The Dashcam
Written by oliviawallwork
The dash board camera is ubiquitous in Russia – which I recently discovered after watching this video. Apparently it is because Russians would prefer to rely on video footage, as opposed to eye witness statements, in courts, due to the corruption in the police and rife insurance fraud. Blooming heck, I would not like to be a pedestrian in Russia, never mind a driver…
“You can get into your car without your pants on, but never get into a car without a dash cam,” Aleksei Dozorov, a motorists’ rights activist in Russia told Radio Free Europe last year.
But it doesn’t only capture pretty graphic and brutal road accidents…. the dash cams also captured the Chelyabinsk meteor which entered the Earth’s atmosphere on February 15th this year!
