It’s not that big a thing but a lot of ‘experienced’ drivers prefer to have one about because it makes insurance claims so much easier and trying to work with the authorities to help establish events is a mind-numbingly painful process. Things go much smoother if you just present the video evidence and can wrap things up.

So yeah, all it does is just record continuously about a day’s worth of footage and anything you want to keep can be easily grabbed off in the even of an accident, otherwise it just gets scrubbed and re-recorded.

I think the majority of drivers in Russia have dashcams. It’s basically an essential car component because of how cheap they are (I think I read £50) and because they provide documentary evidence in the event of a crash, insurance claim, fraud, road rage and cops wanting a bribe to let you off of an imagined traffic offence.

How many people have cameras running continuously on their dashboards? Is it from police cars, for example?

This was awesome not just for the asteroid thing itself but also for leading to the montage dashcam videos. Amazing.

Russia’s just such a big and tempting target…
