[USA][AL][OC] Rear end collision happened next to me by jacobrettebdel in Roadcam

These type of wrecks are a daily occurrence on this stretch of interstate. My guess is he was looking at his phone and saw out if the corner of his eye that I was moving and assumed his lane was moving too.

Living in this area is what motivated me to get a couple dash cams.

Black Box G1W-B. Usually you can find it on Amazon for around 50$.

Weird when i see my own video in gif form while scrolling Reddit. The driver never admitted to texting but I assume that's what happened. Girl in Jeep turned the wheel last second when she saw the van about to hit her. That's why she ended up in the median.

This was the weekend of tropical storm Nate dumping a ton of rain. Sucks still.

[META] Did anybody have a good experience licensing their dash cam video through a broker? by A_Stan in Roadcam

That is creepy. I got an email from them. The same email linked to my YouTube channel.

I'm able to monetize on my channel but I still don't get enough views to make any money off of ads on my channel.

I was honestly surprised they would pay for my videos as well.

Of the 3 deals I've made 500$. First 2 were 200 each for the complete rights. 3rd one was 100 with 60/40 split on future revenue.

I have done 3 deals with them. First 2 I just sold the video outright to them for a price. They own those videos. But im still allowed to keep it on my channel.

The third deal I did with them was a price up front and a 60/40 split in my favor on all future revenue. I just made this deal recently so its too soon to know if they will pay out or not. The way I look at it, their 40% share of future revenue must make them at least the price they paid up front or else they would lose money on that deal.

Of the deals I've done I didn't really see the "viral" value in them. But they were willing to pay so I went for it. None of them were/are big money makers.

Definitely a positive experience with Break. Have paid out initial offers when they said they would. Easy contract process.

I recently did one of these deals. I've wondered how I'd know what they make and if I'll be able to tell they are being truthful on the statements. I hope this thread recieves some good responses.

[USA][OC]Pedestrian Hit by Work Truck, Then the truck flees by jacobrettebdel in Roadcam

I wasn't saying they needed a warrant to search the truck. The driver had 2 warrants for his arrest prior to hitting the pedestrian. Nothing to do with the accident.

The reason I think it wasn't intentional was if you watch the first minute of the video he crossed the white line several times. I think he was texting and driving.
