Gosh DANGET. Stupid blackvue dashcam hasn't been recording for 3 days. Despite the dashcam LEDs showing powered on and recording lights. You have no idea how ticked off I am.
No I couldn't get the guys plate because he was too far away. When I realized what had happened, I slowed down to follow him as he immediately took an exit off the free way. So I slowed down, waited for it to clear, then drove over the dirt to get to the exit ramp and follow him. He saw I was following and took off. Lots of cars around made it a little unsafe for me to go as fast as I would have liked to. Speed isn't the issue, but I didn't want to cause any accidents trying to catch up.
And BlackVue, they can suck it. Worthless POS camera. If the lights say recording and the dashcam says "BlackVue for your safety. Exiting parking mode". It should be recording, right? Well nah. Camera is a total POS. I am super annoyed. You have no idea how bad I wanted to have a chance to get this psychopath arrested for assault with a deadly weapon (pointing a gun at me). I would have showed up in court and seen it through to the end.
I carry too, matter of fact I had two with me. One on me, and one in my vehicle. But escalating isn't what I would want either. I didn't follow for a confrontation, I followed to try and get a plate. It's funny, the thought of me being armed never even crossed my mind. That's a good thing, I think, as it shows that under duress I don't have violent tendencies.
Oh, and by the way, BlackVue is a POS. AHHHH. Hate these dang cameras.
