I'd think without the video, the Corolla with rear/side panel damage would probably come out ahead by default: the Audi hit the Corolla with the front of their vehicle and thus the assumption is that they were the cause of the accident, bereft of all other context. With the video you have an idiot Corolla running a red light and an idiot Audi almost vindictively causing an accident. e: I still think the Corolla comes out ahead because really the Audi could have just... not did the thing they did. They're both dipshits, all told. Solanumai fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jun 15, 2018 |

buttcrackmenace posted:hard to say who's at fault here Looks like the Audi saw the black Dodge dart and slowed down (didn't actually full stop), then didn't see the corolla ALSO running the light. It's an innocent mistake to assume that two people aren't going to run the light in front of you, a mistake the Audi driver probably won't make again. This is 100% the fault of the corolla driver, I hope they get what they deserve. Also I think it's a Volvo not an Audi.

buttcrackmenace posted:hard to say who's at fault here Car going straight through the intersection (Corolla) has the right-of-way. Car turning left (Audi) will carry the bulk of the liabilty; hell, it stopped for the first car, there was no reason it couldn't have waited for the Corolla. After it passed, even on red, the Audi has the right to clear the intersection without interference, so the rush to turn was crappy judgement. The side impact to the Corolla going straight helps the Corolla. The left-front damage on the Audi is just another nail in the liability coffin. If I'm the insurer of the Audi, I would make a serious run at 15-20% comparative negligence with the adjuster handling the Corolla: it ran the red, and I'd claim I was already standing in the intersection...but I'd be prepared to go down in defeat. From a statutory point of view, the Corolla should get a ticket for running a red; but statutory charges have little real bearing on civil legal liability. (edit) woof, Audi actually impacted well past the center of the Corolla, at the rear wheel well. It's toast. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jun 15, 2018 |

buttcrackmenace posted:hard to say who's at fault here I've watched it multiple times and had no idea who was at fault. also: I cropped the beginning of the clip but I was in traffic and it was an extremely short light so when it turn yellow I was able to stop easily. Good thing I did! Major Isoor posted:What idiots! I think they should both have to pay for the damages to their own cars, personally. Both people involved were pretty stupid. Did you give your details to either of them, by the way? Honestly I was debating it at the time and probably should have stuck around but just drove around the Audi when my light was green. I'd been out since like 7am that day (accident was 10:20pm that night) and I was two minutes away from home and I just wanted to get my day over with. Not really a great excuse but I was exhausted. My favourite part of this whole thing is the guy in the car beside me honking at pointing and laughing, he was having a great time.

Craptacular posted:What's the point of a dashcam with an integral screen? Pretty much everybody has a smartphone now. Just put wifi on the camera, connect your phone to the camera over wifi and watch the video on your phone. The camera will be lower profile and easier to mount, the screen will be easier to view, and I'm guessing a wifi chip and antenna is less expensive than an LCD screen. To be honest, I use the screen to (a) aim the drat thing and (b) to make sure it actually has power, as the power supply occasionally pops out of the power socket in my car. There's also a bug in mine where if I happen to start the car just as the cam is powering down (it powers down 60 seconds after losing power), it never powers back on until I unplug it for about 10 seconds. It's nice having a visual indicator that it hasn't powered back up. I can't see the power LED when driving, but I can sure as hell see the LCD. Mine does have wifi, but it takes 3-5 minutes to transfer a single clip to my phone with it.

It depends on the state but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Corolla comes out ahead. Most driving codes include a catchall "duty to avoid/yield" type clause that basically says "even if you were following all the road laws, if you cause an accident that you clearly could have avoided then you will still be at least partially at fault". There's a plethora of videos online of cammers deliberately causing accidents at intersections where they see someone trying to beat/run a red left turn light and they floor it going straight to hit them. Then they are all shocked and outraged when the cop cites them or the insurance company splits fault. There was a fun one a year or involving a cammer that was notorious for being extremely aggressive towards bad drivers (to generate more content for his youtube channel about how bad everyone else is at driving). Basically a minivan made a last second decision to take an exit and started to merge over with no signal right in front of the cammer. He then sped up to get next to her while honking and basically PIT-maneuvered the van off the road. He began posting smugly about it all over dashcam forums and when other people told him he was being a dangerous rear end in a top hat by not avoiding the crash (and even arguably swerving into the van to cause the crash) he would just fall back to "she's the one that was breaking the law, I legally did nothing wrong". Then he ended up getting found at fault (I think it even went to court and I'm pretty sure he's the one that took it that far because he was so mad about being any percentage at fault) and everyone had a good time laughing at him.

