should i get a dashcam?
>>107977140Yes with both front and rear cover. Saved my ass when some old fart decided to back into me at mach 10 in a parking lot. He immediately put it in drive again and then started screaming how I hit him (I was standing still) and the cop took his side until I said I had video evidence and that saved my ass.
>>107977140You have to ask?
>>107977140based on this clip? no.never drive faster than you can see.cars parked either side, narrow street single lane, obscured sidewalk.driver was being stupid.also, on a single lane you should be going half the 'appropriate' speed to account for something coming towards youcollisions can always be avoided by driving properly.
>>107977140Yes, make sure you have it running and are easily able to get videos off it. I was in a crash once where the video conveniently didn't save when I was trying to transfer it to my computer.
>>107977140You only get a dashcam to protect yourself from insurance fraud jeets.
>>107977140Why was his first instinct to just hit the car?
>>107977140I refuse to drive without one. Too many idiots on the road.
>insurance fraudsters>old faggots trying to shift the blame>oblivious pedestrians>drunk drivers >cyclistsNever had any issues with any of these aside from slow/distracted drivers, but I'd just prefer not to drive desu.
>>107977210I don't live in the third world
>>107977292they were given planes sadly
>>107977140yeah 100%ive had one for years, get a good one, like a proper Garmin, the cheap aliexpress shit sucksits gotten me out of 4 fraudulent tickets, its paid for itself twice overnot to mention all the fun stuff ive recorded on it over the years, and the peace of mind knowing if some crazy shit goes down ive got video backing me up in court
>>107977140Yes anon. My cams have saved me from three tickets and from taking the blame for a pretty serious accident where it looked like I had caused it but didn't.
>>107977179Idk if the video is sped up or not but I agree that it seems like he was driving a bit too fast for the street conditions. Feels like he was going no less than 40 kph, probably a bit more. I'd never go more than 30 kph there
yesthere are far too many retards on the road now, and driving exam won't ever get more comprehensive since the state wants said retards in debt ASAP
i've bought one of these as a gift before and it was complete garbage. which brand or model can capture me running over school children in as close to 4k as possible?
>>107977140as others have (correctly) noted, the cam is not doing him many favors here. You do not whore down resedential back streets with cars parked either side at this speed and expect it to end well. Nor expect kids in same streets to always be 100% aware of their surroundings. He was lucky the car was the only thing pops took a swipe at here.
>>107977140>intentionally having surveillance cameras in your cardashcam users are literal cucks.
>>107977824>>107977179Looks like Australia where the speed limit in residential streets like that is 50km/h.Kids should stay out of the street or they'll learn a valuable lesson.>>107978394Viofo or Blackvue are the cheapest dashcam groups in Aus recommend.
>>107977140>Oogabooga the car first, check on your child secondPeople should be euthanized for this kind of behavior desu, no different from a pitbull
There is basically no downside to a dashcam assuming you can afford one and not a huge retard driving to where it's a self-report. Not sure if they still do it, haven't had to drive since covid, but my insurance would offer discounts for having one pretty sure the big names all offer a discount for having an operational dashcam these days.
>>107978511>>intentionally having surveillance cameras in your carI thought they just recorded to an SD card without phoning home
>>107977140Yes, dashcam is great because you catch all kinds of weird stuff on camera. It's super misleading though because the wide angle makes everything look further apart than it really is, and there's no accurate sense of speed. I've had cunts nearly hit my front, but the cam footage just isn't that dramatic.Buy a good one for $100-$200, the cheapo ones stink. Driver in OP is a cunt and 100% responsible for hitting the girl btw. Don't speed through neighborhoods. Dad was based for punching the car.
>"muffuga I woulda got out dat car gnomesaiayn">"eyy yo who da -">*BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*Then I get a medal from the local town for taking out a drug dealer speeding under the influence.
