saved my ass
Tonight, coming around a corner around 55 to 65mph, I see 2 deer run out right in front of me. Man did those big blue shiny brakes save me!!!
I hope I dont gotta change them now. I was braking like a mother... |

After heaving braking, always good to let the brakes cool down before parking the car. That means driving easy for a 1-2 miles at decent speed (air cools).
If you don't do that, and you park your car.. the extremely hot pads and rotors will engage each other (in park), and leave a deposit on the rotors. Then tomorrow you will be braking at a light wondering what POS car around you needs a brake job.

You think she was trying to get hit to screw you out of some unfair compensatory damages?

No she was just F**king stupid, but I run a Blackvue Camera all the time in this M5 just for such occasions, so got some evidence.

Can the camera footage actually be used in a insurance claim John?

YEP it sure can, I use a MAC but the "File transfer/save" does not work on them yet, so I use a Windows machine to "Convert/Export" and it changes files to MP4 which can be watched on any media and transferred any which way, so you have your evidence or at least time and place ,conditions, map co ordinance , and events.
