Dash cam sales are booming as drivers seek ways to protect themselves against false claims in the event of an accident, with 18 of cent of UK motorists believed to have one fitted.
Their unsung virtue is that simply by catching an insane manoeuvre or someone cutting you up on the motorway, you feel better about it, without even needing to take further action. I’ve only ever bothered to send one clip, among many, to the Met (a driver raced blatantly through a red light, performed a wild U-turn in the middle of a busy junction, then sped off through another red) and they didn’t even respond.