>>107978511>palantir controlled AI cameras in every street and intersectionThats fine, listen to orders and carry your ID at all times and you won't get hurt by ICE!>having a locally controlled camera inside your car to protect yourself from frauds on the roadThis is libcuck bullshit for trannies!I wonder who's behind all these posts...
>>107977140guaranteed that guy was way above the speed limit for that tiny street
>>107977140If you've never had an accident, you will the second you buy and install it in your car.
>/g/ is full of dashcam shills that can't driveNot surprised to be honest>buy muh insuranceImagine paying for insurance>but think of the boomers that might try to hit you then blame youI don't park near them and I own a gun. So they won't try anything.>but what if you run over a childKeep going. Their parents should have taught them not to play in the streett. licensed race car driver

>>107978781I am an Open Wheel Modified and IMSA champion. You can suck my cock.
>>107977140If you weren't so shitty at driving you wouldn't need a dashcam
>>107978753you lost
>>107978792can I... really? time and place? :3
>>107978578>i should have priority in a residential area over the residents who live in the area. my commute is more important than a child's life.and then y'all have the nerve to get mad when they reduce speed limits and put in traffic mitigation.
>>107978958The only reason you'd be commuting through a residential area is because you're a resident of that area. Dumb take.I do support 30km/h speed limits in residential areas though.
>>107978792what you are is a waste of oxygen
>>107978941Dashcams aren't about protecting you from yourself, they are from protecting you against the idiots doing fraud or people complaining it was actually your fault. You have no idea how fucking dumb some karens can be and will throw their cars in reverse for no reason slam back and then go nuh uh you hit me!
>>107978578If the legal speed limit in that street was 100 kph, would you ride there at this speed?Common sense comes before legal speed limits. At least in that particular section of that street, at the point in time and conditions where the footage was taken (a narrow ass street packed with parked vehicles on both sides and barely enough width for a bus or large truck to pass through), 50 kph would be unreasonably high and reckless even if it's the legal speed limit.
>>107977179>never drive faster than you can see.My local highway has onramps where you cant see the traffic until you go up the ramp because there is a concrete barrier blocking the view. its understood here that you speed up to 65mph to merge into the traffic. if someone stops at the onramp to "see" then they are getting rear ended at 65mph and will probably be found at fault for driving like a fuckass.
>>107978994Too bad that's not how cities are built sadly.Either way the dad was a stupid fuck and completely at fault for letting his kid run out into the street, residential area or not, roads primary usage is for transportation and secondary for play.Hell I remember kids getting yelled at for just walking out to an empty street simply for not checking their surroundings
>>107979463but that's the complete opposite of a residential area roadgetting onto a highway with a significantly lower speed than the cars already on it is unsafe driving
>>107977140The fuck did the dad think hed accomplish? "Yeah imma hit this car that will show him!" He even went out of his way to the car instead of just going straight to his daughter what the fuck is this clip
>>107979551i was croticizing the blanket rule of "dont drive faster than you can see"i agree to slow down in residential areas.Do not slow down on the highway in my city, you will get killed
>>107979580white men are desperate for any socially acceptable way to express rage. thats why they go so hard on pedos
>>107979606generally the rule still holds thoughif you can't see onto the highway that you're merging onto then that's bad design and it never should've been built that way
>>107978942and you won what, exactly?
>>107977259autism
>>107977140Yes, absolutely. And if they for some reason are illegal in your jurisdiction consider doing it anyway as long as they are not super illegal.>>107977259adrenaline and panic.>>107978753>I wonder who's behind all these posts...red light runners
>>107977158the eternal boomer...
>>107977140But we all agree that the driver was in the wrong, right?
>>107977179You are getting fooled by the fisheye lens on the camera. Thats slow af.
>>107977140Dashcam is a $10 investment that will save your life and save you tens of thousands in fraud claims from fraudsters and insurance companies who dont want to pay or insurance companies of others who want to blame you for their accident.People will lie all the time, so its a must have
>>107980840If it was "slow af" then the car would have been able to stop in time. Anything that is too fast to stop for a child, in a residential street that clearly has a high risk of exactly this thing happening, is too fast to be legal or moral.
