Welp, after Monday's festivities on the way home I ordered one from that Amazon link. Wish I had playback of the truck rolling towards me in slow motion. FYI, you can get a class 4 32gb sandisk for 19 with free shipping there too. veedubfreak fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jan 15, 2014 |

The good thing about most rear end crashes is that the vehicle that hit you is usually going to be incapacitated and about 99% of the time whoever did the ramming is at fault.

I spent the last 2 winters riding on my Continental DWS all seasons, and for all season tires they are great. But they still left a lot to be desired compared to my current Continental Winter Extremes.

I already got my dashcam off that chinese guy. I ordered it last Wednesday and it estimated something like 10-15 business days. Its possible it got here sooner but I only bother checking my mail on Monday and Friday. Pretty amazing for being shipped from China.

It has been below freezing every day since I got my car back last Friday so I haven't been about to mount mine. Of course today I get to watch a dipshit in a truck do a full 360 and not touch a single thing. Amazingly no one rear ended me or anyone else when we stopped for him. He was blocking 3 out of 4 lanes.

Anyone have a quick list of the optimal settings for this? I need to turn the sound off and possibly change how long the intervals are. Seems by default it is set to 3 minute intervals which seems kind of short. I finally got it to stick last night and got to record my 15mph commute home because I got stuck late at work. Amazing how leaving 30 minutes late gets me home an hour later than usual. Also, the interface is incredibly tedious. Any tips? veedubfreak fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Feb 12, 2014 |

I had some cocksucker in a Neon pull up so close to my rear bumper this morning I couldn't see his hood. And then he started yelling and motioning for me to pull forward. I was at a red light with a car in front of me. It's times like this that I'm glad I take my meds, otherwise when the light turned green and he layed on the horn before the car in front of me even moved, I would have been likely to sit there until the light went red again. What the gently caress is wrong with people.

My g1w is being weird. I set it to turn the display off after 3 minutes, but it basically stays on constantly. Meanwhile, it acts like it turns off completely while I'm driving. WTF is it with this thing.

Yes it stays on indefinitely and when it does decide to shut off there is no light on the power, and it gives the "turning off now" sound.

Crotch Fruit posted:The worst part about that is the loving white car that just slowly rolls backwards away. . . The white car was the cause of the accident. The only thing I can figure out is that he rear ended the Bronco then somehow bounced off and went 2 lanes over then rolled back into the guardrail. Out of the 3 cars that ended up on the shoulder, his was the only one with major damage. Also most of the debris was in my lane. If you fullscreen it, you can also see the puff of white smoke in my lane.

Out here in CO using a turn signal just gets you blocked out of the lane change. As far as stop signs go, you kind of learn which ones really shouldn't exist and which ones to actually stop at. There is no reason to stop and sit for 5 seconds. It says stop not stay.

Heh, I watched some moron drive over the curb yesterday. But not just up a curb, actually over one of those planter type curbs but with no grass/dirt in it. Pretty sure it did a number on their rear wheel. Not really worth pulling off the camera though.

It takes a surprising amount of time to format a 32gb flash card. Mine lost it's mind and kept giving me read errors so I did a full format. Since it didn't finish before I left work last night I'm amazed that nothing interesting happened.

I just drive right up to them and lay on the horn. Although I only do this when they deliberately block the intersection when they can clearly see that there is no way for them to clear it.

Kill-9 posted:A 1-1.5 hour commute? I'll stop complaining about my 12-15 minutes. And to think, I bitched pretty loudly when they moved the office and took my 8-9 minutes of back road driving to those unreasonable heights. I'm starting to look for a new position and remote positions are in the lead for me right now. No commute, no pants? Perfect. On a good day 225 traffic takes me 30 minutes. And starting Monday I get to start working (read:have to) 9-6 instead of my current 7-4. I'm less that thrilled. I've pretty much determined that bus drivers and rock haulers are the 2 biggest cocksuckers on the road pretty much every where in the US.

xzzy posted:I don't think it's a tire problem nearly as much as it is poor education.. inability to properly handle a fishtail means they zip the wheel back and forth trying to get straight and oscillate themselves into the ditch. Or they stand on the brakes and lock all four wheels, doing a pirouette into whatever's unfortunate enough to be in the way. 90% of those videos would be solved by SLOWING THE gently caress DOWN.

subx posted:I bought mine a couple of months ago and have not had a single issue. My card is a Sandisk 32gb Class 10 micro SD, which is supposed to cause all sorts of problems.(Amazon Link where I bought camera, and Amazon link for card) So far the only issues I have had with mine are that I got a record error because the card flipped out. Formatting the card fixed that issue. In stop and go traffic, the voltage on my cig lighter must drop low enough to make the camera shut off. This would be solved by hard wiring it, but I'm trading the car in soonish and can't be bothered. And the camera likes to fall off the mount if I take a hard right turn. This can be solved by ordering the rear view mount. The one good thing about the g1w is that it has the lcd display so if you ever need to show the video on the spot, like say when someone flips their truck and it lands on your hood, to the cops, it's right there without any effort.

Hindsight is 20/20 etc.. People pull the shoulder passing bullshit at least 2-3 times a week while I'm sitting in traffic. And there never seems to be a cop around when you want one. A couple years back a couple teens lost their legs changing a tire when some fuckface rear ended their car on the shoulder.

CO is a single party consent state. So as long as I know I'm recording there isn't poo poo the cop can do. But then again, most of the cops out here are wearing those wireless cameras on their jacket anyway. One of the bike cops (revenue enforcement) was at our office talking about something or other last year and he says he likes to pull up next to idiots that are texting at a stop light and just put his camera on their window.

All of the Mini 0803/0801 vendors on amazon have enough bad reviews to be questionable. Mine does this in stop and go traffic. It's like it doesn't detect enough voltage at idle. I need to upgrade to something better myself. I'm still annoyed that I haven't managed to catch a single interesting incident in the 7 months I have had the stupid thing.

That was definitely the craziest thing I've seen while driving. Actually had some idiot do something similar to this the other day. Not the cutting around to try to turn left, but they turned left and it was backed up and blocking traffic. For once there was a cop there to see it happen and pulled them over for it. Also, I'm about to throw my g1w out the window. The fucker just randomly turns off for no reason at least 2-3 times a day while in traffic. Welp, I think I'm done with this stupid g1w. There was a huge pile up on the passing lane while I was in the middle lane, and somehow the camera is missing that loving minute of footage. gently caress this thing. veedubfreak fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Nov 21, 2014 |

Chinatown posted:Yup. Its completely understandable. I have been in that exact situation a couple times. One last week. I braked, slightly altered course to the right, and kept the car steady. I was going ~80mph at the time. It comes down once again to driver training. The vast majority of people on the road have no clue how to do anything but go straight. I've had this sort of thing happen multiple times due to driving a grey sub compact, my car is invisible to the average moron on the road. But I know how to move out of the way of danger without losing control of my vehicle.
