Gee Condo I only tapped you a lil bit!
I'm kidding, it wasn't me and I'm really sorry this has happened to you. The other driver is a jerk and it irritates me twice as much because he's a Swift.

The wierd part is I never look at the passenger side. Some little birdie said I better check the other side and sure enough....

I have a dash cam mounted on the wind shield that records 24/7. I run legal all the time. I can`t control how others drive but i can at least record it. The dash cam that i have cost about $ 200.

It seems you hear more and more lately about getting hit and the accused runs away. Is it because of the time restraints on getting to your destination, or the amount of new drivers out there.

I ran a dash cam in my truck as well, just to cover my tail if something every happened in front of me. I just got a camera from best buy that has a hard drive in it so I can record up to 14 hours on it, and then got a camera mount with a suction cup on it and voila a dash cam.

You got hit by another driver from a large company? That sucks! Now you can proudly wear the "Hit by another driver" ribbon similar to what guys in the military wear on their shirts!
I'm for cameras on either the dash or the mirrors all the way!

one more quistion
Okay one more quistion, , now lets say you got dash cam setup, does this need too be hardwired into a vcr or something like that too record , too keep records , i know the cam has this storage, but most do not store that much, Everett.
