There be me on the A34 Oxford bypass slowing down in traffic.... to a stop.... and I looked in my rear view mirror and a Land Rover Discovery was looming ever larger in my mirror. I thought it's not going to stop..... and.... it shuddered to a stop on the hard shoulder just inches from my car.... and... there she was a blonde bimbo on the mobile staring at me as if to say "what you doing" but my comment was( shouting out my window) "What the **** was that? on your ******* mobile not ******* looking you stupid ******* b*t*h!!!"
Unfortunately traffic started moving so I had to go..... damn it!!

pointing backwards?
I have one forwards and I think there is one I can connect that's fixed at the rear, perhaps I should get it

I agree...front and rear dash cams is the way to go.....I've got 2x a118c in my Rcz

TomRS · 31st May 2018, 16:21

I think i'll go for a rear one as well... thing is getting them fitted on the Merc is a right pain as it already has camera's for the 360 view and lane assist.. wish i could just tap into that somehow and record it.

The MG has a front one as does my ranger... but this is another eye opener to push me onto getting a rear facing one as well.

I have a front facing dash cam and have thought about getting another for the rear. I must admit to watching more than a few dash cam videos on YouTube using front facing and rear, some of the driving is horrendous!
( I also look out for MG's and Rovers in the videos, that's a bit sad isn't it?)

Should have taken down her registration number and reported her for dangerous driving and using mobile whilst driving and nearly smashing into your car!.