100% get a dashcam. >>107978434Did you actually do the stopping distance calculations? The time between the girl jumping out and stopping is less than a second , and you can measure the distance travelled while braking by the cars on the side. That guy was doing 20mph or less.
>>107980861Sadly if you get into a crash with a white woman's car, she'll just claim your footage is AI and they'll accuse you of sexual harassment.I'm still on the hook for $57k because of that exact scenario. My insurance didn't want to help me because of the harassment claims.It fucking sucks here in libuckfornia
>>107980840do you drive?its not breakneck, but its still too fast for those conditions, with nowhere to swerve out the way. You gotta figure on a kid jumping out or some idiot throwing open a door on you.
>>107978394When it comes to dashcams, don't buy cheap. Viofo dashcams are good and reasonably priced. But you want something high definitino enough to use, reliable, and something that doesn't need a subscription or some other garbage. If you decide to get a dashcam you need it to fucking work. The money it'll save you in an insurance dispute is going to be WAY worth it when you use it. It's not even about 'just be a good driver' - Some dipshit is going to flat out just hit you and then claim it was your fault.
>>107980861Dashcam is not a $10 investment. If you spend $10 on a dashcam prepare to spend $57k on some bullshit because your dashcam is shit. Aim to spend at least $150, and ideally get front and back cameras.
>>107981059$57k is enough to start getting a lawyer to fight the bullshit, anon. Don't roll over and take it. If you lose the court case, well sometimes people who win court cases get really unlucky afterwards.
>>107981054>That guy was doing 20mph or less.thats not and never '20 mph' anon, with all due.
>>107977140No, you should get a toilet cam and install it in a preschool.
>>107981123https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW_fyuybDYwGo ahead. Tell me that the bottom one isn't 20mph.
>>107981137I dont think that video is really demonstrating what you think its demonstrating anon. Isn't AI of use for this shit - must be useful for something. Someone give it OP vid and ask it to judge the speed. But its not 20 mph.
>>107981178Nta, you're fucking retarded. If you bump into a child at more than 20 mph you get pasta. He was at 15 mph max. Get your (You) and fuck off
>>107981279you are talking about two different things you fucking womble - the speed travelled at *before* the kid appeared, and the speed after braking was applied. And the former > 20 mph.
>>107978941>If you weren't so shitty at driving you wouldn't need a dashcamRetard. It's to keep you safe against other drivers who WILL blame you for their actions.

>>107977179>never drive faster than you can seegood advice but people need to fucking look more
>>107977140He shouldn't have been driving that fast.
>>107977179He was going slow enough fuck off .You will hit a running child no matter what speed you have in those conditions.He literally went 5 feet and stopped.
>>107977259He thinks the car was in the wrong and that he should be allowed to let his child run in the street unsupervised
>>107977824The speed limit was 40 kph; he was doing ~35-38 kph.He was ruled fully not at fault due to the dash cam. The dad and neighbor originally called the police on him to get him arrested, and he would've been charged had he not had his dash cam recording that exonerated him.
>>107977179this, the driver was going at least twice as fast as he shouldve been driving nor did she apply an emergency braking maneuver
>>107983755see >>107983506He was fully exonerated by the police/courts.
>>107983816legal positivism has nothing to do with whats right and justof course he walks in a common law shitholefacts>speed limit of 40 km/h for such a street is about 25 km/h too high>regardless of the legal limit, a responsible driver wouldve driven slower regardless >irregardless of either, a responsible driver wouldve engaged an emergency braking maneuver, since conditions did not prohibit suchtry this shit anywhere in continental europe and you would lose your driving licence for a very long timethe kid couldve gotten crushed and youd still clap and applaud the cunt just because he kept to >muh speed limit
>>107977140The driver should've ran the dad over. He struck the car with an aggressive action and turned it into a self-defense situation for the driver. The devastation would be a tragedy, but it would 100% be the right thing to do.
