Guy with cornrows in a beemer was inches behind me, flashing his lights and laying on his horn for me to hurry and instantly get up to 60mph from a stop. He's got paper plates, so he'll soon have intimate knowledge of what car poor means.

Jerk hit the gas as soon as I put my blinker on.

This happened more than a year ago in New York State on a 65 mph highway. Traffic was light. A Pontiac ahead of me suddenly slowed down, so I moved into the left lane to pass while maintaining a safe distance from the black car in front of me.
Then the Pontiac sped up and passed me. I should have moved back into the right lane immediately, my mistake. Then the whole situation unfolded.
Fortunately, I was able to get out of the situation, and everyone in the Pontiac was safe.

This is the third time I've had this exact thing happen. This first two broke my control arm and i had to wait a bit over a month for parts and repairs. I wasn't going to have that happen this time so as he is apparently trying to merge into me i dodged him best i could and jumped the median without getting too close to the on coming car.

​

I told him to give me $300 for the scraped fender flair and call it a day since i had stuff to do and i was fairly confident i successfully evaded enough to shield my tire from damage. He got on the phone for like 5min then came back acting like he thought i was trying to rip him off and said call the cops to which i said fine.

​

In the end my insurance told me they would in fact replace my fender flair ($350) and did a full suspension check of the entire front side since both sides got impact. Found scratches on my rims and attributed them to the accident and is currently getting touched up.

​

All in all $1500 cost

Case is over so im able to share new camera angles. Had this accident while returning to office after a patrol as a armed security officer. Had multiple broken ribs a broken wrist, multiple fractured vertebra, serious internal bleeding, traumatic head injury, fractured pelvis and a broken ankle. Was in hospital for 6 weeks im not recovered yet but im getting there. Driver was drunk and high hit me at 95 mph. Luckily the car from the first cam was off duty EMS and there was a ambulance behind him.

And no… the 18 wheeler did not stop. His truck seemed fine so not sure if he needed to!
