In
2017 and beyond, the best investment that you can make for your car is to buy a
dash camera. What do they say that when you are on the road you have to assume
that you alone are the sane person and all others are crazy?
Well, that might
be a good attitude for a motorist, but tell you what … no matter the
precautions that you take, some other jock is always having a bad day and is
liable to cause an accident. It is best to hope for the best, safest ride, but
at the same time, be ready for the worst, with a good camera. Today, some car
insurance providers also consider dashboard cam evidence in determining who was
at fault for the accident.
