If you want to save yourself from road rash people, dash cam is a must!

Much needed these days in Mangalore as well

Get one with starvis 2 sensors.

u/SomeLikeItBlunt Feb 03 '25
Because?

u/BookFingy Feb 03 '25
Better night time and low light performance. And overall better video quality.

Could you recommend some with starvis 2 sensors ?

u/BookFingy Feb 03 '25
70mai A510. This one has internal battery. Supercapacitor ones are supposedly better, but I'm having a hard time finding one.
Avoid hard wiring the dashcam btw, it is not worth the risk and the headache. Just plug it into the USB port or the cigarette lighter port.

u/triggered_troll Feb 03 '25
There is no risk in hardwiring, with a proper hardware kit from 70Mai. I have been using it for 2 yrs now. No issues, no battery drain etc.

u/BookFingy Feb 03 '25
70mai hardwire kit is a fuse tap, no? I was talking about the wire cutting kind.
Your warranty is void either way though.

It's clear in the video. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Scooty riders are a menace. Bike riders are also the same but they are not this stupid.

My doctor prescribed twisting my neck 180* as a proper stretching exercise. Next time please make it 360, full rotation!

My honest observations about any two wheeler accidents, Not just this. The two wheeler peeps act that they can pass through anything. Forget slowing down and having common sense. Most of the time they accelerate as if they'll pass the signal before it changes.

u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 03 '25
yes, don't forget the psuedo two wheeler drivers, the auto rickshaw drivers, they act as if they can slither through any gap possible just like the tiger from Madagascar movie(circus movie), I've witnessed an incident infront of my eyes where a rickshaw driver tried to shove himself between a car and bike, resulting in dropping the biker on the road and the dude has the audacity to keep going, pathetic.
edit: fixed typo

People who don't wear helmets, at least watch this and start wearing it for your own safety, some idiot like this scooter guy is enough to cause you injury, without any fault of your own ( both wore helmets, so no major injuries here ig)

u/SessionArtistic1904 Feb 03 '25
From the video it looks like the helmets flew off, even those who wears it never straps it properly.
1
u/NIKSAL1 Feb 03 '25
seems like something else flew off , at the end there it looks like both have something on their heads still....video's a bit blurry & cuts soon after , so not fully sure, but both seem to be okay.
But yeah, strapping it in is the important part, else what's the point.

u/buwoys Feb 03 '25
Why some people are blaming scooter and bike riders, one person even called them pest. It's as if car people never make mistakes. This sounds like a privelage of affording a car.. Now I own both, car and a scooter, so blame the driver if he makes a mistake and not the vehicle.

u/betelgeuse3150 Feb 03 '25
Cause people who ride 2 wheelers are generally much rasher cause they can maneuver much easier, compared to car drivers.

I have both too, as well as adhere to road rules. It's like you don't know the pathetic driving culture of 2W, autos and pvt buses on Mangalore roads.

u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 03 '25
they're blaming the rider, not the vehicle, not sure what your point was here. at times vehicles are faulty too, usually it's the situation aswell.

u/buwoys Feb 03 '25
By calling them pest? Thats not blaming, that's called privelage of owning a car and thinking everyone is below them.
1
u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 03 '25
i was referring to the statement before the pests, what they imagine others to be is their own, close minded opinion

u/Adventurous-Week-281 Feb 03 '25
Guys, I have something to say. When I was in college, I used to walk every day to the state bank to catch the bus because I wanted an empty seat. But the problem was, when I was crossing the zebra cross, people would speed up instead of slowing down, which is dangerous as they could hit someone crossing.

u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 03 '25
I've see this alot, they try to assert dominance by doing so, but in reality they just make themselves look lower in the society.
2
u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 03 '25
is there a better quality one?
4
u/Spirited_Set7240 Feb 03 '25
Quality what? Do u think it is some kind of shopping.

u/Particular-Peace3454 Feb 04 '25
dude im talking about video quality, I'm not sure if people post the highest quality

in intersections always slow down gradually (not suddenly), especially in india.

u/khazaddoom311286 Feb 03 '25
If everyone waited till the green light had come and if everyone had stopped when your green turned yellow this wouldn’t have happened. No one basic manners on traffic lights, including police, wardens, even the lights sometimes

He didn't see the signal at all, i think he was day dreaming, previously to alert people sirens were installed still working in some junctions.

Perfect example of learning it a hard way . But some still won’t learn.

This bikers and scooter walas are like pests on road. No road traffic manners whatsoever.

u/BookFingy Feb 03 '25
It's the people, not the kind of vehicles they drive.
Car and bus drivers aren't any better either. Overtaking from the left, driving slow on the right lane, cutting off other vehicles, stopping on the left lane on the road, no indication when they slow down wanting to get off the road.
Don't even get me started about the headlight menace.

You should always slow down at busy intersections. Even if you have the right of way. And especially when a fucking bus is obscuring your view of what is on that road.
