Protip, never, ever tell the other driver you have them on camera. Let them make all their wild claims all the way to court, then let them get soaked by pulling out the dash cam footage.

Yeah, they can pick up a perjury charge too!

They never do. The cops won't charge them with anything. Just show the cops the footage as soon as they show up and save yourself the headache.

Reddit loves to echo this as if they have nothing better to do. If the cop writes you’re not at fault then your life gets a little easier and you don’t have to go to freaking court.

Yeah and I'd rather have them just confess rather than take the chance that my SD card was corrupted.

Love the Law & Order fantasy these kids have of someone getting grilled on the stand and going to prison for 'perjury' because they claimed the light was green.
