<prompt> Human: In my opinion, everyone should have a dash cam. It can potentially save you thousands of dollars if you get into an accident. It doesnt matter if youre a good driver, because guess what? Other people arent. And youre driving within inches and feet of those people every day, especially in the city.One of my friends just got into an accident when another car ran a stop sign along with speeding and t-boned her on a country road. Guess what? The guy is pointing the finger at her and there were no other people around so no witness. I have never been in that situation before so I dont know whats going to happen, Im assuming shell be going to court over this. If she had a dash cam, it would be an easy win for her.You can find a cheap dash cam on Amazon for sub 100. The really nice ones are around 300 or so, still pretty cheap for what it does. The one I have is around 150, HD recording, starts automatically when the car turns on. Records in a 90 minute loop.So if you dont have a dash cam in your vehicle, I HIGHLY recommend you invest in one ASAP.rroadcamrdashcamEDIT: Man, this blew up overnight. Ill try and go through my inbox and respond. Been getting a lot of questions on how dash cams work and how to wire them. There is no wiring needed, you dont need to be a mechanic to do this. I know absolutely nothing about cars. All you do is take it out of the box, attach the camera to the mount that comes with it. Put the mount suction cup to your wind shield. Plug it into the lighter charger and youre done. Its really that simple. When you turn on the car it will start recording automatically. You dont need to touch it. It records on a 90 minute loop and stores 18 five minute videos on a SD card that comes with it. What if it gets stolen? Well, I live in a safe area so I never have to worry about that. If I lived in the city I would definitely take it off and store it in the glove box or out of sight somewhereThe dash cam that I have is the KD Links x1. So everything that I said is specific to that camera. Id post the link here but people would probably get upset and accuse me of trying to make money. So just go to Amazon and look it up. Its a great camera and awesome customer service.Assistant: A dash cam saved me from 3 accidents, and made me 0 at fault on all 3 of them.I had a guy reverse straight into me trying to park, then threaten to call the cops saying I rear-ended him. I told him I have a dash cam with footage, he ended up paying me 130 for the minor damage to my bumper and we split up. I still have the footage, and a year later, no claim.Some lady swerved into me on a curved on ramp, scraping my whole left side. She claimed I was merging into her lane and hit her. Dash cam footage clearly showed her going into me, her insurance paid me out the full repair bill, and my insurance didnt even list the accident or any claim.3rd event was actually the first one, but most important. I was going straight on a 2 way road. The car heading opposite direction was making a left turn, crossing with my lane. I had to swerve out of the way to avoid t-boning him, and the accident scene looked like I merged right into him, causing the accident and the scrape on my left side. If it wasnt for the dash cam video, showing clearly I tried to avoid the accident, I wouldve been blamed 50-50 if not 100. With the dash cam, 0 fault, no accident or claim on my history and his insurance paid out all the damages to my car.Please, get a dash cam. Google some reviews, the 50 one is great. Im currently using KD links x1, and their customer service is the best ever. My battery pack expanded from heat and a year of use, and was out warranty. A few exchange e-mails later, I received a brand new dash cam at no cost. TL;DRBuy a dash cam, best case scenario you can prove youre not at fault and avoid the headache of he saidshe said. Worst case scenarioyoure at fault, you say it wasnt on and try to settle for 50-50. But, be honest guys. If youre at fault, youre at fault.Human: Here are some real examples of a dash cam saving you . Thankfully, I have never been in your situation. We also have the same dash cam. I can confirm their customer service is A  <response>: Im thinking if a dash cam is discreet and has parking mode, perhaps it could also save money in preventing theft or have a higher chance of catching a thief. A relative recently had a rear car window broken into and items stolen.
