Lane was blocked off due to someone spinning in the snow and hitting the barrier.At least that's what it looked like to me when I passed by the wreckage.Didn't move too badly otherwise.Going towards Canterbury at that time of the morning on the other hand...

Always see these two on the North Circ near Wembley. Think they've not moved in years. A two door XR4i and a Pegeot GTi? Took this morning on my way to a job.

You telling me I can sell my historic relic to a museum smile

That's a cab camera that records accidents/incidents and can either put you out of the frame or get you bang to rights.

I'm impressed that it still works, or are you one of those people who have to hang out of the window and wave it about half of the time hehe

So is that camera facing out of the screen or pointing at you? Fines for flicking boogers around the cab?

Coming back to the right side of the Thames tonight, I spotted a Vauxhall Victor in the other lane and awaited my chance of a snap. When stopped I got a shot of the Victor and didn't realise there was a 1600E cortina alongside it. A coincidence shot?

Booger me ! I was about 50mtrs behind you !

It can see inside and outside, front and passenger side.

We had a driver who was hit on the passenger side from a car merging at speed from the M11 on to the M25 clockwise.

At the time the driver was shaken up as he saw the car spin out in front of him, probably not as shaken as the driver and passenger of the car lol.

The driver thought about giving up as he doubted his own driving skills. When the playback was reviewed at a later date it was clear to see the driver had checked his mirrors multiple times and had done everything right and it showed the car coming from nowhere, at speed, from the slip road and hard shoulder to impacting the cab.

The driver was happy afterwards he'd done all he could, as was the insurance Co and the claim went against the car driver.
