Get a dashcam. Period!

I bought a new SUV a month ago. It has a backup, lane assist, and an interior camera pointed at the driver, but I cannot access any of the video which I am sure is stored somewhere upon a collision to absolve the automaker from any liability. I had to install my own separate dash camera.

And you taped over "their" cameras right?
 
I see maneuvers like that too often on I-5 in Oregon.

I had this happen in front of me on the interstate, yesterday. It could have been bad.



I am not sure what type of license plate frame they had, but between that and their speed, it is near impossible to get anything from their license plate. Best I could do to get this was to take a snapshot from VLC. Any better options for getting stills?

Not that I can think of. You would need a second camera with zoom for better plate reads. At least thats what I have read last time I looked into this.

A real shame that they are only just starting dual purpose cameras.

Not a dashcam, but I see so many video's like this where a motorcyclist doesn't understand the law of physics LOL

Yep, appears so to me, watch the front of the car rise up as it runs up on top of the rear motorcycle wheel.

Yeah, I arrived at that same conclusion but for a split second thought maybe I'm imagining things, thinking "surely no one is that stupid".

But the right answer is "Yes, there are people that stupid and please don't call me 'Shirley' "! :lol:

Thanks Shirley. Watch a few episodes of road wars or neighborhood wars, and behold the tsunami of stupid that's on display.
