    Over my career as an LEO I worked a LOT of vehicle collisions. The two types of POVs that seemed to get the worst of it due to piss poor drivers (the other guy that is) were, needless say, motorcycles and RVs in the Class C and Class A categories. For whatever reason, "the other guy" felt he or she could squeeze in between a moving RV and the vehicle ahead of said RV or beat a motorcycle in a (usually left hand) turn if they even bothered to look to see if ANYTHING was coming before making that left hand turn. But then some of those same dim bulbs though they could also squeeze in between fully loaded tractor trailer trucks and whatever was in front of said tractor trailer truck. That stupid maneuver often ended up in tragedy. I applaud you for maintaining your cool , your foresight for installing and maintaining a fully functional dash cam system, and for immediately calling 911 to report the collision.

    I got you by a few years and had my first serious accident about a year ago. An SUV driving to fast for the snowy / icy road conditions lost control and ended up shoving me into a guardrail. It took me a while to start feeling comfortable behind the wheel again. Slightly different situation as far as the other driver having insurance. Every time I thought the event was wrapped something else came up with doctor's appointments etc. Go slow when they come back with estimates, etc. Double check what they tell you as best as you can before you sign anything.
    Every larger city I've driven through has a number of aggressive and stoopid drivers. The quieter places aren't immune, but it tends to be a different kind of stupid.

    LA is not like most of California. Give it up for CHP (California Highway Patrol) though, they got after him, and caught him.
    Now, I'm glad you are OK. Is there anyway to cut back over close to the central valley and bypass LA ? Once you are north of Oakland, then go back toward the coast. Ft Bragg California would be a good place to rest up for a day or 5. Lots of RV parks, skunk train, redwoods, etc. The road into it sucks though. Or Eureka- it is big enough to have rv repair.

In both WA and Oregon all the blue is west of the cascades the other side of the mountains all red. Even rural areas on the west side are red. This kind of divide is true in ALL states. Texas - Austin is blue, Montana - Missoula is blue. 99% of the red/blue divide is manufactured and propaganda has caused people who were friends and neighbors to hate each other. Meanwhile, the government does what is profitable for the big companies who buy them into office on both sides and screw the people.

The accident was similar to the driver was going to fast and swerve and caught the corner drive side bumper and end up in the concrete barrier and totaled their car. You guest it, uninsured driver and accident caught on the back-up camera. Car had only 3800 miles on it and the insurance co. would cover four weeks for rental. Car went to the insurance chosen body shop mid Dec and she just got it back two weeks ago. The car was suppose to be done mid Jan, but the delay in getting the OEM parts to get the work done took another two months. You living full time, I would suggest who ever does the work make sure they have the parts on hand before you take it to the shop. Peace and again glad you weren't hurt and the cats are all right.

    I know EXACTLY what you mean> I used to drive a 16 ton truck. One day a car did to me exactly what happened to you. It was a Chervy Nova. I never saw the car until it was wrapped around the front end of my truck. The woman said she was driving right beside me for 1/4 of a mile and I wouldn't let her in so she decided to try and beat me through the intersection. The cop explained to her that it's not my responsibility to make sure she gets in the lane she wants to be in and if she's driving right beside me there's no way I cold possibly see her turn signal and probably couldn't even see her car. She got a ticket and was charged with the accident. Her car had the sheet metal ripped off the side of it because she hooked my bumper when she tried to cut me off. My truck had no damage at all. Not even scratched paint. Good luck, my friend.

    Glad you and kitties are okay! You're obviously a good driver to be 40, and to not have ever filed a claim. I also hope you have "uninsured motorist" in your coverage. So smart to always to use the dash cam, we will be using ours too after seeing this video. I can always delete after each trip. You are my favorite you-tuber, you make me lol. Don't worry about the haters. Haters going to hate, they're just jealous. I'm sorry you had such a rough day.

    I just came across your video at Disney California adventure and enjoyed seeing an out of stater have so much fun in my home parks. Then I was recommended this video on my feed.
    I’m sorry that your trip to California was marred by this moron, I truly am. I’m over 40 and have also never been in an accident. There’s no doubt that your frustration was pent up from those other close call videos. But from what I can tell, at least one, if it both of those close calls were NOT in California.
    I know frustration and nerves can get the best of you during the heat of the moment, but I hope you’re aware that the comments like “you guys are all idiots in California”, “that’s typical of Californians” and “typical idiot of Los Angeles” are only gonna bring out the hate from others who are just itching to make even worse stereotypical comments about “everybody in a specific state”. And all you have to do is read some of the comments from your viewers below to see that those are the results. I think most of your quarter million subs are mature enough to understand that this was out of frustration, and they’ve probably seen enough vids of you to know you’re not really that bigoted.
    Trust me, i am not proud of some of the laws that this state has in place, but stooping to the same low level as this criminal that swiped you (cause THAT’S what he is) is just gonna generate more stereotypical hatred. And that also not the way to go, bud.
    I hope everything goes well with getting this big guy fixed up. Hope this incident hasn't marred you from ever coming back to Disney & Cali adventure.

    I was born and raised in CA, and this does not surprise me at all. Pretty common when it is a hit and run in CA, there is no insurance, no drivers license, no registration, and dare I say it, no documents either. Now that I no longer live there, and have no desire to either, the only reason we go there is for Disney, Magic Mountain, Knott's, Universal, and to see old high school friends from back in the day. Other than that, I want nothing to do with CA. All my old stomping grounds in LA from my younger years, are now crime ridden slums... In fact, my old childhood home which was in a pretty nice neighborhood back in the day, now has bars on the windows and doors.

I honestly can’t BELIEVE there wasn’t ONE person that would stay and be a witness. That’s insanity. You were on I-15…what area of LA. county were you in? That, unfortunately, may have been the problem. The MAIN concern is that you, Tara and Opie are alright. Your rig can be fixed and think about it…..the damage could have been a lot worse than it was. We stay out of LA traffic whenever possible. Too many crazies out there. I’m really sorry, too, that this had to happen in LA just when it was becoming “palatable” for you!

    So very sorry to know about this horrible incident - all we can say "Thank GOD, you and the kitties are physically unhurt and the dash cams caught all the images as solid evidence usable by the insurance co." You must know Eric that more & more people every day are getting angrier, more impatient & it's so much faster for most to lash out in violence. These people have CALLOUSED hearts. This guy sped off - but you could be hurt by him in broad daylight & in full view of the public - who may not come to your aid. It's not just LA or Detroit or Chicago - it's all over the world. We don't have a dash cam but as older folks, we don't travel far from homebase. We realize that there's a lot more anger from the violent young towards older people. It's so natural to be shaken up - so don't be concerned about appearances. That's why we say, "happy & safe travels". We understand your predicament. Glad Miss Tara and Master Opie are not injured @ all by any objects from the top. Thumbs up.

Luckily we weren't physically injured,but he smashed the driver's side and the insurance company totaled the car. It was also luck that it happened near an exit where there was a grassy area for us to pull onto and no other vehicles were involved. I see people driving illegally every time I go out and it's a good thing I'm a defensive driver and try to keep aware of things around me.
