Davkaus Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Did you get one in the end @Stevo985 After another near miss today, I was reviewing some of my footage and realised on half of them I can hardly read a plate, definitely time for an upgrade.

Stevo985 Posted May 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2019 Nope, haven't invested yet. Wembley this month might mean it gets moved to next month again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Do those that have a dashcam do rear view too or is front alone enough? Thinking about getting one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of having wires dangling everywhere irks me. Edited April 29, 2021 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to get one to be honest, I think they're a lifesaver these days. Regarding the wires I think if you get the camera from somewhere like Halfords they install them for you and hide all the wires and stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're generally very safe drivers but have been known to potentially break the speed limit on occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I put mine to use for the first time a few months back. Driving to school, approaching a roundabout when across the roundabout a car was just exiting was hit in the side by a car joining. I pulled over on my way back from school and told the lady, and her husband who had just turned up that I had the footage. It seemed like a simple case but it turned out the woman who drove into the other car was a clearing in the woods. First she called the police and reported the car she hits driver for harassing her because she insisted on insurance details. Then she told the insurer that it was the other cars fault (she was unaware of given them the footage). It turned a potentially messy situation where a horrible woman got away with crashing into someone into the insurer agreeing that this woman was indeed to blame and they’d cover it.
