Motorists are being warned to drive like they’re being filmed every time they get behind the wheel.

With one in five vehicles now fitted with a dash cam, the chances of being reported for an offence captured on a dash cam are now higher than ever.

The warning coincides with National Dash Cam Day today (Friday, August 5).
