I did zoom into my video for a better picture. So this person turns right into oncoming traffic and almost collides head-on with the car in front of me and then cuts off the cars as they get into their lane. I see that they are trying to make a left turn so I flash them to go because I did not want to be near them after seeing that chaos. They even screw that up and try to turn into a one way road and then proceed to almost reverse into several cars. What even ?

Driving back home the other day and this happens in front of me - not sure which one was dumber.

That’s a sidewalk from a highway.

I literally got my car detailed YESTERDAY and I only went to three places; my parking lot after I collected the car, my church today, then walmart today.

I walked past my car from behind twice and never noticed this at my parking lot or church (knowing that I showed someone the car after and was talking about some spots that I felt could have been done better).

Yet after stopping at Walmart and B&BW (same parking lot), that’s when I noticed the scrape. The detailers photo and video also doesn’t show this on there.

Now I have to get a camera that watches my car 24/7. And I’m going to ask Walmart for the video as well 🙄 This is what CGPT suggested:

1. Vantrue E360 Plus
2. BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 5
3. Vantrue E360-compatible 3-wire ACC hardwire kit
4. High-endurance microSD card of the appropriate capacity

I’m not mad but annoyed because I JUST got this detailed to start “girlying” up my car since this is my first car since I started driving this year and now this ugly scratch.

Does the suggestion CGPT gave, sensible? The powercell is so it’s not dependent on the battery after shut off.

Edit: Car is a 2012 Toyota Rav4 Limited

Curious what people here prefer for the front dashcam angle. I see a lot of accident videos here with very different camera angles. Do you keep a bit of the hood visible, or aim it higher so there’s little to none?

I’m using a Viofo A229 Pro and trying to find the best position. Mainly wondering what has worked best for others in real use.

Sorry if this is a basic question, I’m pretty new to dashcams.

Title says it. My gifted dashcam will be 10 years old soon, and I'm wondering if it's time to upgrade to better quality or just keep it as it's tried and true.

I did get a Vantrue onboard N4 since I had a good deal with Best Buy but due to the frits on my windshield I had to have it sit lower than I'd like making it an eyesore and just in the way. I didn't even finish setting it up once I saw how low I'd have to have it, I just took it down and plan on returning it.

But now I'm wondering if should I try a different brand or just stick with my current Garmin? I like that it's so small and I have it installed behind my rear view mirror so you can even tell it's there! So if I do need to upgrade what compact brands do you recommend?
