Re: Honda CRV hits rider
Do you know the area in that last video? I'm guessing not, from your comment. There's a slight drop to the north there, which would occlude the view of anyone looking in that direction. By the time a driver is into the intersection they would be looking where they were going; not at a 90 degree angle to their direction of travel. That car would effectively come out of nowhere.
Cameras are in direct response to the number of people on the road, who have completely thrown the rule book out the window. Before I started running cameras I was broadsided by a cabbie who tried to pass me, while I was making a well signalled left turn. I was found 50% at fault for being hit when half of my vehicle was on the sidewalk, entering a driveway. He actually went onto the sidewalk to hit me.

I stand corrected. I personally have never had to merge into that long a line of bikes. The longest that I have come across is about 10, so no problem imo to not merge in.

Saw an idiot rider tonight. Pulled a right on a red without stopping. Couldn't stay in the right lane and lucky for him the car to his left swung left so he didn't hit them.

Re: Honda CRV hits rider
understand cams can be useful, but, dream on in the court/farce of utube,
cams can also distract the user about right in your face on the road heads up stuff, as far as bottom lines go
just cos u have a cam, may mean diddly squat & even incriminate u

You need to translate your posts into English so that us older folk can understand them.
Anyways, the "accident" happened five seconds into the green light.
Looked like the guy going through the red hadn't slowed down at all.

Lolz I used to think the same thing until I realized that he's been riding for about as long as I've been alive!

Re: Honda CRV hits rider
It would be nice if you could cut the text-speak and type in full sentences.
A camera is an impartial observer. It could protect me. It could incriminate me (if The Crown can make a case for it being taken). If I'm dead it can tell the story of why, then maybe help someone else to stay alive. A camera isn't going to distract me because it's turned on, then it runs. I don't screw around with it because that's good for points and a hefty fine. *Oh, and because it's bloody dangerous*

also lived/survived, after a life changing left turn in front of me deal & IT WAS UGLY, to fortunately be able to talk/function further.
nevertheless, any pilot also knows, that the the basic licence, is nothing more than a licence to learn

Re: Honda CRV hits rider
might consider that english is not necessarily the first language of all, particularity in the gta
and some may even be afflicted with dyslexia, others would call that differently enabled,

Thank you, but no. English is the primary language on this board and text-speech isn't English, nor is it representative of a person who is a non primary English speaker. It's simply lazy.

Re: Honda CRV hits rider
I would say this is true of most cams, but I've come across a few that mount over your existing rear view mirror and contain a live display; I would argue this could be a visible distraction, particularly at night.

Re: Honda CRV hits rider
It's funny because you seem to think anyone that gets into an accident on camera is at fault.
You make statement that suggests the driver that got t-boned was oblivious to the red light runner from a spot where the car would be blind to the guy that got t-boned 5 secs after the light turned green and should have seen it coming.
Maybe, just maybe, you should re-evaluate your own accident and put the blame on yourself for not seeing the person turn left in front of you.
Someone turning left in front of you is much more predictable than someone running a solid red at speed from the intersecting road
Seen a few of those. I thought such display screens showing a live feed to the driver was technically illegal. Not that they'd get pulled over for it anyway.

Those screens are intended for use in viewing the recording while at a stop. Yes, they are illegal to have running when you're in a moving vehicle.
Saw a good meme recently: "To the people who type in all lowercase; it's the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse."
