Ever lose a few hours watching those dash cam videos on YouTube?

I saw a clip from literally about a 5 minute walk from my house the other day.

And then today I noticed this one...


I wonder :D

    I watch them all the time, and in a lot of cases a bit of forward planning and observation would avoid a lot of accidents/near misses,

    I admit I am a fan, but I've stopped watching any clips filmed in the dark - it's just too difficult to see anything!


    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
  • For those who haven't twigged why I actually did make this thread and want to just discuss dash cam shenanigans ....

    As a bit of a follow on post from tacpot12 ... how annoying is it when they're recording the clip being played back on their laptop? Just edit the bloody thing properly.
    And the amount of people who see a hazard and floor it in a straight line right towards the hazard before blaming Mr. Christ.

    I don't have a dashcam. And I've never had a silver car.

    Honest.

    I never said you do ;)

    I just call it as i see it. I note an AndrianC on a MSE forum who frequents the motoring section so i figure has an interest in motors/driving.
    And then one morning i find an interesting clip where you spaced the C :D

    Only messing ;)

    I don't bother. I get paid to drive 2000 miles a week so get to see plenty as I go about this nation of ours so why would I do it in my own time?
