Would you consider pointing your camera a little more to the right? The angle seems biased towards the side of the road rather than the centre.

Was that woman asleep or something?

She gets out then with her high pitched voice as if it will somehow get her off almost running him over.

That bike flew fairly high, lucky indeed.

No ABS kicked in on that Beemer, lots of tyre smoke anyways.

I wonder what the sign says, looks like a type of Learner sign.

I read somewhere that due to horrendously high import duty on cars in Ukraine, many Ukrainian people work around it, by buying car in Poland, and having Polish resident person as registered co-owner - due to which they can keep driving it in Ukraine with Polish plates. I'm not sure though if that's true.
I don't believe though that such car can be used as a taxi, therefore why he took his taxi plate off the roof in seconds.

From what I remember you need to buy local insurance when you enter Ukraine, wonder how it will work out for him

AFAIK all insurance policies issued in Poland after obtaining green card are valid in Ukraine.
This also applies to policies issued in Ireland as far as I know.

I think he's a Ukrainian living in Poland. The sticker on the rear of the car is in Russian.

It is indeed, either Russian or similar.

Number plates are definately Polish though.

Might be wrong though.
Still, drove like a tosser and will now pay for it.
He quickly threw that taxi sign away didn't he...

Oh yeah!

Short answer, they are NOT forensic instruments, but can be used to back up your evidence and complaint in court.

This. In addition if you produce the evidence to both insurance companies in say the case of an accident, they would be out of their minds to go to court if it was relatively cut and dry. Remember, they want to save money.

It depends really. Rural located boardsies may not have fibre or other decent internet connection, so it's better for them not to have HD on by default.

So not wanting to trawl through 4569 posts to see if this has been asked before, but does dash-cam footage hold up in court in Ireland? Are there restrictions on the type of footage acceptable? Like, say you're using a go-pro, they distort shape and distance to get the wide angle.

Ah it would have been worse, I had a guy towing a camper completely cut me off on a roundabout in Wales, would have been a nasty one, footage got recorded over by the time I got to London, yup, silly me for not saving it

I'm sorry that I'm going off thread but it's very clear that the truck carrying the BUK has Russian number plates.
That's all I'll say on the matter.

Your video is displaying at 480p. You must insert yt:quality=high: in tags to get 1080p quality when you are uploading.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Great tip. I added that tag into the the tag box on the editing settings.

I still had trouble editing and spliting clips from my cam though. The program joujoujou recommended was VirtualDub. But unfortunately it did not recognize .MOV files.

After a bit of searching I found a program called mpeg streamclip which seems to works fine and easy to use.

I also found out that I can't get youtube to play in HD automaticly as an uploader.
It has to be done as a user by going into the setting or gear tab on your profile, clicking Playback Options, and then check Display in HD where available.

But with the boards.ie forum youtube link it will not play auto in HD. It has to be selected manually each time. Pants..

I think I am having issues with the card speed as I use a class4 32gb MicroSD . I wonder if a faster card will cause clips to look smoother?
Its the same clip with the tag added and uncompressed.
