Is it worth getting an in-car video camera

I don't think the maths does it any favours either.

5ms, 18ms or 500ms doesn't prove anything as it was only obtained once.
I've scored 180 in darts so why am I an engineer and not a world darts champion?

Now, if someone could get 5ms or 18ms on a regular basis (say 5 in a row), that might prove something.

To be honest, it proves first off you have fast internet and a fast ping, and then that you can focus on a single event and click your finger.
Mainly the first though, the internet speed and ping will swamp everything else.

Actually, while it's ordinarily a valid point with actual online games. This little gadget is Adobe flash, once downloaded and on your screen, it runs locally within the confines of the web browser. Bring up the screen and pull out your internet connection, it'll still work.

The only thing putting me off getting one of those cameras is the fact that I know that sooner or later I will forget to put it out of view whilst parked and some scrote will smash a window to nick it.

You need to look at what you've said again styder, if you live your motoring life the way of an online game/challenge, sooner or later you will be browm bread, you don't get 5 lives in the real world chap, grow up.

I never said I did and quite frankly I don't....... Your now making assumptions about something you don't understand, based on gossip, hearsay and media influence.
Grow up? Online gaming has reached the masses in recent years and is gradually becoming more "mainstream" (for as much as the media tries to shoot it down), but I see old stereotype's die hard

skiddlydiddly

I did a fair bit of drag racing(just a road car though) and York raceway had a season long competition to see who could get the fastest reaction time(time between lights changing and you oving the car through a beam).Anyhthing below 400ms is supposedly impossible so discounted.I got 402 ms and won overall beating real drag racers and the staff who kept trying to beat my time on a quad .
Does it mean I have superhuman reactions?Nope, it just meant i was a good guesser and jumped the lights , a bit like that reaction test thing.

Edited to add I won a WON nitrous oxide kit for doing that, which I sold and it paid for the whole season.Ace.
