Opensourcepirate posted:Aside from mountain roads with "Chains Required" posted and things like that, are there any places where winter tires are a legal requirement? I think Quebec or Ontario or something have thrown up their hands and just made it mandatory during the winter months. e: Yup Quebec. http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/pa...hiver#mandatory quote:Information collected in 2005 shows that 38% of the accidents that occur during the winter involve at least one vehicle that is equipped with all-season tires. These vehicles are strongly overrepresented in these accidents, as it is estimated that before 2008, 90% of passenger vehicles were driven with winter tires. In addition, the proportion of the occurrence of loss of control is even higher when the vehicles involved are equipped with all-season tires. quote:The regulation defines tires specifically designed for winter driving as those that meet one of the following criteria prior to December 15, 2014:

Betacord posted:My G1W has started making weird morse code type noises over the recordings, I'm guessing the mic has shifted and is now next to some internal stuff. Luckily the sound recording was pretty lousy anyway, so I've just muted it. As long as the video works I'm happy. Is your cellphone right next to it?

The Blackvue has a "parking mode" but it's based on a motion sensor and not a G-sensor spike. There are a few videos on youtube of a Blackvue catching hit and run parking lot damage. Here's a dashcam video where nothing goes wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nZ1VzJnxxQ

some texas redneck posted:It honestly seems kind of like cheap insurance to keep the audio off, at least for me, in case I shout out something like "YOU loving IDIOT WHY THE gently caress ARE YOU CROSSING 3 LANES IN 10 FEET WITH A F-350 PULLING 2 HORSE TRAILERS WITH 30 HORSES YOU loving IDIOT WHY DIDN'T YOUR MOM DO A COAT HANGER ABORTION" (it kind of seems like I might get myself a talking to by homeland security if I kept audio on). I can just see one of these videos go to court.

veedubfreak posted:Mine decided that it was no longer going to read my memory card. Sigh... Can I just format the card and hope for the best? I know the Blackvues usually come with a totally sketchy SD card that needs to get thrown out immediately and replaced with a new one.

sanchez posted:BMW does it too. I've had it happen a few times, it seems to require a very specific set of circumstances, I've never had it kick in when it was unwelcome. All that happens is the brake pedal becomes very firm with no travel at all, so your initial press causes a large amount of braking force rather than the pedal moving and gradually increasing brake pressure. It's not like the pedal feels normal but the car randomly decides to stop as hard as it can. I like the BMWs with the "panic brake light" mode where extra brake lights come on when you hit the brake pedal extra hard. It helps me realize that most modern BMW owners are idiots who leave braking until the very last second and then shove their foot through the floor instead of looking ahead. They should just replace the extra brake lights with a little flag that pops out from the fender, saying "RETARD" and accompanied with either a comedy kazoo or deflating balloon noise.

two_beer_bishes posted:I was livid since it has only been in the car for a week! Now I'm torn between keeping it on velcro (need to make it so it won't fall off in the heat again) or make it semi-permanent. My wife wants to be able to take it out of the car when she parks at work and at home, but I can see it being forgotten on the day we actually need to rely on the footage. Knock out one of the foglights and install it behind the lens in a waterproof enclosure.

Where'd you get the SD card from? I've seen a lot of really good-looking counterfeits on eBay.

Laserface posted:I wish someone would write off my car. Your insurance companies must move a lot faster than the ones here. They move so slow with claim processing here that you could have the entire car parted out into the bare unibody using only a toothpick by the time opposing party sends an adjuster.

That is an incredible amount of accuracy for someone without the visual ability to see a large white pickup truck or the proper fuckin lane on the interstate.
