• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

The level of stupidity displayed in these compilations seems to be increasing month after month. Are people actually getting worse as drivers or is it just that there are more Dashcams out there catching their transgressions.

I suspect it is the latter. People have always been stupid, more of them are just getting caught now.

Be aware that some of the videos aren't recent either, inclusion is based on submission date, not filming date.

I’ve had a dashcam since 2013, even then most people I knew would say “what do you want one of those for” nowadays most cars I see have them fitted & it won’t be long before car manufacturers actually build them into new vehicles just like they did with GPS units.
 
90 percent of the time these twits are not looking well or they are obviously texting. Slow down on busy roads and drive defensively to prepare for FW like these. I bet those trucks that hit cars were nodding off as well.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Yeah, there are some bad ones.

The one about 6:47 in is actually the fault of the driver with the camera - you can hear the indicator clicking away, still indicating left after the lane change.

It amazes me the number of at-fault videos they have.

And the amount of drive offs.

Bought a dashcam finally yesterday.
 
What dash cam ? did you get front and rear ?
Yeah, went the whole hog Black vue 900. Hardwired + the Express pro what ever it's called. The front will be portable to my other cars.

Caught by the Police Compilation 4.
Uploaded 07-JULY-2019

That footage at 3:47 with the Police Van was good ole Geelong, we use the road all the time to travel to north Geelong and Melbourne.
Loved it when that muppet in the Falcon doing the burn out at the lights got caught, he'll be missing his car for a while after it's impounded.
 
It tightens the ol' under carriage every time I see these. Guess I won't need them chassis bolts.:rofl::rofl:

Did you buy a second set of cables and a second mount? Just wondering how it’s portable if it’s hardwired, and the mount sticks to the windscreen with adhesive. Is it possible the salesman fed you a line of bs with that one?

Correct two mounts and a second set of cables. The cable will go to the cigarette lighter of the two other cars.

I remember you telling me they did a good job on yours. They may have not done a stinger before- anything to watch for?

Yeah make sure they don’t scratch it or stuff up your plastic like they did to @Wazz he posted a thread about it yesterday. Double check the settings they use on the power magic pro, after a few months mine doesn’t always last long once the engine is off, seems the Stinger doesn’t like having external devices hooked up to it. Occasionally the car throws up a warning saying the starter battery is discharging due to external electronic devices, other times there’ll be no warning but the dash cam has already shut off in parking mode. Often it’ll be running and I’ll go to the car, open a door or the tailgate and the camera will power down. Never had a flat battery in the Stinger so I guess it’s doing it’s job but they don’t always play nice together in parking mode. I had mine set for 24hrs and 12 volts I think. When I first got it, it ran for pretty much the full 24hrs, now it dies during a 12hr shift at work, sometimes even less than that.

When they set it up, PM me and let me know what they set it at.

If you want to go that route, Autoblackbox are the AU Distributors & you can buy these additional items to suit your current camera if you want to use the same camera in different cars.
