5 Reasons You Should Have a Dash Cam in Your Work Van

In recent years the dash cam has become more and more popular. As technology increases so does the capability of these cameras and they are now widely used in a variety of sectors. The emergency services such as the police, fire service and ambulance all use dash cameras to ensure both their driver’s and the public’s safety. What’s more, it is now extremely common for most lorries and truck driving companies to fit a standard dash cam in their truck cabs for the same reasons..

So, the technology is clearly very capable and the cameras are now incredibly popular but why should you install a dash cam?

Accident Evidence

One of the most obvious reasons for installing a dash cam is to record evidence of any accident that occurs on the road. Unfortunately, it is just part of driving and as a tradesperson, you’ll likely cover a lot of miles getting to and from sites. Of course, once in a while, an accident may occur and more often than not it won’t be your fault. So, with a dash cam, you can provide video evidence to both the police and the courts to ensure you’re not blamed for any wrongdoing.

Stops wrongful tickets

There are occasions when you may have been wrongfully charged with a parking or driving fine. If this is the case, then a dash cam will be able to prove your innocence. The cameras have brilliant all-round vision and are recognised as a legitimate piece of evidence.

Prevents break-ins

It is an extremely common crime to find your vehicle broken into and unfortunately the criminals often escape and can never be brought to justice. In the trade industry this crime is even more common, as thieves target the vans for the tools and valuable equipment which is often left inside. A dash cam is one of the most efficient ways to ward off criminals as the camera will spot any attempt at a break in. So, you can rest assured that your kit and tools are safe.

Improves your driving

Another slightly unusual benefit of installing a dash cam is the improvement it will have on your own driving. When you watch some of your footage back, you may find that moments within your driving aren’t quite up to the standard you’d like. Therefore, a dash cam will help you recognise these moments and motivate you to improve.

Manages drivers

At times, you may lend your van to your colleagues or perhaps you have a small fleet of vans. If this is the case, you may want to keep track of your staff’s driving ability and ensure that they are looking after your vehicles. Installing a dash cam will ensure your staff drive with care and responsibility.

Whether you have a Transit van, a Sprinter, or any other van you can install a dash cam with relative ease. Here at Vanaways we can help, so contact us today and find out more!

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"VWS Limited recently leased three vans through Vanaways, and we could not fault the service we received. Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
