snoop1130 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Insurance premium cut for vehicles with dashboard cams in the pipeline By The Nation The Insurance Commission has asked insurance operators to cut costs of coverage for car owners who use dashboard cameras in their vehicles by 5-10 per cent. The commission says the cameras are deemed a useful tool that potentially promotes safer journeys and more disciplined driver behaviour. The condition for premium cut is that the camera must be attached to the car from the beginning and until the end of the insurance contract.

Sydebolle Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 It is a very useful tool indeed. I get stopped by the boys in brown and asked for money, naturally without receipt for running over red light (which I don't for my own interest and safety). Invite 'em into your car and play the clip - the all leave without a word and don't even close the door ;-) . Happy days are ahead of us; in five years all cars will have factory-equipped dashboard cameras. You then can use your present camera by fitting it into the front left corner which will record whatever happens on the drivers side and drivers window - thereby further reducing the highway robbery. This goes very well in line with caps, sunglasses and mouth protection (which you put on once you're getting stopped); the police will ask you to remove them and you ask them back likewise so as to make sure the picture is clear on the chip of your dashboard camera. Works WONDERS, trust me! And if you drive the same mileage as me every year that cabin camera pays itself within less than a year as there is no tea money hand-out at the drivers window any longer!

Between the Sea and Central Mall it runs for miles long all the way till Walking street 4 lanes wide heavy traffic lots of trucks busses speed 60/90 km pedestrians no rights for to cross and walking on the small beach pavement roads gives u the feeling as if u are strolling on the highway it self.please close the road make it a happy walking zone where people can walk freely enjoy scenery nature make sports fields if u cut of the highway then lots of space comes free.

Looking at the photo, it looks like the dash cam has been photo shopped onto the main pic just to show what a dash cam looks like. Just my opinion.

Maybe because it is still one of the best cheap dashcam ? I have never found any better than the G1W for less than 2000 thb, what about you ?

alanrchase Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 My only concern with this is what happens if the dash cam fails, as they can for various reasons? Would it invalidate your insurance if it failed to record an accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotsira Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 A dash cam is a great accessory to have, especially here in Thailand, it could make the difference of being blamed for an accident that wasn't your fault and also keep the BiB off your back. If insurance companies do go ahead with this idea of being rewarded with a premium discount, then it would only make sense if they request a front and a rear camera to be installed. It's a 50-50 chance that video footage would be beneficial to them in the event of an accident coming in the direction of the rear just as much as from the front of the vehicle.

Not true. I think in most instances the guilty party no longer tries to extort any money. Edited March 12, 2017 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's mounted in the mirror, memory is a regular micro-SD in an adapter (slot is standard SD). No GPS in the camera, but it does have a G-sensor so it saves your accident automatically an prevents the file being over-written. Footage is MP4 and plays just fine on a PC with VLC, obviously you can play back on the camera too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
