The yellow may actually help us with contrast. VLC allows you to magnify and crop different areas of video. I use it all the time when examining my surveillance camera. VLC is free for Windows, MacOS, Android, etc. The VLC app on my phone is limited though. Let me download the YT video and get a better look once I'm home.

This was a real challenge. The resolution of the dash cam video is 1080 but i don't think it is 60 fps. It is also possible YouTube further compressed the original video quality. In any case, below is the best I could do. To me, the license plate appears to be HYJ-9652 or 0YJ-9652. Anyone else see it differently? In California, you can perform license plate lookups so I wonder if your area offers similar services. Even if you're off by a character, the bottom screenshots hopefully help narrow down the possibilities and then maybe an online license plate database will return the make and model of vehicle that matches the Jeep that hit you. Good luck!

Just a typo, but I think you meant to say $1,000.98.

$1,099,98 is more than the required $1,001.

This has come up before on other forums...does it make sense to share all the details with strangers on a forum?

I met a woman whose son rear-ended someone else. (son and woman #1 in car). Woman #2 sued but shared so much info, claimed she was injured, yet had public facebook and linkedin, that it was established yes there was a rear end collision and son was at fault, but the rest of the claims were fraudulent....it's way too easy to capture everything that is shared online...why do it?

p.s. I guess a rear cam would be helpful. I still have not done anything about a solution front and rear, and knock on wood have not needed one ever....

Yes, definitely a good thing not to need it. We see so many crazy drivers in California, I am glad I added front and rear dash cams a year ago. It immediately came in handy when others hit my car on two separate occasions. It was $300 total for two VIOFO A119S models plus a pair of 64 GB memory cards. Sometimes there are just too many close calls and you don't want to get into a situation where it is your word against someone else's. On a side note, I've also recorded drivers behaving badly (redlight runners, people driving in the wrong direction, cellphone use, etc.). One time, I was following my wife home and we were approaching a green (so we are supposed to assume we can safely continue straight) and then a psycho driver waiting in the left turn lane decides they want to cut across three lanes of traffic and make a right instead! I have it all on video where the other driver crosses into the path of everyone else that has a green. You definitely don't expect that. Several of us had to slam on the brakes to avoid t-boning that driver. There was a front passenger in that car too and you could see the terror in their eyes as they came 90 degrees faced with oncoming cars. It would have been terrible to capture the death of my wife and daughter on dash cam right in front of me. Thank goodness an accident didn't occur but geez, driver's license standards really need to be stricter.

I had the same first thought as Dave about the crossing the solid white line.

Also, did you ever stop and discuss with the other driver? Your original post read as if you had...
