I had purchased a dashcam and I received it on Thursday and installed it Thursday night. This video was captured the very next day. Thankfully there were no injuries.

Glafd you are ok OP, what an asshole. That was a "he's not going to is he.. of fuck he did." Deserves a hefty ticket for that.

Looks like it was just in time to me. Glad you're ok @OP.

Bloody idiot, they're cutting across two lanes!! Glad you're okay.

Haha right. Not his fault but living in Vancouver he would get roasted daily by idiots.
MisterLemons
"Oh no, missed my exit! Better merge like a fucking idiot to save the time it'd take to turn around. What's the worst that could happen?"
FreshOutOfMercy
So what you're saying is dashcams cause accidents.. suspicious...
theBurroughs
It's the way of the universe
Shuriyu
Almost surprised you couldn't hammer on the brakes hard enough. It felt like you had lots of notice.
Phantastik89
Ok I thought I was the only one that noticed I seen the guy start merging a while ago... I wonder if he was distracted
RichardValentine
Fuck you people that drive like you own the road. You know who you are and I hope you have a lousy day.
betamaxforever
I had a lousy day and now I'm questioning my driving.
jimmyhowlett
I just hope they lose their license.
Khikik
unlikely... If repeat Drunk drivers can keep or get their licenses again then bad drivers wont have any problem
demonic
My one uncle drove big rigs for a living his motto was "we are bigger thus we own the road" and you couldn't tell him he's wrong
DunnowForgot
There's right of way and right of size. If you don't have right of way yet are plenty bigger, most people won't risk running into you.
demonic
If i have the right away I'm going idgaf, if i die i die
drcookieninja
Yeah, I had pretty much the exact same happen with a truck last week, fucker literally cut across in front of 3 cars. I managed to brake.
drcookieninja
These trucks in Alberta, they are the plague of the road. 'I weigh 5 tonnes so fuck you and the rules'.
theBurroughs
There are definitely people out there that drive like that but in this case I think the guy just had a lapse of judgment.
Ragnarok1349
more like fucking moron, but good on you for taking it cool
originaljbw
Lapse of judgement, yeah we all have it. Go a mile to the next exit then and don't drive like a goblin
KawaNyx
Probably confused by all the barrels and didn't think it through. Good thing you had that dash cam!I should get one
Ryebread91
Even in this case I think the dashcam wouldn't have been needed but it definitely makes it 100% obvious
theBurroughs
I'm thinking either he looked back before I had exited or because my car is lowered and black he didn't see me on the off ramp at all
haitamimama
You’re headlights were on, yes? Then he paid no attention and just panicked.
EveryGOPAccusationIsActuallyAnAdmission
That doesn't sound like a good excuse, your headlights appear totally bright enough.
NKato
I hope insurance gets him for all he's worth. Bad judgement or not, that was a fuck-up.
Demikmj
I got in an accident and pulled to the side of the road and turned off my car. no dash cam video because my cam was powered off with the car
Demikmj
It didn’t save the video it was in process of recording because I powered down.
Eidodk
Sounds like a cheap Wish dashcam with no sd-card storage.
theBurroughs
That is terrible! Most of the dashcams now have a small battery to prevent that but I can totally see it happening
NKato
I use a Viofo dash cam with a Cellink Neo battery pack that allows parking mode recording. It will not turn off when the car is off.
DocHarriers
A good driver sometimes misses their exit. A bad driver never misses their exit.
OmegaZen
A good driver never misses their exit. Unless you are somewhere new and don't have a GPS on, you're slow if you miss your exit. so much time
MeeepMorp
Mistakes happen. Nobody is perfect. If you're a good driver and haven't ever missed your exit, you haven't been driving for very long.
OmegaZen
nah. I've missed exits when I was a newbie and didn't know how much time I had a mile from my exit. Not anymore. built different I guess :)
theBurroughs
Lmao that is one of the best sayings I've ever heard especially true in Michigan
dummichen24
My uncle in law drove the wrong way on the highway to get back to the exit. Luckily I was in the other car...couldn't believe he did that...
battlepants
The GPS will even reroute you to get you back on track. So yea, really no big deal with missing an exit nowadays.
haitamimama
This. Unless you’re the type that wont take direction
WonderfunkJones
If I have to cross an unmarked section of road, I'm not doing it.
PikaChunin
Right?! I had some idiot trying to pass a few cars during congestion using the turn only suddenly realize it was an exit and almost hit me.
PikaChunin
It had to be a hair away from a collision. And it's legal to u-turn here. They could get right back on the highway, losing maybe 20-30s.
haitamimama
A good driver who misses their exit goes to the next exit to turn around
ColClone54
But that was so much more expensive than just going to the next exit & turning around. My mechanic has boat payments to make!
Ninjainslippers
I did this just a week ago. Realized at the last second I missed the exit. Felt stupid but 2 extra miles is better than a collision.
ButteredNoodleDriver
Hey I'm a bad driver AND I miss my exit all the time
xj4low
Thought I was the only one who goes to the next exit if I miss my current one. Easier to double back over some evasive maneuver.
moodring
There are dozens of us!

