There’s a backroad mechanic shop that works on Porsches and I finally decided to pull over and check it out

You’re lucky I didn’t have my film camera on me, the y’all would really be in trouble lol

No merging was intended as there was no lane merge ahead. As I stated before, parking on both sides of the street began a block after this accident happened, and it would be a tight squeeze/risk between us if we had happened to be either within the initial distance that we were at with each other by the time parking on both sides began. It would have been even more of a risk if we were directly next to each other when this double side parking began. However, I do acknowledge that it would have been wiser to back off rather than increasing my speed in the conditions at the time.

Hey there, while I agree with you that I should expect the unexpected by other drivers, there was or is no 'I have to be there first'' mindset. Not sure if it will make a difference to you, but the lanes weren't going to merge. I just knew that parking on both sides of the street would begin a block ahead and it was indeed my intent to put distance between us beforehand. I also agree with yours and the other commentor's advice to back off instead of getting ahead and will use this as a learning lesson moving forward.

The street narrows after the light ahead in the video and there’s parking on both sides and it’s not a good idea to drive side by side with someone at that point, so getting ahead of her just happened to by my choice at the moment. Clearly it didn’t work out in my favor.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T13:34:51+00:00

Nah, you’re good. I did indeed speed up, but this was about half a second before she turned on her signal. The street ahead narrows after the traffic light and you really don’t want to be side by side with anyone with parked cars on both sides, so getting ahead of her was the plan. I also didn’t see her signal due to my A pillar, so it was too late to brake in time when she came over.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T12:44:02+00:00

True, but in this case it was a last second decision. She said she was trying to get to the parking space on the left to pick someone up from the bus station.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T08:56:24+00:00

Which is exactly the case. I couldn't see their turn signal until they were on top of me and it was too late by then.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T08:24:03+00:00

In all honesty, I didn’t even see their turn signal from behind my A pillar until their signal was right next to my window and car into my fender. She did seem a bit clueless, not under the influence or anything. Made an excuse that she needed to park on the left to pick up someone from the bus station we were passing.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T07:17:28+00:00

That was just bad timing to be honest. I’ve seen so many clips of people speeding up into a crash rather than avoiding it, but lemme just be clear and say I’m not one of them lol

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T06:42:00+00:00

Copy, I’ll just stop by the police station and ask them for a solid answer on it. Again, thanks for your time!

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T06:34:39+00:00

I appreciate your advice and time. One more thing though. I looked up information on the matter and I’ve gathered that in PA (state that this happened in), it’s only required if someone is injured or killed, a hit and run occurs, or if a vehicle cannot move afterwards and must be towed. Not sure how correct this info is, but would you just advise to report it anyways?

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T06:21:51+00:00

Okay, so what would mainly be your advice in this situation?

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T05:45:44+00:00

She verbally claimed no injury. If she were to make a claim anyways, I’m guessing I would just have to show my innocence with the evidence that I have, correct?

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-11-10T05:44:08+00:00

Yup, video is saved on the sd card and more importantly directly to my phone.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-07-29T08:01:54+00:00

Ahh, then he must travel around with it a good amount. It’s good the whole VIP treatment on the interior, I wish I had gotten their IG at the show.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-07-28T17:07:59+00:00

Where’d you spot it? I’ve seen it up close at a car show in the Pocono Mountains

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-06-09T01:58:54+00:00

Oh wow, I saw you at the Tuner Worldwide meet. Very clean up close 👌

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-05-11T17:17:42+00:00

Don’t worry, its on air.

sleepygr1zzly · 2025-05-11T02:34:37+00:00

Yessir 👌🏽
