How not to drive your GX470

Saw this video on YouTube.

Driver Takes Revenge on Second Driver - YouTube

Certainly demonstrates both the on-road and off-road capabilities of the GX470

Every day in Los Angeles..hahaha! Still funny though. The quickest way to make sure you aren't allowed to merge is to use your blinker in L.A. Cars will tighten up to each others bumpers to make sure you never get to merge, even in 5 mph traffic where it really doesn't matter.

I saw a guy not too long ago get out and knock another guy out at the stop light cuz he cut him off. He got out calmly walked up to the guys car that was nosed in front of him and socked him in the face. The guy slumped over in the seat and his car drifted into a fence across the intersection. Everyone, including the guy that socked him, drove right off as if it didn't even happen. Only in California!

In other countries many insurance providers will only insure you if you have a camera like that installed. Makes proving fault that much easier.

I imagine it will stat to become more common place here in the US soon

Even if it will try to happen which i don't believe it will, it will at least be delayed 5-10 years by the people here that feel very strongly against it and have power, which i am sure there are plenty.

Gotta say, that was pretty freaking hilarious. Need to try that on my buddys' mini sometime...right after he washes it, of course! lol

this is hilarious! The guy in the Lexus obviously made a mistake, but the butt head in the sedan wouldnt let him in front because he kept trying to force his way up. He was only being so aggressive to prevent from getting wrecked head-on in the other lane. The guy in the Lexus definetly deserves the "Most Creative use of roadrage in a 4x4" Award!

but the guy with the camera backed way off and gave plenty of room for the Lexus to get in behind the guy in the sedan.

They both had something to prove which I think was shown by the way they chased off after it was all done.

Here we have a problem the other way, people will be driving on main roads with the right of way then they will stop to let someone who is waiting at a stop sign in front of them.

The car got owned. That's really funny.

I agree they both had to have been pricks. I drove like that when I first started driving, but I quickly learned it's better for my health and safety to chill. Let the dipsticks have their accidents somewhere else.
