I have had my dash cam for a few years now and it ran fine. I looked at it the other day and found it had quit recording the week before. I could not find what was wrong with it so I will get another one.
Moral of this tale, check your dash cam frequently as you never know when you might need the video of an incident.

 

I had 2 instances when a dash cam would stop recording. Both were caused by a defective memory card. They definitely have a life span

 

That thought had occurred to me but I figured it was not the card, I shall put in a new card and try. Thanks for the suggestion.
The camera was not working when I was in Brampton, which happens to high the highest insurance rates in Canada due to the poor driving of the locals.
I hate going into that town I would sooner drive in Toronto in the rush hour.

 

180, Brampton must really be bad because I've been to Toronto in my 04 red coupe in rush hour and I didn't think that it was much fun!

 

I tried a new card with no success.
I have now got a Garmin 45, let’s hope this one lasts longer. This one attaches to a magnet which sticks to the windshield. The old one used a sticky tape to attach the base to the windshield and then I removed it using dental floss and cleaned the area with alcohol.
