I've had a dash-cam facing forward for perhaps the last 3 years, and it's weird as I feel it can make you a better driver, as you are aware if something happened, and you needed the footage, well it would not be good if it showed you driving like an idiot!
However, for all the 3 last cars I've owned, with each of them I've been hit in the back by another driver.
Once was a woman who said she had a wasp in the car so didn't stop.
Second was a man who just said hit foot was wet and it slipped off the clutch.
Third was only a couple of months ago, a woman, simply did not judge her stop and bumped me forwards.
Each time I've been stationary for some time at a junction, and as I say, each time in a different car I owned.
This is why I finally decided to fit a cam on the rear. As I say, I like to keep a nice safe distance, and make it a point to never drive aggressively, if there is an idiot, just let them go.
But now, with footage from the back of my car in addition to the front, if anyone goes into the back of me, there simply is no argument.
I can supply front and rear video to the insurance if it's ever needed.
Let's hope I don't need to ever need it |
