Dashboard Cams Are Useful

This is the General Lounge for most things to do with our roads. Indeed, most of us, at some time, use the road system in some way. With this in mind, users may post their experiences or observations here.

Just get one to protect yourself.
Providing you are a safe driver at all times then anyone who makes mistakes on the road wont be you and you'll have proof ;)
We managed quite well before them.

They are only about £15.00 nowadays. The cheaper ones are no use in the dark but are very good during the day time.

The man who drives for a driving school close by me has one cam in the front and one out the back. I guess the schools are protecting themselves thinking that they will not be to blame. If anyone hits a learner it will be their fault. It sort of makes sense :mrgreen:

I do detect a little sarcasm :mrgreen:
It makes sense for all car drivers to be covered front and back.

Dashboard cameras are really cheap now.
My friend has just bought a good one from ebay and its very clear, even when the video is transferred to the PC.

I got a cheap dashboard video camera from ebay it was £15.00.
I use it often now and within a few days I had a moron who just wouldn't give way and gave all sorts of hand gestures when he put us both in danger.
I gave way in the end when clearly he should have.
When I told him I captured it all on the dash cam and was going to upload it to youtube he changed his attitude and said sorry.
I felt sorry for him and just recorded over it .... I know, I know, big softy :mrgreen:
I use it all the time.
My other car is a Reliant Robin and you can say what you like!

In China, a dashcam catches a woman defacing a car.
She steals the badge from the front of a Mercedes.
The metal must be valuable :lol:
Or she might just be a vandal :mrgreen:
