The main threat of such "entertainment" is that in the event of an unsuccessful "run," the driver has almost no opportunity to brake in time before a child, and can cause serious injuries, even fatal ones.
If you notice schoolchildren on the sidewalk filming passing cars, expect trouble. In such a situation, it is better to ease off the gas in advance and prepare for emergency braking if a child suddenly runs onto the roadway.
Being involved in such an incident can result not only in moral stress but also in legal problems. Therefore, it is highly desirable to have an "electronic protector" — a high-quality dash cam that will record all circumstances preceding the accident.
It is important to remember: the device must have UkrSepro certification. This way, the driver will be confident that the recording is carried out within legal norms, and in an emergency, they will have a serious advantage in court proceedings.
The dash cam must be equipped with a G-sensor — an impact sensor that saves emergency videos protected from overwriting in a loop. Additionally, loop recording should work in two modes: separately for regular files (allocated 70% of memory) and separately for videos activated by the G-sensor (30% of memory).
If the driver presses a special button on the body during recording, that video will also be protected from deletion and will remain on the card until manually erased.
The recording made by the dash cam must be clear and detailed at any time of day. Therefore, when choosing, you should look not only at resolution but also at optics: a six-layer glass lens, a wide aperture, and a sensor of at least 1/3 inch.
And most importantly — in any difficult road situation, do not lose composure to avoid aggravating the situation, and always back yourself up with high-quality recording of all events before the accident.
