Dash Cam

It is 99% likely that a "dash cam" is not referred to or referenced but it would give you a piece of mind. Also, is there an erase feature or button or something similar to quickly delete footage?

I'll have to check with my insurance (though not sure why they would prohibit a camera... you would think they would want one). As far as a quick erase, it does not, but I suppose you could just pop the SD card out real quick.

I have my GoPro also, but figured a $350 camera that has a short battery span unless I plug it in and no recording looping would be too much of a hassle. Though before I found this I was probably one idiot away from using it anyways.
