If you don't have one already, get a dash cam. They're very useful in the event you do hit someone that fails to yield the right of way, or hits you due to their own neglect, especially the way folks love to ignore the traffic laws in this city...

yeah, I have one, too many friends got screwed by not having evidence. Still, I'd rather not have to use it, especially in a case like this

Let’s see the dashcam footage

For things like this, I like to go with the old saying "It's best to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it". While I have caught some folks doing stupid things like running red lights on the front cam, thankfully I have not needed it for evidence in an accident from those idiots running red lights, and hope I never do...

Can you recommend one?

I have the Rexing V1P, and have been very happy with it. I specifically sought one out that had a front and rear camera so I could at least catch anyone who might rearend me, but so far only catch people "digging for gold" while at stop lights. I also got the power supply that plugs into the fuse box and hid the wires, but that was a pita, and if you're not good with that kind of stuff, you may want to have one installed at Best Buy or some other local car audio shop. What led me to finally get one was when someone decided to make a U turn from the side of an exit ramp into the car I only had for a month, you're not allowed to do that and at least they made it easy for the cop when they admitted that they did that...