Cartoon posted:The Aussie male x 2 You can see in the 'close up slow-mo' that the left front has a huge amount of negative camber as it's swerving to the side before any impact. That's a mechanical failure caused accident IMO.

Without even noticing that, it's 100%,mech failure causing a hard left. It's on a highway so it's not rwd acceleration oversteer, it's not phone or drunk driving veering either. It's just a "full steering left" crash so probably loose wheel or mechanical steering/suspension failure. I did notice it swerve a bit to the left and the driver correcting to the right in the beginning while the vid is in fast forward but I put that to phone/idiot driving. Let that be a lesson to us all, if on a highway and the car seems swervey, pull off the road and wrench on your wheels to find anything loose or call for a tow.

As shocking a crash as that is, it's great to see that at least three cars (including the dash cam driver) stopping to block the right-hand lane and have a gawk! Oh well, at least he survived

Caught this winner on my dashcam a little bit ago on an errand run. I probably could have reacted quicker, but all's well that ends well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPaXg_zd8bQ The driver looked like some old lady completely confused. I have absolutely no idea how she ended up on the wrong side of the road right there. After I passed she got in the proper lane heading south and zoomed off. I especially love the city cop that passes the situation a few seconds before I come across it, doing absolutely gently caress-all about it. I'm also a witness to an upcoming bench trial thanks to a dashcam in my dad's car that I was driving in to work one evening. Unfortunately I don't have the video, as the police must have accidently moved the clip instead of copy, but hey. I wasn't going to cause a stink over it. Basically what happened was a motorcycle and a monte carlo got in an impromptu street race right in front of me, and the biker plowed into the back of a slower car doing about 80. He had a girl on the back, neither of them riding helmets. Miraculously they both survived, but the state charged both that were racing, and numbnuts mcbiker decided to take it to trial. I can't imagine it's going to go well for him, as my footage clearly shows him and the car flooring it, and him utterly failing to cut around the slower car before eating it.

About a year ago, feeling evangelical because of this thread, I convinced a coworker to install a dashcam on their car (and I helped set it up for them) Last month, someone cut her up whilst texting and gave them the finger when the horn was used. All this was clearly caught on the dashcam. Well, in our region, you can submit dashcam footage online and complain to the police. So they did. Yesterday, they got a letter informing them that the driver had been prosecuted for using a mobile phone and fined £200 and given 6 penalty points (that's half their license gone) Very satisfying.

Hey guys, I get that this might not be 100% the best place to ask but well, it does kinda relate to my dashcam and I'd like your opinion on the matter, so I thought 'why not'. So anyway, I'm in need of a new GPS unit for my car, but I'm absolutely sick to death of suction cap models that start falling off the windscreen, after a while. Are any of you aware of either models that come with adhesive mounts (like a dashcam) or perhaps a common/popular GPS model that has a third-party adhesive mount, that I can get? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

A roll of this is a little pricey, but it is seriously strong and what Massachusetts uses to affix transponders to your windshield: https://www.amazon.com/3M-Reclosable-Fastener-SJ3560-Clear/dp/B00JHKTDMA/ You could take pretty much any dash cam with a suction cup, pop the cup off and use some sandpaper on the plastic plate, then bond it to the windshield with the 3M stuff and it would likely work great. It's like velcro but a bit stronger to break apart, and doesn't really wiggle.

We buy that particular brand where I work - it'll hold up for a surprisingly long time, and this is in a humid, dusty warehouse environment. I can't give you an exact time period, though. Repeated removal isn't in issue, so long as you don't deliberately jack up the fasteners.
