That would have been classic.

ps. I was driving at 79 when he past me and then I slowed down for the pedestrian crossing.

OK, IIRC your dashcam footage of the Golf passing you, clocked you at a fairly stable 66km/h, that said I was not watching your speed throughout

Whoa, when did that come into existence? Bookmarked, hopefully I will not need it, but just in case.

Awesome, thanks! Need it after yesterday's guy in the X5 who can't drive who "stepped on the wrong pedal" and rear-ended me in William Nicol in Sandton.

its pretty recent, and totally handy

Going well below the speed limit or hogging lanes, can just be just as bad as speeding.

Some more vids, starting to get better at using YouTubes tools now.

@gamer16 you can see the quality is good but viewing angle and distance are the not the best(if i pick up a wide angle attachment el cheapo ill add that and see if that helps)
So if you have an old phone lying around then its worth it but if you going to spend some bucks on buying a phone, rather save a bit more and get a good quality Dashcam.

lol until my mount broke yesterday and don't see anyone selling ones (at least not cheap) - managed to repair it will see if i can find one on the weekend.

But like i said if you have a phone lying around its OK but dont go and buy one - you might as well buy a decent Dashcam

To the women who I presume was on her phone and not paying attention or simply has no idea of the rules of a mini circle and simply rolled through without yielding, I hope you got a wake up call yesterday afternoon. Luckily I am extra careful around our suburb which has many mini circles and even more drivers who have no idea how they work. I really wish they would just have one set of rules for mini circles and traffic circles like they do in most countries.

I feel like printing the rules of circles and mini circles and keeping it in my car to hand out

One of the best I have heard, is that 4th Ave in Parkhurst is a main road so anyone travelling along it has right of way at a mini circle That is not even a misinterpretation of the rules, it is pure fantasy.

 

[The_Librarian]

Is "yield to the right" still a rule in any sort of circle still valid?

 

[The_Librarian]

Couple of random observations.

Need to up my game with the publishing of this... titles and all that. Which decent video editor do you guys recommend?

That is the rule for a traffic circle. For a mini circle is first-come-first-go, like a 4 way stop.

Traffic Circle yes - mini circle no

Someone made a site to explain this
