    Serious (spectacular) traffic violation

    That's not driving, it's aiming with both eyes closed!

    Hit and run, and then run on foot

    I remember the stickers on the back of semi trailers that said, Lights on for Safety. And highways in Canuckistan are almost all two lanes, so seeing the headlights of a car in the distance is great because you can judge the distance betterand pass if it's safe. Cars without the DRL's on, or...

    Cammer cuts in front of semi truck, causes collision, leaves the scene and blames trucker

    So common with the "me first" crowd. And trucks were just made to cut in front of. I understand the truck drivers frustration, it does get tiring to be constantly cut in front of. But, even though cammer is a moron, I was taught to keep yourself out of situations where accidents can happen, and...

    Right of way denied

    Sometimes it's an asshole, sometimes it's an error in judgement... and sometimes it's an idiot behind the wheel! Like kamkar1 said, these guys are working and time is money. Let them get on their way. What gets me is the so called professional drivers that pull these stunts, only to be sitting...

    Karma Strikes Again

    I'm curious DaffyP, did you offer the footage to the HP? This is a grey area. If you have video that can help an investigation, are you obligated by law to share it? I'm not aware of any laws requiring it, and I could see the privacy POV, but if it gets idiots off of the road...?

    Traffic lights too close to each other

    As long as the mantra "Knowledge is power", without the attendant wisdom to apply that knowledge, is all that is required, we can expect stupidity from on high to increase.

    Ladies and gents, first thermal video

    Very cool though. I find it interesting that the heat signatures on some vehicles were rather pronounced, while others, like the left turning car, aren't. It looked like you have it inside the cab? I can certainly see the applications for this in extreme weather. In fog, or worse, snow dust...

    What would you have done?

    Not knowing the rules of the road there, I would have done the same. Better to er on the side of caution.

    4-Cam System?

    www.driversprotec.com Might be out of your price range but we have a 1080p 4 channel system. Like jokiin said, it's aimed at the commercial trucking market, but we have adapted them to other uses...

    It's not ready from dashcam, but about traffic accident

    And a suit of armour, and full leathers! Man as if the road rash wasn't bad enough! Makes you wonder what he got Karma'd for!

    Hindsight is 20/20

    The rules and regulations are enforced, with punishment meted out on the spot. In the case of logbook violations, a driver can be forced to sit wherever he is stopped, for up to 72 hours! No food, no bathroom, no trial. If the cop wants to be a real dick, he can say you're parked illegally and...

    Hindsight is 20/20

    First of all, properly aimed, mirror mounted rear facing mirrored cameras just catch the sides of the vehicle for easier reference. They have a 120° coverage, so you can see across many lanes, like an extra set of mirrors that record, just in case. Personally, I think that driver facing cameras...

    TrailVision Trail Camera System

    There's tons of these systems available from China, me thinks the mark-up is a bit much. It's a backup camera with 4 cams, and the cams can be had for cheap in bulk. I'm not knocking the competition, because it isn't. :D
