that transit cutting over at 7:30 just makes this even better

I feel vulnerable without my dashcam. Bonus points for a camera with WiFi so you can instantly download clips!

Ah the George Washington Bridge 0:01 . I specifically bought a dashcam before I took delivery of my 2024 Supra. I bought it over in New Jersey, installed the dash cam at the dealership lot and was drove it back home to New York. Drove home over 2 bridges and through the Cross Bronx Expressway. Nightmare drive but I luckily made it through. Please folks get a dash cam.

Don't ignore the flip side either. Your dashcam proves your own liability when you aren't following the rules of the road 100%. For example, a car pulled out in front of me from a side street at the last second and I could not avoid hitting it. I thought my dashcam would prove the other driver totally at fault. However, my dashcam showed me driving 38 mph in a 35 mph zone, so the insurance company put me 50% at fault because I was speeding. So my dashcam didn't exactly do me any favors in that situation.

I'm from MA, you're basically driving my daily commute as youre narrating this. I can't count the amount of crazy near misses i've had with my dashcam here

This video needed to happen; unfortunately, the worst drivers won’t see it. I learned how to drive in Germany as a US citizen and I’m astonished at the way people drive, carelessly!

I started driving in South Korea. Over there I'd say 95% of the cars have dashcams. Dealers install them free of charge most of the time and people insist on having a dash cam. Definitely makes dealing with accidents way easier but also ensures that nobody does anything crazy because everyone has a dash cam and could report it to the police any time.

Great video. Dash cam never lies! Distracted driving/bad driving/selfish driving is getting worse by the day. And technology really is helping this progression rather then preventing.

I got in a 5 car pile up on the highway on my way to work years ago. Sent the video to the police and they determined I was not at fault. 100% worth it

I just installed a dash cam in my '94 Thunderbird yesterday. I'm also a fan of those dash cam videos and some of those road rage incidents where people slam on their brakes in front of you is honestly terrifying, especially when it could be so hard to prove that even happened

Where I live in PA is relatively calm but anytime I go a city or anywhere in proximity to New Jersey I'm so glad to have one

I've had a dash cam in the Boston area since 2018 and have recorded some insane stuff from Boston drivers. Car crashes, cars racing and almost hitting pedestrians, cars running through stale red lights on a daily basis, etc. It has also saved me when a Winnebago RV stalled on a hill and came barreling back into my car. The Winnebago driver told the police officer I rear ended him after already admitting fault to me. I immediately pulled up the dash cam footage on scene and showed the police officer. He cleared me of any wrong doing in the police report and the Winnebago driver was found 100% at fault. Not to mention, it also brings your insurance rates down depending on the insurance company. It's by far the best $100 I have spent.

We went Vantrue N4 as we drive cross country. It does a great job of recording my wife swearing at all the idiots on the road.

I love the feeling that dashcam gives me that worst come to worst I have a proof. But the exposed cable is a no-go for my OCD. That's why i took over the A pillar, headliner and put the cable under the dashboard to additional USB port.

It’s decently impressive how matte you keep your leather wheel. The dashcam is a must have, though the garmin only capturing the front truly doesn’t help when someone rear end taps you, or T bones you. I use the Vantrue N2x on the rear window to capture the inside of the car almost at a 360, and a front garmin in the windshield. In NYC and boston it helps a lot to get the views from the sides almost as much as the front

Recently on a trip to Germany, i was on the A5 autobahn near Frankfurt and had initiated an overtake of a bigrig, that guy did a quick (carlike) lane change (like a stereotypical bmw driver) and i had to brake to avoid him crashing into me. Funnily enough, this was my first time driving in the EU.

I really love to hear the sound of fan coupling spooled up with V8, I can feel the power of engine way more than crackle and bang like modern sport cars do.

A lot of brand-new cars are coming with dash cams from the factory now.
