I posted that video on my buddies Facebook page, and told him just because you have a BMW doesn't mean you're allowed to do this.

What I want to know is why was that car randomly video taping a drive down the freeway?

I have a buddy setting up 4 cameras in his truck because crazy **** like this happens all the time when he is driving and it is damning evidence in an accident.

People do that (cut close, not hit me) in all makes: Honda, Toyota, Lexus, MBZ, even SuBaRu'S@?!. This douche just so happen to be in a BMW and caught on film. Accidents happen every day, not every one is caused by a BMW.

Just my .02 (having owned a few BMW's)

****ty deal though for who ever films theres boring daily commute.

QFT. Too many dickwads on the road always pulling this ish. Plenty of room behind me, I'm about to pass the car in front of the them, and BOOM they try to ****ing squeeze through the nonexistent gap between the front of my car and the back of the car in front of them. MOTHER****ERS!!!!!!!!!
