Definetly something weird, don't think he was hitching a lift, when the car infront went round the corner, the guy didn't move a muscle, I went and he was still stood there not moving the 2 other cars behind me said the same

That's 4 cars (we all know each other, and had been out riding) that he just stood there for, to me a 'normal' person would have thought wtf and jump back thinking wow I just got nearly run over

The lads in the blue Mondeo phoned through to the police to inform them, as we decided someone like that was t safe to pull over and talk too Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

From video description: I can see what this guy was thinking. Get a better line of attack to go into the car park opposite as shown in the pics that follow. However, had he gone closer to the junction still on his side of the road, he would have been able to check if the road was clear and still make the entrance. If I had taken the corner faster, there could have been a collision and he would have been at fault albeit offering his line of attack to the car park as mitigating circumstances - Footage from Roadhawk DC-2.

I have found that mine works pretty well. Especially the manual recording which saves 10 seconds before you press the button and 20 seconds after. I've captured lots of wildlife and great scenery like that.
BUT, the impact recording is rather sensitive on the standard setting. Even an average pot hole was recorded. I have turned mine down to minimum. Also the lane departure warning got on my nerves so I turned that off altogether. MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

order yesterday and it turned up today Shocked

fitted the front camera this evening and over all quite please, decided on the central position just below the rear view mirror which does make it a little more exposed to the passing thief seeing it, but wanted it there for the lane wandering warning etc

if i turn it off, ill reposition to a slightly less exposed area Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

This berk in a Peugeot came flying up behind me and actually braked to the point of tailgating before deciding to accelerate into the outside lane to get past me before the exit. All in the wet and didn't it make so much time up for him? WOW! Rolling Eyes

Not a Blackvue, well could be, but it made me laugh. I bet he's got a curved telly in his flat too.

Quite a bit of coverage of the one above on Defender2 http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic46723.html

Seems the driver was a Land Rover off-road driving instructor driving a Discovery!

Well it didn't take long to catch some footage on the newly replaced camera. Any mitigating circumstances for the Nissan running the red light do you think? If I were in his position, I'd have stayed put because he isn't blocking the pedestrian crossing and unlike the cars in front of him, he isn't committed into the actual box to turn right and therefore not blocking the junction.

It very much appeared like the Fiat 500 was trying to reverse having taken a wrong turn. Dangerous thing to do if so!

Absolute bell end in a Clio. Tailgating a Fiesta, throwing litter and a dangerous overtake on a bridge. Didn't check properly, just charged onto other side of road and not far from a head on.
