Russian dash cam

Recommended Posts

I think everyone in Russia has a dash cam. Why?

for insurance and to protect from their cop-mafia.
There are enough bad drivers and bad cops around to guarantee you to have a hell of a day on the road. With a dashcam you have some evidence that you are not necessarily the worse on the road [:/]

Bingo. Lots of cops over there will screw you over.

But it also means you see a lot of stuff you don't normally see here because we typically don't have them.

You don't need to go to Russia to get screwed over.

Last accident I was in, a stupid kid tried to pass me on the right in a damned gas station, as we were both leaving. Idiot sideswiped the right side of my Jeep, with the left side of his truck. I called the cops; Cop arrived; Kid lied his ass off about what happened; And the ignorant cop gave *me* a ticket for reckless driving.:S You could tell just by looking at the damage, that the kids story was bullshit.>:( I hired a lawyer and got the charge reduced, but not eliminated.>:(

My Jeep now has front and rear dashcams. In that accident, a front-only dashcam would not have picked up much of what happened, since the idiot overtook me from behind, then rubbed along the side.

Didn't the gas station have security cameras? If yes, they probably could have helped your case.

That was the first thing I checked, and they swore they didn't have them.
Bear in mind this was 10 years ago.

Probably not a scientist at the Baikonur Cosmodrome.... huh

Are you SURE?

Could have been one of those guys working at Chernobyl.
