What a moron in the skoda! What was he thinking!

I am quite tempted by the idea of one of these dash cams after watching a few of videos of near misses on you tube - what model is yours and how expensive are they?

I`ve tried to clarify the image, to identify age etc of the driver with little success.

The dashcam is a cheap chinese item called 808 #11, I`m looking for a better one.
A good reviewer of different dashcams is by a youtube user called "techmoan".

I have to thank a switched-on BMW mini driver for braking hard on my nearside to let me in. Not sure if I had any where else to go otherwise. the timeline on the dashcam gives me 3 seconds before we meet.

Sadly difficult to prove wee smell. Bit of camera shake doesn't help, but could that have tinted windows?

Roadhawk is the one if you ever want to use the footage as evidence.
Not only does it record vehicle speed & direction (with a Google Map overlay), it also records pertinent information such as G-Force levels so the insurance company knows who the whiplash bull$hitters are.
