Started half seriously looking at dash board cameras. Not for recording accidents but for recording scenery. Apparently they aren’t that great for that. I was hoping to get scenic shots along the highway, but the more I read about that, most of the good views aren’t out the windshield but the side views and the dash board camera really work kind of poorly at that. Scrap that idea. There are just so many scenic vistas I wish I could take but there is no place to safely stop along the highway.
