Recently the number of near misses I have had/seen on my daily commute has gotten extreme.
A month ago I saw the truck in front of me broadside (lightly thankfully) another car because the other car had run a redlight. We were sitting at a red light, it went green and thankfully he was very very slow off the line (I almost tooted he was that slow), otherwise she would have hit him in the door at full speed. The truck driver is very lucky I decided to stop and give him my info because the other driver insists she had a green light and since he hit her, it would have been his fault (officer that called me for a statement told me that) Nobody else stopped and it was a He said, she said. She is fighting it hard too because I have also had calls from lawyers about it.
Fastforward to last week and I was coming up to a light that was green for a good minute or more before I got to it. 35mph, just as I cross the line a vehicle runs the light from the left at full speed. I still do not know how I stopped fast enough to miss him, but these AS-05's stop hard and stop RIGHT NOW. These are just the two most recent, the number of people using their cars like a weapon/armor is just thru the roof.
So I have purchased a dash cam. It activates on power on, the problem is that the SHO the Cig lighters are always hot. Right now I am plugging it in each time I go for a drive and unplugging when I park.
SO! What have you guys done to hardwire your dash cams in?
