If you use Facebook then you have probably seen several videos from Dash Cams in Russia. I started to wonder, 'Does everyone in Russia have a Dash Cam?' The answer is, well almost everyone. Last year Wired posted an article, "Why Almost Everyone in Russia has a Dash Cam." http://www.wired.com/2013/02/russian-dash-cams/ Here is what I learned:
- Motorists have the Dash Cams to use in case they are involved in a traffic crash
- Russia averages 25.2 traffic fatalities per 100,000 compared to 13.9 per 100,000 in the USA
- Conduct a search in YouTube or Yandex.ru (Russia's equivalent of YouTube) for 'Russia Dash Cam crash and find thousands of videos
- Dash Cams capture more than just crashes, some funny, some interesting
After reading the article I thought it would not be a bad idea to have a Dash Cam in my vehicle for practical (car crashes, road rage) and impractical (you never know what you are going to see) reasons
Our own PI Sam has done a video to demonstrate how you can install your own inexpensive Dash Cam.
Thank You PI Sam.
