Dont know if this has been posted before, apologies if it has…
Certainly a good reason to have forward facing cameras fitted
this was posted a few times when it first happened earlier this year 
Yes has been posted before…i have just got a camera off ebay for 25quid…very good, put a 4gb sd card in and it will record in 5 minute sequences, once its filled up it goes back to the first 5 min segment and overwrites it…excellent back up for when this sort of thing happens and there are conflicting statements of what actuallly happens

There was the most recent thread about it and the comments may be of interest to you.
NOTE for the terminally bewildered.
Before anyone starts throwing their toys out the pram the link is because it is a topic toowise appears to be interested in and he obviously hasn’t seen that discussion so may like to read the posts and is not any kind of dig because it has been posted before.
No offence taken Coffee…I hadnt seen it before …thanks for the link…I gave up trying to search in the past because you put in one word and nothing comes up but if I’d put a different word you get tons of stuff, cant be arsed trying loads of combinations in the search facility. I’ll just take he stick I get when its been done before 
Ripper, any info on the camera bought for 25 quid on ebay would be appreciated. cheers

Here you go…£25.79 with postage
Thanks, are you recording on the highest res? And can you set to record for longer than 5 mins?

Yes i record on the highest res…gives you about an hour of 5min segments on a 4gb card…5mins is maximum for segmental recording but you can just leave it on normal record mode if you want continuous, i am guessing an 8gb card will double the time and 16gb double that…if you have it plugged into 12/24v socket that switches on and off with ignition the camera will switch on and off automatically so only records when driving
Of course if you have a permanent supply it will continue indefinitely till you switch it off manually
