Drunk, texting, getting a BJ? Or a good chance he had one hand on the wheel and the other was turning on a small knob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police should see rear end damage and figured it out. I'm sure the do you know who I am routine came out of the drivers mouth As I understand it drivers are expected to sort it out themselves, if they can not then the police will fine both drivers. It maybe obvious to you or me who was at fault but but IQ numbers are not important when applying for a job in the police ...just the contents of the brown envelopes thus Thailand has a police force worthy of any Banana Republic. What is so amazing was the police actually took notice of the driver with the dash cam and did not fine him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dashcam shows the speed of 109km/h and the BMW zooms past it. Another case of 'I am richer then you!' syndrome. But doubtless not richer than a Mercedes driver.

With feet off the pedals and hands off the steering wheel one can travel quite some distance on "Auto pilot" - until something goes wrong, of course (such as, Lane Assist gets confused). Anyway, now that the BMW driver has been proven to be a lying B**tard, I hope they throw the book at him. 'I'm just wondering whether the BMW may have been employing Adaptive Cruise Control, plus Lane Assist.' Always more helpful if it's in conjunction with a driver who is employing some degree of IQ ... preferably not the native version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with ezflip. Owning an i8 in Thailand tells everybody you got so much money you don't care about the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebell Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Every one is saying get a dash-cam. Could anyone recommend a brand for front & rear? Even if I'd had one, I would not be out of my present situation; I crossed Suk from a minor road & was waiting to turn right towards Pattaya. Two young lads ran into me at 90kph. (I have photo of their speedo.) They hit me amidships so there would have been no camera evidence. The police say it's my fault (driving whilst in possession of a white face). I pointed out I was stationary and off Suk (I have photo.) They say I could have moved after the crash. I asked why there was no spray on the road to show the position of the bike. The police say they had run out of it! I have 1st class insurance but/so the boys' families are claiming nearly 9 (NINE) million baht from me and my insurance company. Anyone want to buy a house going cheap in Bang Saray? I'm serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had big fight with AX* about the what if scenario and finally got them to accept they are paid by me to protect my lily white butt in exactly the same scenario. What dashcam cam have you decided on as I am seriously looking too. Problem is here in middle earth (Khorat) all I can get offered is a Chinese very nice and shiny but likely short effective life POS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have my dashcam coming from the states, its a Street Guardian SGZC12SG (single camera), mainly to deal with the heat here in Thailand. If I was going to go with a front/rear camera setup, I would probably go with the Blackvue DR650S-2CH, I thought about it, but I like the better video quality of the Street Guardian on a single channel (single camera) setup.
