Was just trying around with GoPro and nearly got brushed by an idiot. A fast swirl to the right saved me... We were doing about 50mph if you're wondering...

This angers me. I hate when that happens. Usually, when a situation like that occurs, I follow the guy and fuck with him until I'm sure he's as pissed about my driving as I am about his, or until I'm bored, then I give him the middle finger or an air-jerk.
I have bad road rage, and screw you, I don't need help.

+1 for road rage

It happened so fast I don't even have time to brake or honk. I swirled to the right by instinct... I think that driver must be texting or something.

I like how OP keeps saying "swirl" instead of "swerve."

Drive gracefully or GTFO. Swirling out the way FTW. Me driving:

I'm actually compiling footage for a "Look at how bad Mississippi drivers are" video or something like that. Surely a future YouTube classic.

Unfortunately I've been diϲking around in the Middle East for the last half of a year, but I already have a good 9 months or so worth of footage just chilling on my hard drive at home.

My girlfriend got into a wreck last year that was clearly, blatantly, OBVIOUSLY the other person's fault, but the old woman had connections and got it ruled as no one at fault. So I bought my girlfriend a GoPro right after that. Which she doesn't use. But still... if she did... it would be a great idea.

Yeah im currently in the same position as your gf. An old man hit me and even admitted fault but then he switched his story to the cops and blaimed it on me.,

The little road behind my subdivision that I take to get home everyday is pretty skinny, so even with proper lane control it gets pretty close. Unfortunately, there's a decent number of big trucks in the area, some hauling trailers and such, and they don't quite fit on this road. Pretty much every time I drive it I catch someone over the line, either direction, be it a truck that doesn't fit, or an idiot with no lane control. Luckily I've never dealt with anyone like the OP did. They always jerk back to their side when they see someone. That guy was obviously distracted.
