Mine is not attached to the mirror. I purchased the recorder after being in an accident with a lying driver. Even tho' I won the case after months of work, it's not worth the time and energy to have to do it again. The recorder can help in situations like this. A lot of commercial vehicles have it installed.
Yes, 布小熊, siumaibb, if you ever drive by Fairchild square (on Hazelbridgeway across from Parker place), you will know that the mall driveway and entrance are actually narrower in person than they look in the video. Also, depending on the traffic light intervals and hour of the day (a taikwando school right there, and lots of children's classes inside that mall), there can be 3-5 cars from each direction -Cambie/Alderbridge- waiting to turn into that entrance at the same time.
The company I ordered from is chinavasion.com, and the unit is called Car Video Recorder with Laser Indication Light. Cost about $60 incl. shipping but you have to add your own SD memory card. On their website there are some recorders that record in higher resolution but this one is economical and does the job.
if mrsk didnt just stay behind and honk, there was lots of time to go pass the corolla before there was even on coming traffic
Not really. I understand that it might be difficult to see from the small video screen, but there are speed bumps on the mall's driveway. We could not drive fast there because of the speed bumps and because kids might come out between cars anytime. As seen in the video, we had actually moved over to the left (on our way to avoid the Corolla), but had to move back to the right hand side as soon as we saw cars coming in. The ones that are seen are turning left into the mall. The other cars that make right turns into the mall usually make sharps turns and cannot be seen in advance. Anyway, the last speed bump was right behind the stopped Corolla. it would be stupid to run a speed bump and weave in front of oncoming cars. If an accident happen because of that (even if it is the car that turns in hitting my car), ICBC will hold me at fault coz' I'm on the wrong side of traffic. ICBC will hold me at fault even knowing that I was driving around a stopped car, because on that portion of the road, the cars that come in have the right of way.
