I witnessed part of an accident that left a 20 year old US Marine laying dead in the highway after being hit by a car where that driver apparently fled the scene on foot. The driver was later found and charged with felony hit and run and DUI; a lady was charged with a felony for aiding the fleeing driver. This was Friday night as I was headed out of town and only two blocks from home. Home is where I went after giving my statements to the police. It was not the best weekend for me, worse for his family. I feel very bad for his family/friends. A few of them received word of the accident and came to scene. One thing that really got to me was the number of gawkers in the lanes on the other side of the highway that came to near standstill - if not complete stops until the police moved their cars to block the view. I believe that took a bit of time because they had to investigate things before parking were they could block the view.

Two weeks ago I was making a left into my neighborhood... Person behind thinks I'm making a right and tries to pass on the left (in the oncoming lane!) no serious injuries, thankfully.
Arrrggh.

OUCH! Everytime I see sketchy behavior I swear I am going to get a dashcam, but then I get bewildered by all the $20 junk out there and the good ones seem to all be $200-$300 and up.
