not too sure about private car wor, on sat was taking bus VL den got one lesson by LTA and someone asked, in the bus or taxi installed those "black box" or camera regarding accident not by own fault and that LTA person told us that if driving taxi, we cant install our own camera, accident liao insurance company or taxi will not reconigize. case wise if apply thru taxi company, taxi company install den can help with the insurance company if anything goes wrong coz taxi company is the rightful owner of that vehicle.
He also say if installed by own, most time insurance company will claim that the camera blocked your view etc ...
in all we TD do anytin also kenna makan 1 PHUi!!!!!!
Bro not true. My bro from insurance company. They bullshit. If the installed camera cannot prove the right or wrong party, then what's the point of of installing. Furthermore, he had a few claims approved under this car camera thingy.
If is not allow, then LTA should ban it.
Can install on the roof?
On top of the taxi sign also can.
Like that sure no camera obstruction.
Put simply I think, if the accident is clear cut and the TD isn't at fault, and the other party and their insurance co, will agree to a quick settlement, then the camera can be useful to verify this.
But if TD at fault or not at fault, but the process is gonna be long because other party has some 'excuses' and neither he nor his insurance will settle quickly and easily, then the camera ' tak pakai' in the insurance company's view.
And the bottomline line really is, the camera's images or recording is only valid, if the case goes to court and the court agrees to admit it into evidence. If it doesn't go to court then it's only an investigation tool, that also if TP and the insurance company agree to it.

yup all digital form of evidence can only be used as "reference"..........
i have seen the book of accidents at loyang comfuk before. they have many interpretations of accidents long before the camera exist. So the accident claim department used this a a guide. camera is just for Tds defense only. Its 100 % win 50/50 % and 100 %lost.
