This tunnel is long and has zero light, so it's a great test for night vision.



Compare that with how it handles bright mid-day sun:

If your front view camera shows you staying in your lane then being hit from the side there's no need to see the side view, they left their lane and hit you.

Remember - 85 MPH.

That is spectacular and exactly what I'm looking for. All my attempts to grab license plates to date have been stymied by poor freeze frame quality.

BTW, there are aftermarket sellers out there that make a circular polarizing filter (CPL) that will take care of those reflections from the windshield.

Yeah... that's on my hit list. I have some used polarizing film at work that might do the job.
