We bought a new (to us) car last year, it’s the biggest investment, bar the house, that we’ve made. Of course, it’s comprehensively insured; however, that doesn’t stop us wanting to be careful while driving.
We’ve heard of the rise of ‘cash for crash’ insurance scams and it’s very worrying. We used to live near a couple of the hotspots – Halifax and Manchester – and still visit the areas on occasion. Dash-cams are devices that would come in very handy if we were ever to be involved in one of these incidents.
Having a dash-cam installed could prove to be invaluable when making a police report or car/personal injury insurance claim. You could buy one for as little as £35.00 from your local Halfords store – and they’ll even fit it for you then & there for another £35.00.
