Filming my ride

U mean e white bmw? No didn't c. Only can c it very close to e line. Maybe out of ur video angle already which means ur camera mounted too front.

For editing tricks, let my best fren help u. http://Www.google.com.

E lines i suspect is camera issue. If just bought only maybe can request for replacement. This looks like a manufacture fault.

Thanks for the feedback. That friend was the one that got me started on the video. I just want to keep it simple.

I'm considering installing a in-cehicle camera for my bike.

something similar to this http://www.blackvue.com.sg

However there seem to be no such purpose-built camera for motorcycle.

Waterproofing will be the main issue.

Anyone know such motorcycle specific product exist ?

U can try searching for action video cameras instead. Most r rain proof. Water proof is more for under water.

i suggest you better don't get this, this type of camera are for cars. Placed behind windscreen there, think if place at motorcycle, the sound recorded will be horrible plus the placement abit difficult for motorcycle. Another better device will just be gopro. It is meant for high speed outdoor action.

Look at the video closely again...

Yes stopping in the pocket is not wrong...

So is turning not wrong...

But he did not watch out for the oncoming traffic before turning...

The light on my direction is green which means the green turning arrow will never be on...

The driver of the red swift was really shocked by the incident,his face was white when i rode pass him...

At around 2min, e toyota vios/camery must ve thought tat he is very fast or tat i r very slow. Keep trying to overtake. Even at e dbl center white line he also kept trying. If he did then can report tp, too bad he didnt.

For e last part, taxi turning right too slow. Swift going through junction too fast. In case any of us dunno, when e road is eg: 70km/hr, when reaching e junction we r suppose to slow down. Only when reach e line then spd up again. In e video, e swift didnt slow down i think.

So in our society, it has become e norm to spd through a traffic junction, but becoming e norm does not auto make it correct. Which is y i think both car at fault. But taxi more fault for making e turn becoz it is green.

To farther elaborate. In e past when times r good. E swift will slow down and reach e line spd up. E taxi will c incoming and dun make e turn regardless of e spd of e incoming. Only when clear then e taxi should turn.

In current times, swift will spd up more than e road limit and cross e junction. E taxi will as long as barely there safety make e turn expecting e swift to slow down. Both r wrong but taxi more wrong becoz swift has right of way.

But we riders noe better than to insist on right of way right?

I just had a similar case this morning 6am. Light is green. taxi from opposite direction on e lane which TURN LEFT ONLY. So i c go straight lane from opposite is empty and assume tat e taxi from opposite will also turn left.

So i made e right turn and e taxi came straight at me. I had right of way. He was suppose to turn left from e lane e taxi was in. bad idea for me to assume.
