It's bright yellow , how hard can it be to avoid it

[wack]

Fitted a blackview front and rear dashcam to my car, it's only been in a couple of weeks

This woman went all the way round the blackburn bypass dual carriagewayin lane 2 , nothing on the inside lane but oblivious to me behind her.

we get to where the A59 goes to 2 lanes and again she's straight in lane 2 so as I was nervous about her driving I hung back until the lane split markings, she's been in that lane all the way so there's no way she could want to go south on the M6 is there , excuse the potty mouth , the wide angle of the lens makes her look further away than she was



This guy got much closer to the mirror than I was happy with , , if he rides like that all the time I doubt he's long for this earth, especially if he does it in front of a RHD truck

It's shit like that that made me install a Dashcam in the first place (I use a Roadhawk, personally). Bikers especially are hell on earth on the A1.

At one point the traffic was stationary, and bikers kept on lane splitting to get further ahead, as you do. One absolute wanker clipped an Audi's wing mirror folding it backwards, and I'm pretty sure it was broken. The biker had the nerve to give the Audi driver a snotty look before buggering off.

Hell, I think I still have the footage somewhere of a Nissan Juke paying absolutely no attention to the road on their phone. They almost hit a VW polo because they swerved into the other lane twice.

As for the Alfa Romeo driver in your video? They're thick enough to buy an overpriced shit-box Fiat. What else did you expect?

She must thought you were the sun . Mine is race red which means to stop . If peeps could only pay more attention to the roads and what others are doing ..

People like that need a Tesla that drives itself. While not perfect yet, still a better driver than they are. Glad she didn't hit you bro! Thanks for representing FoMoCo in the UK

Which blackview did you get? Did you have it hard wired? How do you get the videos off to edit and upload or use in an accident ?

I bought the DR750S from halfords and the magic box from amazon to hard wire it into the fuse box , it was the parking mode I was after , it's wifi so you connect the phone to it and upload them via an app

Had my eye on that dashcam a while ago, 20% off is a great deal! As for the idiots on the videos, just be glad you have the camera!

yellow seems to attract idiots - I have had my Mustang since January - so many near misses its ridiculous!

looking at the psychology of it - we (Mustang drivers) are ---generally --- experienced at driving with care and enjoying the experience

the lady - was so used to driving her heap and probably thinking "what time is little johnny back from school" - " what are we having for tea" - " should I try a different eye shadow?" - " I hate that cow at work" etc etc that she was in a world of her own - and probably thinks you are in the wrong , for having a flash car and beeping at her!

The motorcyclist - feels free...can do as he wishes, doesnt give a damn......

just my opinion of course!

either way - both are crap drivers and I am glad you didnt get hit Wack!

what I like about it is there's no screen and it tells you it's recording so you know it's working OK, picture quality is excellent though the transfer to youtube loses some quality, dead easy to fit , I bought some fuse adapters but they were crap so I ended up just wrapping the wire round the leg of the fuses

I had a cobra HD which is also good but the hardwire kit was live all the time where the Blackvue has a voltage sensor so it won't let the battery drain flat if it's left for days

she did put her hand up which is something I suppose , she's indicative of the poor standard of driving these days though, sits in the outside lane because she's too lazy to change lanes, probably spends most of her time on the motorway in the middle land because, same

The law was changed a while back to allow prosecution for lane hogging but like dogs crapping in the street and fines for spitting the signs cost much more than the revenue from prosecutions , much easier to put a camera in a van and site it in a bullshit safety zone ringing the till all day long

funnily enough I just watched a BBC video on the failings of the tesla autopilot system

Looks to me like a typical day driving in metro Atlanta.

Thankfully you had a dashcam, i'd be the kind of guy who the second the m6 opened i'd be in the outside lane. I don't like having asshole drivers like that infront of me, rather they were behind me where they can only go into my back end.

It’s far safer to keep the idiots in front of you rather than behind, far more options for getting out of the way..

 

[wack]

That's why I hung back for so long as she was unpredictable but when we go to the M6 South and North lanes I was fairly sure she was going north, luckily I didn't boot it or she'd have been in the door

Further behind me they are, further away from danger ;)!

It's terrific quality footage.
