I was definitely impressed, I called in one incident which I felt was particularly egregious and the police were quite willing to follow up on it.

Sadly, the plate is only in the video for a few frames and is blurred, so I couldn't actually read the whole plate number. And apparently our police lack the ability to search based on vehicle description and a partial plate.
Also, they will only give a "warning", as a plate doesn't indicate who was driving the vehicle.
Oncoming vehicles within 3' is scary. I had a similar experience this summer caught on video with my rear facing camera. Couldn't make out the plate so I didn't call it in.
