Best £10 you'll spend for a while

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by davek, May 1, 2014.

  1. Recently I had a young lady pull out on in front of me and decide that she'd not really bother accelerating away. BUMP! Straight into the back of her. She apologised and admitted liability etc.

    Got claim through and she's now saying I ran into the back of her - said she'd slowed down to let someone out and I just ran into the back of her. The insurance companies were going for a 50/50 as it was my word against hers.

    So downloaded the video from my carcam and that was the end of that! No NCD loss, no increased premium and no £250 excess to pay thanks to this

  2. :thumbsup: That was a good investment! Carcams seem to have plummeted in price since the last time I looked at them last year.

  3. I fancy one of those, but do you fit it and remove it each time you go out, for security reasons?

  6. Yeah it fits on the mount you get with it - pull the power lead out and either remove the mount or unscrew the camera.


    Mine was £20 last year so these have dropped a lot

    Check for phone apps - there are ones out there if you have a smartphone - all you need is a mount then.

  10. And just orderd a class 10 sd card from 7 day shop for another £12. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
     
  11. To be honest I think insurance company's should give one away free with all new policies. How much it would cost them and the potential savings they could save from all the scams.
    Think it would promote safer driving if people knew they had a chance off being recorded.

  17. ^^^ yea whs ..
     
  18. Just got one now need to wire up to movement sensor ........ :) no ones safe lol
     
  19. Trust me the video you get from this is fine - the people who are slagging these off are pillocks who are expecting HD quality from a ten quid camera.

    These will carry hours and hours of footage - if something happens you can leave it running until you get home and download it.
