Are you thinking about getting a dash cam for your vehicle, but you think there might be rules and regulations in Australia against the use of it this is why you are on the fence? To finally dispel any of the outrageous speculations, here’s a rundown of the truth:
Legalities of Dash Cam
The straight up answer to the most pressing question about the legalities of dash camera is that it is allowed Australia to utilise this device, but it must not be used to film something private such as conversations without the consent of the individual. In this day and age of social media madness, people often post the footages from their dash cams immediately without really thinking the potential repercussions it might incur. This is why it is important to think twice before clicking the publish button.
It is a given that dashboard cams provide an added layer of security for the vehicle owner because it allows them to record any activity that happens while on the road. According to legal experts a thousand Aussie vehicle owners are using this device and majority of them are compelled to do so because of its usefulness when it comes to providing potential evidences.
There are dozens of cases wherein recordings from this device has been helpful in dodging fraudulent activities or insurance lawsuits, due to its unbiased nature. The Australian law permits the submission of footage taken from this device to court.
Another thing to be mindful about is the proper placement of the device in your car. This device is automatically included in the list of device that could be mounted on your dashboard and some states have specific guidelines one must follow. Definitely research on this, but the general gist is that the dashboard cam should not obscure the view of the driver. Placing it in a subtle location can help you maximise the use of your device and at the same time adhere to the laws of your state.
Despite all of this, bear in mind that the dashboard camera should not be an excuse to be too complacent when it comes to your personal security. Yes, it is helpful but you need to be vigilant and be conscious of your actions while you are on and off the road. Drive safely to avoid getting into any sort of accident and keep your vehicle locked at all times. This is the ultimate rule you have to consider to be considered a lawful driver.