there was this thing years ago I saw that equated it to selfishness. A selfish driver tries to make their exit, the non selfish driver waits
shano510
Yeah, selfish drivers expects others to fix their mistakes
tempestfoxthree
Good driver: oh no, I missed my exit. I'll get off at the next one and backtrack. Bad driver: oh no I missed my exit. I'll swerve across 3
RandomnessSlayer
In MD a few weeks ago, on 29, I was taking an exit, and some SUV was backing up PAST THE EXIT. Like I stopped, and they continued backwards>
RandomnessSlayer
on the shoulder, it was just kind of incredulous, and really wish a cop saw that (they were still going way past the exit idk to where >
RandomnessSlayer
it was probably another 0.5 miles til the next exit, on a friggin 3 lane highway)
GrabherbythePuss
The DMV is a dangerous place to drive. I lived in nova for 20 years, so glad I got out of that area

This. If you miss your exit - keep driving and take a new route. Don't do some BS- last-second-merge like this person.
guywhodetailsthings
Noooooo. Aspec down?. Maybe you can get the new type S now?
theBurroughs
If they total it I'm between the same exact car and spec or a Q50 Red Sport 400
TheWhiteBarry
Have you looked at a Tesla at all? 8 built in dash cams and safest cars ever built. 10/10 would recommend
TheWhiteBarry
Plus AEB would've avoided this accident altogether, just saying. Really worth looking into
guywhodetailsthings
The Q50 red sport is way quicker than the TLX but I like the way the TLX looks
theBurroughs
Agreed, I test drove a Q50 and the interior is just so dated.
jelly117
Fuuuuck some drivers are bloody reckless. Glad you're ok and have proof that Swervy McDickbeans was at fault.

theimgurappsucksballs
Good pornstar name
iquestioneverything
Even without the dash cam, the angles of impact and Location of damage would be pretty difficult to defend for the other guy.
shotgunz
Also the fact that he couldn't have possibly been coming from anywhere other than the blocked off part of the road
pareidoliaperson
Y'know I was going to go between some blocked road I'd be extra careful and looking around...but guess with that level of logic I wouldn't

Fuuuuck indeed. I didnt even notice it until the car was right in front of him.
Secouss
Maybe use your brake when you see a danger ?
shoopi12
While it was completely the other driver's fault, the accident could have been prevented if he went a little slower. Drive safely out there
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
You must be the brother, Slowy McDickbeans
venomlash
You go with the flow of traffic. You're LESS safe if you creep along just on the off chance that someone does something stupid.
BrdCdn
Yes, go at least the speed limit and follow the flow. Idiots "going slow for safety" cause slowdowns, dangerous situations and accidents.

