Speaking of red light runners, here's one, though not anywhere near as close since I was slow off the line. Still, it must've been solid red for him for a while

It's also amazing how much stupid poo poo you come across that you just ignore without a carmera.

I wouldn't settle for less than $800, personally.

Yeah sorry maybe rolling through a stop sign is fine if there's nobody around but corssing on red when someone might have a protected left turn or cross traffic is dumb / suicidal

I really don't understand why in those dashcam compilations you always see/hear the driver madly pawing at the button to save the clip. Are you running a 32MB SD card my dude? Just download the clip when you get home. Your average reasonably sized card will hold like a week's worth of footage.

That's why I'm using voice recognition on my 1S :smug:

So I have to turn down the music and say "record video" like three times. And yeah I stuck an old 16gb card there, I can't have a card there worth more than the car itself. But yeah it's still hours of footage at 1080p.

OP posts a video of this accident he's in but several people notice:

he cuts the audio levels to cover up his engine noise when he accelerates into the person cutting him off

and he cropped the video so it doesn't show his speed, even though in prior videos he didnt crop the speed out

I occasionally check that sub and there's a surprising amount of people that will post incriminating videos of themselves being idiots just in the hopes that some strangers will approve their dangerous behavior because they were "technically correct" or sometimes not even that.

I don't know if italian drivers are more attentive or they do expect weird poo poo but yeah.

Italians probably expect other drivers to do something wild because they'd do it themselves too

OP doesn't really say if it's for insurance/CYA or some kind of artistic purpose. I have a cheap Xiaomi cam that will do time-lapse videos automatically (so no stitching later), or with a large enough card, it'll record 1080p video for a looong time. You could then just delete the old videos. The benefit I think is that you can then use the camera for other purposes, while a dashcam is pertty useless.

I have it on good authority but nobody ever goes back and looks at that continuous running footage unless something really good/bad happened.

That's... true, though if you're making a roadtrip movie, it's great to have some time laps footage to cut to.
