Dashboard cameras are becoming more popular

Sales of cameras that fit to the dashboard of your car and constantly record your journey are on the up. They aren’t there just to record your journey down the M1 so you can relive that traffic jam when you get home, they can be very valuable in the case of an accident. Determining the cause an accident, or who is to blame in the case of a police prosecution can be difficult, with video evidence this task can be made a lot easier. Video footage of an incident can also help with insurance claims. It can also help you prove your innocence in the case of a fraudulent lawsuit.

Dashboard cameras start at a little over £40, and often come with extra features, such as displaying the current speed limit on-screen and automatically contacting the emergency services in the event on an accident. This feature could be life saving if you were rendered unconscious in an accident at a remote location.

If you’re interested in a dashboard camera, you’ll find them at most car accessory stores and at many online retailers too.
