I purchased one of those TaoTronics TT-CD04 cameras when it was on sale. I mounted it in my car this weekend, and on the way in to work on Monday... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YZT5tS5t-E The puddle he hit wasn't that deep, but we have two year inspections here so I'm guessing his tires were bald as gently caress. You'll notice he somehow slides between the middle lane and right lane cars, it's kind of majestic. Also, after seeing that crash in real life and in the video, it's amazing how much the wide angle distorts distances.

Got the 806 installed and immediately after picking up a couple of SD cards a guy in a pickup threw a flashlight at me for turning near him. Hadn't turned the mic on yet, so there isn't audio of him trying to go fast and block me before the merge ahead. I rolled down my window to see what he was yelling about and he threw a flashlight that landed in my other seat. It's a pretty decent head mounted one, so I guess he was rewarding me trying to help him with traffic laws.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slWpjM8Ulko Oh and one of the microsd slots doesn't have a functioning spring, so that card is gonna be in there for a while. It reads fine, just doesn't come out without a very small screwdriver. Huh, the GPS quit at the stoplight. That's odd. It came back on later, I was using it to check if my speedo was off on the highway.

Two lane road, one left-turn lane for oncoming traffic. That might be one of those intersections where everybody just crosses from left-right immediately so it's a bad idea to make the right turn, but it's not illegal.

Lots of people do it wrong and assume that you can merge in that situation, but you have to yield to traffic that has a green light.

Ehhhh, we've both got a lane to turn into. I'd be amazed if I got a ticket before the truck got one for pulling into the outside lane. Although I wouldn't have made that turn in one of my nicer cars.

in Australia at least, closest to the lane has right of way. So in your video, you have right of way and the others must wait. Much like your scenario however, nobody ever does.

It's perfectly legal here to make a right on red while the oncoming traffic has a green, as the only 'legal' way to make a left turn is into the left lane. I never actually do it though, because I don't trust the idiot making the left turn not to just plow into the side of my car in the right lane.

Traffic turning left may turn into any lane, unless pavement markings indicate otherwise : Texas Transportation Code Sec. 545.101 posted:To make a left turn at an intersection, an operator shall: You were totally required to yield to that truck if he wanted the outside lane and you didn't.

Laws must really vary on that. In Ontario you're required to turn into the inside lane.

Laws absolutely vary on that. Even between states.Utah Title 41 Chapter 6a Section 801 posted:(2) Left turns: Edit: That said, there are intersections where you know everybody's going to turn into the right lane and you're gonna get t-boned if you try to make the right turn and get in their way.

Not that he was right to throw anything at you but that wasn't a stop in any sense of the word. I'm about to lose my goddamned mind at all the people I see on a daily basis rolling through stop signs and red lights.

Lots of those kinds of intersections have two lanes able to turn left, so doing a rolling-stop like that is especially unwise.

I'm too lazy to look up the laws in Dallas, but my understanding has always been to YIELD when turning right on red. The oncoming traffic obviously had a green arrow and thus the right of way. Throwing things isn't nice but you sure should have got the horn from that truck

Even if you were (you weren't) driving on the right side of the road, the people in this thread would still tell you you're in the wrong because you're driving too fast on what looks like a dirt road. You cant win so stop trying

OK, I'm down to the G1W vs the Mobius. I'm not terribly concerned about size. Regular G1W is $42 on Amazon. Is the battery model that bad in the heat? The capacitor model is $63. I'm moving to Southern California and driving there from NJ, down south to New Orleans and then across through Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. Mobius is going to be $90-$100 with the capacitor. Is it twice as good as the G1W? I know its half the size.

Scruff McGruff posted:The G1W is ok if you want a camera on the cheap but expect to have to replace them after a year or so, I've gone through 2 so far (though my current one has been chugging along for about 2 years with no issues). Definitely make sure to get one with a capacitor instead of a battery, the batteries have been known to explode if your car gets too hot, even in the northern US. Pivit posted:Today when I went out to leave for work I found my G1W shell popped open and the very bloated battery hanging down by two wires. Glad it didn't catch fire. Spatule posted:I think what happens is everyone recommends a crappy camera like the G1W and people buy them then are disappointed, then the same happens again with another model like the mini 0801 which is full of problems too, so when yet another recommended camera comes out that's cheap and crappy looking like the Mobius, people say gently caress it and buy something so expensive "it must be good." bobfather posted:Man this thread is crazy. I guess $240 dash cams are what happens when nobody edits the first post to just say, gently caress the G1W and anything else. Just spend $70 on a Mobius. Scruff McGruff posted:My second G1W is acting weird so I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and commit to the K1S. veedubfreak posted:I bought my G1W in Feb 14, it worked for about 6 months, then took a dump. Nice waste of 70 bucks. I'm going to do the same and just get a K1S, especially since I'm about to spend a stupid amount of money on a new car.

The only G1W series worth buying is the C version. But it’s far less common and harder to find a good deal on. Otherwise, just buy the Mobius with the $8 supercap. And then you can buy the $20 waterproof case for it and go diving with it if you want, since it’s an action cam that’s made to stand up to all sorts of abuse.
