By the second video, it looks like he may have hit hard enough to put a plate number impression in your bumper.

which camera setup are you running?

All banged up already, hits you, then promptly turns right from the left lane. Looks like it was premeditated too. I hope you get that ****ing ****. Someone should be able to clean that screenshot up, I just don't have the tools. NYC drivers are the worst man, no respect - sorry. How bad is the damage?

That sux. I can't see anything on my phone, but maybe you can have some enhance the video and/or enlarge it. You didn't see the plate number as the truck was sitting in traffic?

OK, I hate to say it but I gotta run, but here is my best stab at this so far. I would swear last 4 letter/numbers are 7951. Does that jibe with your plate system? Dash reflections are killing you here.

yeah bummer. Even the review from their own site confirms the lack of detail:

at the 7:25 mark he mentions reading plates with the rear camera.

bummer to hear about this but good information for my future install. Must remove all reflections on the windows.

not thinking so. Watch as his head whips up right after impact. I bet he was looking at his phone for pokemon.

I went to a soccer game last night with about 20,000 people. The number of them walking around looking for imaginary creatures was mind boggling.
But it does look like there was some texting or something going on here.

To OP. Absolutely sucks. I came back to find my bumper hit while parked. Horrible feeling. What you should have done though is immediately stop so he couldnt run. Wouldnt have gone past the intersection.

I don't think it was premeditated. If you look at the rearview camera, it looks like a young kid, head is DEFINITELY down staring at something, most likely a phone. Looks up quickly when he hits, then he looks like he panics and makes a break for it.

That sucks big time. Some people have no respect or morals it's sad.
I can't seem to figure out the plate, but I have an idea for you, you need to run some guesses of plates.

I believe both Autocheck and Carfax offer a subscription for a month or 21 days that offers unlimited reports (by license plate for Carfax, and I think both in Autocheck). You can either do it subscribe or maybe find someone who has the subscription (sorry mine expired a while back), and then run all the combinations of license plates you get.
Hopefully the plate is legit and actually registered to this car, you have a high probability of finding that Ford Escape's details (including VIN).


Hope this helps and good luck.

As mentioned, 7951 or 7971.
Seems like 404 or 444 or 465 in the front but I dono. Are there not suppose to be letters there? I thought that below says California but I'm mistaken. What area did this occur in the US? Some help with that could clear it

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. It's shocking that he just fled the scene. I hope you get the *******.
