The "Sh*t Driving Caught On Dashcam" Thread

[Funk]

I thought it might be an idea to create a new topic off the back of the Dash Cam thread. We're talking techs and specs but getting more and more people posting their videos of poor driving they've caught on camera.

It's not really what that thread is for, nor is it "YouTube thread-worthy" so post your clips and comments about poor driving here.

Then we can all argue about how petty it is, how the poster themselves never breaks the law etc with the odd gasp of incredulity at one or two genuinely dangerous clips and keep the dashcam thread on-topic about actual dashcams.

[Funk]

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. It's for people to post up clips from their own dashcams that they want to share rather than cluttering up the dashcam thread with them.

This should be the most thrilling thread ever.

***pssst*** Why d'you think we want it all out of the dashcam thread...?

[anonymous-user]

I guess most paranoid dash cam owners wouldn't post their own bad driving, as GCHQ could analyse the data & they would get points

But seriously, this thread won't end well. It's a recipe for disaster and will turn into a full on bhfest within a couple of pages.

As long as it keeps that out of the dashcam thread I'm happy with that. That thread should be about resolutions, night-time performance and viewing angles - not lengthy discussion about minor motoring infractions.

So, all that's best about PH then?

Why not just stick them in the youtube thread?

Well, we're one hour and 10 posts in and all we have is the usual PH bhing and not a single dash-cam clip!

No!!

Because that thread should be for cool, interesting and funny stuff found on Youtube. If that becomes a thread full of clips of people being MLMs I'd be pissed.

Don't think my driving can be criticised in this one but we'll see.

So we're having a thread about how we can't possibly have a thread?

How very PH!

The answer must surely be MX5 or remapped 335D.

Yep, you're right. That link requires me to log in - very PH. Although, unlike PH I don't have a Facebook login so I'll never know what I'm missing.

Typical! I see that all the time. As far as I can see the only reason for both those cars to pull out was to piss the van-driver off!

[ging84]

the practice of posting other people's mistakes caught on dash cam really should be encouraged, for one over 90% of the time, the videos turn out to be truly trivial incidents that the poster thinks is the worst thing he's seen in his life, and probably more than half the time, the poster is as much or more to blame.

Worth noting that in many parts of Europe, sharing these sorts of video, is illegal under privacy laws.

Looks like the left hand lane is only for the next junction so it makes sense that they are moving to the right but doing so blindfolded feels like a risk.

here's mine from the other thread.
