While dash cams have been popular in eastern Europe and Asia for some time, drivers in the UK are becoming more aware of the technology as the footage floods video sharing sites such as YouTube.
Dash cams are small cameras attached to the dashboard or windscreen of a car and they record each journey.
Dashcams can provide valuable evidence of what happened in an accident and can help settle claims more quickly and reduce fraud.
Research from Axa found over a quarter of innocent drivers (27%) were unable to prove that they were not to blame for an accident.
Having a dash cam means you have evidence if an accident is not your fault
The number of insurers that offer a discount for drivers who install a dash cam is growing.
Adrian Flux offers up to 15% discounts while AXA Insurance offers 10%. Admiral Diamond and Elephant also offer a discount to drivers with a dash cam, although it can vary.
Before deciding to take out a policy it’s always best to shop around for car insurance.
