Hello, all. This is where all the dashcammers of YouTube seem to congregate, so I decided to join in on the party. Anyways, I run a channel on YouTube known as Bad Drivers of Southern Ontario. This is where I upload 5-to-10-minute-long compilations of motoring mishaps happening throughout Southern Ontario, many clips of which take place within a half-hour of Toronto and Hamilton.
I'm relatively new to dashcamming. I've only had a dash cam on my truck since around Christmas, but I somehow managed to amass enough footage to take up a substantial chunk of my hard drive and create four compilations with a reasonable length. Anywho, before that time, after encountering quite a lot of stupidity on the road, from an angry, distracted driver doing 10 under the limit while smoking, putting on makeup and flipping me off while I legally overtake them all at the same time, to another driver running a red light and nearly T-boning me, and even a cyclist yelling at me after I honk at them for cutting me off, and way, way more, I realized that there is way too much stupidity on the road (and too many drivers refusing to own up to their mistakes) and that I needed a dash cam to prove who is really is fault whenever one of these drivers ends up causing an accident. I planned on getting a cheap dash cam to do the job, but after realizing that the cheap dash cam I bought was surprisingly competent, and after amassing enough footage of motoring mishaps to make a reasonably-long video in a reasonable span, and after seeing a bunch of other YouTube compilations of crappy drivers, I decided to join in on the fun and start BDofSO.
Below is the latest (as of 03/25/15) edition of BDofSO. Enjoy, and thanks for taking the time to read through my somewhat long-winded introduction.
(For those who are curious, I edited the first three compilations and the first channel trailer using iMovie, but after being fed up by how limited (and poorly-designed) it was, I moved on to a much more professional editing suite. Specifically, Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5. Having a background in communications and consequently being familiar with Adobe's software made the transition pretty reasonable.)
