Thanks Coast I might just do that. Auto barn currently ran out of stock, I have to wait a couple of weeks. All up $1067.

That’s about what I paid. Let me know how it goes. If they’ve got an experienced installer it won’t matter that they haven’t done a Stinger before, the basics are the same. I’d be interested to know what fuses they tap to power it just for comparison. Just make sure they know to hide as much cable as possible, they should be able to remove the housing from the LKA and run the cables through it to the headliner rather than next to it. Mine has virtually no cable showing at all.

That's what I told them was your experience. I will let them know come installation time.
They told me Black vue had the best after service care to, and normally if anything plays up they'll swap over like for like. Went for the 32mb rather than the 64mb as it's not a daily drive.

Wow. Hard to pick a ‘winner’ out of that bunch of losers. We can only hope they don’t breed.

What amuses me most is how aggressively many of the "victims" react (not just AUS examples, either). It's no wonder there's such an issue with road rage, when people get so bent out of shape over peoples dumbass mistakes.

It's the difference in cultures mate. WTF ya doin mate? is a term of endearment in Australia, not aggression

Like I said, not only on AUS dashcam channels, all over the world (US and UK included)..

Yeah, I cuss idiots out a fair bit too, but I don't come to a stop in an intersection leaning on my horn for 10 seconds after they've already driven off, or chase them down then pull alongside (blocking traffic myself) so I can scream at them.

If they nearly ended my life through carelessness I do.

Thanks for another horrifying instalment DCB. You’ve given me an idea though. My daughter got her drivers license yesterday so we watched this compilation together and I’ve given her ‘homework’ of going back through the old compilations so she can get a sense of what other drivers are likely to do. I’m hoping these vids will force feed some experience into her and help her anticipate trouble. So thank you for the inspiration.

Your Welcome @OliverNuther , I think watching them together with your daughter whom just got her licence is a great idea, my daughter whom is on her P2 green P plates here in Victoria , I bought her a dashcam for her birthday, and installed it for her just last weekend.

Ollie it might back fire on you, if you show her that lot she'll never want to get behind the wheel

...as you can see people here have enough trouble trying to drive on the "Correct" side of the road. I think we'll pass on that one.

TBH I wouldn’t be entirely unhappy with that scenario. There are so many young kids being killed on the roads these days I’m secretly terrified that she’ll become another statistic. But she’s pretty sensible and she hasn’t rushed into getting her license (she’s 19) so I just have to hope she’ll be ok. It’s not her I’m all that worried about; it’s more the clowns that appear in these videos that scare me.
