Bummer. Did he at least voluntarily leave his contact information?... or did you have to resort to the camera footage?
Didnt look like there was any damages to his car.
Nooooo, big mistake. This guy could've turned psycho & you could've ended up losing your cam & maybe a few teeth.It all seemed very amicable, although very early on I pointed to the cam in the car in the hope that he wouldn't make life difficult.
Many people might try to claim that I drove into the back of them. This cam has paid for itself many times over already and I've only had it since Christmas.
Thanks @jokiin, thanks @niko![]()
Cameras make people go psycho.Nooooo, big mistake. This guy could've turned psycho & you could've ended up losing your cam & maybe a few teeth.
I always tend to have a look & say "oh well, it'll be reet" (Good old Yorkshire saying), following up with "Our insurance will sort it all out", a quick exchange of details & take plenty of photographs.
Good to always keep the cam running if possible to record any incriminating conversations (such as "I don't have to give you my details" or "my name is Jock Mctavish & I live in the outer hebrides but I'm only here for the day".
Most can keep it together (especially if you stay calm) in the belief that they can lie their way out of a big insurance claim - especially if they can show zero marks on their car or come up with some plausible BSCameras make people go psycho.
I was reversed into in a car park this morning.
Footage clipped from a file from my SGZC12RC-V2.
sounded like metal on metal there error... and apparently the sonar system didn't work very well, as it didn't beep till you were probably only an inch or so away.
We have them here too, though with different names. Here we have the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country and Plymouth Voyager (and grand voyager - the extended length one). All basically the same van, just with badge/trim/feature differences.Chrysler Voyager (minivan to you)
Whatever the cause it's true. I have them on my vehicle and notice their reduced effectiveness in the winter with the salt and crud build up.... i remember reading something about how dirt/mud/rain/bird droppings/etc could adversely affect sonar-type distance systems because the water or thick layer of dirt absorbs the vibrations rather than letting the sensors "hear" its echoes....
Only one thing worse than that...
