- reluyogExplorerWhen I leave the Southern side of metro Denver headed to Southwest Texas, I drive city, state and county two lane paved roads the entire way. Generally don't drive the interstates much at all any more. It seems somewhat less race track like. I also run a dash cam most of the time.

I-70 and I-25 through Denver is lined with long black skid marks on the road surface and lots of plastic/glass and broken vehicle parts on the shoulder of the interstates. From NE Oklahoma to SLC we go up I-35 and on north to York, Nebraska then west on I-80 on to SLC/Provo area.
When we go south......that is our “much” preferred” route! memtb - JIMNLINExplorer IIII-70 and I-25 through Denver is lined with long black skid marks on the road surface and lots of plastic/glass and broken vehicle parts on the shoulder of the interstates.

Ya , that would be crappy saving life’s :R
I do hope you're kidding on this one. If you think for 30 more seconds after this thought pops into your brain, you'd figure for yourself why it's so naive.
It was very naive, what could I possibly have been thinking of such a stupid thing like wanting to save life's . But yes it would be futile ,and its just wishful thinking . - RAS43Explorer IIIIt is a temporary license plate for a newly purchased vehicle to allow time for paperwork to reach the county motor vehicle office.

Thats a strange looking tag, looks like they were confused or brake checking you.
looks to me like a temporary tag. I bet that could be made legible if desired.

If the OP could get the raw video to someone, I'd bet they could clean it up enough to read the tag. Not many YT videos are posted in full resolution.

What do you need the tag for? - blaczeroExplorer

Nothing like having an air horn to lean on. Guess you could get one of those for your truck.
BTW, due to the relaxed drug laws in CO, isn't there a good chance that the crazy drivers are high on something? - laknoxNomad

How do these dash cams function? Do they turn on/off automatically with the ignition switch, or does one have to remember to start them? What happens when the memory gets full? Are they affordable or expensive? Easy to install or difficult?
You can set most decent cams to come on with ignition, come on with g-forces (parked car getting bumped) or always on. I'm looking to get a set for my car that can also be moved to my truck/trailer. I have zero issues with using a wired connection.
When the card gets full, it starts overwriting the older footage. Virtually =all= cams have a "bookmark" feature where you can bookmark a spot and it will automatically save, usually, the 5 mins before the button push and 5 minutes after. It is locked from being overwritten. I =think= if you push the button more times, it locks out more time on the card.
Like anything, dash cams can be had for pretty cheap or pretty expensive. All depends on the quality and features you want/need. Installation runs the same way. You can choose a "portable" install, where you've got wires running all over, or a "permanent" install, where wires are hidden. Also, a lot of people that choose to have the always on feature will install a dedicated battery for their cams. Another feature, especially for hotter climates, is to get a cam that has a "super capacitor" instead of a battery. They are =much= more reliable than batteries in hot conditions.
