looks to me that the driver of the IS F made a rookie driving mistake. That is to always look to your left cause they will hit you first. But in his defense the 2IS was hidden behind the SUV.

I think the F was at fault. Sounds like a pretty accident.

Damn! It sounded bad, but hopefully the damage isn't too severe on either ride. But why is there a recording while driving? I've seen recordings for valet and stuff, but never for regular driving.

That's funny because I know two girls with black/black IS-Fs that keep them in better shape than what I've read here and seen at the local tire shop

Is that similar to a GoPro or only available with the low res?

If you watch the accident it looks to me like the person driving the F had plenty of time to react. It almost looks like the F intended to have an accident. Why? Because i bet the person driving the 350 had his signal on...

theres no defense here, a good driver knows to always wait till your line of sight is completely clear before going anywhere. She should have waited for the SUV to enter the parking lot and out of her way to drive up.

I can understand your argument, however even if he had his blinker on he HAD to slow down to let the suv in, which would have given the F plenty of time to exit the parking lot had she not been eating.......



still sad to see both cars in that state, I too thought it was ironic
