I have dashcams on both my FRS and WRX and have had some minor close calls as well. I remember one time passing a black Mercury Moutaineer and as I got to the point where my front right fender crossed into their rear left fender they started to merge. Obviously they neglected to check their blindspot but once they started moving into my lane they finally looked over and went back into their lane. I honked my horn and sped past them to avoid any further interactions with that driver. Once I got home and took a look at the footage it was very deceiving in that it looked like they were merging much further ahead of my car than they really were. My wife and I decided to do an experiment. I had the car parked and she was outside taking direction as I told her to stand in the spot that the car was trying to merge at. She almost made it to where the side view mirror was at when I told her to stop and that was where the car's rear tail light would have merged into me. It's just deceiving how far everything looks in video with wide FOV lenses. Mine has a 170 degree of FOV and makes everything look much further than they really are. |
