@1:36 ... you made a left hand turn even though there is a sign that says no left hand turns...

[lildobe]

@crf156 If you look under the sign, you can see that there is text written there - giving the times of day that sign is in effect. (9a-4pm, M-F, iirc). The turn was legal.

[crf156]

@lildobe Ah, alright. Thanks for the correction! :D

[lildobe]

@crf156 It can be hard to read the road signs in my videos (and will be until I get a faster laptop and 1080p camera) so I highlight and type out the contents of them usually. I just missed that one.

Nice to see another dashcam from Pennsylvania. That's an interesting setup with the webcam+laptop. Too bad the laptop's CPU isn't efficient enough to crunch all that video and audio data like a DSP is. I always thought of trying a setup like that, but I couldn't justify the cost of buying a SSD for my laptop. 0:40 and 1:12 were pretty scary with the sound effect added lol.

@mattbjrs The laptop itself is an old Thinkpad T42 (Pentium M, 1.6GHz) with only 1gb RAM, so it lags quite a bit when crunching a lot of data :-/

I plan to replace it with a new Dual- or Quad-Core machine in the near future.

I like the camera that have GPS and stuff. What is it called?

[lildobe]

@DrivingandDashcam It's called "MiniCam" and is made by curioustech . net

damn, crazy captures! my fav that I dont understand idiots doing that is the out of blue turn in infront of suv at :38! also at 1:08 dont understand why people would go if they cant see if others are in the tother lanes but you mention they are on the phone so yeah! nice camera, sucks its jittery but you still get to see all fine especially all the gps stuff! nice captures!

[kyogre6444]

Good grief! Nice captures! Some very close calls....

[fattpieceofcrap]

i always wondered in that first clip if you were the car on the left and hauled ass making him hit the other car or you would it technically be your fault

[lildobe]

@fattpieceofcrap Technically it would still be the car in the right lane's fault - they are the ones who went straight at a right-turn-only.
