Black Camaro doing about 90+, sideswiped me. Got him on camera, but between reflective lighting and how fast he was going, don’t think I’ll get a readable plate. He’s on screen for no more than 3-4 seconds. Fucking asshole.

Not major damage, but a pretty solid sideswipe. For no fucking reason.

Assholes. A red Charger damn near hit me on Parmer tonight as he was weaving through rush hour traffic like he was playing a god damn videogame.

Someone did a minor hit and run on me five years ago and I'm still pissed about that one.

Rubbing is racing?

I mean, we were just mellowing out to some Rachel Price, an exit away from home. I actually saw him in my rear view, thought “he’s going to fast and is gonna cut it too close,” and he hit me about .2 seconds later. Hope his car is his baby and he fucked it up and his girl thinks he’s a dick and he’s not getting laid because of it.

@Brisketexan Sorry to hear that man. That sucks. 

Happy to help if I can, but these images are the dreaded combo of small and low resolution. They're also badly blown out by everyone's lights, but that part  can be addressed dropping exposure under the Adjust Levels setting.

I'd bet your camera captured them in higher resolution though, that seems quite low.  Most of them are some form of HD now. Might be just how they posted on the web. 

I'm on a shit monitor, so this is the best I could do with this resolution. This is from the second image. You can see where the letters/numbers are, but the pixels are larger than the font of the plate.

Pixels are smaller on the image where he is closest to you, but the black bar across it blocks anything relevant and the resolution is still pretty bad.

If you can get better resolution, adjusting levels can make a huge difference.

Find the highest resolution you can and send me a DM if you'd rather not post it here. I'll give it a shot on my better monitor later and see what I can get.

Best luck would be probably the first image, or one near it, if you can fade the UI and get the black line gone. The closer the car is to the camera, the smaller the pixels of that license plate will be, and we need smaller than the font to read it.

I know we've got photo folks here too, so one of them may be able to do a better job, and if you know someone with a Mac Studio screen, those are great for looking at stuff like this. Very accurate rendering. They've got a better setup than me and I can walk you through how to do it on that screen.

Almost happed to us on 635 in the metroplex.   Some asshole trying to speed past.   We’re in the far right lane next to the concrete wall.   Guy clips the back of a car at our 11 o’clock, sends it careening head first into the wall.   Cars totaled.   We lock up.  Parts of the car hit ours.   Cops got the fucker a few exits down.

Appreciate it, will see if I can send the video. Didn’t post it here because you don’t need to hear us yammering about the asshole, or whether I should chase him. It is amazing how fast he is in and out of screen. He was flying.

This. I was involved in a hit and run, got the plates and had a Shagster run them. Sent the cops his address and they never did shit.
