Len, I started carrying a camera in the car a while back, since I watched a programme in which our traffic police suggested it. A lot of people have minor accidents which when written on the claim forms later turn out to be works of fiction. There is also a growing trend of some villains who purposefully drive into you on their own, and later claim forms state he had 3 or 4 passengers, all of which had "whiplash" injuries which were the innocent parties fault.
A better reason for me is capturing events on the way to school "Dad what's that" type questions, which you can later discuss at leisure. I have to admit that the best camera I could use for all of this would be digital, just for speed of results, but the pleasure of using the LX/MX would never make digital number one.
