One insurance company 'Adrian Flux' offers up to 15% discount for dash cams being installed - UK supplier. I did see that one of the dash cams also records data from both sides and the rear of the car using G-sensor technology for side impacts. Insurance companies love data!

I've had a cam in my car for 2 years now and have just changed it for the new front and rear ones. I think it's a great idea.

If its that bad you wont be able to write a cheque or remember your PIN number either, so the police wont be interested

Only joking folks, our boys in blue are fine upstanding public servants and in no way are they the military branch of the inland revenue.

I fitted mine purely for capturing the last hour prior to any collision, just to prove my defense, should it be questioned by the other party. I know this will sound unusual these days, but I would also be prepared for it to be used if I was to blame. It would be nice if everybody could be relied upon to give honest testimony, but that is not the norm, so you need a little extra help. Of course, insurance companies actually encourage 'dishonesty' by making a condition of the policy, not to admit liability at the scene.
