especially when some idiot in a caravan overtakes you.

I agree, matey.
One question....I understand people send footage to the police about 'traffic violations' etc, taken by dash cams. Do the police act on these vids that get sent to them ???
-
are these allowed in court?? :y
-
Whoops.
-
Mmm. I got one for Xmas only to find you cannot use them in Spain. Not legal to record anyone unless you have their permission. Especially policemen. ;D
I would have thought a camera recording of an incident where someone else was at fault could only help your case in a court.

For most moving traffic offences, a normal S172 notice must be served on the registered keeper of the car within 14 days of the offence for a subsequent prosecution to be viable. So for the police to take action the video has to be submitted quickly, with details of date, time and location, and the investigating occifer must decide if an offence has been commited and then get the NIP/S172 in the post fairly smartish. AIUI basically only any use for Careless/Dangerous driving, and no use for speeding.

Haven't there been cases of bikers shooting themselves in the foot by posting videos of themselves doing silly mph? :-\

What on earth was he doing , looks like he lost control :-\

I love the way caravans just burst in an accident!! :D ;D
On a serious note though you'd think that caravans would have to have some sort of minimum structural standards, those water containers bouncing down the road would be lethal! ::)
-
Those pillows will need a wash too before they can continue with their holiday. ;D

caravans as my old boss would say balsa wood homes on wheels :y

I appreciate that it's only a little caravan but it looks as if the driver started to turn back in before even his car was past the lorry. ::)

I reckon the underwear they were wearing may be lightly soiled too ::) :-X

Funny you should say that as we looked at some caravans in Spain. 5 berth and total weight 700kg. Same thing in Britain is about double that!! I can't imagine what the Spanish caravans are made of.

I believe he went for the overtake on the wider part of the road before the filter but then saw the road island and tried to squeeze back in between the lorry and the island bollards. Moment of haste trashed his van......... and probably scratched the truck he was passing. ::)
-
Fairly new van too, looking at the rear lights :-\
-
I'm going to go for "not paying the slightest attention to the road ahead". ::)
FFS, if you can't drive let alone tow for toffee, book a hotel like everyone else. ;D

Well I had been fancying the Roadhawk camera especicially after seeing the footof the Holden/VXR V8 taken for a test drive at speeds in excess of 100mph.
Thena few weeks ago my brother mentioned the drivepro by transcend had been getting the best rating from the media, so looked arround for one but all were sold out, not a bad price at £89 but no GPS logging.
Now found out the have brought out the DrivePro 220 with all the bells and whistles inc a rear screen, no stock any where when I looked a few days ago, but have now ordered one, was due next week on thursday due to me being . . . . erm . . .tight. But got a nice surprise to found my total order price got me next day delivery (Monday as its a week end) So will be out for a nice run round on monday... :y
-
I have two of the transcend Drive pro 200 one in the front and one in the rear
It seems to deter people getting too close behind once they notice the camera looking at them ;)
-
1st it was a f?%d pikey house drager.
me thinks he forgot he had the pikey house behind him,when he came back in.
Also truck driver wasn't looking in his mirrors.

Also truck driver wasn't looking to let him in. Ever.
;D

Transcend DrivePro 200 front and rear here also good quality all round :y
-
Perhaps in his moment of sheer panic he forgot he had a van on the back. ;D Also i wonder if anyone offered to pick his cassette toilet up for him. :P

It probably wasn't in any worse a state than his driver's seat. ;D

Was he still full of booze from the night before? So many variants.
Many the HGV wasnt checking his mirrors, but cant see how this incident would be classed as his fault.
