That's attempted murder in my book. Ramming someone with 2 ton of car on purpose:thumbdown:

 

It should be jail time and I life long driving license ban on any one caught pulling these stunts.

A little fierce but it's always been the case in this country that if you use a car to maim/kill someone rather than a more traditional weapon you get punished lightly in comparison. Causing death by Dangerous Driving attracts a shorter term inside than causing death by waving a gun about while squeezing the trigger.

I know when they had that comet in Russia a lot of the videos were from auto recording in cars. Do we have similar that are good enough to be used as evidence in court.

I thought flashing headlights meant theres a speed camera about!!!!

i assume a camera wouldnt help in this situation, as it faces forward it wouldnt catch the suspected ass#hole falsly indicating

I can only assume the data from the road hawk, would at least be taken into consideration. It is simply a more basic uncalibrated version of that that the Police cars use. It could certainly prove or disprove/support or contradict the two contradictory accounts of the collision.

From both GPS data and the recording of speed, and acceleration (+or-)

The other thing to look out for, is they tend to go for company vehicles as they likely to be insured. No good getting your car rear ended if the other vehicle is not insured, they can't ring the police! oh, one more thing their brake lights will not working either!
