When we installed a\u00a0BlackVue dashcam<\/a> in the Boxster a few\u00a0years ago, we hadn’t anticipated that it would become such \u00a0a part of our driving experience that we now find it odd to be in\u00a0a vehicle without its\u00a0always-on recording capability. We\u00a0have recorded many “interesting” moments on the road and have been sharing them as appropriate.<\/p>\n

We drive between Boston and New York City all the time. During a recent\u00a0drive back to Boston a month,\u00a0we were\u00a0reminded that people always seem to signal\u00a0when about to change lanes. This is very nice. However, what we saw many times was that once that signal had been made, the lane change was going to\u00a0be executed regardless of whether the lane is clear.<\/p>\n

Apparently, the signal is to indicate that a lane change is about to take place and whomever may be in the way should get the f’ck out of the way…<\/p>\n

Note first the black SUV in the middle lane merging to the left, then later the white box truck going into the middle lane…that\u00a0silver van almost got tagged twice in less than a minute!!!<\/p>\n

Five minutes later, a red SUV did the same thing to us. Fortunately, the driver decided to not try and violate the physics of space\/time in with us.<\/p>\n

Lest readers think that this behavior occurred just on that particular trip and\/or that the behavior is limited to car and van drivers, the clip below shows a tractor trailer executing the\u00a0“signal & go” maneuver. We gave him the finger when we later passed him (which we judiciously chose not to record).<\/p>\n

The\u00a0wide-angle cam makes the above\u00a0clip look like that tractor trailer merely\u00a0passed us\u00a0instead of almost putting us\u00a0into the divider. In reality it\u00a0definitely would have crushed us\u00a0if we had not braked….<\/p>\n

As much as we love driving the Boxster, we are looking forward to the day of robotic truck drivers and automated cars!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
