Depends on the situation. If you're trying to establish that the other party was using a cell phone at time "x," then having a correct timestamp would be invaluable.

Just got a A129 Pro Duo :). Hopefully will have some good footage for you all soon.

The motion detection in parking detection is pretty useless though... glad I have so many videos of cars entering/leaving the parking garage.

Actually looking forward to your trip report.

Here is one from a few weeks ago that freaked me out. They didn't come from behind me, and the driver looked a little shaken up, so I have to think he ran the red light bad and I somehow didn't see him when I turned. I mostly hit the save button so I could try to determine where he came from, but it didn't help.

"That intersection" delivers again. After the red pickup beside me runs the red, the SUV behind me PULLS AROUND so they can run it too, all to get stuck at the next light one block later. Even for Dallas that's :psyduck:

This actually made me laugh out loud. I've been here for at least 15 years, and I'd say the construction on 635 is at an all-time low. Which is to say, it is awful.

Not too bad on the freeway yet, so far they're mostly tearing up all the feeders beside it as part of that whole redesign. But the intersection I keep posting is one of the ones under heavy construction which is probably contributing to all the bullshit I keep seeing there. Speaking of bullshit, Dallas drivers had one hell of a weekend :stare:

I talked to Thinkware about this briefly and it seemed like they're saying that when the rear camera was destroyed it should have stopped the current 1 minute F and R clips and immediately started a new 1 minute clip with only the front camera.

Which it did, it just wasn't immediate.

I talked to Thinkware again to see if they would stipulate that the fact that my F800 stopped recording for ~1.5 seconds was proof of the extreme G forces of the impact. They did not/have not (yet?) but did acknowledge it shouldn't have stopped recording and sent me a new free one so that's kinda cool at least.

What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

Got the Garmin Mini 2 and I'm super happy with it. Super small, no glitchy problems, app works really well. I'm going to buy two more for my other cars. It's tempting having a rear camera but I think this is good enough for the moment.


I sincerely hope I never post any footage from it here :v:

guy in a pickup made a u-turn out of the bus lay-by right in front of me.

he fled the scene.

The assumptions are (a) no license (b) no insurance (c) illegal alien (d) drunk or (e) all of the above

added bonus : the dashcam which I purchased specifically for this car is safely at home in its box, waiting for me to get around to installing it :bravo:

All the airbage deployed. That damage was done by the passenger side airbag. The only things on the seat on that side were my phone, my shades and a book. The hood is crunched up but did not contact the glass.

I had a little crunch on the passenger side about two years ago which took out the turn light on that side. I just found a replacement off of eBay and fitted it a month ago. Lol.

Nocheez posted:

I picked up its "replacement" back in July of last year - an '02 LS430 in the same color scheme. Got it from a guy that ran the IT division of one of the larger resorts here. The poor guy bought it from its original owner (in Georgia), went through all the hassle to ship it here and had it on island for just over a month before getting laid off due to our covid shutdown.

Looks like TND started the turn but paused and wasn't physically in front of the red-light runner until he stopped then completed the turn.

Back seat driver says: Probably don't even start to turn if you think he might be running the red light. But I've totally started a turn on a 4 way stop even when I suspected the SUV coming down the icy hill full speed probably isn't going to make the stop sign. (She slid into the intersection and I had to wait for her to go after she stopped)

Yes, white truck was turning left. I have no idea how the other car rear ended him at that speed also turning left. I thought they were going to slide into the side of my car. A piece of plastic hit the rear passenger window. I came back by after school drop off and showed the officer's the video and they gave me a link to upload it. Both driver's left in ambulance's but seemed OK according to the officers.
