The evidence value of driving recorder in traffic accident driving recorder (Dash Cam) is a kind of camera equipment installed inside the vehicle, which is used to record video and audio during driving. With the advancement of technology and the decline of prices, more and more car owners choose to install driving recorders. In addition to providing recording and playback functions during driving, driving recorders also have important evidentiary value in traffic accidents. This article will explore the evidentiary value of driving recorders in traffic accidents, and analyze its impact on accident liability determination and insurance claims.

First of all, the driving recorder can provide an objective record of the accident process. After a traffic accident, the parties often have different statements and memories, and the existence of a driving recorder can provide objective evidence to help determine the true course of the accident. Through the video and audio recording of the driving recorder, you can clearly see the moment of the accident, the driving track of the vehicle and the status of the traffic signal. These objective evidences can help the traffic police and insurance companies to more accurately judge accident liability.

Secondly, the driving recorder can help determine the responsibility for the accident. In traffic accidents, the determination of accident liability is very important for insurance claims and legal proceedings. The driving recorder can provide detailed records of the accident process, including information such as vehicle speed, braking conditions, and vehicle location. These data can help traffic police and insurance companies analyze the causes of accidents and the attribution of responsibility. For example, if the other party's vehicle runs a red light and causes an accident, the driving recorder can clearly record the state of the red light, thereby proving the other party's violation.

Additionally, dash cams can provide evidence to support insurance claims. In the process of insurance claims, the insurance company needs to know the history of the accident and the attribution of responsibility to determine whether to bear the liability for compensation. The video and audio recordings provided by dash cams can be submitted as evidence to insurance companies, helping to expedite claims processing. At the same time, the driving recorder can also record the handling process after the accident, including communicating with the other party, calling the police and the status of the accident scene, etc. These records can be used as evidence to support the investigation and judgment of the insurance company.

However, there are also some limitations and controversies about the evidentiary value of dash cams in traffic accidents. First of all, the video recording range of the driving recorder is limited, and it may not be able to fully record the whole process of the accident. Secondly, the recording of the driving recorder may be affected by factors such as light, angle, and image quality, resulting in insufficient clarity and accuracy of the recording. In addition, the privacy issue of the driving recorder also needs to be paid attention to, especially when it involves the privacy of others, it is necessary to use and process the relevant video data carefully.

To sum up, the driving recorder has important evidentiary value in traffic accidents. It can provide an objective record of the accident occurrence process, and help identify accident responsibilities and deal with insurance claims. However, we also need to recognize the limitations and privacy issues of driving recorders, and use and process relevant video data reasonably.