>>107983916Lmao you're full of shit, you can find instances of this happening in europe with the driver found not at fault.Speed limits exist for a reason, if you're obeying the speed limit in bright daylight normal road conditions, the blame isn't on you unless you could visibly see the child and simply refused to respond.But in this instance the MOMENT the child is visible and the guy is throwing on the brakes. It's a textbook, near-perfect example of attentive driving.
where is the autist that will calculate his speed based on the length of the type of cars on the side of the road and his time passing them?regardless >just go speed limit regardless of the environment bro, they're perfectdidnt know there were this many NIGGERS on this board
>>107984002it's a residential street that has cars parked along it EVERY SINGLE DAY, the posted speedlimit ASSUMES cars are parked along the street.If THAT speedlimit isn't safe, FUCKING CHANGE IT.You don't get to sit on your high horse pretending the speed limit is ACTUALLY lower if there are cars around on a street that ALWAYS FUCKING HAS CARS.God damn you cunts need to be killed.
>>107977179>it's the driver's fault a kid ran into the street without looking and not the bald ragebaby father's for being a shit parentretard
>>107977259Anger at seeing his kid hurt. It's a pretty normal response to something like that.After he calmed he may or may not have been able to accept he should have told his kid not to run and the driver wasn't at fault, but his headspace wasn't fit for that at the time. It's understandable.
>>107984068He and the neighbor called the cops and tried to get the driver arrested.
>>107984029>broooo high speed limits are just too good bro, I cant not drive like a retard. cant you see I have to drive this fast, due to all the other cars on the road pushing me?god am I glad I dont live in niggercunt
>>107977179It's quite clear who was in the right and who was in the wrong. Was the driver doing something they shouldn't have been. No. Because if they were, they would have been charged.
>>107977259to draw attention away from the fact that he was totally ignoring his own kid while next to the road. Look how long it took him to come running - he probably didn't even see it happen and only heard the noise.
>>107984125>speed limits mean nothingNeat, i'll just drive as fast as I want then.Since they clearly have no actual meaning if i'm SUPPOSED to ignore them on residential streets 99% of the time.
>>107984100Yes, and? Its the correct optionAll the dashcam is showing is that he did not run her over."Called the caps" also means one thing:That is also a license confiscation in a lot of countries for fleeing the scene. You are not legally allowed to drive away from accidents involved potentially injured people, without practicing due caution. US law might be hideously lax. >>107980861$100-200, not $10.
>>107984265>Called the capsWhy are you misquoting him?>>107984100>called the cops
>>107984285?Its the exact right person to quote anon. Calling the cops in this case serves a purpose.In US society it might be related to insurance damage. In a more civil society its to ensure the steps are taken to get the drivers license confiscated for fleeing the scene.
>>107977140>hits child with car>beats up fatherweird first impulse, but not my problem
>>107984186do you realise that the speed limit is the MAXIMUM allowed speed right? the upper limit, also known as "fast". nobody is forcing you to drive fast in a tiny fucking residental street, you absolute nigger. god am I glad retarded infrastructure doesnt even exist where I live
>>107984419So you admit when driving on residential neighborhoods with posted speed limits above what you personally feel is comfortable, you ignore them 99% of the time.Good to know.
>>107983916The parent / guardian is at fault for not properly taking care of the child, it's basically a sort of negligence. There is no law or court in the world that can 100% save your kid if you quite literally allow them to run into traffic.
>>107977179but saar sign says 50 saar you complicate saar I do not redeem you saar
>>107983955A guy ran over a child, the father went there and killed him with a stone to the head. Fuck the driver and his car.
