Click on photo to see.
You must have got it coming the other way Fred, that looks awfully like a forward facing TruVelo camera in your video, either way it's a revenue generator and nothing to do with safety

Nice P6 BTW

The land lady asked us to go easy on the loo paper and not to use more than 5 sheets at a time. Her last guests were young and used up half a roll of toilet paper per flush. How she knew that, I haven’t a clue. But she said they blocked up the pipes to her septic tank. There was a message in the bedroom on the pillows “Thank you for not smoking” - as it is, we don’t smoke and another message saying to limit the shower use to 2 minutes because of the water shortage. Overall it’s a lovely little B&B Tomorrow we are back on the farm on the mountain.
Five sheet's of bog paper after a dump, she's having a laugh. I use more than that after a follow through .

I have to admit i did think that camera only faces outward bound traffic but that isn't a good junction. It's just round the corner from my Fathers place and i have seen quite a few accidents there but still bad luck you got caught.
I travelled the opposite direction from your video the day you took it but didn't get to see your P6, it does look lovely from what i have seen tho

One of the cultural practices is not to use bog paper but to use a hand and a douche instead, in that case she is quids in, the old fish wife

We are both doing ok thanks Brian for asking. You guys in the northern hemisphere must be tough going under a car in the freeze, just wearing a T-shirt and having hands built like shovels
