Ever been recorded for hypermiling?

On my way to work this morning, another commuter decided to video record me driving for about two miles. At first, I thought he was going to snap a picture of my car (this happens quite frequently), but he sat there with his phone camera obviously aimed at me for about two miles. It was a bit uncomfortable, to say the least. I kept thinking to myself: "don't pick your nose". Now I would like to know what he was thinking the whole time. Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?

no, but start searching youtube for your video.

Lets start a list of what possible titles might be:

"glad I didn't get stuck behind this guy"

I wonder what would have happened if you did the same thing - video him video you and use it for harassment charges .

cycleguy- I get photoed and videoed a LOT. Having an unfinished tail on the back of a car will do that. I usually try to make an OVERLY silly face and wave like a mad-man. Everyone winds up laughing and we all go on about our merry ways. If they do stay for an uncomfortable amount of time, try picking your nose while looking directly into the camera.

You can be sure he was wondering the same thing.

PS - I like the 63 mpg "racing" number on the car. Nice way to turn that symbol on its head.
