Here are a few of mine, from my trip to Weymouth. which is a seaside town with very tight roads, and 1 lane roads. And the 3rd video is interesting
Sorry about the Swearing
Got it from my Dad who used to be a London Taxi Driver














English roads, :frusty:

NOPE!!! FUCK that road on the top video!!!!!

I was a little slow on the reaction time because I was in disbelief that they actually went.

Doesn't look as bad on the camera as in real when it happened. Scary though...

Looked pretty bad to me. Good heads up driving.

I noticed my dash cam doesn't show distance very well. I think the lens is designed to take in a broad field of view like a fish eye lens so even if I'm riding some cars ass it looks like I'm four car lengths away from them.

You can't drive an American car, especially a LHD one, and expect it to be as easy as driving a European car on British roads

No of course not, just wish the stupid Sat Nav, would stop taking me down tight one lane roads :frusty:
they should have a width setting on the Sat Nav so it knows where to NOT send you down

Dashcam does change the field of view. On the video trust me it was nothing compare to when it happened. Even after honking I saw in the rear view mirror he kept going on the lane and then went back to his lane. I wish I had a dashcam before but you can hear my wife saying at the end of the video that at night a guy went straight on us on 183 south (How can't you see you're on the wrong lane? )

That's the road I'm talking about: (How can you miss it seriously???)

the field of view gives the illusion the car is further away. I know when I reviewed some footage of someone cutting me off, it didnt look that close but i certainly remember it being much closer in real life

It's exactly that! That might be why in court they don't like too much Dashcam as speed proof either... I heard it's hard to get out of a speeding ticket with a dashcam. Unless it's really obvious :tsk: It's also why I flashed my F750 to an F770 to get the speed stamp just in case...

Yeah.. this was way closer in real life than it looked.
