Videos you won't believe were caught using a dash cam

9th May 2016

The dash cam is an incredible invention that has impacted the way we claim insurance and in many cases the way we drive and subsequently behave on the road.

Dash cams, however, are not just high-tech tools used to capture supporting evidence for road accident claims.

This neat piece of kit has many more strings to its proverbial bow, and has been used to great effect to inadvertently capture everything from unbelievably magnificent natural phenomenons to surreptitious acts of human kindness to the down-right side-splitting hilarious.

Dash cam footage has now been used in almost every medium from breaking news bulletins, to comedy panel shows to scientific journals, so if you want to start capturing your very own never-before-seen footage take a look at the the RAC's Shop's quality range of dash cams.

Here to support our claim of the incredible, unbelievable and jaw-dropping films you can potentially capture using this simple piece of tech are six astounding videos caught using dash cams.
