A dash cam can be a great way to lower your insurance premiums and give you peace of mind that if you ever get into an accident, it'll be easier to show that it wasn't your fault. It can also be a good deterrent for thieves who may otherwise try to steal your vehicle, and if you ever want to add some road footage to your travel vlog, they're a convenient and hands-free way to record it.
