The Locator posted:You car appears to pull pretty hard to the right on full braking. The road is somewhat off camber through that intersection, more than what's obvious from the video. I think I lock the brakes up at the end there and the front of the car is just sliding sideways down the hill, as soon as I let up it goes back on course. Since the front is sliding to the right, the back of the car is going to try and pass the front of the car, especially with weight transfer forward, so the back is probably sliding out as well, adding to my direction change. Due to the fact that I don't have ABS I was pulsing the brakes pretty hard throughout that stop, but looks like I got a bit aggressive on the pedal toward the end. If I'm driving down a flat road and stomp on the brakes (not hard enough to lock them) it brakes perfectly straight. EDIT: It also looks like I may have actually steered to the right, obviously it's a case where steering left would be better to go around the back of the car, but it was drilled into my head in commercial driving school NEVER STEER LEFT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. You can cause a head-on collision on the other side of the road. Flying planes and driving boats (my two other forms of transportation), collision avoidance is also generally "steer right", so it's sort of programmed into me. chrisgt fucked around with this message at 23:11 on Mar 22, 2017 |

Whenever I'm in a newer car, I get distracted by all the touch screens, buttons, controls, etc. It's insane, no wonder they need self-driving cars, let you concentrate on operating a drat spaceship. I drive beaters and antiques, so I'm accustomed to the bare minimum stuff needed to operate a car. It's kinda nice, simple, to the point, gets the job done.

Than angle doesn't show the road as well, and half the picture is just the dashboard and hood.

nm posted:Can you change the battery (or put a capicitor) in a g1w? I mean easily. The insides of the G1W-C look exactly like the insides of the G1W, there's just a capacitor soldered onto the board where the battery belongs. Looks like it was an afterthought. I don't see any problem with changing the battery out for a capacitor. I don't deal with extreme heat, but I do deal with cold, my G1W-C has held up fine with -30F temps in the winter.

CharlesM posted:I got a G1W-C from Spytec to tide me over until the Street Guardian dual channel camera comes out. I noticed it stopped recording at some point on the drive last night. Any idea why? Is it true a UHS-I is actually too fast? A fast SD card shouldn't cause a problem, that wouldn't really make sense. Mine was having an issue where it would record to the end of the memory and not overwrite old files. Only did it sometimes, though... Kind of annoying, especially with a 16gb card. I messed with some settings and found out that setting the recording length to anything but 5 minutes caused the problem, after I set 5 minute clips I haven't had a problem for over a year and probably 30k miles of driving.

Mine will lose the date and time after a couple of days, 13 hours seems excessively bad. I actually don't know how to set the month/day on mine.... The settings just skips right over those and goes onto the time. lovely firmware, but the camera works, so whatever. I'll have to make sure I unplug it for a week and plug it back in on january 1st next year :P

nm, say someone was injured in an accident that wasn't their fault. The injuries took a couple months to heal at which time they were unable to do their job, missed out on a vacation, and were unable to perform their normal hobbies such as hiking, etc. It was also deemed that the injuries caused permanent wear and tear to the body, nothing serious at the moment, but could lead to issues down the road sooner than later. Besides obviously compensation for wages and medical bills, is this a case worth a lawyer to seek compensation for pain and suffering, and all that stuff you can go after?

OMG LOOK AT THAT VAN DON'T HIT IT! And then hit it. He's also really close to the car infront of him, helping my theory that he was hauling rear end around that curve. Looks like a grey day, the road may have been damp contributing to the loss of control.

The g1w is a piece of poo poo anyway, mine hit the windshield so hard it broke the windshield from the inside. Also smashed the camera and corrupt the file... Basically defeated the whole point of having a cam in a crash. I really wish I had the clip of my car bursting into flames....

Why don't you just replace it with a super capacitor? That's all the g1w-c model does. It's literally the battery model with a capacitor soldered across the terminals. It's a massive bodge job, but so is the rest of the product... Seems to work well unless you crash.

