@Dezzer-D They are great cameras but I get dab interference with it due to rear camera. I've fitted ferrites and it's helped a bit. Only grip I can think of? My one is hard wired in by @pobmk4 and it's a nice and tidy setup.

The DAB interference is putting me off slightly as it'll be going in a MK 7 Golf. Had read some people's posts about ferrite cables fixing it but sounds like it doesn't? I quite like the idea of parking mode

The ferrites defo help but still get interference.
If I was going to get it again I'd just get front facing one and no rear. Darren91 has that in his A4 and no interference at all.

Still bound to be some broken ribs there ! He didnt jump to the other side of the bus.

Gotta wonder how the hell anyone would end up doing that though.

You'd think police would have backed off from a chase in what is clearly a well built up area and the speed at which the Rav4 was driving ?

Many have been killed in scenarios like that

i think the silver car crashing is a bigger problem than some silly R driver who overtook and drove on the wrong side, stupid i know (both) but no one swirved or hit the R driver and they pretty much ****ed up Big Style on cam.
i'm guilty of a lot worse, i raise my hands.

well, its difficult to know for sure from a few short videos, but I disagree. The silver car perhaps simply had a one-off f*ckup, maybe mis judged the turn (perhaps first time on the road) or perhaps the road was slippery for other reasons, or maybe they stabbed the brakes a bit too hard when they saw the lorry. The R driver in the other video is in an entirely different league of dangerous. not only went well outside their speed limit but they literally came within inches of a high speed and almost certainly fatal head on collision on a busy road and the brow of the hill, likely would have led to a multi-car accident. The best bit, not deterred, they keep on gong attempting to continue to make the pass. Every decision made by the R driver is contrary to what 99.9% of the driving public would do. i can't decide whether its sheer arrogance and purposeful disregard for road safety or literally someone who's complete and utter pig-sh*t thick. That driver will be doing stuff like this on a regular basis unless theyre stopped.