>>107984100OK. All I'm saying with my post is that certain situation, like your child being injured (no matter whose fault it is) can make you unable to assess a situation properly, and cause you to react quickly in ways that aren't rational, like punching a car.Because of that, once the situation has passed, the person may or may not change where they assign blame, and from your post it sounds like this time we got "may not", unless he changed his opinion later, after he saw the dashcam. There is also the possibility he didn't see the whole situation very clearly. If he had seen the car coming and knew it was going fairly slowly, he would have called out to his child to stop in the first place, so we know he's missing some information we have too when assigning blame.
>>107981059>Sadly if you get into a crash with a white woman's car, she'll just claim your footage is AI and they'll accuse you of sexual harassment.>I'm still on the hook for $57k because of that exact scenario. My insurance didn't want to help me because of the harassment claims.This seems highly unlikely and given that you're a 4chan technology poster, it's more likely you were sexually harassing her and trying to pass AI off as real footage.
>>107977140the fact anyone drives without one is crazy. your entire life can be ruined in a he-said-she-said where you didnt do anything wrong. the medical cost on a basic insurance plan is only like 250 or 500k. if its a serious accident it will easily exceed that. people commit fraud all the time.its a necessary thing to have in a country with rapidly changing demographics.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvklFa7gdYA
>>107977140I prefer he-said, she-said to be honest. It presents a challenge that I'm good at resolving.
omg did she died
>>107984002>where is the autist that will calculate his speed based on the length of the type of cars on the side of the road and his time passing them?The video plays at 25fps and it takes 11 frames to move past a car.If we assume the car is about 14 feet long so it moves 14 feet in 11/25 seconds which comes out to about 22mph.
>>107983916>>107983755>>107977179People like this have a fucked up ego problem accepting that they are not a god. You can do everything right and horrible things will still happen anyways. If they were in the military, they will end up with PTSD 100% of the time.
>>107977140to be fair he is driving a tad to fast in a residential road like thatthe dad is still a faggot though
If you're going to get a dash cam, keep in mind it can be used against you. You want a dash cam that only records ~3-5 minutes of footage and overwrites the old footage with new footage so if something that looks bad for you happens you can just leave it running and "delete" the footage (legally) but if something good happens for you then you turn off the camera to save the footage from being overwritten.
>>107984572Laws were made in consideration of good sense and reason. They're the hard line of what's considered reasonable beyond which it may be morally, reasonably or ethically beyond what is considered right and proper. There are many instances of a law stating something as "within" a time frame or before such and such. For speed limits in particular it is expected that drivers exercise good judgement such as slowing their speed for changing road conditions and any reasonable person would consider someone negligent for say, continuing at 70mph along on interstate obscured by smoke from a forest fire. There are often references to the "spirit" and intention of a law which are not allowances to ignore good sense and reason.
>>107986377uhhhm no sweaty, i actually have anti social personality disorder so i dont feel anything
>>107977140Dashcam would not save the driver from the fact it is because of his error that the girl was hurt, blatantly speeding in a residential area with narrow streets like that.>>107977259Because he is obviously pissed his child was just severely injured by a reckless speedster? Replies to this post are horrendous.
>>107986522This. This is why I always drive very slow on roads like that.
>>107986722he's going maybe 30km/h? I've seen streets like that marked for 40, 50km/h. Maybe he was going 40 in a 30, at most. He was going slow enough, and stopped fast enough, that the girl probably has light bruising at worst. That is the best possible outcome for your daughter jumping directly in front of a car. That retard should have been thanking the driver shortly after making sure his daughter was alright.

>>107986962>if so he wouldn't have hit hershe jumped in front of the car dumb nigger. im being trolled i guess
>>107986990if you don't believe me go drive down a single lane street at whatever 18mph where both sidewalks are completely obscured on a driving test, see if you pass.you don't even have to hit a kid.try it, report back.you are not being trolled. you have to drive at a speed where you can respond to hazards even ones which develop quickly. this is the most fundamental concept in safe driving, i am honestly sorry that you don't understand it.
>>107987040if i go the speed limit i am guaranteed to pass. you are a dumb nigger.
