Video Monitors in Vehicles

The California Assembly passed AB1942 by a vote of 49-0 that would allow video recorders to be installed on vehicle dashboards. State law currently prohibits dashboard devices that may obstruct a driver's view. The bill is supported by companies that hire teams of drivers. They want to ensure their employees are driving safely and use the cameras to help determine fault in an accident. The bill's author said companies that use the recorders in other states have reduced their accident claims. The devices could record a vehicle's speed, where it travels, whether the driver wore a seatbelt and when the brakes were applied before an accident. The bill now moves to the Senate.