Yup if the other guys insurance sees that dash cam video it might remove some liability from the other guy.

If it's determined by the insurance companies you're partially at fault it could still affect your rates.
theBurroughs
I'll leave it up to them to determine the accuracy of my dashcams speed sensor lol
theBurroughs
I dont understand what this is in response to...
ravajh
The dashcam recorded your speed at about 94kmh (58 mph), & you just passed a posted 45mph sign. You may have been able to stop at 45 mph
theBurroughs
Also, I think the speed may be delayed a bit
RevRagnarok
Time to crop some video! ;)
NobodyIsHereAnymore
100% other guy's fault. However, you were going almost 15 over in a construction zone on the interstate, had you been going thr posted (1/2)
NobodyIsHereAnymore
Speed limit you would've had time to brake properly to avoid collision. His fault but you were also negligent.
dailycupofjoe
Yeah pretty sure you weren't still going 78 after creaming a car and coming to a stop lmao
theBurroughs
Lol come to Detroit and drive the posted speed limit
awkwardbeautiful
I’m in agreement w/ you, but knowing how insurance companies are,it’s good to know that this could be mentioned.it will do prepare you.
awkwardbeautiful
Don’t know why there’s a link there. Don’t mind that.
Kamasu0Tra
Hope you are ready to make that claim before a judge, and fight it in court.
Tovarish1013
Also you seem to brake very late. I myself didn't see him coming until he was right in front of you. Fuckers lights blended with the cones.
theBurroughs
I honestly didn't see him until he was at my window. I don't text and drive and I knew where I was at. I was alert.
Tovarish1013
I'm just saying think about why did you react so late. If you were on your phone or someshit they will try to pin at least some of the blame
SonBro
The guy is a tool without a doubt but I don't know how you could not see him coming over. I guess I just expect people pull these stunts.
mardukkur
Same.
Aaronb1138
The blinker is 10x more obvious to human eyes at that. The camera exposure hides how obvious it is. Both bad drivers.
Tovarish1013
Honestly I didn't see him either until it was way too late. He blended with the cones. Granted I'm watching a recording and not there.
tomatoboy
Plus, a defensive driver watches merge areas (especially in construction zones, because drivers are unfamiliar) for exactly this. Avoidable—
tomatoboy
—collision on the part of both drivers, really.
tomatoboy
And I get that the FOV on dash cams is wider, but that’s exactly why you WATCH the merge area.
anotherIngloriousHandle
dashcam is no excuse for lack of diligence and defensive driving
LowTinaTurner
Yup. Always create space for yourself and be alert. Expect everyone to be an idiot on the road. This particular case, not much you can do.
BaconAlmighty
If by luck, you mean good luck.. then yes. It was great timing
BlimBlamOut
I feel like if he had good luck he would've have gotten into the accident in the first place
AnAliyAiden
Yeah, I mean where was he looking? @45mph should've been able to stop
FutileHumility
Other Driver: Why did you rear end me!?!? OP: I have a dashcam. OD: oh...

activeracer28
Ah your poor TLX.

You are at fault too. Speed limit is 55, and there are signs for 45 mph, and you were going 93 kph which is 57.7 mph.
enkrypt3d
u didnt see him cutting u off? u should pay more attention and braked much sooner to avoid the collision in the first place.glad ur safe tho

I lived there once. Michigan drivers make their driving your problem, no matter the situation. Existing on the road is a sin they'll punish.
Bstick525
I grew up over the line in OH so I know MI drivers, lived in Dallas 4 yrs, and now in S. FL. Its also the order of worse to worst drivers.

And since there are no inspections, many of those crazy drivers have 4 bald tires, questionable brakes, and few working lights.

