While the reversing camera is useful and should prevent you actually being at fault, it won’t prevent the lying bastards out there from claiming that it was your fault. I suggest you consider a dashcam. There seems to be no substitute for video evidence. In my case I had a full admission from the third party which I covertly recorded. I had an independent witness as well, so I expected to be home and dry. The witness wasn’t quite definitive enough, and I had to go out of my way to challenge the third party insurer, including threatening to sue. Hopefully my new dashcam will make the whole thing more straightforward next time... |

Same car so all my accessories fit 330D M sport x drive touring but have a £440 hit road tax each year on it for 5 years!
I know i can get fridges, dryers, my ladders and alsorts in plus my custom made phone mount fits perfect. trying to find some eagle f1 asymmetric 5's and see if they are better than the 2;s as the wear on the 3's were terrible. The bridgestone for me always side wall bubble because of the amount of pot holes. |

Hate to say it but my 420D is £450 and goes up to £460 next year...
Only another three payments to go till it returns to normal - and then ill probably be an idiot and but a new car. |

Sorry, it gets worse. First year is a nice round £820, then £140 road fund licence (it's NOT a tax, honest) + £310 surcharge..... totally value for money in my opinion given the fantastic condition of the roads around here. Oh, wait......

Plenty of money for fucking up roundabouts/junctions with traffic lights and laying speed bumps down on every road though....
