Staged or not. A complete fraud or not the value of having a dashcam is immense.
I've recently installed front & rear cameras and they have already "caught" a couple of erm... "interesting" driving events.
No collision or injury but very very easily could have been:
A T bone at considerable speed for hurtling through a red light (3 cars incl me had already stopped) and
A head on while driving on the wrong side of the road (past a pedestrian "island" with the blue arrow bollard) straight across the face of a junction, again at considerable speed.
Oddly both cars were "souped up" with extra aerodynamic add ons and exhausts bigger than my silencer. Both events were in built up areas with a 30mph limit.
If drivers want to play fast why don't they get a competition license or do track days and find out how good they really are?
Andy.
