If you've watched a lot of youtube videos of accidents, you'll have noticed some cars tend to make a noise (ping, bong, something like that) as they crash. What is the point of this? To wake you up? Bit late isn't it?
And why do you need to be told something way more obvious than a bong that you've crashed/there's no fuel/there's an air bag in your face? That would be like me beating you to death then telling you I just did so. Pointless information!
In that case the timing might suggest that, but it sounds nothing like a metallic collision, but more like an electronic noise. All the others I've seen do not coincide with the actual crash, but are a second or two before or after it.
It's clearly an artificial noise through a speaker.
Its to let you know that the recorder has registered it so the little black box can be removed by your insurance company and see what happened, Some air bag actuators do this, though to be honest if one goes off you bloody well know about it!
I guess they are not allowed to go Bing, as that would upset Microsoft.. grin. Luckily I no longer need to try to watch such clips. Also how many are still filmed by bystanders in portrait mode not landscape? Brian
I fail to see how it can be difficult to hold a phone sideways. In fact most are intended to do that as a webpage etc will turn round as you tilt the phone.
Mine don't they are on all the time . Which can get pretty annoying when the edge of the carriageway is bounded by a wall or by street furniture etc.
They can be silenced once activated so :- pull in 'ding ding ding', parked; ding continues until you press a button on the dash and binging stops, but the parking sensor is re-armed again so no bing now but when they would next be activated they are ready to go.
Traffic queuing at lights "tyres and tarmac", in nose to tail traffic I wouldn't get within parking distance to the car in front (12"?), it actually annoys me these people that think getting right up the chuff of the car in front(couple of inches or so) somehow gets them up the road quicker . Don't get me wrong massive gaps between cars makes the queue longer than it has to be, goes back over other junctions etc but 12" seems to me a reasonable gap
