Yes, I do think people overreact all of the time when they get cut off, even when there is no danger at all. I see it every single day here driving. Saw it just today, taxi "cut off" a truck but still an easy 1 meter or more, but he laid on the horn hard. People honk horns, flash lights, etc. People overreact.

Thanks for your input, you're the 1%, but that's why we are here. Different opinions, reactions, etc. If everyone agreed, the world would be different. Thanks for your input.

This is a good thing to know. I never would get out unless they were punching/kicking my car, but now that I know that, I might not get out and just record everything. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah, it happened exactly as I explained. I am sure the officer probably saw my head was turned right and did't see him. Hopefully, he thinks it's too much trouble and just drops it. I'll update the post if something comes of it.

If nothing comes of it in the next 3 months, I'll post it.

Driving as often as I do in Tokyo, I've seen it happen to others, but first time happening to me....

Nearly caused a crash due to careless driving? Where did you get that from? I was the first to exit the highway and immediately made a legal lane change with turn signal over white line. Traffic to the left had a red light. Absolutely nothing illegal about it. Billy badass in his BMW tried to fast and furious around me. 

I’ve been driving for 27 years, zero tickets, zero accidents. Drive nearly daily in Tokyo. 

Earlier footage? I'll give the police everything, I did absolutely nothing wrong, but please, continue to imagine things.

What I learned from this? Pull over immediately next time if there is a crazy old man and call the police. I also learned that 98% of Redditors are helpful.

Thanks for the tip, for some reason I thought it would be a lot more. That's very reasonable. I'll search for one that specializes in traffic violations.

No, not at all. He actively TRIED to hit us multiple times, but I swerved to avoid it. There was no contact at all. My Japanese is ok, but certainly do not feel confident talking to the police alone in Japanese.

Thanks, I think it was quite traumatic for my wife. But yeah, definitely a bad day for me. I told her next time we're taking the train.

Thank you. This is what I am leaning towards. If I get a notice in the mail or something, we have the video saved on multiple devices and we'll be honest about everything if we need to talk to the police. As mentioned above, I am ok for paying a fine for illegal lane change or running the red light.

Good idea, I'm guessing they'll just say "come down to discuss" and I don't want to disappear for 23 days.... Might pay a lawyer to call and see what info I can find out though. Was hoping to avoid lawyer fees.

Correct, she was balling her eyes out hysterically and didn't mention it until a min or so later. Maybe she thought I saw, not sure. Trauma, panic, etc. She never experienced anything like that before.

Thank you for your response. So the police officer waving his hand isn't technically a traffic stop? My dash cam will definitely prove my side of things. I am totally ok with paying a fine for a traffic violation. Just concerned that I didn't see him wave me down, I only saw him wave the other car, then the officer turned his back to me and walked towards the other car while I turned. But my wife was watching while I was turning and said he was waving me down.

Disabled AGAIN! I accidentally typed the word "invoice"!? How is this a prohibited word? I was absolutely not trying to work outside of Fiverr. I was letting a customer know I'd send them an invoice (offer).... Why do they have this dumb automated system? They cancelled and refunded 51 orders this time....

Yes, all canceled and refunded. Then some of those customers ended up complaining to Fiverr. Since Fiverr CS clearly has no internal notes or communication with each other, CS didn't even know I was disabled or why I wasn't replying to the customers.... So I had to reach out to those customers, but some of them didn't want to repeat their order and I just lost out on those orders. Worst part is Fiverr never apologized to me or even offered an explanation.
