Here in AZ, it's actually legal to make a U on red at many intersections - the kicker is you need to be able to do so without entering the actual intersection itself. Crosswalks are okay, as long as they're not otherwise occupied. They only count the actual area where different directions of traffic use the same pavement as the intersection.

For what it's worth, this mount does fit the Cobra CDR 840 almost perfectly. However, it is limited in angle adjustment, and will work better if you have a windshield sloped far back and not standing up. You could get some more angle out of it by trimming it, but I think I can make it work fine for my CR-V without it.

Mine is the next gen, 2013. I still haven't finished hardwiring it. I thought about tapping the lights up there but I can't seem to find any reliable documentation on how to remove the panel. I have an add-a-fuse installed and a long-rear end USB cable, along with a replacement for the non-reusable clip for the A-pillar. It's basically how they do the dealer-installed Homelink mirror upgrade.

Another episode of "old fucks can't drive". Watching this again I could've been on the brakes a bit sooner but it sure did look like he was trying to turn right into the lane to my right, not cut across traffic. Camera didn't catch it but he looked confused as hell as to why I was panic stopping / honking / swearing loudly at him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjhxgDb6bms

Considering that the last time I watched someone else blow a tire at 60MPH, they stomped on the brakes (and presumably sawed at the wheel) hard enough to do a 180 in their lane and grind against the center divider for a while, I'd say that went well.

Yeah, I like how in the caravan video you start off coming around a curve, possibly meaning there was no way the guy could've seen you before he started that turn into the road. The first one is lovely, but at the same time, you've posted enough of them to prove that it's a regular thing and clearly something you're used to because you are not currently embedded in the grille of a logging truck. The attitude may be "gently caress you I'm a truck" but insisting on legally right may end with you very much dead.

Now that I'm on a computer...yeah, at the very start of that video, you can't see him and there's no way he can see you. By the time you see him he's already halfway across the road. How fast do you want him to take that turn into (if I'm reading that sign at the end right) a 40 km/h road that has curbside non-parallel parking that you drove through?

Godholio posted:That depends on the road. Agreed, but I think a road where you have on street angled parking like that is one where you should expect slow / stopped traffic. The video makes it look like the caravan is making a right turn onto the road, and another right off of it... But how would this have been a better situation if someone was pulling into or out of those parking spaces instead of hauling a caravan around?

While I'd hope you would never have a "blind curve" on an interstate, there's no way you can realistically drive on one outside of rush hour where you'd be able to avoid obliterating some idiot who decides to run into traffic.

There's an Aukey dashcam that's been on sale on Amazon the past few days that looks really interesting, especially in that it actually has separate +12V lines for always-hot and switched, and ditches the screen for a wifi app.

Dual-lock does wear out eventually. I used it for a while to hold a transponder in my RC cars (one transponder, three cars) and eventually wore it out after a few months of racing.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Of course the Lexus comes to a complete stop and lays on their horn. I'm fairly sure the other horns you hear (aside from mine) are the other two cars going the same direction as me. Of course, one of them was that fuckwit in the middle lane who was sitting still on a green, which contributed to the Lexus driver's full on idiocy.

That's a weird intersection, I've never seen one where left-turners are not guided into the leftmost lanes of the road they're turning into. With that said, fuckstick turning right could've easily done that as long as they actually planned to stay in their lane instead of running into yours.

nm posted:I researched this. The c model has programming that shuts the camera and saves your data faster. Apparently, a batteey model with the cap shuts down too slow and still corrupts the data. I guess you could get a bigger cap, but they're so cheap I'd just buy a whole new camera. It's supposed to do that, but it doesn't always work very well. Replacing a G1W is always The Right Choice now that they've had a few years on them.

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:Google Maps went from damned reliable to a goofy pile of crap over the past year. I've been sitting, say, in the parking lot of my destination, and it shows me pretty much on the pin, but wants me to drive out of the parking lot, around the block, come back, and take a different entrance into the parking lot. It does this for me if I ever have it navigate me to work, and even wants me to take a different freeway exit a mile away because of it.

Shere posted:On Saturday I was waiting in the left turn lane at a green light for traffic to clear in the oncoming lanes so I could make my turn. At the tail end of the oncoming traffic was this red Tesla that began moving into her right turn lane. She comes to the corner, at a green light, stops, and waves at me to go. What in the actual gently caress? Who taught you to drive? I've only started experiencing this in the last year or two and it's maddening as gently caress. There seems to be some critical misunderstanding that right of way exists only to be polite, and not because it dictates proper flow.

The supercap is generally only sized long enough to power the camera down safely when it loses power - i.e. a handful of seconds. You want the camera powered anytime you want it recording.
