You're not passing anyone, get out of the passing lane.

Yup.

If I were elected Supreme Leader I'd legalize watermelon-bombing of people who hog the fast lane.

Worst and... I guess most bizarre thing I see on a regular basis, though... There's a fast-lane hog way out ahead of a line of cars... People merge into this slow-moving line, leaving other "slow" lanes mostly open/unoccupied, while they're only a car length or two apart. But... Oooo they're in the fast lane!! Oh boy!! (but they're getting passed..) What the christ

Something I really don't get is why people overtake trucks on the right.

Just hang back for a couple of seconds, give them space to merge all the way to the right, and then pass them on the left. So much safer for all involved.

I try to always give large trucks a very wide berth, NEVER dive bomb in front of them even if it means sitting in a lovely lane for an extended period.

Passing on the right.. I mean, it depends on the situation but yeah I'm with you there. I know from driving bitchass UHauls once or twice that having people pull idiotic crap especially on the right is nerveracking.

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.

I bought a Blackvue DR400G-HD2 based primarily on Amadong reviews just about two years ago +/-... It's a steaming pile of poo poo.

This isn't my first rodeo. I think the sample recordings from this $240 cam are f'ing glorious, and it excels in all of the areas where this piece of poo poo Blackvue has failed me time and time again.

Having your dash cam record audio can be quite a revelation - I had no idea quite how much I hurled verbal abuse at other drivers or at what volume :ohdear:

Opposite for me, my problem is that when some incredibly stupid/possibly youtube-worthy BS is happening, I now need to be really careful not to go TOO overboard, or to "flub" my cursing. That clip where I dodge around the trash can, I had to censor AND just drop a big chunk of audio because reasons.

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:

I turned the audio recording off because I live in CA.

It's honestly kind of surprising to me that there aren't even more fatalities/accidents than there are now. I'm a lovely rear end in a top hat driver who speeds, I'll accept that... but... I stay in my lane, I don't run reds, I don't jump solid white lines... I always signal, I'm not dialing, I only RECEIVE calls (handsfree) I don't cut off/kamikaze 18 wheelers........... It's an absolute poo poo-show out there and it's only going to get worse.




Suuuuuuuuuper nice. I will be moving my garbage Blackvue to be rear-facing tonight I hope. That or... oil change... I dunno. Such an annoying unreliable piece of junk I might just shelve it :mad:

Good idea. Dash cams are specifically legal to windshield mount in CA if you put them in the right place (generally window mounting is illegal) and either don't record sound or have specific notices posted. Ca is also a 2 party consent state. This, and the fact that i talk like a drunken sailor, is why I have audio off on my car. You don't need audio anyhow.

Wait, what's this about 2-party consent?

You're saying that if my footage is to be used as evidence in case some sort of incident occurs... It might be invalidated or... I'd get in some sort of legal bind?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh crap. I didn't know about any of this, but I DID hear about this corvette thing. Did not know the specifics.

I'm pretty sure that if I spent more than about 20 minutes in your car I would have a splitting headache. That drone...

There are exhaust systems out there for this engine/this car that don't drone at all or... at least not as badly but... They're significantly more expensive, and I think they are FAR too quiet and muffled.

Let me just preface this by saying... I had already endured 15 minutes of gridlocked surface streets, (only having traveled about a mile) before reaching this interscection, so I am a bit more angried up than usual.

Saw an accident earlier this evening...

(fair warning, actual accident happened JUST out of frame... so you might not want to invest ~30-60 seconds just to hear the impact + see a crumped Saturn)
