Almost got ran over today
 

All the screaming/cursing is my wife :D

Son of Beach!

mother Fvcker.......:shakes head: man i hate soo much those trucks guys.... they think that they own the streets!!!

Looks like you should have paid attention to the limit line at that stop :rolleyes:

He was simply making a left turn. You try driving something like that around and not cut corners, it isn't easy. In fact it is impossible on some streets.

didnt know canadians knew how to curse

i know!!! but here in PR you have to see this guys man.... they drive like crazy people!!! As soon as yesterday a guy with his truck hit a good on a toyota tercel on my way to the work

:iagree: although even after backing up still kinda tight

I was on the line, but it looks exaggerated from dashcam's view. problem is visibility in that spot. you have to move out a little to see the traffic.

that's for right turn

Winycam dashcam? If I were in your shoes, I'd have to need a new pair of pants. Good thing you weren't injured or anything bad!

It would have rolled over part of the car and myself, Z would have been totaled. rep Winycam from ebay.

Can't watch from mobile... ;-(

I would have drifted underneath the truck-bed like Fast&Furious status. Be a man about it next time.

Jk, that was close. Good thing you honked

we can blame the radio for that one :icon14:

Same here

In the US we are supposed to stop BEHIND the line.

Whoa.

What model dash cam are you using. Is it a GoPro? Looks good!

LIVUE LB100. I'm sure you can find something better now

What the hell is a semi doing turning down a small street like that anyways?

He needs to swing out wider before making the turn next time.

As for the stop line, stopping on the stop line is legal in the US and you were fine anyways where you stopped, OP. I'm sure Canadian laws are similar anyways.



Semi drivers think they own the road, I hate them. They need to stay in the right lane, damn it.

I've been cut off by a semi on the highway in the Z for no apparent reason. By buddy used to drive a truck and he told me they'll do that to nice cars to "teach them a lesson". It's scary to think about the people driving these big rigs. They are interesting characters. Either way, I keep my distance feom these things.

I was a passenger in a mini pick-up when a large truck turned the corner the same way. The driver had his window down and I heard him say "I think I can make it" right before his rear wheels mounted the hood. He didn't even have a scratch.

The truck clearly would've hit him if he didn't move, even if he stopped a feet before the line.

Where did you get the dashcam? I'd love to have something like that!

I just snagged a hero 3+ (big sale at the PX) and the issue is mounting it for me.

I keep reading about the stop line. it's true, I should have stopped earlier. The point of the video was showing how I almost got ran over. It would have been another 40th Z destroyed(but maybe a better video to watch).

I bought the dashcam from ebay. LIVUE LB100. Average low light quality but daylight is good. $160 with import fees. I ran a group buy in our company, $100 each. The guy might give you the same deal if you're interested, send me a text

ze, Good of you to admit that you should've stopped earlier as the truck was already in the intersection making his turn before you approached the stop sign. Also very good of you to use your horn and reverse for the truck. :tiphat:

I really hate to see damaged Z threads.

Yes you should have stopped earlier, but even so, that truck still would have hit you even stopped behind the line. Good footwork OP! :tup:

dang.. you can still drive the Z today...!!!?? jealous jealous...!!!


btw, you are lucky that the truck did hear your honk...

I was expecting it to cost less but I'll keep that it in mind, thanks for the help! :tup:


I drove it yesterday and I regret it. I have to find a good time to wash the car before I store it since its now been exposed to salt.

It also looks incredibly dirty and I hate seeing it like that.

Waterless car wash, it's your best buddy in Winter... :tup:

Wql Mart or Canadian Tire :tiphat:

yea, drive 3 times a week ;)

I was surprised he heard me too. I was like, here we go :mad: get ready to scream like a little girl

SReaM it OUt YOOO:wtf2:

1st of all, sir, you acted very graciously. You didn't cuss out the truck driver. You probably saved him his job, because had his company found out about his poor driving (had he hit you)...the poor guy would probably be fired.
2nd, using a dashcam like that saves lots of "he said, she said" in case you got into an accident. No ambiguity, but can be a double edge sword if you're indeed at fault...But if you were at fault...you wouldn't mention the dash cam :)
3rd, no one was hurt.

Good job my man!

Thanks, great points! I'm really glad he realized I was there. He may have possibly been driving for hours and tired.



:roflpuke2: Hahaha, thanks man...

370Z.com forums + drinking I presume? :icon17:

yesterday i saw a pt cruiser almost getting clobbered by a 4runner cutting across the street. :D the guy in the pt swirved out of the way just in time. :tup:

not sure if that was a good thing though.... if he didnt swirve out of the way he may not have had to keep his fugly car. :p ;)

We swear, but only in Canadian so that no one understands.

here's how i sneeze on a bad day.

ahhf-kchooo!! :mad:

no one understands me, and it feels good. :tup: :ugh:
