Scots tourists warned as dashcam law puts drivers at risk of hefty fines this summer

UK holidaymakers who drive abroad with dashcams fitted into their car face risks of being hit with staggering fines.

A dashcam is the latest car accessory which can offer a watchful eye over your vehicle when you're not around. The onboard camera continually records the view through the front or rear windscreen, which can help identify anyone who attempts to steal or damage your car.
