I forgot what its called, but it has something to do with the camera not being a "shutter" style camera, but a constant open aperture, or something like that. Excessive vibration causes it. Pretty much all cams will do that. Ive seen it on GoPros and even my own dash cams.

A charger and Challenger passed me doing around 146mph and 152mph the other day. As you can see, Im doing around 72mph

Do you mean these two points? Is it ok to cover the board with electrical tape? You know, to kind of protect it? Or do you thing they’ll get a little warm and melt the tape?

I switched vehicles and I’ve worn out two cigarette chargers. The way I hardwired my old vehicle is gonna be a bit differently this time. I really don’t feel like re-running the power cord again around all the trim. So what I’m gonna do is just use the old cigarette lighter that has already been...

Lets be honest, the odds of you being in an accident where clearly seeing the plates and need it is very, very rare. The main purpose is to see people, objects and other autos and to absolve you of fault in the case of an accident. Parking lot incidences where you are not present rarely result...

Nothing special but a high speed pass of 126mph on an uphill grade of around 3-4% maybe.

I agree with you. I think the reason that moniker has become common place in American culture is how veterans returning from Vietnam were treated. Americans realized their mistake and changed their attitudes towards all who have a high risk job and erred on the side of giving praise and thanks...

This is a co-worker of mine. He was on his way to work when this happened. Warning:lots of bad language. The PQ is poor becasue he texted me the clip, so its really compressed and blocky. Youll have to watch a few times to see what happened. Its a shame his cam moved during the accident.

Hard to tell if the witness had one, but a handgun wouldve de-escalated that real fast and maybe saved the taxpayers some money as well.

Very, very cool.

I hate to be the purveyor of bad news, but those are definitely lacking the "Amazing" moniker.

IMO, no, the engine brake probably wouldnt be good either because that would still put weight on the front end resulting in more pull to the side of the blowout. If anything, Ive been told in some instances, apply the accelorater to lift up the front end so you can gain control and then apply...

Is that the same Paseo Padre in Fremont??

My guess is, you dont make an active pass on someone and doze off. Youre alert, even if sleepy, until you complete the pass and get back in the right lane. I think he was doing something that took his eyes off the road for a moment or two and once he hit the shoulder he realized he screwed up...

You can see here in this pic from the other direction that the road started to curve and he went straight.
