Rove's R2-4K dash cam is an extra set of eyes on the road and $48 off at Amazon
Getting into a car accident, even a fender bender, is stressful on its own, but then comes the argument about who was at fault. A dash cam can give you reliable proof of what happened, and Rove's R2-4K is currently on sale for $71.99 ($48 off), an all-time low price at Amazon, and $89.99 ($30 off) from Rove. I tested a previous-generation Rove dash cam, and was happy with the quality of its recordings and ease of use. The R2-4K is a significant improvement, capturing higher-quality video and improving the process of getting it onto your phone. Rove R2-4K $ 72 $ 120 40 % off $ 72 Rove's R2-4K is a dash cam that can record 4K video, automatically create a clip if it detects an impact, and tag clips with information about your driving speed, location, the time, and date. Read More $72 at Amazon$90 at Rove The dash cam can record 4K video at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60fps, and captures a 150-degree field of view, so you'll get a clear image of what happened in front of you and some of what happened directly to your right and left. Its recordings are tagged with the date, time, location, and your driving speed; they're stored on a microSD card, which you need to purchase separately. You can view video clips on the R2-4K's 2.4-inch display, or transfer them to your smartphone over Wi-Fi using Rove's app. The R2-4K comes with a suction mount and 3M sticky mount, both of which can be installed anywhere on your windshield. The suction mount is easier to move, so we recommend using it to find the dash cam's permanent place before you decide whether to switch to the sticky mount. The dash cam needs to be connected to its power adapter with a USB-C cable (two are included), so make sure to mount it in an area where the cable won't dangle and distract you. Under normal circumstances, the R2-4K will take a continuous time lapse recording and overwrite older footage once the microSD card is filled. However, you can push an 'Emergency Lock' button to preserve a specific clip. The dash cam's built-in G-Sensor will detect an impact and automatically lock that section of video. If the dash cam stops recording, it'll announce that so you can see what's wrong. Hopefully you'll never have to use Rove's R2-4K for anything important, but it's handy to have just in case.

Baby boy killed after being thrown from car window ‘because mum drank rosé on beach and didn't strap him in properly'
A BABY boy died after being thrown from a car window because he was not strapped in properly, a court was told. Mum Morgan Kiely, then 19, had been drinking at Clacton beach in Essex with a friend and her young son Harry on July 13, 2022. 3 3 However as they drove away, the car rolled and ended up on its roof - and six-month-old Harry was thrown from his seat through an open window. He died later that night from 'unsurvivable' injuries including a skull fracture. Kiely has denied manslaughter as prosecutors said Harry had not been strapped in his car seat properly. Chelmsford Crown Court heard Kiely was the passenger in a Ford Focus belonging to friend Stevie Steel when the accident happened. Harry was in a rear seat behind his mother. Steel, of Crayford, Kent, has previously admitted causing death by careless driving while over the drink drive limit. Alex Stein, prosecuting, said the young women were driving back from Clacton beach at about 6.30pm when the crash happened. They had met up at about 3pm and bought three bottles of Prosecco at Aldi on their way to the beach with Harry. They stayed on the beach for several hours and were briefly joined by a young man they knew. After finishing a bottle of wine, they left the beach together before Steel and Kiely drove away. The court heard Steel was distracted while driving and hit a parked car on Cherry Tree Avenue in Clacton. The Ford Focus rolled and ended up on its roof, and the two girls were left hanging upside down by their seatbelts. Mr Stein said: "Very sadly, that child's seat had not been strapped properly into the seatbelt, and Harry hadn't been strapped into the seat properly. "Harry was thrown out of the open window out of his seat. "He suffered a devastating skull fracture. It is a very, very sad case." Mr Stein said Harry landed on the road and had no way to break his fall. Members of the public rushed to help, including a retired paediatric nurse. Harry was treated at the scene for more than an hour before he was taken to hospital, where staff continued to try to save him, but he died at about 9pm. Mr Stein said there was nothing to suggest Kiely wasn't a loving and caring mother to Harry and that everything that could have been done to save him was done in the period after the crash. The trial continues. 3

Baby died in car crash after being ‘thrown from seat'
A seven-month-old boy died when he was thrown from a car seat that was allegedly 'not strapped in properly' during a collision. Harry Kiely died from injuries sustained on July 13 in 2022, after his mother Morgan Kiely, then 19, had consumed rose wine during an afternoon at Clacton beach. Chelmsford Crown Court heard that Ms Kiely and her friend Stevie Steel had been 'relaxing in the sunshine' and planned to drive and drop Harry at his grandmother's house before they went to a Wetherspoons pub. A friend offered to take the women and Harry in his car but Ms Kiely and Ms Steel, both described as 'a bit tipsy', went on to drive themselves. Ms Kiely, now 22, is accused of manslaughter by gross negligence, which she denies. The court was told that Ms Steel, 23, of Dartford, had previously admitted causing death by dangerous driving by due care while over the prescribed limit. Prosecutor Mr Alex Stein told jurors that Ms Kiely was the passenger in a car driven by Ms Steel, with Harry in a child seat in the back of the car, sat behind his mother. Mr Stein claimed: 'That car seat had not been properly strapped in and more significantly he [Harry] had not been strapped into the seat itself properly.' He detailed that Ms Steel became distracted, hit a parked car and the car rolled and Harry was thrown out of the car through an open window. Mr Stein added: 'He landed on the tarmac and as a young infant he had no way of protecting himself,' Mr Stein added. 'He suffered a devastating skull fracture. It's a very, very sad case.' Chelmsford Crown Court heard that Ms Kiely and Harry had been picked up by Ms Steel at around 3pm on July 13. They went to the beach but stopped via Aldi on their way where they bought three bottles of rose. 'Tipsy and happy' at time of driving Ms Kiely and Ms Steel were described as being 'just a bit tipsy and happy'. Their plan was that Harry would be at Ms Kiely's mum's home whilst they went to the pub. At the time of the collision, Harry was in a child seat at the rear of the car with his mum in front of him and Ms Steel driving, there was 'no suggestion' that the car had been speeding. The car carrying Harry hit the corner of a parked vehicle, ending up on its roof and Harry was 'thrown or fell' out the nearside window. Chelmsford Crown Court heard Kiely 'loved her child' and there is 'no evidence to suggest that she was anything other than a loving and caring mother'. Mr Stein added: 'Whatever happened that day she certainly did not mean for it to happen.' A 999 call made to emergency services after the collision was played to jurors. During this Ms Kiely was said to have been heard saying 'my baby, my baby, is my baby okay'. Emergency services attended but Harry was declared dead at just after 9pm on July 13. Mr Stein said: 'We will anticipate that she [Kiely] thought she had secured Harry properly. 'No parent would want to admit to themselves that they were the cause of their own child's death, but the evidence we say is quite clear that she failed to look after Harry properly that day.' Kiely, of Ryde Avenue in Clacton, is accused of manslaughter by gross negligence. She denies the charge. The trial continues.
