This works rather well, you just mark, then cut the section out before, then the section out after the required part and save the wanted part. AVIDEMUX

Had one this evening, the red punto turned right into a crescent shaped road the wrong way, and then cut across, first two lanes to the left, then five, yes FIVE lanes after the next set of lights! He only indicated after I blared the horn, and then when I glared over to him, had the cheek to give me the fingers!

A short clip from my dashcam. Warning, a little bit of bad language on the vid. From me that is, not from Pam Ayres who I was listening to on the radio

I was in a line of traffic stuck behind a van that was towing a VW camper on a rope.

See what you think of the overtake the Woman in the Pug 107 attempts just after the traffic lights. she avoids a head on with a Range Rover by about 2ft!!

Ive never linked a video before so I hope this works.

Yes that worked fine and the video worked. Pretty iffy trying to squeeze in a small space after it goes from 2 to 1 lane, especially in that car. Not only that, she was then stuck behind a van towing a van, what real progress has she made after that overtake?

I was actually watching the Corsa at first, first thought they had overtaken on a filter lane - obviously not, but I was too busy watching the indicator of the van (hazards of course), you can see the straight/right hand turn combo painted on the road. I would have been quite hesitant at that point.

Really really near miss last night

Passing a junction and noticed a Range Rover apparently waiting for me to pass as I had roght of way.

Suddenly the arrogant idiot pulled out directly into my path!

If I had not slammed on my breaks he would have severely damaged my car.

Utter utter prat

I keep thinking he must have been drunk to do such a stupid thing

Rant over

I'm planning to get a dash cam soon as the one in SWIMBO's car has proved quite useful.

She's captured many a near miss and recently a close call with a kamakaze cyclist

Anyone using a dash cam on here who can recommend a decent brand?

Also this thread was started for us to blow of steam by sharing near misses and perhaps dash cam footage (so long as the Green Team have no objection?) Obviously forum rules need to apply esp bad language!

Anyway today some numpty almost hit me as they changed right into my lane... No indication or even a look

it was even more frustrating as they didn't even notice how close they came! Hence the urgency for a dash cam

After 4 years my Nextbase 402 g camera has got a fault with it, so just bought a Nextbase 312gw. £99 from Halfords.that was with a 16 gb card and a carrying case for the camera. Very easy to operate. And I can recommend their service dept. They sent me a new battery after mine packed up 18 months ago.

The 312GW is a good 1080p dash cam, but it’s 3yrs old now, the 512GW is a huge upgrade. Much better lens, higher resolution, better battery for parking mode etc. It was £119 on our website yesterday but has gone back up to £149. It is gonna be coming down to £119 in the next week or two, you will still need a 32gb cars but get the SanDisk off Amazon for £12

I have NEVER heard of anyone recommending Halfords before

I've seen a few on Amazonian, but its better to see them in the flesh and also have a recommendation!

Thanks
