Other benefits include:
Safer journeys
More cautious drivers will be aware of your camera and potentially drive safer around you, avoiding road accidents.
Protection from fraud
There have been many reports of people faking accidents and then claiming against the motorcycle rider’s insurance. If you have footage of the incident, you will be able to prove what really happened and avoid any fraudulent claims.
Valuable evidence
If your motorcycle is stolen, a dash cam can provide evidence to the police that can help them track down the thieves and recover your bike. Additionally, if you are wrongfully blamed for an accident, your dashcam will provide real evidence to help support your claim and prove your innocence.
Lower insurance
Some insurance companies may offer discounted insurance if you can prove you have a dashcam fitted to your motorbike. This may not be applicable for all insurance companies and should be checked with your individual provider first.