GuyWithDog
It looks like you didn't brake at all. Was it really the case? Whole footage seems happening at too high speed for a construction passage
RevRagnarok
You need to look at the bottom - a fisheye lens makes it look like things are faster.
DespiseEveryone
The video shows the speed in km. 90/95 km/h or 55miles per hour. In a construction zone.
GuyWithDog
Not really, after a dozen reviews. The speed of everyone was too high (over 20km/h), there's no reaction at all (no brakes or evasion). It's
GuyWithDog
just idiots flying blindly after each other. Insurance companies will feast on that footage
theBurroughs
Oh I definitely hit the brakes
theBurroughs
Also, only evasive move I COULD have done would have been to go for the wall
theBurroughs
I broke at the last second, the camera shows a wider view than my field of vision. I saw him just as he was about parallel to my side window
soL1diFy
uhhh no...you weren't paying attention. Most certainly could have slowed down/stopped in time. Other car is an idiot but you fucked up too.
morbidcurioffulous
Slow down and get your eyes checked dude. Sure the other guy's at fault, but that doesn't mean you couldn't have avoided the crash.
theBurroughs
2/2 @Evenmorehorrifying
JustAFlamingoInDisguise
As a dash cam owner, they DO have a wider view than the human field of vision. Though, speed seemed high for roadworks area...
NKato
Shut the fuck up. Every car has an A-pillar. They're not transparent. You're being an imbecile.
NaughtButOne
Dash cam is generally in the centre of the windshield, gives more FOV to the left. Car may have been blocked by the A pillar for driver.
theBurroughs
"Ah yes. The joys of an idiot who has all the advantage of watching a video and thinking it equates being behind the wheel" 1/2
Kamasu0Tra
Bud, you were going 60MPH in a 45MPH zone. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that may be part of the reason.
Evenmorehorrifying
Assuming the camera is correct? It says 80+ while at a full stop for several seconds. Could be wrong, but do go on...
Kamasu0Tra
Why even bother replying to someones comment if you are just going to immediately mute them?
PoorBoyChevelle
Bud he was keeping up with traffic
cenfou2tout
Is 93km/h more than 45 mph ?
chainmaille
It shows 96 after the crash which was after they were braking, could easily argue it's not accurate
Aaronb1138
I didn't see a lot of braking prior to contact. OP is a bad driver who failed to slow down making the accident worse.
Grandolddrummer
It's about 58 mph
cenfou2tout
Oh then probably you shouldn't show this to your insurance company...
cbale2000
The unwritten rule of Detroit driving is that if you're not going 10 over, you get run over.
Weedies617
I think they could've stopped if they weren't speeding a little.. or paying attention fully. After watching it again
Eidodk
You're actually not allowed to stop on on/offramps AND the freeway. That would be a hard no from me.
CalvinMcFly
It seems way too fast for a construction zone
OverthoughtUnderedited
This is an interstate near Detroit, you're legally allowed to drive as fast as your suspension can carry you over the potholes.
didyouseewhatgodjustdidtousman
I hope common sense would dictate that the guy driving on the designated roadway is less at fault than the guy cutting through the barrels.
WeekendWarriorMark
… not using its indicators
Kamasu0Tra
Don't bother.
They are sure they are in the right, and criticism just gets them to plug their ears.
ccffeebeanxx
If the dash is accurate, you were also doing 60 in a 45 construction zone.. not to be that guy but I’m gonna.
Nickzip
Except he was going with the flow of traffic which is generally safer to do then going to speed limit.
greatgoatman
That's an excellent point, really. Plus, speeding fines are doubled in construction zones, and points are higher too. Not a bright move.
MKUltraMega
I saw the speed the cones were going by and thought, “no way that’s 45”
gablestout
That's why you don't get a dashcam that displays speed. The other insurance company can claim 10-20% fault and it will ding his record
NaughtButOne
You can determine speed with some really simple math.
heavilymedicated
White lines 10' long, spaces between them 30'. Count lines per second, that gives you feet per second, convert to MPH.
Eidodk
