Unfortunately, we have all encountered the people on the road who seem to be oblivious to how their driving affects others. It may be that you are following someone that is driving far too slow, too fast, tailgating or overtaking in silly places. Over the past few years that has been a massive increase in the number of people doing “crash for cash” scams where they slam their brakes on causing you to go into the back of them then claim off your insurance company for personal injury plus the damage to the vehicle. Sometimes these people work in pairs so it can be very hard to avoid such accidents.

A dash cam might be the best purchase you make when it comes to accessories in your car. They are there to record what is happening on the road and have helped to prove fault when there is a dispute. They can also be used to report dangerous drivers to the DVLA and/or police.

Some insurance companies offer a discount to people who are willing to use a dash cam in their car, often they stipulate it has to be a certain model, but this can save you money whilst also helping you with crucial evidence you may need.
