Should all new cars be fitted with dashcams as standard?
If you think no, why not?
If you think no, why not?
My question would be... Why should they be fitted?
If it's for big brother purposes... Then, no thank you...
I would like them to be integrated, say, into the rear view mirror so they are unobtrusive.
There's already too much crap on people's windscreens with another stick-on......
Also, as I change my car frequently, it's a pain having a dashcam uninstalled then reinstalled in the new car so wires aren't dangling all over the place.
Just remember, they can be used to prove that you've been a pillock just as well as the other guy.....
Can't see it becoming law but I can see it being fitted to new cars.
Short term - possibly.You wouldn't have to if all cars had them, you'd just swap the memory card
Exactly!
Wouldn't that improve peoples driving?
Short term - possibly.
The vast majority of bad driving results in near-misses at worst.
Unless a law is broken it's not going to stop people driving like idiots.
And would the Police be able to cope with the vast increase in work as a result..?
Would it not help decrease the police work Ian . Less time investigating stuff most if which is lies bn told to them ?
As the cam records their speed would that not encourage them to drive slower?
Unless they are involved in a crash, nobody else will see the speed.
They already have a Speedo, they know the limit,there are speed cameras....
This isn't going to make a difference in that front.
But if the boy racers know that every car is fitted with a dashcam then every car around them will be a potential speed camera
The manufacturers already have the technology for speed control of your car via GPS, but havent taken it further simply as the vast majority wouldn't buy into the "best for you" scenario.Ok, but how is that data going to get to the end point of a speeding conviction..?
It's not just the Boy Racers who speed, by the way..it's virtually everyone.
And a dash cam can't measure someone else's speed can it.?
And how accurate are they in tracking your speed..?
I don't know....
