    Does a power cord count as obstruction of view?

    I would not think that a thin cord would be an obstruction but it would allow an officer to know you had something on your windshield because it is visible and draws attention to the fact, so if there is an obstruction law they can pull you over and site you. The fact that it is hidden behind...

    Action cam or camcorder?

    I want (notice I did not say "need") a video camera and trying to decide if I should get a regular camcorder like a Sony HDR-CX620 or an action cam like a Sony HDR-AS200V? Does not have to be either of those particular cameras, I am just using these model numbers as a general indication of...

    SimpleUSB Automotive 12V to USB Adapter - Power dashcams and mobile devices from your vehicle mirror

    This looks like the mirror tap for radar detectors, that has been around for a long time. Cool idea and I am surprised at how small he was able to make it.

    2 mobius died in a week's time, now what do I do or buy???!?!?

    Something which I thought of when I first read the title of this thread was: :"why did 2 cameras die in the same week?" and the first thing I thought of was that the voltage in the truck may fluctuate far enough to damage the cameras. And it could be that if they both died in the same truck and...

    This is funny Attempted purse snatching on a bus (video)

    Just what I needed this morning; I laughed myself silly watching this. My wife came in and asked me what was going on so I told her and she says: "Sounds like he got what he deserved!".

    What's red, has eight wheels, and travels along the bus lane?

    He was wearing a red outfit so maybe he was trying to pass as a bus? o_O

    Impatient SUV driver 'makes his own lane' Indianapolis, IN

    I recognize it now; then he was lucky there was not a state trooper just up the road waiting like sometimes happens. The trooper outpost is just there at the next exit, Post Rd.

    Car Servicing Horror Story!

    I had my yearly service (12 month or 15,000 KM which ever comes first) done on my car last week and should have pulled my SD card to see what was recorded but forget to do that. Oh well, next year!

    Video Quiz

    You see that all the time over here. People cant walk more than a few feet to get to a door; there could be an empty spot across the street to park legally (like in the video) but they will just pull up and hit the flashers. Funny thing is it specifically states in the driving rules that...

    Rear cam - my Subaru XV side swiped by 18 wheeler

    That sounded terrible when he hit you; was there much damage? There is a surprising amount of damage to the truck. In the video you can see the fender and bumper bent.

    Street Train

    I grew up in a town were there was literally a set of tracks running down the middle of a street. There was a spur for a business on the south end of town and the tracks ran down the middle of a street for several blocks. Did not happen to often but when the train came through everyone gave it...

    Transcend DrivePro 520 / DP520 Dual channel ( outside / inside ). GPS, WiFi,

    Actually what I would do is use this camera on the wind-shield so they see it is there. Nice and out in the open so everyone can see it; let them know you are recording them. Then have another camera well hidden that records everything. Video of seizing incriminating evidence is so much more fun!

    Transcend DrivePro 520 / DP520 Dual channel ( outside / inside ). GPS, WiFi,

    This looks like it would be good for those people looking for a cam that can be used during traffic stops; the inside camera could be pointed toward the drivers window.

    Never believe a turn signal/blinker/indicator on any vehicle. (they may have left it on by mistake)

    The turn signals on motorcycles, as far as I remember from experience, do not automatically turn off; you have to move a switch, so it is easy to forget. Some vehicles have "reminders" that you left your turn signal on. My 2002 GMC Sonoma pick-up had that feature. I remember the first time it...

    I Might Be The 1St To Catch This With Dash Cam

    Petition the car manufacturers to incorporate dash cam systems.

    I would have to say pass on this one if it was out. I have read the online reviews of the dash cam/data tracker included with the new Corvette. The press is impressed with 720P resolution and that you can get 13 hours on a 32GIG SD card. To me those specifications are a year or so old...
