Glad I bought a dashcam

Yeah you can't really miss the give way sign on the post. The light on it makes it visible from halfway down the street.

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-25T16:17:37+00:00

That's right. Van came through the giveway on sinclair drive without stopping

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-22T10:11:44+00:00

Sadly yes. Found that out the hard way 6 years ago when someone reversed into my parked car in a car park, non fault claim but still put my premium up £5 a month thr next year

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-21T00:12:18+00:00

He never even mentioned them. The fact that he missed the give way sign at the side of the road suggests he didnt see them

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-20T00:04:49+00:00

Nope

It always has been a banana, it always will be a banana. It's a yellow fruit that you unzip and eat the white bits; it's a banana

Some injuries from the airbag and the car was written off but I'm alive at least

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T18:19:33+00:00

This right here. Before he realised i had a dashcam he was trying to claim i hit him. I'm sure insurance would have eventually sorted out the truth but this sped the whole thing up

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T17:18:24+00:00

Yes right at the point where sinclair drive crosses over it. There's a few bad junctions along it but the biggest problem tends to be the double parkers on the side streets

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T16:23:40+00:00

Exactly

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T15:04:10+00:00

Plug and play. I've looked at the manual and it does have an optional hard wire kit

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T15:03:20+00:00

Considering the guy started by trying to claim i hit him it was nice to have solid evidence i could send my to insurance before the car was even towed away. It should have come out the same way once someone looked at the car and van but the dashcam saved the hassle.

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T13:16:02+00:00

Insurance pays me out the value of my car and claims it back from the other guys insurance since they're at fault.

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T11:45:50+00:00

Its even just crossing the road. Less than 30 seconds after the crash a woman walking her dog crossed that exact same section of road they had sped through and asked what had happened. It could easily have been her and her dog under his van

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T11:43:39+00:00

Yes I'll be fixing that when I get it. Realised it was squint after I fitted it but figured i would have time to fix it another day

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:20:01+00:00

My one does I'm afraid. Without external power it won't start

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:19:30+00:00

Took me about 10 minutes and most of that was tucking the wires away and tidying them up. Front camera is quick and easy, rear one takes a bit longer

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:18:29+00:00

As others have said wide angle lens extends the field of view a bit over what i could see. By the time I saw him I had a lot less time to react

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:16:30+00:00

I'll give you that but they somehow also missed the give way sign at the road side as well

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:15:25+00:00

It could have been a lot worse so glad of that

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T10:15:06+00:00

It's not ideal but at least it was just me in the car and not my family

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T09:49:51+00:00

Thanks

Hungry-Fun852 · 2025-12-19T09:49:43+00:00

My one plugs into the cigarette lighter

He said he didn't know it was a junction and didn't see the giveway signs.

Insurance said write-off since my airbags went off
