There are numerous drivers on the road today who have had multiple DUIs, moving violations, tickets, court appearances, thousands of $$$ in fines, accidents, lost jobs, had their licenses suspended or revoked, even spent time in jail, yet they continue to drive (possibly still intoxicated) on a regular basis. What makes you think that "documenting" a near miss is going to have any effect on this driver's behavior?
Our local law enforcement has an aggressive driving phone number in place, and with our collision rates ranking somewhere between
#1 and
#2 , for a city of our population, our law enforcement takes these incidents rather seriously. Ever since I started videoing my commutes, and having better information to make a more detailed report, the number of intentional close passes and harassment towards me has diminished.
