1. The guy with the dashcam probably feels that anyone who overtakes him is a douchebag.
2. I do not see any evidence of a crash, just a car on fire on the shoulder of the highway.
3. Google "Corvette On Fire Video" and you will get to see several examples. None of which were the result of a crash. Cars do catch on fire every now and then, usually caused by an electrical short.

How does anybody including the guy with the dash cam get douche bag idiot driver from that video. It doesn't show the crash or the circumstances that caused it. The dash cam guy was way behind the accident as evidenced by how developed the fire was and the drivers distance up the road. Also curious as to how he knew who the driver was. Weaving? Since when is changing lanes weaving? The silver sedan that passed the dash cam was traveling the same speed as the Vette. I'll give the Vette the benefit of the doubt on this one.

I would probably hit a pole too if flames started shooting out of my hood honestly. Not saying the guy wasnt driving like a douche, but as yall said zero evidence. Corvette automatically equals douche for some people, for some reason.

I see guys driving 'like that' all the time, but not in Corvettes.
I think i"m more worried about 'the soccer moms' late for an appointment at the local walmart.

Did not see a douchebag driver in what I saw, but was not witness to all of the events either.
Douchebags to me are those who think they are driving in Europe and the left lane is reserved for slower traffic. That and cell phone drivers.
I agree about the handling a car bit. Just because you CAN go fast, does not always mean you should (spoken by one who has a led foot).

10 minutes pass between the first shot and the dash cam guy passing the accident scene. I am very familiar with the accident location. It is on the eastbound side of the San Mateo bridge. Corvette was traveling from south San Francisco to Hayward on highway 92. The newspaper said the accident was called in at 2:59 pm. Dash cam guy drove past at 3:05. No one who has posted up on this thread including dash cam guy knows how or why the accident happened. If you've ever driven in Bay Area commute traffic 3 lane changes in 10 seconds is not far from the norm. Driving like an idiot, douchebag, really? Oh so quick to convict.

If I saw someone driving like that I would keep my distance since he was an accident waiting to happen.
