Hi guys! Thought I'd share details of our ill fated desert trip where our Street Guardian dash cam saved the day. (The date on the video is wrong as I didn't set the date on the dash cam. The accident was about 2 years ago.)
I was driving with my wife in the passenger seat. This happened in the Mojave Desert in San Bernardino County, California, northeast of Edwards Air Force Base. Both vehicles were traveling under the speed limit as we approached the blind turn. The Honda was going too fast and could not get back over to his side of the road quickly enough. We were all the way against the right edge of the road at the time of impact. The other driver honestly appeared to think we were on his side of the road. But the video clearly showed that was not the case. The other vehicle, a Honda Ridgeline, was totaled. We were both stranded in the desert for several hours until we could be towed out. During that time the dash cam kept recording and overwrote the videos before and after the accident. Fortunately, the impact was detected by the Street Guardian dash cam and it locked and saved the crash file. Thank you Street Guardian! The insurance company for the driver of the Honda accepted fault for the accident and paid for the damages.
