Let’s look at some of the benefits of using a dash cam, no matter what type of driver you are or in which state your car operates.

Dash cams have become increasingly popular over the past years. Initially used by truck and taxi drivers, nowadays most people are seeing the benefits of installing a dash cam in their vehicles, even law enforcement agencies have become more familiar with dash cams over the years.

Let’s look at some of the benefits of using a dash cam, no matter what type of driver you are or in which state your car operates.

What’s a Dash Cam?

A dash cam is a small video camera mounted on the dashboard or windshield of a vehicle. It’s used to primarily record the view of the road and traffic through the windshield. While dash cams are legal in most US states, some of them have regulations. For example in Florida, Michigan, Illinois, and Montana, both parties, that means the driver and passenger, must consent to the recording of any audio recorded from within the cabin. Luckily, some dash cams don’t record sound, making it easier for drivers to use them without requiring consent, as they’re only recording what’s in front of them, not the passengers.

5 Reasons Having a Dash Cam

There are many good reasons to install a dash cam. Keep reading to learn some of the most significant benefits of using a dash cam for regular drivers.

1. Evidence in Car Accidents

Have you ever been in a car accident? If you have, you probably know the importance of proof when it comes to settling insurance claims. Having a dash cam serves you as first evidence if you’re ever involved in a car accident. By having the recording, you can show real-time proof of how the accident occurred. Immediately, you can have real-life evidence of precisely what happened, instead of having to deal with a case of she said, he said.

2. Helps Prevent Insurance Fraud

Some people out there will stage intentional accidents hoping to get paid by the other’s insurance. When your dash camera is recording, even when you’re parked, you can look at the footage to provide first-hand evidence of what happened. By having this footage, you can prevent unnecessary payment to others looking for some sort of compensation. Not to mention having a dash cam lowers your insurance rates with most companies.

3. Captures Crime

Crime occurs when we least expect it. Everyday crime often occurs with no witnesses nearby. Have you ever been in a parking lot and your car has been damaged with no explanation? Having a dash cam helps you see exactly what happened. Or has your property been stolen from your vehicle? You can’t trust that security cameras will be able to capture what happened. But, you can trust your dash cam to record everything, including the audio of the people who vandalized your car. With a dash cam installed, you can rest assured you’ll be protected.

4. Other Uses While Driving

Dash cams have evolved tremendously in the past years. Beyond recording what’s happening, new dash cams have features such as GPS and real-time notifications of your trip. It also lets you record different trips under the same files, so if you ever need to come back to find evidence of a specific car accident or a crime your camera recorded, you can easily navigate the user-friendly dashboard to find the files you need to prove your case.

5. Records Others Driving Style

If you’re a concerned parent or spouse that wants to supervise your teenager or partner’s driving style, a dash cam can serve as a real-life reference. Having a dash cam allows you to check-up on their good or bad behavior while they’re driving.

Having a dash cam comes with many advantages, especially if you have long commutes or live in high-traffic areas, where you’re more likely to be involved in a car accident. By recording critical moments on the road, a dash cam can easily come in handy in so many situations. If you’re ever involved in a car accident, most likely you’ll reach out to a car accident lawyer. When you do, let them know that you have a dash cam installed in your car. They’ll be able to explain precisely how you can use the recordings for your case, and how it can help you reach a settlement faster than otherwise.
