Wishing this client had a Blackvue unit!

This client was travelling on the 400 series highway and was cut off by another tractor trailer and was forced into the snow covered shoulder, causing this jack knifed collision.  The Blackvue unit could have saved him from being charged with careless driving...

Worried about your novice driver?

Ever wander if the new driver in your family is driving the same whether you are in the car or not?
Wander no more! with the help of the Blackvue recorders, you can use it to gather evidence, critique driving habits, or just a visual deterrent.  If you are like me and are paying a lot of money for insurance premiums, then invest in a tool to keep young drivers at bay. if you are asking, who has the time to review hours and hours of footage? certainly not you, however, every once in a while, checking on your new drivers is certain to bring you peace of mind.
What if the novice driver is determined not to use the Blackvue, well the transit bus is an alternative...
Once that trust relationship has be established, you may never view the captured footage again, unless required.
In my opinion all driver's education instructors should be using this device to record and share for education purposes.

Don't become the victim of a Staged accident.

You never know when or where, but when it happens, be prepared with your digital video recorder activated. If a motorist suddenly cuts into your lane and slams on the their brakes, and you rear end that vehicle. Who's fault would this be? I should hope the other driver, however, the fault determination may be given to the driver who can verbally convince the officer.  This is the main reason why we insist our clients to use the digital video recorder.
I recently spoke with a gentlemen about an incident that was caught on his dash camera where, an erratic driver slammed her brakes in front of his vehicle almost causing a collision.  Furthermore, the erratic driver was caught exiting her vehicle and approaching the gentlemen's vehicle with key in hand!  Fantastic evidence for the Police to lay charges.  I asked this person to release video to my upon court completion.
You never know when you will need video backup.

What does a vehicle EDR (Event data recorder) record?

The main reason why the Blackvue unit should be used in conjunction with the vehicles EDR.

In a crash or a near car crash event, the SRS airbag sensor assembly contains the EDR.  This device may record some or of all of the following information:

1. Engine speed
2. Brake pedal applied or not
3. Vehicle speed
4. What extent the accelerator pedal was depressed
5. Position of the transmission shifter lever.
6. Whether the driver and front passenger wore seat belts or not.
7. Driver's seat position.
8. SRS airbag deployment data.
9. SRS airbag system diagnostic data.
10. Front passenger's occupant classification

The EDR does not record sound data such as conversation between occupants.

The follow exemptions for when the manufacture can disclose data recorded on the EDR:

1. If there is an agreement from the vehicle's owner.
2. Officially requested by the police or other authorities.
3. Used as a defense for the specific manufacture in a law suit.
4. Ordered by the court.
5. For research purposes.

Winter Storm?

Prepare yourself for the chaotic winter drive. Make sure your windshield is clear of any debris and make sure your Blackvue is plugged in.  Drive safe.

Video Evidence for court

Fantastic, must read information on Video evidence in the judicial process. Written by James Careless, quotes from Elliott Goldstein (Lawyer):  “The party tendering video evidence must establish how the video was recorded, what impact the recording process had on the captured video, whether the exporting of the video evidence has further comprised the reliability of the images and whether all relevant video has been obtained of the incident in question.” As a result, “video evidence must be authenticated in order to gain admissibility in court. Authentication can be accomplished by witnesses familiar with the video content — for example, the person who captured the video images — or technically, showing that the images have not be altered in any improper way. This is a requirement of both the Canada Evidence Act and common law.”
