Whether it is a novice driver or a driver with many years of driving experience, the first thing after buying a car, in addition to applying for a license and going through the procedures, is to install a dash cam. It can be said that in the mainland, this has become the standard configuration of the car.
It's just puzzling that this good thing, which can record road conditions and become strong evidence in case of disputes, is banned in European countries, and it can even go to jail for it.
What's behind this? What foreigners scoff at is actually regarded as a treasure on the mainland?
The reason for being disabled
In the 70s of the 20th century, Europe was the first to develop this kind of equipment that can be installed on vehicles and record in real time, and then it was very popular with consumers, and it was not until about 2009 that Chinese came into contact with this thing and began to use it after acceptance.
It can be seen that the dash cam first appeared in Europe, why was it banned later? From invention to ban, it is actually related to the local culture and social environment.
On the official account, an article related to the ban on the use of dash cams in many European countries was published, documenting the real events and the reasons for the ban on the use of the device abroad.
A driver in Germany handed over the dashcam on his car to the police. Over a two-year period, more than 50,000 violations were recorded on the device. Such a huge number is really rare.
I thought it was a good thing to help the police, but I never thought that after reading these records, the police took the young man to court for violating other people's privacy.
You know, the dash cam has not yet advanced to, only shoot the violation picture, as long as the vehicle starts, the equipment will start to work, recording all the pictures on the road. The driver's equipment also recorded some normal, non-illegal pictures.
These actions of videotaping other people's vehicles and actions without their permission are an invasion of privacy and a violation of citizens' information protection laws. In the end, this kind driver was sent to reform.
Unlike in Germany, unlike in China, the footage captured by the dashcam cannot be made public or used as evidence. It seems that this device is just a thing to record the footage, and has no more use, and may even go to jail because of these pictures.
In some European countries, privacy is extremely important, and this kind of behavior of taking pictures of the driver's personal and vehicle information without their permission is an infringement of personal privacy and an unforgivable behavior.
Secondly, there are cameras all over European countries, and there are few blind spots for monitoring, just to ensure everyone's safety. This also means that the use of dash cam is very unnecessary, if there is an accident, the monitoring will record.
Of course, not all countries in Europe strictly prohibit the use of the device, and there are countries that allow the use of the device, but the premise is that the recorded video cannot be made public without the consent of other drivers.

The necessity of installing a dash cam
In some European countries, dash cams are not allowed to be installed in order to protect personal privacy, but because of different national conditions, the mainland is allowed to install the device, which can also be used as evidence.
As people's living conditions get better and better, cars have become a necessary configuration in the home, and even marriage requires a car and a house. When there are more vehicles on the road, the probability of various accidents increases.
In fact, when this device first appeared in China, there were not many users, but as some people saw the benefits of "touching porcelain", there were more similar cases, and drivers realized the importance of tachographs, and slowly became the standard configuration of cars.
Even if it's just hanging on the car, it can have a deterrent effect. Nowadays, almost all cars are equipped with recorders, the most important thing is to prevent the reasonable party from becoming the unreasonable party due to communication problems after the accident.
With evidence in hand, as long as you are the innocent party, no matter how much the other party quibbles and threatens, even if you move out of a related relative, you don't have to worry about panicking, just hand over the recorded content to the police.
Sometimes they don't even need to come to this point, as long as they point to the equipment on the car to the person who "touches the porcelain" or causes trouble, and then say "I have a recorder in the car", they don't dare to act rashly, so they can only leave in a huff.

The device not only serves as a monitoring function, but also a very important tool for communicating information. Usually driving on the road, it's okay if there are no accidents, but if there is a scrape and a conflict, you can directly take out the content of the recorder as the most powerful evidence.
If an accident occurs in a car that is not your own, but you happen to be photographed at the moment of the accident, it can also be used to help others, and the police can clearly identify it through these recorded images when determining responsibility.
Another important use is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of car owners. When some people drive, they clearly drive according to traffic regulations and have no violations, but they are judged to be illegal by electronic eyes. This is because when the equipment is inaccurate and misjudged, the recorder becomes a strong evidence and is exempt from penalty deductions.
This small instrument storage function, relying on the memory card, is the upper limit of the content storage, the owner of the daily use, to develop a good habit of regular viewing, when the memory card is full, to clean up in time, to avoid the device does not work, resulting in want to find the content, but found that it is not recorded.
If you buy a new car, the car is not equipped with a dash cam, and when the owner buys it by himself, he will find that the brands on the market are dazzling, and how to choose the right price and value for money is a very important thing.
Regardless of the brand, consumers only need to pay attention to one thing, and that is whether the product is reliable and functional. After all, even if there are more and more powerful functions on the publicity, it is important that the picture cannot be recorded, and it will break after a few days of buying it.
The device is very popular among Chinese car owners. Because of its safety, it can safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of car owners at critical moments, which makes car owners slowly accept this new gadget, and now it has become a must-have thing on the car. I have to say that the Chinese people's awareness of prevention is still very strong.

Write at the end
In foreign countries, the dash cam is regarded as a "garbage thing" that violates other people's privacy, but in the mainland, it has become an "artifact" that makes car owners feel at ease. In the final analysis, it is the impact of national conditions and social environment.
Domestic car owners should not learn from those car owners in Europe and give up using dash cams, even if it is to save money. In special times, it can not only prevent fines and deductions, but also avoid some unnecessary troubles, and importantly, it can also help the traffic police solve the case and determine responsibility for the accident.
If the car is in a blind spot of monitoring, collides with a person, and there is no dash cam, if the other party insists that it is the owner's problem, it is reasonable and unclear. Don't spend a lot of money just because you save a little money.