I just picked up a mini0906 and though I've only had it a few days, it seems like a pretty good camera. It's easy to use, seems to have fixed all the things people complain about with the 0805. Mine came as a kit with a rear camera which was kinda dumb since my car has tinted rear glass that slides down... hah. It'll be useful in my other car, though. I'll just order another one without the rear camera. Next time I'd probably get suction cup mount not the sticking to the windshield kind.

Mine hit the windshield so hard in an crash that it broke and didn't save the video clip. With the footage, this case might not be going on 6 months of dragging on.... I have a mini0906 and it seems to be a really robust camera. Saved my rear end the other day when someone ran into the side of my car. They claimed I changed lanes into them. Just a fender bender, so I should post that up in a couple week probably.

The other version of that which pisses me off almost just as much, and is equally dangerous is the "good Samaritan 2-way stop", in which the person who has right of way stops to let someone at the stop sign go. Now they've buttfucked traffic behind them, may get rearended, vehicle coming in the opposite direction probably isn't going to stop, why should they... Yea, I see that one all too often.

If every direction is clear and some dickhead stops to wave me on, I'll usually go as long as they're in clear view of the camera. But sometimes It's really not safe, I'll just sit there and honk/wave. There's a lot of insurance scam bullshit going on where I live, so I'm pretty careful. I've known a few people who had someone stop in the middle of the road to randomly wave them on, then crash into them on purpose, unless there's a camera, the scammer usually wins.Budgie posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIpWZjlQyIM&t=68s yea if the silver car and blue car had a headon, it would have been two dumbasses in one pass, it would have been beautiful. chrisgt fucked around with this message at 15:16 on Jan 22, 2018 |

I'm a lot less nervous as a pedestrian when I'm not loving JAYWALKING. Takes a pretty good dipshit to cross 4 lanes of traffic on a stop hand. It's not like the light recently changed, either. It had been green for a long time.

I should really get my rear dashcam hooked up. It came with my mini0906, I just haven't had the energy to drop all the trim in an SUV to run the wire. I still have the issue of a tinted back window that rolls down, too... I can't stick it to the window, and if I stick it to the headliner it'll get ripped off when I camp in the thing. Or use it to haul firewood, or lumber, or whatever else....

Budgie posted:I'm really struggling to see what the reason was for going and banging on the car driver's window was. The cyclist felt they stopped too late? The late stop didn't even impede them. I kind of feel like the car had both right of way and the ability to pull fully over the crossing and stop beyond it far enough for any pedestrian traffic to pass them. I've cycled and encountered a late stop many times but stopping my bicycle and half-hearted-vandalising their vehicle was never on my mind, or even necessary. Maybe a light level of 'wanker' motion or a finger or two, but never full on thumping on the window. People get really weird about cyclists and crosswalks. I have no problem with someone riding across the crosswalk IF THEY STOP FIRST AND WAIT FOR TRAFFIC TO STOP. Just randomly darting across the crosswalk is stupid, whether you're on a bike, skateboard, heelys, etc. Stop, make sure traffic sees you and stops, then proceed on your favourite method of transport. Hell, if someone rides across, they're spending less time in the road and everyone can get on with their day. But for gently caress sake, just like stopping your bike at a stop sign, stop before you cross and make sure it's safe. Your neon green bike shorts (or whatever the term is) won't reduce a car's stopping distance to 3 feet.

I do multiple cams for the cars I drive regularly, and I have one with a suction cup mount that has a USB battery pack attached to it for cars I don't drive regularly. This includes a car with 6v electrical system that would be difficult to hook a camera up with another method. It also means I can pull it down and stuff it under the seat for car shows. Also 12v positive ground... Don't go plugging a USB thingy into that lighter plug, the smoke gets out ...

Yea, if a 6v system is actually running at 6v, you have problems. It's like a 12v system running at 12, yer poo poo's dicked. It's easier to use a USB battery pack since it runs the camera for several hours at least, longer than I ever drive the car. It also doesn't have a lighter plug. Why modify something when it works. It's almost 70 years old, let it be. Most USB adapters are either inefficient piece of poo poo switch mode regulators that die below like 7v or so, or are properly designed and shut down below a certain voltage.
