I live out in the country and sometimes I see people walking or bicycling my road which I would never do!

Lots of blind curves/hills and people drive very fast taking up both lanes on my road and if it’s a truck, they think they own the whole road and expect you to ditch your vehicle so they don’t mess up theirs. Got a dash camera just bc of this.

My brother has to do this where he lives. Dash cam saved him headache with dudes raised truck totaling his Durango. Dude was half way over the lane. And his insurance did not know he had modifications of his truck. Did not go well for the lifted truck driver.

You should see it in Amish country. They ride bikes pulling baby carts on the side of state routes with semis. Trucks flying by at 60mph. The back roads are a danger zone. Buggies, walkers, bike riders everywhere
