I have a dash cam but it's to use as evidence if I am in an accident, I'm not sure I would use it to send footage to the police. Would you?

makes for interesting viewing if nothing else, lol

The problem with Dash Cams is that they can also condemn your driving as well...speed, positioning, courtesy, etc....not to mention the bad language I use when driving

Don't think I would share mine

I like this idea . How many times when driving some idiot will put you or other users in danger and you think if only a police car was around...

Yup same, once I get annoyed (other naughty work that gets taken off here) I can tend to swear quite a lot lol.

This is true, there have been many times whilst driving I've gone only if I had a dash cam lol or only if the police was around!

I have the mic turned off on mine 😉

Every dash cam has pc software that lets you turn off/on speed sound etc ... before exporting the video 😉

They are a good idea. As I feel the level of driving is getting worse in the uk! 

They're supposed to help reduce your insurance as well! ;) 

@niedzial1983 you done this before by any chance? XD

@Steve Q indeed it is, and the insurance thing is deffo something that attracts me. 

I`m looking into fitting a dash cam in my car to cover me in an accident, its just a matter of which one the market seems flooded with them now and i dont want an expensive one if i can help it, not worried about a mic on or off i`m a calm person and dont really react to anything thats going to get me into a road rage situation 

currently looking at buying this one

I have the Nextbase 112. Some insurance companies have reduced insurance for Nextbase cameras. It records in 3 minute videos and overwrites when the card is full. It has collision detection so locks the current video if in an accident.

It also starts recording if your car moves like someone hitting it in a car park.

you may have to have it installed by a garage as insurance ppl probably will ask for a proof of some sort that is was done to a standard
