    This is why you don't do FPV on the street, you would think any reasonable person would know not to do this, and yes, that's a WOOKONG on there:

    Ouch!  When I first read your post I thought it would get hit from behind while flying too low because you can't see behind you flying FPV.  I think seeing the car coming was worse than that.

    Notice how he had to pull over to the side and let the car from behind go by? Talk about traffic issues when flying....

    Yes.  I think I might have looked for a "quieter" place to maiden my approximately $1500.00 FPV quad.  But that's just me.
