Aviva has developed the Aviva Car app , which transforms a driver 's smartphone into a dashcam , recording journeys on a short , unsaved loop that can record a collision and add the footage to the app . Nearly half of all dashcam users began using the app within the past 12 months , according to Aviva . The increase comes after 80 % of drivers were unable to prove they were blameless for an accident , a study by uSwitch found . Dashcams are becoming increasingly popular with motorists; around a quarter of drivers now have one mounted on their dashboard, recording what’s happening in the road ahead of them. Dashcams could lead to cheaper car insurance too , though only a small number of insurers offer price incentives .
