Mandatory Dash Cam: What's your take?

[_Cathy_]

A government official (I think) mentioned on TV that they are proposing to the LTO to make dash cams a requirement when registering a vehicle (the interview was related to the adventure and motorcycle recent accident)

I want a dash cam for myself and I'd be forced to spend on one if this is implemented. I've been postponing my purchase since I find the entry USD80-100 price expensive. I don't wanna buy a cam that is cheap since my car has dark tint.

I wonder if they can implement this with PUVs such as Jeepneys and motorcycles (helmet cam), And how will private vehicle owners react.

how about the padyak and tri-cycle?

ok sana, kaso practicality mahirap implement yan. gagawin lang ng jeepney drivers eh magkakabit ng dashcam pag magrerehistro na, or pag mahuhuli na. at i bet most of the time eh hindi nagrerecord ang mga dashcam nila. at sana wag lang maging money making scheme ito.

dapat eh yung gusto talaga magkabit ng motorist ng dashcam at hindi yung mapipilitan lang. how about government subsidizing sa presyo ng dashcam para ma-engganyo ang karamihan magkabit.

If they're going to implement anything mandatory, I would hope that all license renewal are required to retake exams, road rules and practical exam, and revoke the license if you fail.

James Deakin is also proposing this


Iba kase ang kilos ng tao pag alam nilang naka video sila

How can the LTO compel jeepney drivers to use dashcams that will draw power from their jeepney batteries? These drivers don't even switch on their headlamps at night.

Reality check: P1T - P1.5T is not cheap for the public utility driver. Sa mga Tsikoteers dito, yakang yaka yan.

Operators perhaps but again, they will pass this cost on to their drivers/lessees in terms of higher boundary rates.

Most PUV drivers already have cellphones which cost a lot more than P1.5k. (whereas I have one that costs 700 bucks. )

It's not a negligible expense, but in the overall scheme of things, it costs a lot less than other government regulations.

The government can even offer a registration rebate for all PUV operators once the bill is passed.

Here is one for just P 550.00

Good yan.. para ma avoid yung haka haka kung sino ang tama at mali..

[dishcom]

Sa mga PUV dapat dual camera. Para for saferty narin ng passenger. Para incase ng holdap e may recording din..

Sa ibang bansa pag my dashcam bigyan ka nila discount sa car insurance.

That is good.

Come on Lew Alcindor, better take the chance to have somethign that might make a difference than not do anything. Wala naman mawawala kung lagyan dashcam kahit private vehicles lang muna irequire.

Last night MMDA has proposed soething to this effect, yung puwede na ireklamo na mabilisan mag pasaway na drivers. Basta may video lang na malinaw. I forgot what project is that but obviously mas okay ito kasi sa adjudication court ka na magpapapliwanag hindi sa TE, iwas din nag sa kotong.

Better do something than nothing imho.

But aren't those cheap dashcams no good at night especially on tinted cars?

Pretty much. Even more expensive brand name cameras in the 3-5k range are pretty crap at night.

But if your front tint is too dark for those to see anything, then your front tint is too dark to really be legal.

Cheap cameras are crap for identifying plate numbers and faces, but at least you have evidence of whether you, personally, are at fault or not.
