I decided I just had to get a dash cam to show the world just how bad Canadian drivers are, lol.

Found a basic little cam on Ebay for about 70 bucks delivered. Seems to work fine.

But wouldn't you know it, as soon as I hit record, they all start behaving themselves! lol.

Roundabouts are may favourite. I'll have a youtube channel up and running soon.

Anyone else captured any gems?

Let us know your YT channel. Hope there is some commentary !

Dash cams are cool, but don't think I'll get one, as the last thing I need is more technology aggro.

You're easily titillated.

We bought a dash cam ready for our trip to Ontario last year but it didn't arrive in time. In fact it was so late in arriving we got a full refund.

Lots of cyclists with helmet cams these days.

Tonnes of them!

It's sad, really, though. So many seniors showing why they just shouldn't be on the road. Volunteer firefighters who usually operate battered vehicles, with no brake lights, and never indicate. Cops who speed to Tim's.

You will capture a lot of stuff but don't dwell on the negatives too much! I prefer the animal footage and that's what I tend to share, rather than shaming people that really should know better.

I'll definitely share if I catch someone being a complete d-bag, though

I actually witnessed some car park carnage today, but didn't get it on the dash cam. I'm new to this paparazzi thing.

Actually considering getting one. They're at the stage now where you can spend well under $100 and get a fairly high quality image even at night.

Was looking at this on Amazon the other day. It's $70 in the US and you'll probably need to spend another $20 odd on a larger size memory card. I'd do it simply because you see some comedy on the roads and it's always good if some ass hat decides to side swipe you or such like.

Here's the one I got. Quick delivery too

And here's my first trial. No talking on this one ;-)
Purely a quality test

Was thinking "That's Hamilton" after the first few seconds.

Confirmed as soon as I saw Golf Links Rd

Ancaster, I thought..

Hi Dave, 95% of my driving is in the dark, have you tried it at night, if so what is the quality like ?
That's a real clear picture, especially for the price. Thanks.

There's a dash cam thread on red flag forums - automotive sub-section, showing videos of some of the worst drivers out there.

It's supposed to have IR night vision, but we had a spell of ice rain last night, so I decided not to tempt fate. I've only had my truck 4 weeks, the last one got written off in five, lol

Good quality video, but what's with all that white stuff!
