We were just tooling along down to Chattanooga this afternoon. We were going 70 mph, ohh-dee-ohh-dee-ohh......and...the silver Camaro sort of meanders onto the scene. I'm guessing he was going 130, but that's just a wild guess, maybe low. This sort of thing makes me mad is what it does.

How Fast Do You Think This Guy was Going?
At least he didn't kill anybody for as long as we had him in sight.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsTags: None

The $50 dashcam makes a pretty movie in high def but my video editing software on the computer converts the .MOV file to .avi and it loses the high def format. So I was thinking, do a screen grab from the raw file and then zoom that to get the license plate number. Nope, you don't get NASA stuff for $50. Rats.

I take it you're using, and you like the dash cams I recommended?
Ours are still working fine and dandy a year later..
I started driving my rusty green winter beater XJ (it doesn't have a dash cam) a week ago. I'm so used to having a dash cam now that I ordered one for it on Friday. A dash cam has become a necessity for me, and I can't drive anywhere without one. There are too many idiots like the Camaro guy on the road, not to mention all of the distracted self important cell phone users. I bought my friend a dash cam after he saw mine and now he's in the same boat now, he can't drive without one.Last edited by tardis454; November 10, 2019, 08:12 AM.

I recorded a subaru WRX by chance, 50 dollar camera.
my attempt at license plate zoom was off by 1 digit...
that car has not been seen or heard again after i posted.
I am finding other cheap ways to go about it... upgrade to at least 1080p.. I got some 4k cheapies too.

A couple of years ago I was driving solo from home to Omaha, NE. Somewhere around Columbia, Mo on I-70 down an on ramp a Mustang of some sort and a Subaru STI came flying down the on ramp side by side. I mean they were at high speed even before actually getting on to the highway itself. Even with the air on and windows up I could hear these two even as they disappeared, still side by side. The only time I saw the not side by side was when they wound through traffic. My bet would be that they were over 100 as they left the on ramp and increased speed rapidly from there. I was intrigued, but also appalled at the risk they were putting not only themselves but others on the interstate. .

What next, you going to hover in the left lane to stop those that might run over the posted speed limit.
What was the posted limit on the road, where you over it?
speeding is speeding, roads would be safer if everyone worried about themselves and not what others are doing.
You have no idea if the driver was an undercover on a call, Barnaby jones ( I think that is the phase you guys use for wannabe cops/busy bodies)Last edited by Eric; November 12, 2019, 11:51 PM.
