Drivers have been warned about the use of dash cams which could seem them risk facing a fine or further legal action. The cameras are illegal in some countries in Europe and drivers are encouraged to check local laws before heading over with their car as a fine of up to £200 could be issued.
Tom Preston, Founder of Hippo Leasing says: “Having a dash cam in your vehicle is the best way to protect yourself in the event of an accident or an insurance claim. Not only can the footage captured be used to bring premiums down, it can also be used as vital evidence in court.
"We would recommend motorists be mindful of where they position their dash cam gadget so as not to obstruct their view of the road, and to put it away into the glove compartment when the vehicle is not in use in order to deter thieves.
