Russia "Dash-Cam"
Just two days ago I was watching ABC news when a story appeared on these things called dash cams in the cars of Russians. This is not a new concept in Russia but it got me thinking why we don't use them in America. The primary use for dash-cams are to figure out who is at fault in an accident. They also aid in finding "crooked" police and catch crazy accidents. For example last week when the meteor went over Russia, thousands of Dash-cams cough the footage, the cameras are just great ideas. This blogs primary purpose is to touch on the issues in america... the fact that Americans have not adopted this technology is an issue. These cameras would make drivers more conscious of there choices on the road and could even stop accidents from occurring. How many times have you been in an accident and the "fault" has been arguable? That would no longer happen with the dash-cam. One of the biggest perks is the illumination of finding the "runner" in a hit and run accident. The camera would pick up the plates of the car that made impact and the search would therefore be easy. Its like forcing people to walk around under a big spotlight with a camera in front of them, I guarantee you if we did that it would lead to less murder, rape and robbery. Dash-cams are great ideas, its now time for america to implement them. I know I would feel a lot safer if I knew there was a camera that could record everything. Its not like this technological equipment doesn't exist.. public and school buses use them and even some taxis. Its time to implement them in residential cars and make the world a safer place with less confusion. Comments??
