Not necessary since there's plenty of street furniture. It wouldn't be too difficult to measure the distance travelled & multiply by time taken.I never thought GPS was really necessary but after seeing this I am glad I upgraded to a camera that has one.
So now I have 2 ways of verification?Not necessary since there's plenty of street furniture. It wouldn't be too difficult to measure the distance travelled & multiply by time taken.
Just got to be careful with GPS speeds, you can't always rely on them to be accurate all the time. If I had it on a cam, I would turn it off and simply rely on distance/timeSo now I have 2 ways of verification?
Woo-hoo! ☺
Just the vary reason we've gone out and gotten dash cams.Yes, she has such good judgement. She had 'room', but also determined he was speeding? I wonder what she told the cops when they showed up?
Even if he was doubling the speed limit, she failed to yield and would be 100% at fault. Cut and dry. It his her responsibility to verify that there is no approaching traffic.
Years ago, I pulled into a parking lot one night and was hit by another driver. The other driver stumbled out his car looked at the damage to his car and told me not to worry about it {my two month still new to me car was damaged as well}. He got back in his car and drove off. I called 911, I gave them his description, make, model, color and license plate of the car with the direction he left in. The 911 operator asked me off this was an emergency.This exactly. Ages ago a crazy woman with her kid in the car made a right and crossed 3 more lanes to hit me almost head on as I was stopping for the sign. The skidmarks I left trying to stop so she'd clear me with her too-wide turn proved I had never left my lane. She claimed I had been flying (I hadn't) then the Cop told her that I couldn't have been flying or I would have lost control and left my lane, and that since she had entered my lane across several others
if anyone had been flying it was her, and that the only thing that mattered was that I didn't do anything wrong but she did, so it was her fault completely and he wasn't hearing anything more from her. "Just hush and let me write the ticket" was how he ended his spiel. It was all I could do to not laugh at her getting her come-uppance.
