Dashcams and Dashcam Footage

VW Golf R Estate: DG20 HYH

Coming back from Ballymena, Carnlough Road outside Broughshane, national speed limit. Line of traffic going between 40 - 45mph due to jeep with sheep trailer and a Mini with R plate in front of me. Golf R back of the line, overtook two cars to get behind me then proceeded to dangerously overtake twice; Firstly coming up to a blind right hander, and then past a pub with a blind crest to overtake the jeep with trailer and Mini.

I flashed and beeped when he overtook me as it was completely idiotic, and of course he brake checked me.

Absolute moron. If those three oncoming bikes had have been motoring on, would’ve been a different story.

report it to the police....although does look like something they'd drive

What a tool. That's one that should go to the Police.

Completely agree. Straight to the police with that footage, complete and utter tool

Wasn't even a slight flick of the lights, that was seriously aggressive driving

As said in the other thread, that is a major brake check - what if your reactions weren't as good as they were, what if the next person he does that too isn't so fortunate or has crap brakes?

100% contact PSNI and report him for dangerous driving - what an absolute nobb

I don't bother beeping at them anymore, they usually response with the fingers and a '**** Off' at you. Unfortunately people think they are more important than anyone else.

Got a new 522GW and need an SD card for it. I recall dashcams are pretty sensitive to the right card, and had forgotten what a minefield it is when selecting a card with all the various different types.

Whats the best to stick with?

 

[Eddies]

I've one that nextbase supply in for about 3/4 years. Never had any problems. Check their site but I've had no issues with them. Others could probably advise on a better brand though.

I have the same dashcam and use this SD card since I got it 2 years ago

Can't go wrong with SanDisk. Never had any problems with them in any type of camera.

Just be careful where you buy them from, if online. Google how to spot the fake Sandisk card.
Card and packaging look similar but they simply don't work.

I buy my ones in tesco or Asda on the premise they shouldn't be fake.

I've bought a load of cards from ebay and Amazon, all look genuine. But some just fail

My Blackvue camera came with a card and I would guess Nextvue sell some under their name too ? You would hope that should be a reliable option of a suitable card.

 

[ace275]

There's a program called h2testw or something that I used before to verify the true capacity of cards. However I'm not sure if it can verify the speed of the card.

Personally, I use Tesco or Amazon. eBay is rife with fakes

Anyone a tried and tested method of securing the sucky cup on the dash cams to the window?

I am sick to death of mine falling off while driving and just realised my alarm was going off and low and behold the camera is hanging there which must have set of the sensor

Its the same with my wifes car too (same camera)

 

[Eddies]

3m ones they're about a tenner but I've only used 2 in nearly 5 years. Mines well up out of the sun and heat as best I can, helps I think

Something like this, I've stuck mine to the area behind the rearview so the cameras completely invisible from drivers seat

I've used the 3M pads on all my dashcams and never had one fall off. Well worth the money.

How often are you re-securing ?

Sticking them on slightly damp, I've never really had any issues over a decent period, like months easily.

Although in very hot sunshine if left they can call off.

But as others said, a good 3M sticky will stick, and be very difficult to get off.

Every day this week, given it a decent lube too - might just be gone or the fact that my car is bumpy AF

 

[Eddies]

I'll have a hunt tonight, if I can mind and try find a spare.

Wow, never had any suction cup fittings that bad.

Whether sat nav, dashcam etc. Is the screen itself clean and dry ? no strange coatings or products used on it ? ( other than wetting the area before applying the cup )

I've found a spare 3m one if you want it.

Was fine all morning this morning on the motorway, must just be the back roads over the last week or so but will see on the way home over them. Will give the windscreen a decent clean as well at the weekend, outside and in!

I've found a spare 3m one if you want it.

Thanks Eddie - where are you based?

 

[bora-gav]

Driving home from Newry today and the two cars in front in this clip had overtook me quite easily, possibly +70mph then they see the speed camera van and nearly cause an accident slamming on their brakes
Couldn't get my phone connected to dashcam so this is the best I could do

 

[saxo_man]

Sitting behind a slow moving lorry and a car for a few miles, I decided the car wasnt going to pass so went to pass them both, and the car almost pulled into the side of me. Ended up speeding up to get past and ran onto a chevron area. I have been mulling over this, I dont think it's a good example of driving from me, although the other guy shouldn’t have pulled out. I was in the other lane before he indicated.
