    I remember some Fuji cameras that could buffer a few seconds continuously, and save the previous buffer to memory card when you press the shutter button.

    Would be cool to see this in dashcams.

    What an absolute idiot, imagine the horror crash that could have caused, especially with the truck beside them.

    The defendant has admitted that he made a massive error of judgement.
    "Error of judgement"? An error of judgement is not checking your blindspot when changing lanes or misjudging a length of a gap in traffic. It is not undertaking a HGV in a hard shoulder, swerving across two lanes of traffic and performing a brake test on the car behind. Should be banned for much longer than that.

    The scary thing is, I've seem similar incidents of using the hard shoulder as an extra lane on the M50 during rush hour.

    The dash cam driver did incredibly well to brake in time considering he came from the left.

    It was a savage piece of driving by the dash cam driver. I don't think I'm going to far in saying that the dash cam drivers lightening reactions saved lives that day.

    I'll leave this here...from the N81 this morning. I was about to pop back to the left lane when the corner of my eye caught this genius in my mirror who had undertaken in the hard shoulder and sped up.

    For future reference, when posting a video, you use the following syntax:

    If this is your youtube link:

    Take what's after the v= and post it like below:

    Should be prosecuted for that, judging by the car it was a young / inexperienced / testosterone driven driver who needs a proper beating before he gets behind the wheel again.

    If you have a reg - report it. As much as I hate reporting things, this is unacceptable.

    My wife doesn't have a dash cam in her car but will be getting one now, driver overtook her (in the overtaking lane) coming to the M50 turn off for Sandyford (northbound) then left hooked between two lorries (in the left lane, not turning off) in front of her and then skidded in front of her to straighten up to get up the ramp.

    Slightly related, what's the point of the camera on the right considering it appears to be looking at the back of the rear view mirror.

    Proof of not being on the phone? Not a great place to put a rear mounted camera anyway.

    Hidden camera for thieves maybe?



    Sure they never check the rear view mirror anyway :pac:

    I say the driver of the car doesn't need the benefits of an inward facing camera and as such didn't bothering fitting it so that it would have a proper view.

    If it's the former one, then this dashcam would need to have an option to start recording 9 seconds before shock is detected. Brilliant - I want one like that.

    That's the way the roadhawk works; it gets a shock or you press the button and it saves the previous 10 seconds.

    Most of them only have a small battery to allow you snap a few pictures and review video while not plugged in.

    You could perhaps use a USB power bank like those aldi were selling. I'm not sure if they would power it though some devices are odd.

    This bus driver decided to turn right when the left green filter came on.
    Sorry about the flare on the camera.
