Highway speed down to 20mph. Was hoping that SUV on the left was going to provide feedback but sadly the driver wasn't texting.

This one was annoyed when I wouldn't let him back in.

how do you mount your smartphone on the dash?

Just caught this yesterday. Watch the Miata in the left lane. You need to go full screen to see it. I am not sure what caused him to lose control of his car, but he did a quick feint left and then turned straight into the truck.

Just a regular cell phone holder that lets you adjust the angle. It was like $5 on amazon. I'm currently using a contour roam (wider angle), but the cell phone has better audio/video.

That's insane. Did you submit the video as evidence?

Yes, I sent an email with a link to the video to the Florida Highway Patrol with the date, time, and location of the accident. I have not heard from them.

Do you have a link to the car mount you are using?

I am trying to find one that will sit on top of center dashboard (above nav unit) without being too tall.

our dashboard is too textured and has curve, so it's hard to place a suction cup on it.
