Many people abroad use dash cams and on-board cameras in their vehicles. The purpose is to record their commute or trip and to use it as evidence in a court of law in case situation requires so. For instance an accident where it is hard to make out who was at fault, Or to identify the suspect in a situation where the occupant of a vehicle was mugged or harassed while driving. There are even cameras that can be disguised as something else and can help nab car vandals. A lot of these incidents are on the rise across the country and I guess a dash board cam can make a lot of difference.
I myself once experienced while driving that people wont go on the offensive if they see a camera pointed at them. In my case it was a biker who got pissed when I honked hard at him for riding with a mobile phone to his head and swerving into my lane. He started chasing me and started to hurl abuse at me, My wife and kid were with me. I suddenly told my wife to get the camera and get him on video record as it looked as if he might assault. On seeing the camera the guy took off as fast as he could.
There even dash cam holders to which you can attach your regular camera or video recorder. I believe its the next step in on road security after traffic surviellence cameras in cities. I invite everyone's thoughts on the idea.
