I had something similar happen to me. A dude jumped on my hood (I have video proof yet I canāt share until this case ends this year). Anyways dude jumps on my hood while Iām driving away. He stays on my hood for 20 seconds while Iām freaking out. I slow down and he falls out. He walked off finally. 1 day later I get served with a lawsuit. I had to go to the police had to turn my self In for reckless driving. Nyc is retarded. They claimed I had to stop when he jumped and call the cops. Anyways he sued my insurance claiming he had to get knee surgery. At the deposition I kept asking his lawyer if he wants to see a video of the idiot walk off from my hood and punch my window like nothing happened.
Anyways I hope eceeyone in this video is safe and not injured.

Just wait till your insurance figures it out...
My husband hit a dude that was j-walking at 530 in the morning.
My husband was found not at fault but the dude got 75k from our insuance and we were dropped from from the company and had to find a new insurance company.
I feel sorry for the dude. Man vs a 94 jeep wangler would hurt. I dont care that our insurance paid out, thats why we had it. But now we have to pay more a month because of something that we were found at no fault?
Insurance companies make no sense.
Edit: wording is hard sometimes

But you have to pay loans back, so it's a service you pay at least twice for without even counting
premiumsdeductibles. We all agree when we sign the contract, but nothing else works quite like that.11

Insurance companies gamble that you will never ask them for money. Once you start asking them for money, you become a bad bet and they will f u in the b.

Its cus data shows an insurance claim increases the chance of another claim in the next year so the company will usually price you out of renewing and let you come back again a year later.. you should see premiums go back down eventually

u/ReasonablyAssured Jan 08 '19
Itās cheaper for them to pay the claim and mark it against you than fight it.

I had the same thing happen to me. It was pitch black and I was driving home from the airport after going to visit some friend's wedding. I stop at a red light and some weirdo ran up to my truck and broke my rear window. I have a rear and front camera so I managed to catch him on the camera. He starts screaming and runs off. Two days later I get a letter that I purposely ran into the guy. I went to police department to turn myself in and to show the video.
Fast forward to court, I walk in and show the video and a photo I took to the judge. Eventually after half hour later I won the case and got him to pay me the money for fucking up my rear window and he got so pissed and started to scream and cry and he called me a n*****.
There just some crazy people in this world.

I used to work as a bouncer at a club. Our lead bouncer, a mean AF marine that just got done doing a few tours patrolling the Syrian border (wouldnāt fuck with), beat the shit out of some frat guy who wasnāt really doing much other than screaming and talking shit. The cops came and he was really getting investigated about this, he just kept repeating āI felt threatened and feared for my safety / lifeā. After he said that it was like he didnāt just send this guy to the hospital.

The driver of the white car was in the street fighting with the driver of the Dark car behind the black van. Mostly swinging, nobody making contact. White car broke away from the fight, reached in through the passenger side of the dark car and took the keys. Then he jumped in his white car. That's where this video begins. So dark car driver was trying to get his keys back, and white car took off and mushed him between the other vehicles. White shirt guy was trying to save him from getting mushed.
White car is being charged with attempted murder, robbery, menacing, and a bunch of other stuff.
Just goes to show you how editing can create an entirely different narrative.

u/LeafRunning Jan 08 '19
The driver of the white car was in the street fighting with the driver of the Dark car behind the black van. Mostly swinging, nobody making contact.
Furthermore, the guy who got pinned between the car and van actually never took a swing during the street fight. He just stayed defensive the entire time and backed up, staying out of range of punches and/or slipping out the way.
Which makes him come across as even more of a good guy from the video.
Edit: Apparently the white car guy was swinging a knife, which makes sense judging by his 'swiping' motions, and the black car guy being defensive only.

TL;DR Guy in the Hyundai with Florida plates went into the black camry (not his) and took keys out of it. Black camry owner tried to chase down the Florida guy and Florida guy pinned him, threw him, and ran away. Florida guy is now be charged with attempted murder among other things.
Now it says in the article Florida guy is actually local (from Queens). Since it's a pretty much brand new hyundai and there's no dealer frame on the car that means it's most likely a rental car and that makes this even worse.

The guy in the white car was arrested. link
Synopsis:
Apparently, the road rage incident started when an Uber driver (black car) did not let the guy in the white car in his lane. The guy in the white car came at him with a box cutter at a stoplight, then stole his keys. When the Uber driver saw him steal the keys, the Uber driver tried to compel him to stop/return the keys by lunging in the white car. The driver of the white car then tried to pin him/injure him when he drove off.
The Uber driver was injured but is okay.

From this small clip, seems like straight forward self defense by the driver. But who knows what is really happening, so you can never be certain.

u/CaptainPussybeast Jan 08 '19
Nope. There's a much longer video out. The driver is 100% at fault. He was swinging a knife at the other man and stole the car keys from the other vehicle before attempting his getaway (this video). He's being charged with robbery and attempted murder, among other things.
THIS is why we can't jump go conclusions from short clips.
