Thank goodness for having a dashcam

Can't watch Realspeed. It says the video is private.

Certainly clear cut blame there RS and yes, dashcams can be invaluable evidence in a shunt, a picture's worth a thousand words eh...

Sue was dead against having a dashcam in either car but I insisted. She is now pleased I fitted one in each car.
There can't be any dispute as to who was to blame
Personally i think it should be made law that every car had one,
None of this it was the other drivers fault crap

Re: Thank goodness for having a dashcam

Same with the Honda Civic estate i bought Sue. It came with one of those sqwerty emergency things. Now way was I rfelying on that and thank goodness I didn't. Got hold of a "get you home" wheels/tyres of the internet.

Not long afterwards the car went into a water filled hole in the road and ripped to tyre side wall. The AA guy said to her back then thank goodness your husband insisted on a proper spare. It would have meant towing to a tyre repair place or home from Brighton to Bexhill

Re: Thank goodness for having a dashcam

Did the other driver fall asleep or something? He/she seems to have a problem getting out of the car. Unbelievable! Particularly as your wife managed to stop in time and they still drove into her. That driver should be taken off the road as they are no longer capable of controlling a car.

I can't stress enough about getting a dashcam. A well known motoring shop will even fit it for you. Had mine for a few years and saves a load of arguements as to whose fault etc

It is something I have been thinking about for some time so will look into it.

Re: Thank goodness for having a dashcam

I think it looks like the chap was looking to his left, saw nothing was coming and pulled out. He forgot to look to his right as well. I have seen this often.

Same as people crossing the road that only look one way instead of both.
If he'd have pulled across the road to the other side even it might have been avoided - just - but he not only pulled out without looking, he cut the corner too, so was on Sue's side of the road as he drove forward.
