On another forum I frequent these seem quite popular: 1280P HD Car DVR TFT 2.5" LCD IR Camera Video Recorder | eBay
No affiliation and I don't have one, but for £21 it seems worth a punt...

For example, someone overtook her as she was stopped at a zebra crossing the other day.
That's a dangerous driving charge all day, but she didn't take a note of the reg.....:-(

A mate's nephew was banned from driving on the word of a couple of witnesses, there was no hard proof there.

I find that very surprising I must say.

Has anyone ordered up one of these cheap dashcams yet?
After I posted about this cam I ordered one yesterday and it's been posted by the seller. I will let you know what I think about it when it arrives.
A 720p sample would be nice to see as well, as the ones posted by a seller, as genuine as they may be (!), certainly doesn't beat something posted by a stranger online

The sellers postcode is UB****, where the video shown is the A66 Newport road in Middlesbrough (I know it well).
This shows that the seller is using a stock video and not one necessarily taken with the unit he is selling.
Would be interesting in seeing the actual video from this unit.
Ah, well the seller does say in the listing "Video Sample taken by Buyer" Which is still something that could be "fishy", but benefit of doubt and all that!
