Exactly the same situation mate.
I had a bump whereby the third party at the scene admitted liability to the police who attended but later retracted and blamed me.
There was a subsequent grey area both insurance companies were in limbo as to who exactly was at fault.
The matter of liability was only resolved six months later when the Police report finally came through.
Needless to say I then invested in a Dashcam
You only get what you pay for mate
I paid £69 about five years ago but looking at the same model online now it’s incredibly gone UP to £159
I can honestly say it’s been invaluable
You have to buy an additional memory card but that’s it
I haven’t touch wood had a bump since but I have actually helped other motorists- a boy racer pranged a stationary car in front of me at a junction and tried to blame him-dashcam footage to the rescue- a pedestrian was run over on the zebra crossing outside the Beverley on Cathedral Rd by a car coming the other way - luckily all caught on camera
At the end of the day it’s peace of mind motoring 👍
