    Default Dash cams - anybody got one?

    I figure they'll be in all cars before long (like Russia). I ordered one of the cheap Chinese cams on Amazon (G1W-C). Just want to laugh again at all the stupid crap I see on the road every day - plus I won't have to pull out my phone when a Camari Safari-worthy situation arises.

    I'm more concerned with the Obama gas station at 6:57 than that dumbass. Hell in three or four of those clips he's probably in somebody else's bad driving video.

    Got one for Christmas last year. I put it in my commuter car. I figure if nothing else, it could prove fault in an accident or catch a tag number on a hit and run or something.

    Not my video in the original post, just thought it was funny.

    And I highly recommend the G1WC camera (at least so far) if you want a cheap dash cam. Just throw in a micro 32GB SD card, plug it into a cigarette lighter outlet (preferably one that turns off when you turn off the car) and it records automatically. Footage is pretty good, day and night.

    wish I had one on 85 this morning...

    Dude is a Mazda all of the sudden just cranked the wheel for no apparent reason. They did a great job recovering (never hit the brakes) and ended up not hitting anything. That car slid 90 degrees in both directions going about 60.. He only used up 2 lanes.

    I was on the phone and told them folks 'hold on, I'm watching a wreck happen'.

    Dude got straightened out then got to the E-lane pretty quick and stopped.

    10 miles down the hi-way, he passes us hauling ass. Slow learner I guess.

    Seems cheap enough to try. If I was close to a Northern Tool, I would pick one up. Hate paying shipping! Gonna check amazon now that I think about it. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...1821_200631821

    Our company trucks have them (semi trucks).

    The one we got faces inside the cab and outside the cam. It only records when the brakes are hit too hard, a bad bump or something in that nature.
