Dash cams have recently became all the rage for the avid motorist. Many cyclists starting suing helmet cameras to record the way other road users treated them as they often stated that they were over taken in a dangerous manor, but recently many car, van and lorry drivers have also been investing in cameras. Dash cams range from as little as £20 upwards towards a thousand pounds but most people spend on average between £50 and £100 on one.
They sometimes comes with a dual camera meaning they will record in front as well as behind you and the recording is stored on a memory card. Having a dash cam may even reduce your insurance costs with more and more insurance companies now asking if you have one.
Dash cams can really help if you are involved in an incident as they can actually record what happened rather than it being one person’s word against another. It is like having a very credible witness on hand all the time. Dash cam footage can often be used in court in incidences where insurance companies are disputing blame.
