    The idiot who took the video was also driving himself at the same time! As reckless as the stupid driver in front of him.

      Yeah I’m thinking of getting one too as I’ve heard it’s hard to prove you weren’t in the wrong when the front of your car and the back of their car is damaged even if it’s their fault.

        Don’t even begin to delude yourself. I’ve got ten years plus as a claims consultant – hit another vehicle in the rear, and it’s your fault. Period.

          So if someone cuts in front of me and slams the brakes on and i crash into the back of him cause i cant stop quick enough (e.g when its peak hour traffic and the idiot wants my lane) its all my fault… i think not

      Are you sure you watched the same video? It’s perfectly clear he’s holding the device.

    I’d love an in car DVR to capture the crazy on Aussie roads though I just know my car would be broken into within 30 minutes of it being installed.

    Living in the inner west and I’ve had my car borken into twice in 2 years despite there being nothing to steal.

      Probably says more about the car you drive and where you choose to park it.
