    Its on Facebox also. Turns out Jason was heading back to collect some furniture he bought.
    He had reset his cheap dash cam and that was why no sound and incorrect date.

    I look it as left should be curb crawlers, middle for driving at speed limit and right for over taking.

    Seriously?

    It's been said a number of times but this is a final warning warning. Any more off topic is going to result in a 24hr forum ban. You wont get a warning just a straight off ban. Simple as that.

    Yep. I know I shouldn't under take but I with the way the M50 is for last ditch manoeuvres I'd rather go in a straight line than change lanes 4 times for the same thing. Plus I can't be arsed any more.

    To be honest I'm very close to just sitting in the middle myself be damned. Join the madness and forget the stress.

    I look it as left should be curb crawlers, middle for driving at speed limit and right for over taking.
    You look at it wrong. The left lane is for YOU, unless you have a good reason to move into the centre or right lane.

    So finally got the dash cam hard wired and up and working about a month ago.
    Nothing of interest to post as yet.
    Then the one day I decide to drive a family members car without a dash cam, I nearly get wiped out by someone suddenly merging in front of me at half the speed limit on a dual carriageway.

    Jesus, hope you're OK.

    The same thing happened to me, I got my windscreen replaced and was without mine for a month. So many things happened that month!

    I'm grand, thanks.
    I just didn't realise how much of a sense of security having one gives you until I didn't have one.

    It is Russia. Probably safer to drive in that state than sober.
    I really like those Russian clips. Certainly the ones where it take about 5 seconds before the actual incident happens.
    You know in those 5 seconds something is going to happen but being Russia, it can be anything from anywhere.

    Yes, some of those crashes are so crazy, that they have to be Vodka fuelled!

    My first dashcam...

    Not much to see, just the typical N7 behaviour.

    Did he hit you on the side?
    I'd say there would be a good bit of damage if he did.

    Yeah, she did. T boned me.
    Back door is mashed in. Bit of damage to the bit between the door and wheel arch.
    Front door will not open due to back door damage.
    To be fair, she was completely sound about it. Accepted all responsibility.
    I hope she holds that story with her insurance company. But the footage is (I think) fairly unambiguous.

    That is the exact reason why a 50e dashcam is worth its weight in gold. If she changes her story (which we have seen happen so often here) you have her on camera. If you didn't its your word against hers.

    Big Time,

    Dont even mention the dash cam if she's accepting full responsibility, just let it play out, but suddenly if you start getting phone calls from insurance companies saying this that or the other, having it all on (HD) video, is the most Ace of Aces to have up your sleeve.

    Thankfully I just got a call from her insurance company accepting all liability. It's a big relief. They will contact me later about getting the damage assessed and a courtesy car.

    Nice one, good to see common sense breaking out at an Insurance Company.
