UK newspaper article

In the Independent.
Article is quite good, but the comments are getting into the old age cycle V car argument. 🙁

I'm reading now and about halfway through. It's a little funny that when I happen to read an article based in USA it mentions something along the lines that DashCams are popular in the UK because of Flash for Cash and then I read a UK based article and it says DashCams are popular in the USA, but not so much in the UK.

I've seen reports on The BBC about Cr/Flash for Cash, ether Top or Fifth Gear did a review segment on them and Channel 4 did a documentary on false insurance claims.

In the USA I have only seen the segment on ABC about Flash for Cash, a segment on the Daily Show a small segment on the Russian meteorite and a small segment about YouTuber Bad Drivers of Napa. No one here really seems to pick up on what a great driving aid they can be yet. I'm hoping DashCams might get a mention on the next season of Canada's Worst Driver as they seem to be taking off with more exposure.

It doesn't help the cause when they use a photo of a dashcam stuck right in the driver's line of sight - this also encourages manufacturers to continue making big, ugly cameras rather than encouraging them to look for the stealth option.

I just noticed that, and for this being in a UK paper isn't the driver on the wrong side?

"they" think that they are driving on the correct side and rest of the world drive on the wrong side 🙂
