Dash cams .. Didn't know this ?
 

Drivers are being warned that using a dash cam in some European countries such as Austria and Portugal could lead to huge fines.

linky :eek:

Good uk should do same:bowdown:. Nice one Europe (by the way I voted for Brexit:D)

Your Navi GPS stands in the car that is your private property
 

Your Navi GPS stands in the car that is your private property... therefore police isn't allowed to look into phone or GPS contents, unless special justice requirement...
And also... - speedcameras are forbidden since approx 2012, but being soon turned into safetycameras detectors, with enlarged hazardous areas ("zones de danger" starting earlier than a radar advice and finishing later too), fully legalized... whenever you did the available software update!!!

So, Navi voices telling you yesterday about a "radar" now says "attention, zone de danger"...
vs my Wikango 600, being but a detector, also bought for my RHD MGTF to show my driving speed in KM/H (digital numbers helping better than the english little characters below the miles ones in my dash). ;)

So where is this wer part of Europe rubbish, if we are a Euro area we should all be under the same Laws shouldnt we ? no lets make it really complicated so we can screw the English....


Euro is a joke....:mad:

Totally disagree. If it wasn't for dash cams the amount of "crash for cash" incidents would spiral out of control, not to mention the fact they can actually reduce your premium.

(Brexiteer here as well)

From the article:

and
So that means it's illegal to share photos (video is just multiple photos played consecutively) taken in public places if they contain faces or registration plates unless permission has been gained from those others appearing in the photos?

So basically, most holiday photos people take are illegal? So why aren't holidaymakers being stopped and having their devices searched?

Doesn't make sense to me, why discriminate against drivers using a device that actually helps road safety, individuals and the police, yet if I were to walk on a beach in these countries my face would appear on goodness knows how many Facebook albums without my permission and without the culprit facing any charges.

Ali :shrug:

Why should the UK do the same? What don't you like about dash cams?

If some idiot crashed into you and then blamed you for the accident, dash cam footage would be worth it's weight in gold to prove your innocence . . .
