It's simple..if you ever get stopped for any reason, just pop the card out for piece of mind. Only takes 1 second.

or pop in bum? Joking aside it's not a block of cocain. Just keep it hidden. Only if you have been a naughty boy though, if not then no need.

Blackvue DR-650 front and rear in both cars.

Helped catch a hit and run - driver of the A4 in this clip (as well as the police) were most appreciative of the footage:

Does this stay on all day or was it activated by motion? Thanks

It's on when the engine is running, and also when it detects motion when parked up ("parking mode").

It has a power saver accessory fitted (also sold by blackvue) which stops parking mode coming on once the battery voltage has dropped below a predefined threshold, so that it doesn't kill the battery. If the car is on the drive, that means parking mode will work for about a day and a half after turning ignition off, or about a day when on my road (gets triggered more).

It's also wifi enabled, so you can connect to it and check footage on an app on your phone.

Here's another vid where I used the dashcam, I prefer this one to the hit and run!

There's asshole drivers everywhere. Yesterday i got cut up in traffic by a van racing a bmw e46. Punk bitch nearly wiped me and my family out. I was sitting in first lane on the a406 driving at the limit. Wish i had my dashcam on!!

If anyone is after one I got a Facebook ad earlier, www.idiotukdriversexposed.com with a 25% discount code of idiotuk25 and free delivery. Decent discount, I ordered a simple £50 one and it came out at £37.50.

God, that makes it sound like I've just joined the forum to post that. Not affiliated in any way, I promise!
