Re: Road Rager Didn't Like Me Driving the Speed Limit
The "hitchhiker's" thumb gesture in some Eastern European cultures is a request for a homosexual encounter.WildBill wrote:Do you care to provide some examples?Reserve161 wrote:03Lightningrocks wrote:By the way... In that situation, a "throwing the hands in the air gesture", can be interpreted in a negative way. To many people, this is actually a challenge. It is similar to saying "so what you going to do about it", just after doing something mean to someone. [generous snip]
Most of the time, the situation at the time of the hand gesture is utilized to interpret the meaning.
[another snip]
I agree and want to add that different cultures interpret hand gestures differently. Acceptable gestures here are
offensive to many if not most other cultures....
The American gesture for money (rubbing thumb and fingers together) means "I want to pick my nose" in some asian cultures, and when done behind the back, means "I just did".
At least that's what I've been told...

How much did the ticket cost you?george wrote:Consider this,
last month, on the way to Florida, a black Charger comes up behind a car in the left lane. Getting a littlle close, and flashing his headlights to pass. The car in the left lane decided he would teach the agressive driver a lesson, and put on his brakes. The Charger was an unmarked trooper. Surprise!

I didn't notice the 15/30 fps issue, thanks for pointing that out. On the other hand, I would prefer one powered by the car, rather than trying to keep batteries charged -- but to each his own...LabRat wrote:Hey sjfcontrol,sjfcontrol wrote:Found this one online for about the same price.

This one came up in my searches before I picked the GoPro. It has to be plugged in continously to DC power, so I favored the battery option on the GoPro to keep the clutter down in the dash area.
That means if your car loses power (maybe after an accident....the recording quits) - no continuing to record. I preferred to keep recording.
Also, I like the 30 FPS rather than the 15 FPS required if you use the dual mode.
Single exterior mode is at 30 FPS. That 30 FPS makes the video much smoother.
I did like the interior/exterior views and the GPS location and G-force data could be handy.
If any one gets this model, let me know how you like it and if the GPS etc. works as advertsed.

I gather yours requires an external microphone to record audio.
