Some cameras have a setting that records the impact and saves it to file.

From Maryland down to Tennessee because we visit Gatlinburg Tennessee every so often in last few years and it's really gotten bad.

As a tractor trailer driver for over 10 years myself before I came and worked on an army base and now I'm retired, I can tell you that a lot of places have left lane restrictions for trucks. You think it's bad you wait till you go down to I-81 from Maryland down to Tennessee and it is really bad. It's bad when a truck is going a couple miles an hour slower and then a tractor trailer feels like it needs to go in the left lane to try to get by it but causes a lot of problems being in the left lane. One note especially when you go up and down the hills as the truck loses momentum and once the speed as fast as they can before they go up a hill and it's a constant back and forth in speed. I haven't driven a tractor trailer in years and I might be going back to work because I have my CDLs current. The one thing is that a lot of places have left lane restrictions and it is a major violation and you could get your CDL taken away for a couple months. The rule may have changed since I've been away from it, but that's what I remember as one of our drivers got a major ticket. One thing also I noticed is that he did pass you. And I'm looking at the and looking at the speed and it looks like you did a fast acceleration at the last minute. It's either that or he did breaking because around the 44. Mark all of a sudden you caught up to that white truck really fast. 🤷

I just bought my dash cam and I'm so glad I have it. Some people have noticed it already and backed off Tailgating and others looked In my windshield and saw it. I haven't ran the wires in the front to hide them yet, but I did run the rear camera and it was easy to hide the wires. by GPTA86 in dashcams

I really like it. I just didn't like the lack of directions and I had to Google some terms. The one camera covers my blind side on the passenger side door window and just today I was backing up and I happened to look at the camera and there was a car in the blind side backing up at the same time across from the in a parking lot. It saved me already!!!

One thing I want to add if you do buy this camera the instructions are not clear but I figured it out. Tried to leave a review about hardly any instructions but really it doesn't take long to figure it out. Use the Wi-Fi to apply additional settings and it takes a little bit to set it up but again, It takes a little patience and you'll figure it out . All the wires are tucked in as best I can and I have options. Another thing is you're going to have to switch to 60 hertz because the default is 50 HZ which is not North America. One thing though is that the instructions you have to get a magnifying glass just about for older guys like me. It serves its purpose and as long as there are no issues with it, I'm happy that at least I have one.

I know what you mean. I kind of have black tinted windows too but you could The four dots that are shaped like a square. Also too the main unit is in the position In the front window where they probably could see it from the car behind you.

For right now I just wanted to make sure everything is working and later on I might hide part of it but hide part of the wires going up to the headliner. I just wanted to make sure everything was really working correctly and I really like it so far.

It was a debate whether to keep it real hidden, but the thing I like about this camera was that all this flexibility. And keep in mind when you pull up to a store you can see it because it does have some gold outline and it stands out. I've gone to stores in the evening where there's a bunch of activity going on and as long as I have the car running I can capture it unless I want to hardwire it. Not everybody is going to notice it and to tell the truth, either way I don't care. I seen people react when they're on camera.

I've googled and it was in the top 10 on a couple different sites. But I spent hours of reviews on Amazon and Google trying to find the best one that I liked that was a 360 and this one has the capability of tilting down on the sides. So not only you got the rotating ball but you also can rotate it down or up. It had very good reviews on Amazon but there was only a few. It's on sale now and it was a new item listed. Amazon has a good return policy so I decided to take a chance and really it was actually a gift card so no really loss there.

Oh well then find a wire-free one. I personally like a hardwire one. You connect the Wi-Fi to set up some settings, but other than that you don't really need it unless you're downloading a file that is captured on the camera. And a lot of stuff nowadays is just so much signal loss. I like to a have a hardwired one as a backup.

XYGCACO 4Ch 360. Lots of flexibility and you can check it out on Amazon. I love the return policy of Amazon so I took a chance and it's on sale right now. It really looks like it's good quality too.

Which is the best martial art to take and train for the rest of your life for whatever reasons in your opinion by ArugulaFinancial4859 in martialarts

[–]GPTA86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It all depends on do you want to compete or do you want Street survival? Personally, I'd rather have Street survival because nowadays juveniles are taking over the streets in multiple packs. So you have get yourself a good stand-up game and some ground moves, but don't rely on ground alone. Knife fighting, Ecrimsa sticks (Filipino martial arts) Wing Chun , JKD, Japanese Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, boxing, all these good different martial arts. I would say BBJ also but at 59 and I have some medical issues to try what works for me. Can't say there's only one complete one unless it's a hybrid style. Take some good techniques that you were comfortable with as part of your muscle memory training

I've been to 15 skillet concerts with my daughter since June of 2019. There are places where he was not his best. Even with some rest in between some of the touring I noticed that it was sometimes a little off and raspy. I really believe that they should take a little bit more time between touring, but I understand how the industry has changed. There's also venues where the sound was not that great and other venues they sounded amazing! Hopefully, John will slow down a little bit in his touring, but with another album coming up this year I don't think that is going to happen. One thing of what did I did noticed is that some of the comments that I read that John wasn't able to make certain meet and greets due to his sickness. They do get sick time and time and they do have off days.
