was going and let him do his little rev or fly by. I wouldn't slow down and keep him behind me. He might've done something wreckless to get around the other car and clip that car or mine. People trying to police traffic do more harm than good. LOL Aggressive driving in Maine looks pretty pleasant to me. Please don't come to Houston because you won't like what you see down here.

I have to agree with everyone else. You pretty much **** blocked him when he hopped over to pass the car in the left lane and are pissed off that he didn't hit the brakes and give you 30' of trailing distance after that? He took it pretty well I thought. A touch passive aggressive on your part perhaps?

I have it all the time where people let me pass so they can check out my car and then hop behind me to complete a pass. Let them admire and go on with their day.

I appreciate you telling me your opinion on this in a mature manner, truly. You like hurahn, gave me a different perspective on what happened. I just thought I would add two things, what you can't see on camera is the instant "I'm gonna **** with this guy" **** eating grin on his face on the initial lane change, second is that on most roads when this happens I am the kind of guy who usually pulls to the breakdown lane and waves for the driver to pass. I have said that very thing on this very forum and meant it. The fact I had no where to go and didn't feel like having someone ride my back bumper, I chose what I did. Was it smart or necessary? Perhaps not, opinions differ, and I do respect a difference of opinion when the point is made maturely. Thank you!
