Protecting Yourself on the Road: The Benefits of Dash Cams!
At Bartlett Automotive, we prioritise your safety on the road. Dash cameras are increasingly common in today’s busy driving environment and can be a valuable tool.
Here's how:
Peace of Mind in Case of Accidents: Accidents can be stressful, and recalling details can be challenging. Dash cam footage provides an objective record of events, aiding in accurate reporting and claim processing.
Dispute Resolution: Accidents with an unclear fault can be frustrating, especially with denials of liability. Dash cam evidence can demonstrate your innocence, potentially expediting claim resolution and saving on premiums. It can also deter staged accidents (“cash for crash” scams).
Beyond Collisions: Dash cams aren’t just for accidents! Use them to capture scenic road trips or record unexpected events while driving. Police may also request footage to assist investigations.
Choosing the Right Dash Cam: With various features and brands, consider online forums for recommendations and value comparisons. Higher-end models may offer high definition recording, even featuring AI voice controls such as Alexa.
Enhanced Security: Parking mode, a feature in many dash cams, puts the camera on standby, but activates recording upon impact or car movement. This is helpful in hit-and-run situations.
Emergency SOS: Some high-end models provide Emergency SOS response. If involved in an accident, the dash cam can alert emergency services to your location and allow pre-saved medical data entry (blood type, allergies) for faster treatment.
Options for Every Budget: Prices range from £30 to over £400, so you can find a dash cam that fits your needs without breaking the bank.
