How can I mount a dash cam without a lead trailing down?
Having had the disappointing experience of being side-swiped by a lorry and the driver then claiming it was my fault, it's time to get a dash cam. One thing that bothers me, though, is that if I mount it behind the mirror then the power lead will hang down distractingly, which I don't want. Is it possible to mount them on the top of the dashboard?
In terms of choosing a dash camera, we'd recommend having a read of our guide first. It explains the legal situation when it comes to positioning a dash cam which is definitely something to consider before you buy one. Essentially, it can't obstruct your view of the road: kit.honestjohn.co.uk/dash-cam-buying-advice-guide/
