On the no fault claims I've had, I've chased the other losses independently of the vehicle damage.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

How much was your cheap dashcam? Do you have a link to it? Is it a plug in the cigarette lighter and play job?

Mine is a nextbase 202 (I have one in each of my cars ) about £50 if I remember correctly it has been replaced with a new model the 212 now available for approx £52-65 (ebay amazon etc ) I have added an extra power socket behind the glove box wired into the fuse box so comes on with ignition you can get a hard wire kit aswell costs around £20

Good news about the witness. :thumbsup:

Hopefully that will help you recover all costs in full.

Thanks for the info I'm looking for one I can plug into the cig lighter. Don't want the hassle of wiring it in.

You might want to look at this one (link) - fantastic cam, links to your phone so you can download (or even stream) the video, lots of storage. I have the larger version on my zed (link) which has the GPS also. I just installed the smaller one on my son's car. Excellent piece of kit!

It's a good job that Discovery drivers are in a different class from Range Rover drivers!
Just about to say the same Rick

She also never looks at the dash as the reversing camera would have been on.

That is scary in itself - why do you need a camera when you presumably have eyes in your head that work!

Because when a low car like a Zed etc., stops close to a high car like a Disco or Range Rover, they hide underneath the line of sight of the rear view mirror.

Surely that is what door mirrors and parking sensors are designed for?!

My parking sensors can pick up something a low as a kerb, so what is wrong with Chelsea tractor ones - or is that why their drivers seem to have a tendency to run over their offspring from time to time?

The answer was to the question asked re the camera and mirror. I agree tho, there' s no excuse with all the aids on a modern / tech sophisticated car.
In any car the driver is the weakest link !
