Was driving along 2 nights ago and these oblivious deer were walking along. You can see in the video I flash my lights at them a dozen times and they could give a ****. Was pretty awesome to see them so up close though.
There was another driver behind me, but thankfully he wasn't tailgating and thankfully I was able to slow down gradually as I saw the deer pretty far in advance.
BlackVue 650. Video looks a bit blurry because it's zoomed in and cropped, also very dark outside. Don't know why the thumbnail looks blocky and rainbow. The actual video is normal.

Using your brakes would have made it less close. Noticed you maintained ~50 mph. He's clearly in the wrong in the situation, but still...

My brother tried doing a pass like that once in our family '97 Honda Odyssey, not long after he got his license. He floored the pedal and it barely did anything. He ended up forcing a few oncoming cars to the shoulder. I still remember eating Pringles and saying something like "mmph nnng!" (or maybe I was just thinking that). He became much more careful about passing after that.
Moral of the story: Slow down if you see that happen in front of you, especially if there's no shoulder and it's an Odyssey.

This was the first incident I've captured on my new Blackvue 650 purchased in the forum group buy. Keep a close eye on the far left of the screen as the red pickup disappears then reappears wearing a black SUV.

What is creating the alarm sound, and how (i.e. what exactly caused the alarm to sound) ?
Thanks, Greg.
BTW, My dashcam is a Papago P3, 1080p, 32Gb class 10 Sandisk card.

It's a Beltronics STiR+ laser detector sounding an alarm "rear laser blocking" meaning it's detected a rear laser signal and is actively jamming it.
But in really it's RF interference from the horn that triggers a rear laser false alarm.
Kinda annoying, bit only when I honk the horn, which isn't very often. :/

I watched the vid several times again, and did not hear any horn. Maybe it was drowned out by the alarm ?

Autopilot and TACC use radar (radio waves), sonar (sound waves) and a camera. They don't use lasers (yet), so a laser jammer (coherent light) won't have any effect on them.

What about other cars. Other manufacturers started using lasers over 20 years ago. I don't know if they still use such systems, but I'm sure many of those cars are still on the road.
