^I'd suggest running a power magic pro hardwire instead. The newer gen power magic pro I recall cutoff are higher than the old ones. This will at least cut off earlier to leave enough juice to start your car.

Knob in a bmw road raging.

not sure if it's ok to post - found on reddit west end - cyclist runs red and get SMOKED

apologies on linking, i have no idea how. hope they shared the vid to icbc, would have saved the driver a lot of headache.

Cyclists always pull that shit. Frankly you’re insane when you’re thinking you’ll beat the green running a yellow/red crossing a 2 lane street. Most cyclists I see don’t even look at the second lane just like that guy did. Generally the car in the closer lane blocks the majority of the view so you’re just crossing into that second lane hoping it’s clear

hopefully that car is ok

It super traumatizing for the driver too, my dad went through a 4 way stop with right of way a couple years back in his Highlander and a cyclist at full speed ran the stop sign, hit his passenger front and flew over the hood… totally fucked up the fender and the bumper detached etc, my dad is still traumatized by it to this day doubting himself and wondering if he did something wrong cuz he’s old and the guy was spitting fire at him the whole time.

cyclist prob went after his insurance too i imagine, further stress, when it was the cyclist's fault and no insurance to claim on.

i did hear recently that icbc went after a cyclist even though it was the driver's fault? (news story was from the view of the cyclist so i don't know who was at fault)

With that video could you file a civil suit against the cyclist for damages etc?

I believe the cyclist was originally deemed 25% at fault by ICBC, hence why ICBC sent him 25% of the repair bill. After external arbitration, the cyclist was deemed to be not at fault and didn't end up having to pay the bill.

In this case, the cyclist will be deemed 100% at fault no matter how you look at it. I wonder what ICBC can do if the cyclist doesn't have insurance and also can't afford to pay it. Will they come after him? Civil suit?

i imagine they would if they went after the guy for just 25%

sort of back on topic, any recommendations for a dashcam under $125 with a suction cup?

Can't get blood from a stone. If they got no money, they got no money.

Sue all you want, but if all I have is a T-shirt and a sack of potatoes, I hope you like hash browns and are a size medium.

Yeah, he is a raging knob.
But you also kind of unnecessarily escalated it by just by making the effort to lower your window just to talk to him in the first place.

What's a decent suction-mounted dashcam these days? I'm gonna be driving a bunch of rentals for work and I want something I can easily bring with me.

Anyone want a Finevu cr500hd for free before I go and recycle it? I didn't check footage often, so I don't know how well it works, but the lights still light up like it should. So consider it only good for parts. Includes CPL filter.

Uploading for a friend. If anyone recognizes this POS, please contact me. Happened in Burnaby on Aug 13, 2023 around 9:20 PM.

Sporting the 70mai M300 Dash Cam 1296p Quad HD in my cars and has been solid thus far. No screen on front and everything is done via connecting to the hardware adn then you DL the video. Can find them on aliexpress sometimes for around $60.

I bought the 70mai lite for the Lolvo. Exceptionally good quality at its price point ($70).

Yeah surprisingly a really good camera at that price point. I picked up one for each car and if you pay attention to the alie sales, sometimes you can grab the cam for around $56 CAD.

anyone have an ali link?
i did a search and several diff models with 70mai in the title came up that all look different, all over $100

Try this one:
