Love stuff like this - I wish I'd seen it:

Though not confirmed, the first video does make it look fairly typical of a small meteor burning up in the atmosphere.

You and me both

I wonder if it all burnt up.
The other possibility is space junk.

I nearly started this thread myself - so cool.
Am now thinking of buying a dashcam to boot.

On the rare chance you might capture a meteor on it?
???
-
No, just because it'd be cool to have one.

It's been confirmed as the aspirations of the Scotland Rugby Union team.

Help me out with this one, somebody?

Crashing and burning, or rather, burning and crashing

Ah, right ???

Not sure I want one yet, it probably won't be long before the insurance companies insist on it.
I know there is a good rational behind it, but it still looks like big brother to me.

I was going to try and post something witty about toilet cams and spying on us, but the Google search was enough to put me off using a public convenience for life.

It's not Big Brother if you choose to have one.
Supposedly they're very common in Russia, which is why so many dashcams there captured the spectacular meteor at Chelyabinsk just over three years ago.

It is big brother to be discriminated against, if you choose not to have one though.

Discrimination, yes, but not Big Brother, which implies active interference in personal privacy. On that view CCTV cameras aren't discriminatory but are certainly Big Brother.

I am already observed in so many places now, you have cameras watching your every move.
I'm even observed and monitored in work for every second of every day, every single tiny thing.
My phone calls, my actions on the PC screen, my movements around the building even a stroll out into the car park is watched and recorded.
The only place I'm not observed in some way is the loo. Even then my time in there is logged to the last second. ( and even there I wouldn't put it past them.)
Everything I do is watched, analysed and brought back to me, as a criticism on how I could do better.
The problem is you can never have an off day/ flu or relax, you are on a treadmill that runs at full speed the whole of the working day.
Having been monitored so closely at work the last thing I want on my car is a dash cam so some insurance company can criticise my driving :o all the way home.
Yes it protects you, but the ruddy thing also watches your every move.
No one is perfect, in work or driving a car.
I get fed up with being expected to be some sort of machine or extension of a machine.
Sometimes other people expect perfection from others, it doesn't make a nice environment to have every second of your life observed and criticised.
If insurance companies arn't criticising now, they will be one day.
Just like my work :o :(

I got one and use it regularly now after a crash in Jan 2015. Wasn't my fault but no independent witnesses so it looked like I was going to be found liable. It went all the way to court but luckily the driver told a pack of lies in his statement and got torn apart by my insurance company's advocate, so I won.
It has the added side effect (for me) of making me more conscious of my own driving and so, I think, makes me a better, kinder driver.
