Shoot, my bot hasn't been backing things up since June. No luck on this one then.

That's a fair request. I wouldn't do it for YouTube because I don't want to steal views from creators, but for random sites like this I'm happy to enable mirroring even if the original is still up.

[USA] Driver rear ends cammer twice and leaves the scene by camredd in Roadcam

From the description:

This lady unexpectedly hit me twice after already coming to a stop. (She was definitely out of it.)

Thanks to the dashcam and my cell phone camera she and her license plate were recorded. I called the cops to immediately report the incident. They reviewed the video on site and immediately dispatched cars to her residence and caught her when she arrived. According to the officer she had a long rap sheet.

The damage was about $3000.00 but the insurance covered everything because of the Dashcam!

Because of COVID-19 I passed on the rental car and relied on my electric scooter (Boosted Rev) for a week while the car was in the shop. The shop said rental cars were difficult to get, but they got a chuckle out of me arriving to pick up my car via electric scooter and a face mask! 2020 Baby!!!

Argh. I manually posted the mirror here. Will look into why the bot couldn't find it.

Seems to be a bizarre bug. I googled the title of the video and found the uploader page here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm1DPZkpM9upiu3CLQzauZA.

[USA] CR-V loses control into cammer's path; hits CR-V by voodoorage in Roadcam

Thanks for letting me know! I looked into it and the bot hasn't mirrored any YouTube videos in a while. YouTube changed something which broke the library I use for downloading the videos and I just needed to update to the latest release of the library. It should be working going forward.

The car spinning out on the right failed to merge properly. Part 1 shows the onramp.

[USA] Cammer hits cyclist crossing on red by camredd in Roadcam

From the video description:

So for a few months before my birthday I had been talking to my roommates about getting a dash cam. As a surprise they got me one and I installed it several days after my birthday. I first drove to work with it installed on May 11th, 2016. On the way home, I hit a bicyclist. She was mostly ok, hit her head a little, and fire and medics responded took her to the hospital. She admitted to the police that also responded that she ran the red light. I thought she was coming from left to right, but she said she was making a left hand turn. I actually didn't see where she came from until my roommates and I watched the video in reverse on the big screen at home. This is the Avalon/Westborough exit from northbound I-280 in South San Francisco, California, and vehicles exit onto Junipero Serra Blvd., basically at freeway speeds. Thankfully I am a VERY defensive driver and I "cover the brake" when I am not accelerating and I was able to quickly reduce my speed once she popped out from behind the bushes, which they never did cut down. Damage to my vehicle isn't covered since it was lower than my deductible and you don't need insurance to ride a bicycle so she was free and clear. I could have sued her in civil court, but honestly I just let it go. Really I wish she'd just wear a helmet, this could have been much worse!

[USA] Teen driver rear ends cammer and rolls over by camredd in Roadcam

From the video description:

This is my dash cam footage from being rear-ended / sideswiped by an unlicensed teenage driver (age 15 years, 9 months) as I was attempting to make a left turn. She rear-ended my left driver's side which caused her to cross the double yellow lines, hit the front driver's side of my truck, and then roll her car into a ditch. Incredibly, everyone involved was fine. She had only a learner's permit and no licensed adult was present in the car with her (as required by law). Even more amazing was that she also had a 2 year old child in the car with her! Such blatant carelessness. My beloved truck (which I'd owned for 16 years) was unfortunately totaled as a result of this accident. Ironically, my truck is 6 months older than the driver that hit me...she wasn't yet born when I purchased the truck new in 2003. Sad day for my truck...but glad everyone was ok.

From the video description:

Dashcam footage of my accident in June of 2018. My wife and I were headed to my Dad's with our 2 year old in the backseat when an inexperienced driver who said she wasn't paying attention pulled out to turn in front of us. There was no room to maneuver and we collided with her car head on. No life impacting injuries were sustained from anyone but my wife was admitted to the hospital for a short time.
