All our trucks at work are built in @sevenfourate
Interesting. Your a Professional driver by day Kev and that's part of the territory i guess.
99.9% here are doing out of choice....

Are you peeps running dash-cams not worried about the possibility of incriminating yourselves at some point......?
Or does that just 'not happen' in the real-World; only in my mind
We have full telemetry in the trucks from doors opening to how hard you brakeInteresting. Your a Professional driver by day Kev and that's part of the territory i guess.

In my world I never speed. I have spirited drives within the limit - probably sounds boring, but I like to think I'm quite a considerate driver.
One of you guys should come out with me for a day????????Not just about pure speed alone though is it.
The terms: driving without due care and attention, reckless driving, wanton and furious driving etc all spring to mind; and any of those could take mere milliseconds to occur in a lifetime of otherwise completely law-abiding driving.

The Thing I hate the most is night time when a car is on your near side passenger door and rather than just go by they sit thereAmongst my job titles are Hi-Ab operator and Banksman / Slinger / Signaller.
I drive a 7.5t Hi-Ab equipped vehicle at some point virtually every single week and we also have a Hi-Ab equipped, flat-bed HGV my boss uses. I'm often out with him assisting various moves and lifts we are undertaking.
So maybe not as much as you Kev. But i see plenty of real-World driving too. From members of the public in cars to the supposed Professional driver. And pretty much every day never fails to amaze.....
I wish I knew what the hell I was looking at! It's like a transformer!

Still trying to find oneWe don't get into much night-time work as most of our stuff is within say 100 miles.
We leave that to you proper drivers
So - back on track. No-one installing a dash-cam on a private car worried about incrimination ?
You can always swallow the memory card, not that I would have any experience of this...So - back on track. No-one installing a dash-cam on a private car worried about incrimination ?

OMG....Really ! What an unfortunate even't that must have been
I'm only kidding I don't do anything silly behind the wheel as life changing accidents can happen within a split second. Although I think i'm ok in saying that most drivers with a dashcam don't drive in a fashion that would be deemed risky/careless. However I do remember a biker being done for posting a video of himself travelling at excessive speeds.OMG....Really ! What an unfortunate even't that must have been
I'm afraid it's not that simple when it comes to putting in a claim mate. It's not unheard of drivers to admit they were at fault at the scene and then change their story afterwards, and without any proof you'll have to settle for a 50/50. Come renewal time, you'll be shafted for some other plebs inept driving, as not all insurance companies increase premiums if you have a non fault accident.I can't see the point in these dash cams? - if you hit someone in the rear, it's your fault, if someone hits you in the rear, it's their fault. One of the only scenarios where it's useful is if someone hits you head on from oncoming traffic, and if that happens you could quite probably be killed.
Am I missing something?
