Default Why I strongly suggest installing a dash camera on your car

Hello
A few years ago my SC430 was totaled by a truck driver when the driver backed into me with his 18 wheeler.

When he got out of his truck, the first thing he said was, “Why did you hit me?” I told him I didn’t, he knew that and the CAMERA on my rear view mirror will prove that. He returned to his cab, I called the police and informed him on what the truck driver stated.

Later, I spoke with my insurance company and he stated if I hadn’t had the camera and with no witnesses, it would have been my word against his.

I highly recommend a dash camera. Mine captures video from the front and rear of car. It just might save you some trouble one day. Available on Amazon for $90.

Hi
It was the TOGUARD 10” Dual Cam for $99 on Amazon.
Fits over the rear view mirror. No complaints. Easy to install.
I will find the video when I have a free moment.
Good luck and Thanks.
