  Advice on Avoiding a Crash for Cash 30 May 2014 (News)
  So if someone crashes into you, you can prove whether you were stationary or moving, and at what speed and in which direction, as well as recording the G-forces involved in the impact. "Many people are also using dashboard cameras to record their journeys - again, the evidence they deliver can be invaluable in disproving a fraudster's allegations. The best of these are GPS based so they record the precise location and time as well as a video of the incident itself.

  Alfa GT Coupe Makes £16,450 at Auction 21 Jan 2005 (News)
  Sorry I forgot my camera again, so the picture is a stock shot. The Alfa was a 4,752 mile 04 reg 2.0JTS GT Coupe and it started promisingly enough at £13,500. But one dealer appeared not to want to see it go cheap, so kept bidding until he owned it, for £16,450 and, of course, an auction price precedent was set.

  It's also quite interesting to see how the scenery has changed in the intervening years, though - and you'll spot some lovely cars in the background, assuming you're not transfixed by the SD1 doing its bit... Enjoy the video as it's replayed on ITV's Police, Camera, Action. It's truly hair-raising stuff.

  Commenting on the figures, Debra Williams, managing director of Confused.com said: "Speed cameras don't always capture an accurate picture of the person driving. Shadows or sunlight reflecting off the glass can obscure a person's face resulting in a lucrative black market for point swappers."

  Classic ad of the week: 1980 Ladas 13 Feb 2015 (News)
  And to stress the point, there was the constant backdrop of wildlife to fit in with each boast, 'The Ladas, each has an extra-thick skin' ran the voiceover, while a rhino headed towards the camera. As for the 'underbody corrosion protection', that was apparently a match for the toughness of a crocodile. All of which seems rather odd, considering how rust-prone your average Lada could be after a few years spent in Britain.

  VIDEO: Dash cam footage shows taxi driver's escape after 75mph crash 1 Feb 2017 (News)
  Trying to avoid capture, Grindle overtook another car, drove the wrong way down a one way street and crossed a give-way junction without slowing.  The taxi's VisionTrack VT2000 camera captured the moment the teenager's Toyota RAV4 loses control after hitting another car. The Toyota then spins in the air and crashes into the taxi. Despite the serious damage caused to both cars, no one was seriously injured.  Judge Neil Flewitt, QC, said it was 'a miracle' that no one was killed but decided not to jail Grindle, now aged 18, because it was his first offence.  Grindle, who was working in a garage, had bought the Toyota and was preparing to take his test when he panicked after police asked him to pull over. He was given 10 months in a young offenders' institution, suspended for two years, and banned from driving for two years.
