I’ve been trying to figure out a best practice for manually saving dash cam footage. A couple of days ago, I witnessed a crash and a college student in front of me got hit by another vehicle that ran. I was a little surprised and caught up in the moment but immediately pressed the “download” clip button to download. We waved the poor girl over and said we would send the footage.
When I got home, all footage was there but of course immediately ended about 10 seconds after the accident since I pressed the download button. I really wanted the hit car to see that the driver of the other car ran but those 10 seconds didn’t exist.
In accidents like these, should the response not be to simply save +- 10 minutes of download instead of having to think about delaying the manual download? If I was hit and couldn’t think clearly, I have no idea what I would do.
Any points would be appreciated!
