A bus plowing over a curb, a guy cutting in front of me with about 2 inches between bumpers, and a lady walking INTO the side of a stopped car at a intersection. All in two drives totally less than 30 min.

Craptacular posted:If the annoyance of being talked down to is greater to you than the annoyance of paying a traffic ticket, then I'd argue the cop made the right choice. The more you dislike the punishment, then the less likely you're going to roll though a stop sign in the future, right? ?? People break traffic laws because they believe they're not gonna get caught, most of the time. Not because the punishment is a pleasure cruise.

So, what's the current go-to for reliable dashcams? Mobius?

TBH I notice several of those Aus dashcam videos feature roundabouts with arrows showing turning against the traffic direction of the circle. Such as the aforementioned 3:15 and one at 8:38. It's a bit confusing to my non-Aussie eyes.

Nitrox posted:not sure if it's a YouTube problem, or me watching this on the phone, but that doesn't look like 1080p it's claiming to be. Can you read license plates of cars directly in front? Try the IR settings 4K of bad-sensor, bad-optics recording may have 4K of pixels but can still look like blurry garbage.

LloydDobler posted:That video is infuriating me simply due to how unnecessary it all was. Subaru is so unaware that not only do they not know they're enraging someone behind them, they also don't see the brake check coming that was telegraphed from a mile away. Naw. Subaru was doing it on purpose. As hypnophant said, hypnophant posted:He also starts accelerating to cut the other driver off as soon as the car behind makes a move to pass, so, gently caress that guy Also, this is the shorta poo poo dashcams are made for.

Nitrox posted:Doesn't BMW cover all the service items for the first three years or something like that? In the 90s, Korean automobile brands were seen in the US as like 70s Honda - cheap, poor initial quality, and poor reliability. They fought that in the early naughties by introducing the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. Around that time, the consumer automotive industry started focusing on Total Cost of Ownership; German brands, with their high maintenance costs and running costs, were having a hard time stacking up. A $50K BMW which cost $15K to maintain and run for three years didn't seem so hot compared to a similarly-equipped $52K Toyota with $8K in maintenance over the same period. In order to reduce that TCO figure and appeal more to cost-conscious consumers; BMW, Mercedes, and eventually other brands, began introducing maintenance included for a set period (often 3 years) after initial purchase. A desire by those brands to make even more profit resulted in maintenance items that previously had been included in the manufacturer's suggested maint. schedule were no longer included. This has led to the "lifetime" coolant, "lifetime" transmission fluid, "lifetime" brake fluid, so on and so forth. I'm pretty sure BMW did not lengthen maintenance intervals and introduce an included maintenance plan to raise the value of leased vehicles in the 90s/00s because they didn't have a pre-owned warranty program and tended to try to ignore the existence of used BMWs entirely. It wasn't until after the CPO program was introduced that the maintenance warranty became a thing. The Prong Song fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Feb 25, 2020 |
