I came on it very shortly after it happened I think.

Looked to me like an A7 hit the rear of a soft roader (possibly a Kuga/Sandero) at a considerable speed, which forced the Kuga to hit the car in front. It looks like the Kuga then launched up and off the back of that car in the overtaking lane, went right across the driving lane and ended up on the hardshoulder on its roof.

Only 3 cars on the scene but going by the damage, its a miracle everyone was out walking about and noone was killed

Have same one in mine and hers, seems grand for the money screen set to turn off after a min or so and therefore doesn't distract etc

Just factor in a mem card and longer lead if that's what you need shud b £35-40 all in delivered

Has various loop length setting, infr red, g sensor for impacts etc

Thanks, ordered one each for me and the wife.

Had to resort to the iphone last week when a deranged ex brother in law slammed on the anchors twice attempting to cause an accident. Got him trying the second one and went to the police.

Dont forget your micro sd cards. From reading other listings they need a class 10 card to be compatible with 1080p video.

Thanks for that, I hadn't actually thought of that. Don't suppose you have a link?

Sounds perfect for me then so .....

Last question, is there a button you can press to save the previous minute or so of footage? ie if the person in front is acting a wab can you push a button and retrieve that minute of footage at a later date?

Hmmmm quite possibly, I think the return button stops recording and pressing again will start again? I haven't okayed with it that much I don't even have it visible to me when driving to press buttons, I know if I had summat happen and wanted to keep footage I wud just turn it off
