My bad then. Just by the way you were cruising along I assumed you were familiar with that road. That being said I'm not sure I'd have been going that fast into that blind narrow corner/crest. Jeez, I never thought I'd be saying that!

Re: GPS speed indication. I would go by the speed displayed in the video. RV doesn't show it correctly on it's "speedo". Most of mine fluctuate by +/-10kph or more. The pulling out I'd have to let pass through to the keeper. I'm sure he had checked that it was clear and was watching the other...

Well there sure is conflicting info here. Whilst what you say, that this road rule has been repealed :- http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/nsw/repealed_reg/arr210/s143.html Yet there is still this:- http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/safety-rules/road-rules/large-vehicles.html where they make the...

Yes, I'd consider that failing to give way. I don't mind the immediate turning into the space outside of the lane, but there was no effort to merge without affecting other drivers. That's not on.

Actually, technically what you and the car ahead of you did is an infringe-able offense. Read the sign on the back of the truck, and it was indicting to turn. As a truck driver I would have very much appreciated having a vehicle stop behind me to block the lane needed for the truck to turn in...

So would you have done the same if the truck was the first in line at the lights?

Despite the size of car and load and the condition of it's tyres, it was still able to react much quicker than the driver could cope with. I still say tyres were not a contributing factor. Had the tyres been as bad as you're suggesting the car would not have veered off into the dividing wall so...

The road was dry. Bald tyres would have made very little difference if any. Inflation pressures maybe..... Clearly the over-corrections of the driver resulted in a spin and loss of control. But also note this is yet another case where failing to keep left unless overtaking has created a...

Yep, those trucks are pretty standard fare here in Australia. For them it is simply to try and get the exhaust up high so that it doesn't bother other motorists and avoid a big black smudge on their loads. Although the newest trucks complying with the latest emissions standards simply don't have...

Just reminds you how things can turn ugly quickly. Nice how the other car drivers just continue on. No hurry to see if the occupants of the overturned car need help..... Good work on your behalf though.

Done.

I've had exactly the same issue as well. I pointed it out some time ago. Thread here:- https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/speed-fluctuating-in-registrator-viewer.5779/ There has been an update to RV since but it didn't fix this issue. The Panorama dashcam records just fine, smooth video and...

Nice driving by both you and the Winnebago driver.

"A preventable accident"? Well in theory all "accidents" are preventable if all road users make an effort to. But when one driver makes a deliberate and unnecessary action against another that is obviously an unsafe, well, that is clearly the person in the wrong and laws are there to deal them...

Motorists, ask yourself why would you tailgate a cyclist closer than any other vehicle? Think about the consequences. You only have to touch that bicycle and they ARE going to come crashing down and you WILL run over the top of them with a very high probability of very serious injury or DEATH...

In my home state of Queensland we only have one of these. It's on the Bruce Hwy north of Brisbane. It's quite a long stretch of open country dual-carriageway. Nice bit of road where you could comfortably do a good speed. There had been a few cars leaving the road along here due to fatigue being...

Too true! I don't have a problem with them raising some revenue from drivers. So long as it is drivers that are doing genuinely dangerous things. By that just about every other road rule should be enforced long before low range "speeding". But of course the occurrence of "speeding" is far more...

The anti-speeding campaigns here over time have actually caused driving standards to deteriorate. Here's a clip from one of the best bits of road in the state (only 100kmh limit):- There's a highway patrol car leading that line of tailgating traffic in the centre lane. So they would rather...

No one will argue with the physics Nigel. But you missed the point. You would only be doing the faster speeds when it is safe to do so. That is a point that is completely and deliberately overlooked by all the "road safety" campaigns. It's part of the dumbing down of the driving public we're...

Trouble is each successive government, from both sides of politics, continue to screw motorists harder. They depend and budget on the revenue raised. It's easy money after all. I had hoped it would have improved with the change to a liberal government here, but it has only gotten worse. In fact...
