Close-call thread (Dash Cam)

The tough thing about riding a motorcycle is even if you make all the right decisions your life is still in the hands of all the drivers around you.

Yeah, lost my twin brother that way. He was riding along doing nothing wrong and a 55 gallon drum lid flew off a truck on the other side of the highway and killed him. I drove up on my motorcycle a short time later and saw him. Sold my motorcycle soon after that.

I need to get one of these cams for my car but I want to hard wire it in

many are USB voltage. Wired mine up with 12V to 5VDC converters on amazon that are $15. You may need a USB extension cord

I'm still in awe that OP thinks somehow that the handbrake would help with stopping distance.

I was going to comment on that ... only thing yanking on the hand brake will do is make you loose concentration on stopping with the regular brakes and most likely made the ass end lose control. Leave the parking brake alone unless you are doing some Tokyo Drift action.

Wow, that's a tough time. Sorry, man.

The aggressive reactions to the idiot drivers are just as obnoxious in my opinion (video #1). Could have just honked while braking, but nope - zipping around him was definitely necessary.

Yes it was. Had to let him know I was angry with him.

There is a reason why I don't hardwire or mount mine permanently on my windshield--- this is just screaming to have some thief check out the inside and valuables of your new car. Instead while it is not necessarily the most convenient thing, but definitely worth it, I will always get my camera out of the center glove compartment where I put it in when I arrive to work or even in my gated community (away from sun which causes it to be scorching hot) and just stick it to my windshield by the suction cup and power it on with the A/C cable to connects to my cigarette lighter.
