Mom drives a newer Lexus and is a beautiful, well-dressed woman. I’m looking for a simple dashcam that she can easily use. Any recommendations?

If a creep follows your mom to her car, a dashcam can capture videos to later use as evidence in a criminal case. Reputable options like the Ovedisa or BlackVue are both excellent choices.
🚙 Get her a dashcam that records what’s happening in front of and behind her vehicle. This option connects to an app that lets you view, download and share videos. It’s 30% off now, and be sure to check the box for another $30 off. (Makes a great gift, btw.)
Ring also recently came out with a variation that’s 4G LTE or Wi-Fi only. Check it out here.
Talk to her about using a safety app, too. With bSafe, she can tap the SOS button to send an alarm straight to her emergency contacts, including her location and recorded audio and video. The app also features a “follow me” function to watch her progress home via GPS tracking and “fake call” and alarm features to deter potential attackers.
I have more info about this app and others here. If you want me to talk to your mother about any of this, I’m happy to do that, too. Just drop me a line.
Why you need a dashcam
Accountability is everything when it comes to driving. That’s one reason cars come equipped with mirrors, turn signals and other non-verbal ways to communicate with other drivers.
But when an accident occurs, it’s your word versus the other person’s. Insurance can mediate between both parties, but in a complicated crash, it ultimately becomes a game of he-said-she-said.
That’s why dashcams have become a popular way to keep tabs on your vehicle — and anything that can go wrong. If you install one, you can enjoy peace of mind wherever the road takes you.
Installing a dashcam in your car takes the guessing games out of the equation for your insurance company. Instead of relying on witness testimony, your insurance can pull up a clip of the accident from your dashcam to get an eyewitness’s perspective.
