I need to buy myself a dash camera. Like, right now.
That’s all there is to it. I need to start documenting the things I see on the road because to simply write about them isn’t enough to make people believe.
Take, for instance, something that a former colleague of mine – Martin van den Hemel – recording while driving.
In the video – attached to this blog – you can watch and then scream as an idiot driver backs out of their driveway and into a busy intersection.
The video is painful and infuriating. The drivers moves ever so gingerly backwards even as other drivers – and a cyclist - enter the intersection.
The driver stops for a moment to let another driver turn and then keeps going.
Another pet peeve. Drivers who back out of their driveway across a lane (or two). #hazard #smh @RichmondDrivers pic.twitter.com/d0Cg5pJu20

Why a driveway was allowed in this location, I have no idea. But the driver should have pulled into their driveway and then backed around to face the intersection so they could drive forward when it was time to leave, instead of back into a frickin’ intersection.
What. A. Gong. Show.
