This happened to me in London yesterday on Saturday 07/12/13 - it was the first time I had watched my dash cam on my computer so I hadn't noticed the default date. My wife was driving and she was very calm when she saw this car coming the wrong way down a one way street - I suppose that's due to putting up with me for 23 years.

Mitcham. It's very difficult to get on that stretch of road going the wrong way unless you try very hard. I was in Dublin and we were driving back to a hotel we wanted to book into after going to the police station because our car had been broken into - the police are fantastic! We had parked our car and when we returned and saw the smashed window there was a note to go to the police station. The police had already caught the criminals and took our property for safe keeping. As we were trying to get to the hotel we saw that the hotel was very near but the quickest way would be to go down a one way street the wrong way so we were looking for an alternative route. The detective who had dealt with our case just happened to pull up by the side of our car and told us to go down the street to the hotel. We told him it's a one way street. He said: "Don't worry. Nobody takes any notice of that"!
Exactly. Getting into a crash car because a car goes the wrong way! I fail to see the problem. We saw the incident in real time and it's legal to make recordings in public. I was watching TV the other day and a car smashed into three cars. When the police interviewed the driver he blamed a lorry for forcing him off the road. The police found the driver of the lorry and he said he was about 100 yards from the incident. At this point it was one word against the other until the lorry driver produced a recording of the incident to prove his case! The car driver had been a totally reckless driver. The only people who have anything to fear about these videos are the reckless and criminal. I'm going to get a CCTV system to protect my house!
That's not the point, the point is you can't leave your house without being filmed doing it. It's sick.
I don't think people get filmed leaving their house very often. The purpose of me having a dash cam is for when other road users do something silly and cause an accident but then lie. We've had the dash cam for about three months now and we haven't looked at the footage before because nothing serious happened. You sound paranoid.
The more cameras the better as far as I'm concerned. If/when I'm mugged/attacked/crashed into, I want it to be filmed.
We used to live in Mitcham when we first shacked up together, you drove past the avenue where we lived. Memories.
I don't know what's happened about the sounds but there were swear words. My wife said it was a good job that there wasn't sound as she had been talking about needing to get home quickly because she needed to pee.
If you think that is bad driving, come and spend a week out here! There's not a day goes by that I don't see at least one total wreck of a car through carelessness and stupidity.
