HOLY @#$% - Wow great save indeed... glad you were able to save it, but this shows how the dash cam would have told the story... you literally had no room to stop.

Not a close call, but easily the weirdest drive through exchange I've ever had. Turn up the volume to hear over my crinkling bag.

Here's another one; it's not nearly as close, because I saw it coming and this car has better brakes.

I find that people in the states, seem to just drive around not paying attention to anything outside their windows.

The sad part is that I have more instances I've recorded similar to that. I try to drive with my head on a swivel.

One more idiot that just thought he could wait on the opposite lane before to make a turn with the a car coming towards him.

Fast Forward almost to the end of the video

Sorry I was talking French lol + I was on the phone with my parent lol

That Waylens system looks good, I love the live GPS orientation. But how's the night time performance? So many dash cams let me down with low light deficiencies.
Here's some night video into morning... nothing special on the video, except a minivan who decided to slow to 60 in the fast lane with no traffic in front of them... and they actually moved over when I flashed them.

How does that dash cam get info like the weather, your boost/vacuum level, engine RPM, etc?

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure where the weather portion comes from. It might be done in transcoding based on GPS, time and historical weather data. The camera does have an internal barometer sensor though.

Boost, RPM, and other engine data is provided by the bluetooth OBDII adapter. Gyroscopic and speed data come from sensors inside the camera.
