Crash for Cash:

Dubbed ‘hide and crash’, this can involve a fraudster tricking another driver by pretending to give the other driver right of way before quickly moving in front to ‘slam on’ the brakes. Merely having a dash camera can prove vital in not just a crash for cash scheme but in any other incident which may occur. This is important in winning your insurance claims especially with more insurance companies accepting dash camera footage as evidence.

In many events this increase can be more than the monetary value of installing a dash camera. Experienced dash camera users will argue this sole reason makes having a dash camera worth it.
