car cameras

[Rufys]

not trolling just trying to understand the need for it
and why someone standing on the side of the road with a camera filming illegal driving is a wanker yet put one in a car and you're a hero
don't they achieve the same end result?
as i said i'm just a bit confused by this

No - you're trolling...

I'm sorry what? Who's ever claimed to be a hero? People are taking out a bit of extra insurance in having in car cameras and data loggers because of morons and you automatically think they're heros? WTF? And the side effect is catching morons who break the law and reporting them? Where is there any negative in any of that?

If someone has the time to waste standing on the road filming people breaking the law I don't care. I certainly wouldn't ever waste my time unless it was causing the area where I live to be unsafe in which case I certainly would. If people are breaking the law then they should be reported. If people aren't breaking the law and are driving responsibly they have nothing to worry about.

What is it you're lacking to understand the basics of all this? It's just plain old common sense.

because i always see **** flying off the back of cars/trailers at speed at you can't stop to get the rego details, and the fact my camera can record speed & street details so i can dispute allegations of speeding.

Motorcyclists caught 'street racing' - Cowan

Sunday, 17 June 2012 06:46:09 AM

Police have charged two motorcyclists and will confiscate their bikes after being allegedly caught ‘street racing’ north of Sydney yesterday afternoon.

About 3.45pm (Saturday 16 June), highway patrol officers from Kuring-gai Local Area Command spotted the motorcycles travelling south on the Pacific Highway near Cowan at 140kph in an 80kph zone.

The motorcycles were travelling side-by-side in what police will allege was a form of ‘street race’.

Police stopped both bikes and spoke with the two drivers, men aged 49 and 47.

Officers also seized a video camera which was found fitted and recording on one of the bikes.

A subsequent viewing of that vision showed the bikes travelling for more than two kilometres along winding roads at an average speed of 128kph.

Police arrested both drivers and charged them with street racing, dangerous driving and exceeding the speed limit by more than 45 kph.

Their licences have also been suspended and police will issue a notice to confiscate both bikes.

The pair is due to appear at Hornsby Local Court on July 11.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Command’s Operations Manager, Superintendent Stuart Smith said the supposed ‘mature’ age of the two men involved was a major concern for police.

“This type of idiotic behaviour is normally the domain of the young, so it is extremely worrying to see people with years of driving experience act in this manner.

“While they felt the right to use the road as a playground, their actions placed their own lives and those of every other motorist at grave risk.”

Just got one of these in Australia for $269. Really nice HD video with a GPS so you can see your drive, speed etc on Google maps
Blackvue DR380G-HD

Good pick up Brock4ever.
It looks to be very similar to the "Blackvue DR400G HD" except for the SD card size. You've got me interested now.
Don't forget to give us your appraisal of its ease of use and performance.
Cheers
