critique. Should I have anticipated better
Random question, what camera are you using?
The quality looks very good and is that GPS location and speed in the bottom left?

Well if the link works it is this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3314157537...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This was the first time I had reason to view any video recorded, now know I need to turn off the speed recording. GPS/time is useful for evidence purposes.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
I bought a hardwire kit for about 10 quid and a piggy back fuse, ran the cabling behind the trim of the A post, pushed it behind the air bag to ensure it did not foul if it needed to go off and inside the roof lining. Oh and it needs a micro sd card.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
works ok on my PCs both in firefox and internet destroyer and the kids tablets
Maybe you need to download it and play with whatever media player you use. OK, I just dumped the file on one of my servers, it is not set up for streaming. So you need the whole file.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
Honestly?
Was that a gap you were leaving for her or just being in the way. Would you do that on a bike? Horn, but shorter. Absolutely no need for expletives - wasted anyway - and only winds you up. No biggy - heck, if she acknowledged it why even post it. I might have wondered if 'another phone user' but this time maybe not. My 2p. |

Oh, and just to say, there is NO excuse for listening to that obnoxious **** on the radio - there are other stations available for the short time R2 transmissions are interrupted.

Re: critique. Should I have anticipated better
My first reaction when I opened the video was "what on earth are you doing sat there", but then when you started moving I realised you were in a car, not on a bike!
As has been said, good practice both in a car or on a bike to try and avoid "loitering" on someones shoulder where they might just miss you, but also a clue that something might happen was the roundabout direction sign. If they don't know where they are going (and sometimes even if they do) drivers tend to react to such things so just a tip to be extra vigilant when such signs come into sight. Otherwise no big deal, an easy mistake for her to make and certainly not worth getting all hot under the collar about. |
