Honda S2000 Dash Cam Captures Moment of Impact with a Minivan

Pretty much every Russian driver has a dash cam because of insurance fraud problems. There are also crazy people who intentionally jump in front of cars in order to sue. But in America, they’re less common and are mainly used to capture spirited driving.

Yet this Honda S2000 drive did a little bit of both. His GoPro camera was mounted behind the seats, so it was most likely there to show gear shifts and a bit of sideways action, but it still managed to see the exact moment when the S2K hit a minivan.

The driver of the Honda sportscar says the woman in the minivan actually told the police that he was the one who ran the red light. But the dash cam footage shows it’s the other way around. Shame on you, lady!

The young driver says he has sustained a wrist injury on his left hand and burns to his right one, as he was pressing the horn when the airbags went off. It’s pretty dramatic footage, but also pleasing to see how much composure he has after a serious impact. The 2000 model year S2000 may have to be written off because damage to the front end has been quoted at $8000, which is more than the whole thing is worth.

If what the Honda guy is say turns out to be true, the woman in the minivan has a lot of explaining to do. In fact, she doesn’t even deserve to keep her license, since she deliberately endangers people’s lives and commits a fraud by blaming them. If you stop the video at the precise moment before the crash, you can see the minivan already has crash damage on the front end, so this isn’t her first tango.

For about 60 bucks, you can buy a dash cam of your own and protect yourself from scams and horrible drivers like this.
