Poll: Would you fix a dash cam to your car for an insurance discount?

The plan is part of efforts to prevent fraudulent claims.

AXA IS TO offer customers a 10% discount on their insurance if they fit a dash cam to their car. 

The Irish Independent reports today that the plan is aimed at attempting to cut down on fraudulent injury claims.

Camera company Nextbase is also to offer a 10% discount on its dash cams as part of the initiative. But is this a good idea?

    True, Declan. I’m not a huge fan of some of his most famous work but this one appeals to me greatly.

    Are they sure it’s not fake? It’s not very good is it?

    The original owner bought it ten years after it was supposedly painted. He says it was a forgery. I would tend to believe him. Why did he think that. He was a collector so he would have known what he had bought.

    Hmm! I wonder why this wasn’t authenticated years ago. There are 50million+ reasons why this painting has been ” authenticated”. Seems a bit fishy to me.
    The brush strokes look almost too van Gogh, and the palette is not quite right. But then, no one asked me. And I would authenticate mouse droppings for art if I got a share ins 50milllion windfall.

    Thing is art is false economy but a very gpod false economy. Its almost celebrity orientated this goes from 50 euro up to 50 million cos of his name. Could not sell a painting when alive. I see amaxing talent in local artists. Had their paintings had a famous name attached then it goes up to stupid money.

    Sure id take 50m for it but looking at it honestly id offer 100 eurp for it max to have it over fireplace

    You may. I have an iMac large screen computer with a zoom. Had a good look and made a general observation. Not a conclusion as I would have to be an ” expert” for that with a 50million motive, not just a run of the mill BFA.

    Oh, you zoomed in with your iMac? Please tell me more about how you spent over a thousand on a computer that is really worth half that, while you discuss the price you feel this painting should be.
