I’ve been reading several posts about which dash camera is best, which one has the clearest pictures etc. The reasoning goes that if you’re in an accident you can prove who is at fault…..what happens if you’re at fault? Don’t want to pick on anyone but one of the posts had the video from the newly installed dash cam to show everyone how clear the video was. Well, it also showed him blowing right through the stop sign in his neighborhood. Lets face it most accidents happen by ‘accident’. I’ll be the first to admit that I am not always paying attention like I know I should be, or maybe I’m following too close, or speeding, or trying to make a turn at the last minute because I was distracted. Sometimes the he said vs she said works in your favor. I’d like to have video of some of the beautiful places we’ve driven through but I don’t want video of some of the ‘bone head’ moves I’ve made over the years. Safe travels to ALL.

I guess if you had blown through a yellow light, you really don't want to show the cop the dash cam. Only use it to your advantage?Did you see the video's of the astroid going over Russia? Dash cams are used in a ton of cars, because rear end accidents are prevelant, and proving you are not at fault is up to you, so they had dozens of people submit their dash cam video's on youtube. Anyway I have one, I just don't use it much anymore. Fred.

So, you're telling me that you would lie to get out of responsibility for an accident you caused?

The insurance companies tell us to not say anything but name rank and serial number. He didn't say he would lie. I just noticed you post from DC, the lie capital of the country :).

The dash cam might help you to be a better and more cognizant driver. It has also helped to determine others accidents in front of you. If your kid was to take the car this would be a great teacher as to the kids faults in driving. As a parent I'd want to know the facts.

I guess if you are going around running red lights and stop signs spending the money on a dash cam to prove your innocence is probably not a wise investment.
