Car camera could lower motor premiums


Motorists who install video-recording devices in their vehicles could get discounts on their motor insurance premiums.

This possible incentive is being studied by a working group formed by the Traffic Police and the General Insurance Association (GIA).

Both see the move as a way to encourage better behaviour on the road, Traffic Police Commander Cheang Keng Keong told The Straits Times this week.

Improving driver behaviour, he said, was key to lowering accident rates.

I don't see encouraging better behaviour working even with cameras mounted. It will just serve as an evidence for the stunts such drivers resort to to claim insurance when it is actually their fault.
