One of the must-haves in every car these days is a "dash cam", which can record critical evidence in the event of an accident.
"Tachograph" in our China can be described as the "patron saint" of every car, with it is no longer afraid of someone touching porcelain, to bring a sufficient sense of security to the owner.
However, why in some countries in Europe, it has been opposed by everyone, and the installation of a dash cam is even a prohibited illegal act.
What is the secret behind this, and why do some European countries not allow the installation of dash cams?
Buying a car does not give a dash cam, but every car owner is willing to pay for it
The "dash cam" is the "guarantee" of every car owner, and the mainland's "Road Traffic Safety Law" and other regulations encourage drivers to use camera equipment to record traffic conditions, which not only helps to determine the responsibility for accidents, but also provides strong evidence in traffic disputes.
We have seen a lot of social news, that is, an aunt suddenly came out of the street, lying in front of your car, and then found a few helpers, saying that you hit the person.
There are no cameras nearby, and pedestrians who come and go see this scene and don't know why, they will naturally think that what they are seeing is the truth, and they will think that it is your responsibility to hit someone.
At this time, if you have a dash cam in your car, then the aunt can be regarded as "out of the teacher" and encountering hard stubble.
At this time, it can be described in one sentence, that is, "Don't panic when you encounter everything, first take out your mobile phone to take a picture of the circle of friends", and then dial 110 to tell the police what happened.
During this time, you don't even have to get out of the car and waste a conversation with her, you just need to lock the doors and windows, and wait quietly for the police to arrive.
Then when the police came, turned on the dash cam to show the traffic police, and everything disappeared.
Although this is a waste of time, it will still be dark in my heart, and this feeling is like "I like the way you can't get used to me and can't kill me".
Not only that, some "dash cam" supporting reversing images, for driving whites and novices, it is simply not too friendly, when reversing, you can clearly see the rear situation on the screen, help the owner quickly park the vehicle, to prevent the car from being scratched.
It is enough to see that dash cams are very popular in China, largely because of its popularity and wide application in the Chinese automobile market.
So why is it that such a good car tool is controversial in European countries, and even explicitly banned, why is this?
Which countries in Europe prohibit the installation of dash cams and what are the reasons?
In some European countries, the use of dash cams is completely banned.
In a country like Austria, if someone is found to be using a "dash cam", you may face a huge fine or other legal consequences.
In some European countries, it is possible to use a "dash cam", but there are certain conditions for use.
These countries include France, the United Kingdom, Russia, Malta, Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Spain and Serbia, which can be used, but are not allowed to infringe on someone's privacy and image rights under certain circumstances.
Of course, there are also governments that prohibit and recommend bans, including Belgium, Portugal, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
But there are also some strange countries, such as Germany, he does not prohibit you from using the dashcam, but the images in the dash cam cannot be published or used as evidence, or need to comply with specific privacy protection regulations when using it.
This suddenly didn't make the "dash cam" lose its original meaning, originally installed this gadget just to be able to photograph the truth that proved what happened, this only let the shoot not be used, and it has no value.
These different regulations are mainly motivated by respect and protection of the privacy of individuals.
A dash cam is capable of recording audio and video information during the vehicle's driving, including the faces and actions of other vehicles and pedestrians.
If this information is misused or leaked, it may violate the privacy rights of others and give rise to disputes.
Therefore, some European countries have imposed restrictions and regulations on the use of dash cams in order to protect personal privacy from being violated.
But at the end of the day, the popularity and use of dashcams in China and European countries is influenced by a variety of factors, including privacy and data protection, regulatory restrictions, and cultural differences.
While dashcams are popular in China, they may not be available or restricted in other countries.
Do you think dash cams are necessary? Feel free to leave your comments......
