Peace of mind.  Some insurance companies give a discount for using them.

Thanks, is this the only reason? My insurance company does not and it is very reasonable, just wondered if there were other advantages as I love techy things and I need to persuade MrsSF of the advantages of owning one.

Can anyone explain the function and reason for owning such things.

When using the motorhome and I drive through a very scenic view I can't always take it in ,so when we get back to site I can put the memory card in the lap top and play the drive back

Removes any doubt as to who might be to blame in the event of a bump or when HGVs decide that might has right

They help your driving too I’ve read. Knowing you have a camera clocking your driving & speed too can alter your driving for the better๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

I have the Nextbase 412GW. I initially only used it in MH, but after I was victim of hit and run in car and me and my son struggled to recall the reg number of offending car as it drove off in front of us I now use it in car all the time.

There is bad driving in most cities now so having a camera reassures me that I can capture evidence if needed. 

It does calm others when they see my camera, or when I point it out.

Thanks folk. Now a question, we have all seen examples of dangerous driving incidents or folk deliberately breaking the law. Do folk feel it would be good or bad form to present evidence of such to the police which is captured on such devices? I must admit there have been times when I'd wished a police car had been around when some miscreant has put other road users lives in danger. After all mine and your loved ones are out there too. Maybe this could seriously 'calm' or modify the way some folk drive if we all together joined the 'dash cam force' against them.

THIS is what the police up here have set up for reporting miscreants.

Not used it myself but have been very tempted on occasionswink

It’s like with everything MM, ‘you pays your money & makes your choice’ my Dcam has a choice to display my reg, my location & speed-I choose all๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Now that's interesting, had a vehicle pulling a 'trailer' overtake me in the outside lane of the motorway recently. The unit was exceeding 75mph in my view and was severely bouncing around the carriageway. The long line of HGVs drivers, myself and others the miscreant was determined to overtake I'm sure were all questioning this behaviour. Don't have a dash cam but with police forces as open to assistance as this I reckon they are a good thing.
