Two 
heads not watching the cars in front of them. This is from my 7 year old dash cam that I use on occasion because I don’t want to move my new one between vehicles. You will notice my speed dropped quite quickly. 
51-34 MPH in 2 seconds.
My experience with motorcyclists (from the passenger car perspective) is that they don’t mind coming within a few inches (less than a foot) of another vehicle making you effectively a ‘pylon’ in their mind.
Motorcyclists seem to think of other vehicles as ‘moving pylons.’
I wish I could post the entire video but it is 3 min. long and 25.2 MB. The native recording from that cam is a .MOV file, To just get a short clip I recorded that short section using VLC and it ended up as an .avi file. Then I converted it to a .mp4 file to upload using WinFF. There has to be an easier way to crop video files (For Free) 
My new dash cam records videos in .mp4 but the files are very large, even the one minute files. 
Are you all Apple? I’m all PC. Looks like @R.Good is Bi. Been meaning to ask him about his approach to this for a while. I suspect he’s sitting on the dope dope. 
I have an iPhone, iPad and a Dell laptop, do most of the stuff on the Dell.
Ah, ok then, I hesitate to reveal this because…
-
It’s considered a PUP (potentially unwanted program) by some security software

Sophisticated tech people will look down their noses at me
Yeah, so #1, Freemake Video Converter, it’s been resident on my drive for 3+ years, constrained from phoning home by the firewall. Have to say, it does simple practical editing and all the conversion tricks quite nicely, but…
… #2, I’m afraid master re-encoder @seapup 'll come in and say, You are such an idiot, don’t you know how degrading that thing is?? Or similar.
And I shrink at peer pressure and the like.
peep?

I use a homegrown utility when I have access to my office system. Otherwise, I use:
Local converter: Handbrake
Web-based converter: Online Video Converter

WinFF works good for converting. I have to use either Windows Video Editor in my Windows 10 or VLC to crop just the section of the video I want. VLC is quite easy, Video Editor a little more difficult because I have only used it twice.

Well stop whining and use it more. 
And @R.Good is ‘stuck-up’ (as my JHS girlfriend used to say.) He was the guy you knew would have a 240Z and a cheerleader girlfriend in a few years and leave you sucking his exhaust…
Don’t even get me started on the rest of the handMavens… 
I just made a short clip on Video Editor the same as the one I posted. The clip I posted is 1.50 MB, the same video I made using VE is 20.8 MB, 
but it did save as a .mp4 file.
Hmm, I don’t know how common among converters this is, but the Freemake thing lets you designate a size to reduce to/under by any means necessary. Which cannot work miracles but does do wonders sometimes if you don’t mind degradation or a different aspect ratio…
Oh, and the other thing is I’ve got the mp4 conversion option set to what will display correctly here on both chrome & firefox… I am clearly a genius.

Thanks! And I’m sorry my girlfriend said you were stuck-up. You’re clearly one of the good ones!
