2012-01-04 Trafalgar/8th T-Circle Incident

Car nearly hits me as it blows traffic circle at Trafalgar & 8th Ave in Vancouver. Some asshat NSFW mouthing off results as the car pulls up along side and lectures me.

Ironic that you blast him for fraking up the roundabout but then you blow through the stop sign at the end of the video.

@simbeau Filed under "doesn't get it"

1) You can see from the vid that I look left. Then right. Then left again before I proceed through.

2) I didn't nearly cause serious harm to anyone. Drawing a parallel between going through the stop at 5 km/h & nearly pasting a cyclist in a traffic circle is astonishing.

3) I went through the intersection at the same speed as the car ahead of me. Strange you didn't say "After nearly killing you in the traffic circle, the car then blows the stop sign"

@Gromitdog1 Just realized it was a BMW, what a surprise!

Yeah focus on plate numbers next time, although i know how you feel when this sort of thing happens the emotions (fight/flight) run high. Have to train yourself to think of getting details like number plate. Its laughable the clown driving stating 'do you know who i am', like wtf?

Pity you can't plaster their vehicle plate and driver description all over the interweb. Somethying along the lines of, "Do you know this person? If so, please contact them as they seem to have forgotten."

I like my AirZound. It lets me be loud without having to yell anything.

Need to invest in a wiper for your helmet cam :)
