I watched that earlier there are some really good vids, even some prat doing 125mph on a public road, nothing like giving the prosecutor the evidence they need lol

I think they are a good idea and it'd cut down road rage if it was compulsary to have one installed.

However, as Strider knows too well - it often shows up how much of a crap driver someone is. ie look how late Strider leaves it til he slows down for the mini...

i bought one off ebay as recommended by strider and the quality of the film is great, you can use paypal but it takes about 10 days for delivery. the battery is only 100 mins but im looking at getting a 12v charger.

after watching that over and over, striders speed seems to be a bit slower than thos ahead (:T) before the mini pulls out, watch from when strider comments about the mini SURELY HE WONT it seems that he is speeding up as the cam tilts up slightly then slams down sec later with braking and things go faster to what he was doing.
all this before a 30MPH zone.

Only thing that puts me off it the company have no phone contact, are in Guernsey, and don't take paypal, just cards.

I've used 7dayshop many times, never had any problem - only thing is that it can take an extra day or two to arrive because it's coming from Guernsey.

just watched that, strider shoudl have expected the mini to pull out and he braked accordingly, i always am wary of people pulling out in front of me at junctions like that

And me no problems so far.

I become more and more convinced that some system would be a good investment, if only I can get what I want and justify the price.

I want something which can record from multiple angles, front and back, perhaps from the side and record it in decent resolution colour onto a massive hard drive with weeks or months of storage capacity. Power source is probably the problem.
