When people hog the middle lane this is what happens.

*Just to note: on the first occasion we were originally behind this car and moved out to overtake, but he seemed to have some sort of problem with this so he accelerated. You can't see it, but he was alongside accelerating for the first part of the video - we weren't just sitting in the middle lane the whole time.

i'm thinking of upgrading mine to something a little more discreet and maybe adding one in the back window as well.

i'm wondering if it's worth bothering with the GPS ones at all, i'm not really interested in journey logging, just a record of someone causing me to be in an accident and i reckon GPS data could actually work out as more of a hindrance if i have to hand in all my data in the event of an accident and happen to have caught myself speeding at an earlier time or something like that and end up incriminating myself.

i was contemplating just buying two of these and having one pointing out of the back window and one in the front: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2012-NEWEST-HD-720P-Smallest-CAR-DVR-with-120-degree-wide-angle-support-G-Sensor-D/636525022.html

That bus has up to 9 cams on it so it would have picked up the guy on the bike no problem but it is great to have all angles covered

Been told they are never on or never maintained, so either way your lucky if they catch anything.

I told the bus driver and got a phone call later from a garda asking me to hand it in to them. Had to fill out a statement saying it wasn't edited in any way etc. I'm not sure if anything happened as the last I heard the cyclist was fine and just had a few bruises.

Looks like the taxi driver was just predicting the light change

There's predicting the light change and then there's what he did, i end up stopping at the line as he's gone past it already, he's in the middle of the junction when the light changes.

Try using that excuse if a Guard saw you

really want it hard wired so that all the cables are hidden away and the cig lighter is free.
not fussed at having parking mode turned on.

I bought one of those 3 way lighter plug adaptors and wired to to the rear of the factory lighter and mounted it in the glove box so I can plug in the camera, satnav(both permenantly fitted in the car) and a phone charger all out of sight and the dash still looks tidy.

This way means the only wires you have to cut are on the cheap 3 way adaptor.

By the way, the clip I posted above is from a new 1080 HD cam I bought from China. Specs below, i'll post up a new sample clip when it actually stops raining with no resulting mud spots\streaks on my windscreen!

I haven't had a clear rainless daylight day yet for driving since I got the cam. Even when it didn't rain, splashes from other traffic have muddied up the view!

It takes a microsd card, I have a class 10 16gb Sandisk ultra in mine. The software they supply doesn't work in Win7 so GPS portion(location) may in fact be useless though it does track your speed onscreen in the MOV file but I don't really use the GPS so not a big deal. The cam reads regs of cars fine, not just those in front of you, also in the lanes beside you. The suction cup supplied has to be 'enhanced' to make it stick, I apply hand sanitiser to the base which makes it a solid stick to the windscreen. It hangs from the windscreen about the same height as your car mirror, its small, light and compact but uses a screw to hold it in, its not a clip on clip off solution which is a downer. Just takes a few seconds longer to screw on\unscrew off.

so, just wondering if anybody would recommend somebody to fit a dash cam into and mondeo, in the Dublin, Kildare region.
would like it connected through the dash board to the battery and all wires tucked away.

Also what would be peoples recommendation on a dashcam.

EDIT: just having a quick look over the thread again, I take it the iTronics ITB100hd is the way to go.

He wasn't going fast, the section of road under the bridge is only a very slight bend and the roads weren't icy.....and he must have indicated by accident too if he didn't do it on purpose :eek:

In miserable rainy weather this morning, this guy(looked about 60) in the black car would not let me merge onto the M1 this morning. I had checked my mirrors, the coast was clear, indicated and the guy ramped the speed up in his powerful car to try to get past me despite myself ahead of him more than a car length at the time of ready to merge.
Worse still he moved out of the M50 bound lane after into a M1 only lane as the lane i was merging into was destined only for the M50, so not worth his while what he was doing hogging a lane he had no business driving in at the time of merge!

Have often seen the point being made in the motor forums "Well, I'm not forced by law to move over, so I don't".
Usually boot it past assholes like that.

This roundabout in Dundalk is a nightmare for people pulling out in front of you. You're more at risk taking the correct line like I did here, than if you just bull across all lanes.

Actually the road layout looks kind of odd there, it looks like the stobart driver was misled by the road to me. But still a big goof to make.
