Close-call thread (Dash Cam)

[Eric R]

oh thats a bad day. Good reminder on safe following distances 2/3 seconds and keeping head on a swivel. A huge problem I see out there is too many folks tail gate.. so you cannot actually get over due to three lanes of traffic within 1 second of each other. That and buffer stealers... leave 3 seconds between you and the car in front of you - i bet two cars will jump in that gap now causing you to tail gate... grrrrr

Sorry but swerving to miss the car in front of you in a panic braking scenario is the STUPIDEST thing to do.

Do you know how many idiots i see do that and swerve into an oncoming lane? Too many.

Brake as hard as you can but keep the car straight. Nothing like swerving and panic braking to send you in who knows what direction risking how many other's lives.

Not to mention that just like in racing, you don't brake and turn at the same time as you'll do neither very well.

I was for sure. No argument with that. However, this is why they invented looking over your shoulder. She had no clue till it was to late. I snipped it there cause there was some road rage later through the roll down when I got next to her ;)

Wow ... looks like you got into the anti-lock brakes kicking in.

Liking it mounted behind your head like that. Do you have any details on the mount setup you used? I have used the mobius for a couple years on my rc stuff, but have a dash cam I need to install.

How has that guy not died already? This can't be the first time he's done something like that. He also seemed pissed that he couldn't go in front of the Trailblazer.

it's a cruisecam headrest mount https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Shop-by-Brand-CruiseCam/ci/4/phd/4186922962/N/4294255798 (with the included mount removed), and a mobius C2 lens camera. i'm using a magnet mount from https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/store/products/magnet-mounting-disc/

i have since added a 2nd mobius facing rearwards, right next to it, to capture the rear view. this pic was taken in 2015, with my original C1 lens camera, and w/o the 2nd rear facing mobius

Wow that was close! Good thing no one got hurt. I couldn't help noticing your phone mount. What type are you using?

 

[Asharus]

it's a skosche magnet mount. it comes with a magnet rubber base, and a slim piece of metal to insert into your phone case.

someone on this forum recommended it and from what i can gather is what most are using here.
