Sounds like more ways for insurance companies to a) charge you more based on behaviors they arbitrarily determine are “bad”, and b) take your payments for years/decades then never pay out because they say something you did on video makes any accident your fault based on some term buried in the 500 page contract you obviously didn’t read all of.

They already do “a” by taking vehicle blackbox info uploaded by dealers or via telemetry and increasing your rate via their risk analysis. Note, your rates never go down for good driving. Only up.

Score one more point for fucking bikes, Jesus...

Now about all those CCTVs

No way in hell I'm buying a car with that BS. I'll ride a bike first.

Every new car. So congrats on further destroying the new car market, good job.

It's not wether it's easily fooled or not. The thing is, I am not sure most of us agree with this regulation. So is this democratic after all?

And if it is, then people are dumb, stupid.

Kind of a good idea if (and that's a big fucking if) the videos just were properly protected. I mean how else could you prove cell phone use after a crash?

They don't have the know-how and interest to protect the videos though so fuck this.

I always bought old used cars anyway.

The U.S. as well

Nope, fuck-no, not even close. Never going to fucking happen. I have dashcams inside (pointed out) but I keep the mic muted because I don't need any of my ramblings recorded publicly.... (I also have it set not to record speed.. for obvious reasons)
