Mandatory Dash Cam: What's your take?

[111prez]

Rather than pass this on to the consumers, why not make this a mandatory feature for all vehicles and make this a built in part of the vehicle's safety system.

Sure, the cost will be passed on in the vehicle retail price but the economies of scale will make the cost of an individual dash cam far more cheaper than if the consumers will buy this directly.

Even MB is toying with, or already has some built in, cam/FLIR system for their vehicles already. Other vehicles have all around cams already to assist in parking.

Given how cheap dashcams are nowadays, not difficult to implement. You can buy a POS dashcam for just 1.5k.

If they don't keep them on, their problem... if you have no dashcam recording of any incident you're involved in, that can be added as a violation on your part, to the tune of another 2k.

+1. 1.5k cheapest ngayon. Kung mapatupad to, baka bumaba pa presyo dahil sa volume ng bibili ng dashcam.

And i agree iba ang galaw pag alam na may camera. Lalo na mga kotong cops

For what ? Another stupid goverment official recommendation. My recommendation is fire that goverment official as likelihood he/she has connection with dash cam supplier.

Impossible to have a monopoly. There are so many suppliers and so many multiple avenues for importation that you can always get the same thing cheaper if you hunt around.

They might be able to word the regulations so that they can exclude the cheap-ass cameras... but it will be difficult to create an exclusive regulation set that favors only one supplier.

They could make business selling dashcams outside the LTO offices, but you can't sell them inside.

Feature bloat. A dashcam installed as standard equipment means they'll charge you for the cam and then charge you for the warranty and whatever add-on value... but it's definitely possible.

Yung nabili ko nga less than P1k (after discounts sa Lazada). And yes it saved me from a possible kotong incident.

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.

yung ugat muna ang puntiryahin nila..

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.

saang planeta ka ba nakatira at di mo alam na may olx, ebay at lazada?

gumagamit na ko.

More than a year ko na ginagamit SJ4K ko, as helmet cam pag nakamotor ako at as dashcam pag sasakyan gamit ko.

regarding sa mga PUVs, madalas mga toda sa amin ang nakukuhanan ko pag Sundays. Ginagawa kasi ng DPWH ang portion ng kalsada samin kaya panay counterflow mga tricycle. Tututukan ko at hindi ako tatabi (parang yung sa post sa TGP). Maya-maya bubungisngis na ang driver kasi kita nya ang dashcam ko. Meron pa nga nagtakip ng panyo sa mukha. Pinapadala ko kasi mga screenshot sa fb page ng LGU namin. Pinapatawag nila ang mga driver sa POSD para magseminar. hahaha

i would agree on this. kaya nga lang may enforcement and compliance loopholes lalo na sa mga PUVs.
