Thinking of getting one as support in cases of accidents. I recall
seeing
enthusiastic reviews some time back (when I wasn't thinking of
getting
one)
that was about £30.
Has anone any experience of such a cheap camera?
I got one for ~£10 that seems to do the job, but from reading
around
it
appears that the insurance companies, police etc. aren't interested
unless it's got GPS so that your own speed, location and time can
be
verified. I therefore went for the model below, but it's a tad more
than
you may want to pay - £150ish.

Speed location and time is irrelevant if the video clearly shows the
other
person doing an illegal manoeuvre.

But may be useful if for example someone overtakes you
when you are going at the current legal maximum speed
and misjudges the speed of the oncoming traffic and
causes an accident when they have to pull into your
lane very suddenly etc.

Speeding would be irrelevant.

Not in that case where it's the speeding that caused the accident.

You sound like the ****witted police.

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

The cause of the accident in either case is misjudging how much time
there
is to overtake. That can happen below or above the speed limit.

And when you were well over the speed limit, the other
driver who decided he had plenty of time to safely
overtake is not at fault. You are at fault for going well
over the speed limit and not giving him time to
overtake safely.


Fool. If he was overtaking me while I wqs speeding, then he was speeding
even more!


But that may have been because you were stupid
enough to accelerate because he was overtaking
to stop him doing that, ****wit.


That could be seen on a dashcam without the ability to record speed.

Same with intersection accidents where someone
decides that there is plenty of time to get thru the
intersection when the other car is going at legal
speeds but not time when its exceeding the speed
limit substantially.


If you can't see what speed someone is doing by looking at them, you
shouldn't be behind the wheel of a car.


You can't see what speed they are doing if they aren't visible.


Almost never happens.

Let's say Jim is driving West over the speed limit. Tony is driving
East
on the same road, falls asleep at the wheel, and has a head on
collision.
I suppose you'd say it was Jim's fault for speeding?

You never could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.


Stop avoiding the question.


No question was avoided.


Then answer it. Who is at fault, Jim or Tony?
