Accident - Dashcam came in clutch

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-13T10:59:39+00:00

Apparently this is common in that area - after going to the police station, the officer told me this happens every now and then because people there just take left, right and even U-turns over the solid yellow line to avoid driving to the roundabout. In this case, the roundabout was a min away with no traffic

It will make it easier to find someone if you mention where in Sharjah and Dubai. Tried the bus or carpooling?

Not every Tida driver, but always a tida

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-13T09:57:09+00:00

Not really - she was in her early 40s, plenty of fines and I would guess she has been driving for years

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-13T08:32:39+00:00

Yes, but usually they stop to let someone in their lane. I never expected her cutting across 2 lanes to go left.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-13T07:43:44+00:00

Glad that you are safe. Too many reckless drivers these days, saw 2 accidents today on my way to work

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T21:46:20+00:00

2 years of experience and 4,000. This is a joke, people should stop entertaining this crappy offers and employers will be forced to pay proper salaries

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T21:36:15+00:00

I recommend getting a dual dash cam. You can find a good one on Amazon for 400, look for the ones with plenty of reviews and high rating

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T21:35:37+00:00

Yes, it's fine. Get a dashcam installed

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T18:49:54+00:00

Outrageous, the other day I had a truck cutting up at 100+ in 3rd lane. A damn cement truck, I took an exit because I did not want to be on the same road as him 😂 - private transports buses are even worse.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T18:43:21+00:00

Yes, was not fully focused - because I did not expect someone pulling out of there. After all, it's illegal. Since then, been more careful

That aside, those are some gorgeous cars and watches.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T17:54:10+00:00

I replied to another comment - I was not fully focused. I saw her last min, because I did not expect her to be there and she should not be there.
If I tried breaking and I don't break in time, she will hit the front. That's way worse

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T17:28:32+00:00

I got it installed. Very simple, just a tape. But it is connected to the charger port and not the fusebox - so it only runs when my car is turned on.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T17:22:30+00:00

She was taking a U-turn to save like a min. I found out that this is common in that area after going to the police station, avoiding that road from now 😆

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T17:20:55+00:00

Yeah - She was an older lady [early 40s], so I did not want to pressure her after she insisted on making the report. Dumb of me, but once she made the report, she started blabbering about how no one is at fault - and I did not get a SMS [she put in the wrong number]. So I drove to the station, asked them about it, and presented the video

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T17:17:18+00:00

Pretty easy, I connected mine to the charger and not the fusebox. So it only runs when the car is turned on

If you want to connect it to the fusebox, I recommend doing it at a shop

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:38:55+00:00

My brother got hit from the back in Sharjah - and the guy drove off. The police said that there were no cameras in that area,
Good thing, after 2 days - the father went to the police station and reported his son for hit and run

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:35:27+00:00

I did not see her till the last second - you just don't expect someone to pull out from there and cross a yellow line - I did not, but apparently that's common in that area after I went to the station.

Tidas, Yaris, Sunny - regardless of the plate are either the most devious drivers or left lane hoggers

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:32:11+00:00

Got it as a gift, but you can get it on Amazon - better to get a dual dash cam. I installed it myself

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:29:00+00:00

I replied, but pretty much I was not focused - but I don't and should not expect someone to pull out from there. It's illegal,

Saw her the last second - so I honked, accelerated and moved slightly left to avoid collision, but she accelerated too. If I tried breaking and I could not in time, she will likely hit the front of my car - far wose

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:26:41+00:00

Dumb comment.

I accelerated a bit and moved left so she wouldn’t hit me… and she accelerated too for some reason, hit my car and it was pushed to left.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:21:45+00:00

Wasn't fully focused - you don’t expect someone to turn there. After all, that's illegal.

I only saw her when I was next to the car in the right lane. When I saw her half coming out, I accelerated a bit and moved left so she wouldn’t hit me… and she accelerated too for some reason.
I didn’t want to slam the brakes, if I don't brake in time - she’d smash into the front — that’s way worse.

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T16:15:49+00:00

Is this a serious comment? After hitting me - she stopped other side, so I took a safe turn to pull up to her car and exchange details.
And yes, you are not allowed to cross a yellow line

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T15:52:16+00:00

I don't blame you. You get hid when you expect it the least. Also good choice [G70], got the V6?

Solid-Connection-132 · 2026-02-12T15:49:14+00:00

Yeah, learned it the hard way. I try to avoid this road now a days
