Are there Russia-level[1] dashcam ownership rates, by any chance? That would certainly happen if you had any such law in Britain, because many cyclists are infamously reckless.
[1]Sure most people have seen all the 'crazy Russian dashcam' videos, but if not, just have a search on Youtube. In Russia, everyone has a dashcam because otherwise, insurance will try to wriggle out of paying out in an accident, plus people like to jump in front of cars, get hit, then try to sue the driver.
- zorbo 12y agoNo, I've never heard of anyone having a dashcam in the Netherlands. I've also never heard of (liability) insurance companies not paying out. Jumping in front of a car in order to sue for damages is pointless here, since you cannot sue for emotional damages. Since insurance pays for physical damage only, there's simply no point in trying to commit fraud in that way.
