McMahon's 100+ mph Bentley crash in Connecticut captured on police video

Police released dashcam and bodycam video showing former WWE chief Vince McMahon driving a 2024 Bentley Continental GT at more than 100 mph on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, Connecticut, before rear‑ending a BMW and skidding into a guardrail. He was cited for reckless driving and following too closely and later entered a pretrial probation program that will erase the charges next October if completed, along with a $1,000 charitable donation. McMahon told investigators he was on his granddaughter’s birthday errand, and no one was seriously injured in the July 24, 2025 crash.

"Charger Driver Learns Hard Lesson About Illegal Passing on Shoulder"

A dashcam video shared by TopDog Law on Twitter captured a Dodge Charger driver's poor decision to pass on the shoulder, leading to a crash. The Charger, speeding and attempting to overtake on the shoulder, hit a barrier and then collided with the car of a woman who had wisely aborted a lane change due to traffic. The incident, which left the woman and her passenger unharmed, serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of reckless driving and the importance of adhering to traffic laws and safe driving practices.

Valet Caught Joyriding in New Chevy Corvette

A valet at Birmingham airport in Alabama was caught joyriding in a customer's brand-new Chevy Corvette Stingray, which was equipped with a factory-installed dashcam. The valet revved the car well past its recommended break-in RPMs, causing the owner to be understandably upset. The valet company initially claimed responsibility but later retracted, stating no damage was done. The airport officials are investigating the matter, and the valet responsible has been fired. This incident serves as a warning to car enthusiasts about the potential misconduct of valet attendants.

Meteor creates stunning light show across Queensland skies.

Meteor creates stunning light show across Queensland skies.

A bright light flashed across the sky in Townsville, Australia, on Saturday night, with multiple reports of blue, green, white, and orange flashes followed by a booming noise. Dashcam footage captured the incident, which was most likely caused by a meteor breaking apart as it neared Earth. Australian National University Astrophysicist Dr Brad Tucker confirmed it was a meteor, and the blue-green colour flashes seen were caused by the iron and nickel on the meteor heating up. Some reports suggest the meteor may have crashed in the Croydon area, 600km inland from Townsville.

Google's Pixel Phones to Get Dashcam and Personal Safety Integration.

Google's Personal Safety app will soon include a new feature called "Dashcam" on select Android devices, allowing users to record video and audio while driving in the event of an accident or unexpected situation. The feature can be launched through a new "Dashcam" shortcut in the app, and recordings can begin automatically when connected to a particular Bluetooth device. Videos are automatically deleted after three days unless saved, and the app says that the videos themselves are compressed, averaging "30 MB per minute," with a maximum recording length of 24 hours. It's unclear if this feature will be available on other phones with Google's Personal Safety or exclusive to Pixel phones.

Google Pixel phones to have built-in dashcam feature.

Google is reportedly working on a native dashcam recording feature for some Android phones that could run in the background for up to 24 hours. The feature is part of an internal test that was accidentally uploaded to Google Play. The app apparently uses compressed video to save space and lets you turn your screen off or pop over to another app while recording continues in the background. Recordings will be automatically deleted after three days, and recording will automatically stop at 24 hours.
