Dashcam's....

kebo · Feb 13, 2016

who has one? I got an iTrue X3 dashcam about 2 months ago and really like it. I don't think I will ever be driving without one again. No, I haven't really "needed" it since I got it, but I have captured a couple of interesting moments with it. Once while driving home from work I had a guy pass me and two other vehicles (that were in front of me) all three at the same time. When he finally passed that lead car, there was an oncoming car in the opposite lane that both it, and the lead car, had to slow down and get over to let this idiot back in line. I am sure that eventually I will capture more interesting moments like that, but hopefully not because of me being in an accident!

I got a cheap one, but it never worked right. Want a better one at some point. I always see weird stuff

It's something I have thought about... don't know anyone local with one.

See a lot of crazy things on city streets... side shows are the worst... never know where the incoming with strike.

When I encounter drivers like that and the ones who ride my bumper, I tell myself they are trying to make it to the restroom. It makes them easier to take.

I bought a Swann SWADS-150 DCM. B&H Photo
Nice little camera and fairly simple to operate. Wife saw it in action and liked it, so I got another for her car. It's a discontinued model now but you can still find them for sale in many places..
I've captured a couple of close calls of people pulling in front of me and deer crossing in front of me. I also take it to my part time mail truck job so that I could show the boss what happened if there were ever an incident.

I have had cheapy genric in my semi for over 4 years now . Bailed me out on a accident in a construction zone 3 years ago . Lady said I hit here , ( 1 of 2 female CHP officers believed her story ) . Evidence on my bumper and ladies right rear of car suggested otherwise , ( Which other female CHP officer and Male officer believed my story ) . Pulled SD card , plug it into my laptop and let all 3 officers watch . Lady never got to see it , But the look on that 1 CHP officer's face , YEP , It was Priceless !! :thumbsup:
