Dashcams

ITV have asked us to post this:

Have you filmed a crash, scrape or near miss? ITV Wants your footage For a brand new primetime show about UK road crashes, near misses, scrapes and escapes, ITV are looking for footage filmed on dash cams and helmet cams by road users across the country.

As well as featuring the clips themselves, we are looking to tell the stories behind some of these clips, and speak to those involved.

Please get in touch if you have a clip you think we could use in the show. We'd also like to know if you might be interested in appearing on camera to talk through your experiences.

We are looking to make films that are more thoughtful than just the standard clip/voiceover routine, and it's for this exact reason that we're reaching out to you - to get real stories and experiences of actual road users, that really give people a true sense of the dangers of the road.

Our films will be led by the characters that will talk to us, and the footage.

Please get in touch and contact us at caughtoncamera@itn.co.uk - we look forward to hearing from you.

Anyone here using one? (Whether or not you want to be a TV star). Or been victim of a "crash for cash" attempt?

Rob you go for it. You speak like a Lord of the Manor

More cheap TV.

Stop wasting time with this bollocks ITV and rerun The Sweeney and Minder.

mtvan Casting Agency now?

Whats the 'going rate' for participating?

Do you need any special type of insurance to use the cam?

I dont have one, rely on my reactions. Oooops hope I aint spoke too soon.

Wouldnt mind a dash cam myself

Quite a few insurance companies are now insisting on you having a dashcam when taking out a policy with them

That's okay, but what I'd you have a accident while reversing?

Get a sprinter with reversing camera and position the dash cam on the bulkhead...

Will they film the D/H's that give you the verbal abuse when they are in the wrong.

Ive got roadhawk and the voice quality is great if you have the door or window open

Perhaps I should get another Rottweiler

Can you use them without sound? There would be an awful lot of bad language on most recordings. Not that I ever swear at people who stop at roundabouts when there is nothing coming, really annoys me. Dare I say it, it's normally women. OK, I lied about the swearing.

Turn the radio up to drown out the swearing lol
