I have; and I tend to agree with Alan, you just end up with a lot of film of basically nothing. I have mine set to 720p which uses 10MB per hour so you need a large SD card. It is set to start filming when you turn on the ignition so I also have a lot of film of me opening and closing my garage door and gates.
There are lots of modes probably the best is where it records for a fixed period then over writes, the only thing with that is that you have to remember to stop it if you were involved in an incident.
I bought mine ages ago from China (where else?) for about $40 (£20).
