TAKE PHOTOS??! Why do that when you can mount 2 cheap
video cams front and rear. Just erase the miniDV at
the end of every safe excursion. Can you picture going
to court armed with a video?
"Look your Honor, heres the part when I go "OOOOHHHH
SHIIIITTTT!!"(slow motion) then the guy slams into my
bumper"
...........well...we are all headed in that direction,
Insurance companies would save millions by lobbying
for this big brother technology:) IMO IMO
LAterssss
