Glad I Had a Dash Cam

[bad company]

This oncoming motorcyclist came a cropper probably due to losing concentration. If I’d been a few seconds ahead he’d have landed in front of my car and I’d have hit him.

Reminds me why I have the dash cam.

The cropping makes it look as though you are in the middle of the road and the biker has taken evasive action.

I obviously wasn’t there so hopefully the entire video is clear wrt what happened.

Why not just post the video?

I wouldn’t have a d cam as a gift

Wow, the first frame makes it look as though you’re on the wrong side of the road and the rider has taken avoiding action

There's a quite a difference between the first photo and the third photo.

Do you have a Dashcam or a stills camera?

I suggest you post the whole video or delete the thread.

The first picture is clearly a zoomed crop and if you look at the last picture you'll see another bike has managed to negotiate the bend safely.

If plod asks for the video they will want the part that’s cropped, like the speed readout (or lat/long plus timestamp, which gives the same thing)

Typical GS rider, probably the first time that the bikes seen mud

The third photo is fairly obviously from a rear-facing camera.

That's the one!

I can’t find a way of posting the video pictures but here’s the stills before cropping.

Ah, the second shot is the first, chronologically

The cropping gave a different impression

Thanks. I just corrected that I think.

Horrible day, I can’t stop thinking about the biker.

Is that possible on PH?

Yes if you upload it to YouTube first.
