And I think I can concede that my horn pumping was in frustration and in attempt to give him some constructive developmental feedback. (But probably didn't help!) <br /><br />Dash cams are coming down in price: seems as if you can get a decent one for between £30 and £60. <br /><br />I do not plan reporting this to the police or insurance in any kind of official manner. <br /><br />Thanks for your thoughts.Jon Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792245973965010468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1666579996787484678.post-59666605991892886612014-02-11T10:27:23.577+00:002014-02-11T10:27:23.577+00:00Sounds like a "near miss" incident Jon. ...Sounds like a "near miss" incident Jon. I doubt that the local police or your insurer will be interested in being informed, although they should be. Now you've blogged the vrm is on Google!<br /><br />"Dash cams" are rarely used in the UK to my knowledge, although a number of police vehicles do - for very different purposes. They are in widespread use only in Russia, as reported by the BBC after a bombing in Volgograd, Russia; their use is to have evidence of "crash for cash" and to have evidence if stopped by the often corrupt traffic police.

"Crash for cash" rarely happen when the roads are busy, they do not want possible witnesses, so the recorder only needs to be used at quiet times and when you are alone. davidbfpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530167181611729116noreply@blogger.com