Dashcam displays in Km/h, and fluctuates so much it's completely unreliable. The reading wouldn't be useable as evidence.
Eidodk
It actually says 90km/h while the car is stopped... That reading would be ignored.
WeekendWarriorMark
From the dash cam in the video it also looks like there is actually a slight increase in speed. Tbh first time watching I was expecting the
WeekendWarriorMark
car in front to do something stupid especially after it lighted up red on the slip road. Accident was avoidable. Speedy recovery to everyone
PeeterGrant
That footage will need to be cropped first then.
chainmaille
And he was still slower than the cars ahead of him. If driving speed limit means everyone else is 20MPH faster than you, YOU are the hazard
NaughtButOne
Insurance companies don't care.
wa27
Guy crossing barriers was still at fault.
esparadrapo
I think it is better braking, honking and yelling than totaling your car but yeah, it was the other guy's fault.
schlummi
Y, but stuff as this can result in "100% fault" being reduced to "90% fault" - means he has to pay those 10% himself.
jeeps005
in canada its 0 fault.
schlummi
Sometimes an accident could've been prevented or at least damages would be less severe. That's why fault is usually shared. Maybe canada is
schlummi
an exemption and goes black-white. In many situations that'd be pretty unfair, bc often contribute two sides to accidents.
tomatoboy
Yes, but a saying in motorcycle circles is dead and in the right is still dead.
tomatoboy
That’s ignoring any partial liability/contributory negligence issues in some jurisdictions.
tomatoboy
The point being you should drive defensively. This was an avoidable collision on the part of both parties, but only if OP was driving...
tomatoboy
...defensively. A defensive driver watches for situations just like this, because they’re inherently high risk.
Scirax
In some states if the police saw the video they could EASILY claim you could have avoided the crash by breaking IF you were paying attention
Sesquey
Saw this too. Excessive speed is going to be ruled a contributing factor.
AnAccountToPostThis
Yeah the guys insurance will probably try for 80%-20% liability or something. Really though, they wont have a case for it and theyll get 100
RSJunis
Especially since he saw that guy coming - 100% avoidable
WeekendWarriorMark
I’m not sure I did early enough tbh. Was distracted by the speeding car in front as I was expecting it to do something when it lit up. Other
WeekendWarriorMark
Car doesn’t even use it’s bloody indicators. Just a short red flash when it brakes shortly before impact.
Scirax
You're getting downvoted but you're right. That could have been avoided. I avoid dozens of accidents a week by being alert and breaking
th3guy
Not to mention I saw the other driver merging over for a solid 6 seconds before this driver reacted.
PoorBoyChevelle
I don't think you know how long a second is
Sprinx
You saw it, sure, maybe helpful that you knew an impact was imminent. I also had this knowledge but didn’t see the car until 1 sec before
captinjojo2000
Yeah for real. How the hell did he not see that idiot coming over?
tomatoboy
Enough time to react, for sure. I count three seconds (from the time stamp) from when it became clear what the driver was doing to impact.
WeeJones
Guarantee they were texting.

No decline in speed, definitely not paying enough attention.

2 the replacement wheels come into the country without 600 extra monies because they never heard of a warranty it's been a nightmare
tiderfish
Damn. You think it’s a total loss?
Bystandr
Looks like it- airbags are going to be thousands by themselves. Depends on damage to drivetrain suspension and frame.
NKato
And with a hit like that, you can bet the frame is fucked. Unibody cars tend to not do well with that - is why they tend to be totaled out.
theBurroughs
A part of me wants it to be and a part of me wants it to be fixed. I'll be speaking with the adjuster this week so I guess we'll see.
MadamPuddifoot
I thought if the airbags deployed it was always considered totaled? Also I have those tennis shoes.
yummilicious
Depends. If their quote for repairs is higher than the black book value, then the insurer will choose to deem it a total loss.
SharkoutofWata
Not always. Collapsed my front suspension and deployed curtain airbags in my car. 11k of damage but they fixed it up. Totaling was an option
