    Nothing explicit to see here, just a lot of pricks skipping the queue by using the 24-hour buslane.

    nowt wrong with your driving but surely the car in front was also in the wrong by driving over the chevrons to go around the car pulling in rathr than slowing down.he would have had to if someone was turning right!

    That isn't the road from Grange castle towards the N7 is it?
    Here: https://www.google.com/maps/dir//53.3039458,-6.4210706/@53.3060871,-6.4220899,16z/data=!4m3!4m2!1m0!1m0

    See the same old ****e happening there every morning. A Garda would have his monthly allotment sorted if he hung out there a few days a week.

    Yeah, that's the road alright. Amazing that marked vehicles (eg. the Connolly Stairs van) do that kind of thing. If it was me, I'd be uber careful

    Very little chance of prosecution. Driving up that bus lane saves them about 5-10 minutes of traffic for 30 seconds work.
    If a cop was there enough days of the week it would stamp it out fairly quick I think

    jeeze that was lucky, you slowed right down coming to that junction, normally drivers would pull past the stop line then slow down! good save!

    Dash cam crash with a difference :rolleyes:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqxqKhKER70


    Just as I hit the brakes to avoid hitting the car that pulled out in front of me the camera "rebooted" , during the "interval" I just stopped with millimetres to spare then turned sharply onto the second "lane" of the roundabout and carried on.

    Yep! I must have set the camera wrong somewhere it appears to have saved in 10 minute chunks with a 30 second gap between files.

    It's all there, well all that the camera saved!

    The shock of hitting the brakes caused it to appear to stop recording.
    The fact that I didn't hit the car that pulled out right in front of me is a sign that I was alert enough to stop! The other car stopped with all four wheels over the line.

    I was joking! The fact you can drive away is proof enough of your reactions, judging by the split second view before it cuts out.

    Does your camera have a G sensor? (it is supposed to lock the current recording when a sudden deceleration or impact is detected)
    It may be a fault with that feature.

    Try another hard stop and see if you can reproduce the problem, then maybe try disable the G sensor if that is whats at fault.

    I have it set to "autosave", but as the instructions have Russian as the first language and Chinese as the second I may have misunderstood what it actually is supposed to do. :confused:

    The camera's save the video in segments, the speed at which it can save one segment and start another depends on the quality if the camera, and the class of the memory card. Maybe that's what happened to you there, was the cut out towards the end of a typical segment time? If so, and you have decent camera and good card, check your settings and see if you can reduce the segment time, it will be quicker saving the segments and might stop that happening again.
    I don't think its the G sensor, they should prevent the segment from being deleted, but wouldn't be able cut the segment off IMO.
    I used to have that problem with my DOD dashcam, it always worried me that it would happen just at the wrong time like yours!

    I have the camera set to save 10 minutes at a time, sounds like that's the problem. I'll look at the settings as the "incident" happened at the end of a 10 minute segment.

    As for the quality of the camera, some unknown name from China (for the Russian market) and the memory card, it appears to be an OK type.

    I would prefer it if the camera just saved in an "infinite loop" and I could just press a button to capture the last minute or so if an incident occurs or have the shock sensor detect it.

    Prick is the nicest word I can use for him. I hope he crashes into tree or lampost, unless of course he was a genuine mercy/medical related journey in that vid!

    That'll be it alright, 10 mins is huge. I have mine set to 3mins, it's barely a flicker between segments.

    Is there a concensus on which Dash Cam is the Best?

    Also, do they record in file segments, or do the better/worse ones record continually while running?

    Thanks, Lads!

    File system limitations won't allow continuous recording.

    Was told a little story today.

    A man in a van reversed into a man's car on the quays in Dublin and claimed the car hit him.
    The ''car'' asked the ''van'' are you sure and he (van) said ''Yes, give me €300 and we can forget about it''

    The car said let's call the gardaí and the van said just pay the €300 and it'll be fine.

    Anyway, the guards arrived, spoke to the van, the guard went to the man in the car and said the the man in the van claims he tipped the back of his car.

    He asked the guard if he was sure the man said that, the guard said yes.
    He asked the guard to get into the car and watch the video.

    He didn't mention the camera is his car until the end, making a fool of the van man!
    (I think it turned out the van man had to repair the man's car)

    I did some testing and found that I was losing on average about 4 seconds between segments, which is a lot as shown in the video I posted earlier. I set the segment size down to 3 minutes and there is still a 4 second gap.

    I am going to reduce the screen resolution to see if that is the cause, if not it may be the process of deleting old files before overwriting that causes the delay.

    I will format the sd drive and see if that removes the delay.

    Mind if you tell us what model cam you are using, and what kind of SD card?
