After getting hit by another driver’s vehicle in traffic a couple of weeks ago, I’ll now always have a dashcam working in our vehicles. My sedan was hit by a pickup truck and my car spun 180 degrees, backing over a median and winding up in oncoming traffic here in Naples, Fla. The other driver lied to our mutual insurance company by saying I changed lanes and hit his jacked-up vehicle with large tires and rims. A dashcam would have easily shown I had not changed lanes. Of course, the company took the easy way out and said we’d both have to claim on our own policies (again, naturally, he had a scuff on the large tire and rim from hitting me on the back quarter panel, while my car remains in the shop). A dash cam would have easily proved my case. Ah, well … I got this shot of my basic model dashcam in action on Sept. 16, 2022, as I ran a late errand in our now-shared SUV.
