| Have you got anything useful to say whatsoever? For the record, I have a clean licence which I've held for over 10 years, I've had no at-fault accidents, and was motivated to look into these systems after a friend of mine had an incident where the other driver was clearly at fault. Footage from his ... |

| This might be better in the General Chat forum - if so then mods feel free to move this thread. I'm considering getting a dash cam system, but all the ones available seem to be unsuitable for various reasons. My requirements are: 1. Two cameras, front and rear facing 2. No audio recording (or abilit... |

| Going back to the original topic, on this occasion I think the Top Gear presenters may well have got it right: If you recall the News item a few weeks back, the opinion was that if the limit were to be increased to 80mph, it would then become rigidly enforced. The problem being that 80mph is 15mph s... |

| I've been considering installing one of these for a while now. After the behaviour I witnessed this afternoon I'm almost ready to reach for my wallet. Following recent snow the conditions weren't exactly ideal. And driving through a temp 50 motorway limit enforced by SPECS cameras there was a string... |

| Hmmm... tailgating, one of my pet hates. I'm not a slow driver. (Despite the display name I'm not a maniac either, I'm just a huge Top Gear fan!) But sometimes I'll have some idiot mouth-breather crawling up my exhaust pipe, usually when I'm "following through" another car on a motorway ov... |

| I get this as well. I still think there's people convinced that NSL is 50mph, or even 40mph, rather than 60mph. Not sure if it's badge snobbery or not (I drive an old Golf with 160K+ on the clock), but it does seem to be the people carrier drivers that dislike being overtaken. Whether they somehow t... |
