The #1 Reason Every Driver Needs A Dash Cam

Transcript

One other thing that I wanted to talk about is, is something I didn't recommend, but I do want to recommend to everybody.

Well, if it wasn't for the dash cam that we went ahead and got, um, the other party was actually trying to blame my husband, saying that he swerved. And without that dash cam, it would have been he said, she said. But luckily, with the dash cam, it was able to show that she was speeding and You know, overcorrected and ended up hitting him.

So yeah. I remember you coming in and going, yeah, this lady's blaming my husband for the wreck and saying we swerved into his lane. And we, oh, we happen to have a video. This is several years ago, probably before they were very popular. They've become more popular now. And I go, oh really? Oh, that's awesome. I don't know, it may have been the first client that I had that brought that in actually. And it clearly showed it'd been raining and the lady was coming around the curve and she fishtailed, lost control, and came into your husband's lane and he tried to swerve and T-boned him like in the driver's door.

Mm-hmm.

So anyway, with that video, we were able to say, well, you know, tell the insurance company that your insured is not telling the truth and here we got a video. So it helped us overcome that liability issue by you protecting yourself with a dash cam. In the event of somebody wants to change their story or lie about how the accident happened, you've got video evidence and you don't need to be a he said, she said.

Absolutely.

There's not a witness out there. We got a witness on the video, right? You had another accident, and I guess you still had that same camera in the car.

Yes, but it had stopped working. I just hadn't had a chance to take it out of the window yet. And again, the gentleman in question was trying to blame me, saying that I was at fault. And he just so happened to look at my front windshield and see that it's sitting there, and all of a sudden he went to the police officer and admitted exactly what happened. Even though it didn't work, he didn't know it.

Right. So just having it in your window and him noticing it, and he was trying to blame you, and then all of a sudden saw it, and then changed his story real quick.

Yeah.

And said, I'm sorry to the officer, it was my fault, and confessed to the officer for you. So without that, uh, he may have gotten away with, uh, lying about it. And when we have those Those are always difficult, so especially if you don't have an independent witness that will confirm, you know, our side of the story. But we've got a video that confirms it. Here it was just the fake camera. It was a real camera that didn't work, but he thought there was going to be video evidence that he was going to be caught lying, which is worse. We just had a community event not too long ago that one of the things that we were giving away as prizes is Mm-hmm. So a lot of that came from you guys and having, having overcome that liability.
