Thread: Dash Cameras

Who knows, it may or may not be happening here already but reports from UK for some time have incidents of cars at intersections where the driver 1, with the right of way, waives driver 2 (without ROW) on, as if in courtesy, then the driver 1 drives speeds up and crashes into the other car with the appearance that driver 2 failed to give way. They must be able to also sue there otherwise it wouldn’t be a worthwhile scam. Of course, driver 2 is on the face of it in the wrong. This scam alone has promoted the use of dash cams over there.

Main use, as already stated is absolute proof of who was culpable in a crash. eg the tourists driving in the middle of the road that we saw recent dash cam footage on TV of. How often do you see newspaper ads of people wanting witnesses to a crash at such and such an intersection. And so on.

Unfortunately, how things are now.

Also had a mate who was threatened recently by a road rager, no crash, just an idiot running back as though he was going to belt my mates car. All caught on my mate's dash cam.
