Accident cameras and potential blowback..?
A quick look at these - most of the just-above-basic models include not only recording of the scene ahead but also GPS logging so that you have a record of where exactly you were, speed etc. Of course video evidence would be very useful if say, you were (as I was on my bicycle some 20 years ago in Totteridge Lane) going along the main road and someone looked straight through you and pulled out from the golf club straight into your path.
Now here's the question - say you happily produced your video of the minute before the crunch, with you pootling along in your car at 38 in a 40 when someone pulls straight out from a side road into your path, giving you no time to stop - clearly their fault. Would not their insurance company ask (or an interested policeperson who happened to be in their patrol car two cars behind) for the last 40 minutes as well - in which it is possible that you'd needed to listen carefully to something you weren't quite sure about in the exhaust / gearbox sound at 7000rpm in 4th and inadvertently exceeded the NSL?
Interested in the wisdom of the foristas.
