Welp it happened again but different this time

If you do get his insurance, try not to say he intentionally rammed you. Which he did. It will void his coverage to cover you since it’s not considered an accident anymore. It’s weird, but I had that happen to a friend, and he had to use his uninsured/underinsured coverage.
Interesting. I’m waiting for my insurance to reach back out to me this week. Hopefully insurance tracks him down and they take care of it
 
WTF is going on in that place. I know it's one of the top crime states, but this kind of mental illness, yup as always AI needs to get here sooner than later.

Traveling up to Taos, NM today and this dude decided I wasn’t moving out of the way fast enough so he rammed us twice with his ARB bumper. He’s definitely done this before, you could tell he wasn’t mad or anything just braced himself and boom.

Troopers showed up in 30mins which was nice. Of course no one stopped, not even the truck/trailer that I cut off getting out of the way…

Got his plate from the front camera and on the rear video you can see he almost side swiped a BMW sedan. Dude is a menace! I believe he’s got current plates so hopefully they show up at his house shortly.

Everyone needs a front & rear dash camera

Holy smokes!! That's nuts!!! Glad everyone is OK. I'been toying with the idea of a dash cam but this makes me think I NEED one. What kind do you have? Did you install? Thanks and I hope they catch this guy!

I have the VIOFO A229 Pro, it’s front & rear.

Here’s a post with more info, super easy to install

FWIW, post the video on tacomaworld and ask if anyone knows this person. Chances are, he’s a member. TW is a great forum.
Not trying to identify the guy, the cops surely have his info from the plate. This was more of a look as this BS post and here’s my repair cost.

Earlier in this video he ran someone else off the road.

Yeah that BMW sedan almost got side swiped. As the BMW passes me he’s on his phone taking a picture. Wish he would’ve pulled over with me so we could both file a report.

I’m mad about the asshole but I’m equally mad no one stopped to check on us

I struggle to think how I would handle something like this, especially if my daughter was in the car. If I was by myself I’d put the Texas self defense laws to the test, that’s for sure.
 
That guy is going to end up in a bad way someday. Guys like that are tough guys until they meet a real tough guy. I’m just glad you and the family are ok, and hoping your Land Cruiser enjoys a speedy and full recovery!

I also hope the New Mexico State Police take this matter seriously. In the state of Washington it would be a tossup. In the state of Idaho, he’d be a project for the Idaho State Police and probably wouldn’t enjoy his encounter with them.
 
I noticed the other rear cam video of this coward on the Tacoma forums says "Land Cruiser" at the bottom of the screen. Identical MO as this one here. Is this a case of extreme LC envy?

I think Matsayz by being extremely calm and not escalding the situation made the most intelligent move. When I saw the video, I was shocked. I was more upset than the driver. But after thinking about it, it's just material. We have to let time and justice take their course.
 
The amount of disrespect is unbelievable. You can tell he has spent serious money on his truck so it's mind boggling to me that there is so little concern for others' property (let alone safety of others). Dude belongs in jail. Was probably drunk.

The video on the Tacoma forum is mine as well, another member posted my youtube link there.
 
Sorry that happened to you. That's just bizarre! That guy deserves criminal charges and, in my opinion, jail time. With traffic traveling at 80, that could have ended very badly. I'm glad it didn't. I hope they catch him and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. I admire your attitude about it. I dented my LC on my garage and I was so mad I wanted to burn the house down - then I remembered I live there. Lol. If nothing else, this moves a front and rear 'dash' cam system higher up my mods wish list.
