Dash cams

Worried about your wheels getting wrecked? These front and rear dash cams can help you keep an eye on what’s ahead and behind

Dash cams have become incredibly popular car accessories in recent years, keeping a faithful eye on the road ahead and recording footage when a collision is detected. Some even boast driver-assistance systems to help keep you alert and safe.

With so many great models on offer these days, we figured you could use a hand picking out which suits your needs.

But what if an incident happens behind you? Say someone drives into the rear of your car, but isn’t willing to accept the blame, or even flees the scene? This is where a second, rear-facing dash cam could come to the rescue, which is why we’ve also included two models that can watch your back.
