I'm pretty sure new cars are storing this information anyway.

  If you have Progressive Snapshot or a similar device, that's storing driving data, but which cars do so by themselves?

    Almost all modern cars have an Event Data Recorder as part of the SRS/Airbag system which records snapshot data in the event of a deployment. Here are some NHTSA standards for EDR storage: http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/Rulemaking/Rules/Associated%20Files/EDRFinalRule_Aug2006.pdf http://www.nhtsa.gov/DOT/NHTSA/Rulemaking/Rules/Associated%2... Here's a list of vehicles supported by one consultant's forensics software: http://www.rimkus.com/uploads/pdfs/Event_Data_Recorder.pdf http://www.rimkus.com/uploads/pdfs/Event_Data_Recorder.pdf

  Insurance companies will need to jump though hoops to access that data in a fender bender where you still have possession of the vehicle. If you provide it (in a dash cam video that's evidence that you shouldn't pay) you're giving them an opportunity to deny the claim right there. There's also a lot of cases where traffic is doing 20-over and 20-25 over is criminal in most states
