About Us
We are committed to promoting driver safety with the goal of making roads safer and saving lives. Many traffic fatalities result from distracted or reckless driving, and we strive to provide resources that encourage responsible driving habits.
We believe dashcams are valuable tools for protecting yourself and your property. Our platform offers guidance on using dashcams effectively, including tips on capturing, editing, and reporting dangerous driving incidents. Our goal is to help drivers make the most productive use of their dashcam footage.
What We Offer
We provide essential information on:
- The benefits of using a dashcam
- How to properly install and use a dashcam
- Editing and managing dashcam footage
- What to do with recorded videos
- How to report unsafe driving behavior
Our Goals
Our mission is to educate drivers, not to penalize them for mistakes, in hopes of fostering more responsible driving. However, we also aim to identify habitual reckless drivers and use dashcam footage to report them to law enforcement, motor vehicle agencies, and insurance companies.
We are striving to:
- Advocate for stricter enforcement against repeat offenders caught on dashcam
- Encourage responsible driving behaviors
- Support changes in traffic laws regarding reckless driving caught on camera
- Modernize reporting systems, as many agencies lack proper procedures for handling dashcam submissions
Our primary purpose is to inform registered vehicle owners when their car has been recorded driving unsafely. Awareness can lead to behavior change, ultimately making roads safer for everyone.
Reporting an unsafe driver can offer a variety of benefits, both for your safety and the safety of others on the road. Here are some of the key advantages:
1. Prevent Accidents and Injuries
By reporting unsafe drivers, you’re helping to prevent potential accidents. If a driver is engaging in dangerous behaviors (e.g., speeding, tailgating, erratic lane changes), bringing attention to it can help reduce the risk of crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
2. Help Law Enforcement Take Action
Authorities can investigate the unsafe driving behavior and, if necessary, issue warnings, tickets, or even suspend the driver’s license. This encourages safer driving habits and may deter the individual from continuing their dangerous behavior.
3. Protect Other Drivers
Unsafe driving often puts everyone on the road at risk. By reporting such behavior, you are contributing to a safer driving environment for all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorists.
4. Improve Insurance Records
If unsafe drivers are reported, their insurance companies may take action, such as adjusting their premiums or requiring them to take driving courses. Additionally, this may be used as part of an investigation if the driver is involved in an accident.
5. Hold Drivers Accountable
Reporting unsafe driving encourages accountability. Drivers who engage in reckless or dangerous behaviors should face consequences, which can motivate them to drive more responsibly in the future.
6. Assist in Fraud Prevention
If unsafe driving is a result of fraudulent activities (e.g., staged accidents or false insurance claims), reporting can help prevent fraud. This protects insurance premiums for everyone and contributes to a more fair and just system.
7. Protect Your Legal Interests
If you’re involved in an accident with an unsafe driver, reporting their behavior helps provide evidence in case the incident leads to legal action. A documented history of unsafe driving can strengthen your position.
8. Promote Public Awareness
Reporting dangerous driving sends a message to the community that unsafe behavior on the roads is not acceptable. It can promote a culture of safety and encourage others to report reckless driving as well.
9. Insurance Claims Support
In the event of an accident, especially one involving an unsafe driver, your report may assist in filing an insurance claim. It provides evidence of the driver’s behavior, which can help in resolving claims efficiently.
In essence, reporting unsafe drivers benefits the community, promotes safer driving practices, and can prevent future accidents, making the roads safer for everyone.
