dash cams

[miggie72]

cant make up my mind if they are good to have or if they could end up backfiring and prosecuting yourself??? example... if your involved in an accident and your dashcam says you was over the speed limit at the time.

thoughts and experiences??

That's the dilemma....I certainly don't have sound switched on (my dialogue could be construed as aggressive towards other motorists) and I also notice that I tend to drive more considerately when the dash cam is running.

So it can be used to moderate your driving style but also as you say, it can condemn in the event of an accident where it is your word against theirs.

You don't have to forward to footage to insurance companies though but in the clear-cut case of the other motorist being at fault then it's a definite 'must have' driving accessory.

hmmmmmm still undecided.

thanks for input.

Truth be told, footage makes for great entertainment on YouTube but I can’t see the real value of owning one.

I definitely think there is pros and cons but I also think that the majority of drivers are wary of using them.
