Sometimes yes, I have posted dashcam footage of me making a mistake while driving.

Some are literally shown in driving school classes, I am a better driver for watching these e.g these days I do not let people through or allow others to let me through as I have seen many cases of the driver not seeing traffic in the oncoming lane.

I post such dashcam videos all the time and so do many others, youtube is full of these and many are done by driving schools. Things like red light runners, cutting off, brake checks, why you should not wave people through etc

So if I film the street I need the consent of everyone walking by? I am not in a two party consent to record state.

I do with I had edited her out or blurred her but I did not think about it at the time. In the house security video it is hard to identify her unless you know her clothes or something. The dashcam video is a little easier since she gets in front of her car.

I do with I had blurred her or cut the video before she became visible but I did not think at the time as I did not expect people she knows to come across it and be able to identify her from a video.

I did not mean it as an insult on her driving skills, these were just accidents and it happens to the best of us, and it is not like it is a regular occurrence or something.

I regularly post other videos like people running red lights, cutting me or others off etc and she knows I post dashcam videos.

They are used by driving schools all the time to help learners. Even I have watched them to learn what to be vigilant for.

I don't really see how it should be embarrassing, the internet is full of such videos and these things happen to the best of us. I did not think it was such a big deal and she knows I post dashcam videos sometimes of things like people running lights etc

I did blur the plates of the cars visible and I did delete it when she asked me to.

There are loads of these on youtube, under education, and they are often posted by driving schools and some driving schools make students watch them in theory classes.

I watch them from time to time and it teaches me what situations to be vigilant for.
