Car cameras.

I have been driving in Bali for 9 years. Full insurance and Indonesian driver's licence. I am aware of the theoretical procedures in the event of an accident but also aware that where a bule is involved the bule is usually blamed and compensation demanded.

I wonder about the value of installing cameras that record front, rear and sideways. What is the cost? And does potential benefit outway cost?

I understand that in the event of colliding with a motorbike it is expected that the car owner will compensate the owner of the motorbike for damage and possibly also for minor injury. In such a circumstance what is the situation if the motorbike owner or car driver cannot produce a licence? In such a circumstance is it best to ask for the police to be called or seek to just negotiate a way out?

I am a competent driver but accidents do happen. Would appreciate any tips or suggestions should I ever get involved in accident with a car or motorbike

Haven't seen one that records on the sides but both my cars have front and rear cameras. A good one is around 2.5 million or a little more. Mine also have GPS so it will show the location, time and speed along with the footage. So far haven't needed the footage from them but I look at it like insurance. Even if a motorbike in involved and I can show they were at fault. I'm less likely to have to pay.
