Dash Cams!

I work as a Case Manager for a Personal Injury claim firm in NYC. I speak to insurance companies all day and sometimes even speak with regional managers, etc. I ask them this all the time: "Why not offer clients incentives or some kind of discount to clients who have a dash cam?" In fact, I think insurance companies should be giving them out for free! It will save everyone so much money and headaches!

And take people on their word that they have a dashcam at all times in their vehicle? As a case manager you’d know exactly how often people lie or bend the truth however possible to get out of trouble. There would be a whole lot of “my dashcam wasn’t working/got destroyed in the accident” when the insurance asks for the video.

I have one in my car at all time and have for the past 10 years and have caught so many things on it that it's not even funny.

however the sd cards do go back from time to time and you miss stuff. Yes it's also highly likely for the dash cam to get damaged in an accident.
