Dashboard cams

Post by snipez999 » Sun Mar 10, 2013 5:43 pm

Pick up howlers like this.  Wet motorway, straight across 2 lanes and hatchmarks.  What is hard to make out unless you look carefully is the fact that my ABS is pumping its little heart out whilst I try to get over as much as possible with a van next to me to deal with as well.

Close one indeed.  However had the car realised just where you were and hesitated he would have probably ended up hitting the barrier.  (Now that would have been a good video)  >:D

I just watched it on my iPhone 5.  Go to the link provided through the board then use the full website link (dodging all the click through ad buttons on the way!) on the photobucket mobile site and it's accessible there.

I just watched it on iphone, at home so its connected to broadband though in case that made a difference. Seems the mic on your camera is functioning ok as well!

I think the guy was in a convoy with the car on front of me who had also made a late dive to that junction.

Yes, though I edited down the video as the air went slightly bluer about 100 yards further down the road........

Acceleration on to the slip road didn't look very quick either, sure all those turbos are working  :pokey: thought the :rant: was quite tame though  ;)

Speed limit 70 I was doing 65. Plus it looks a lot slower than it was. From my perspective I slammed on the anchors and slewed all over the shop lol
