Does your car have an event data recorder (EDR)?

Has your car been involved in a collision and your insurance has repudiated the claim? Or are you being investigated by the Police? Have you accessed your cars event data recorder?


Your event data recorder (EDR) can provide an independent witness to determine exactly what happened. It can be used in support of an insurance claim to determine who did what and when.

What information can your event data recorder (EDR) provide?

The information provided from your event data recorder (EDR) will change make and model to make model, but it generally includes vehicle speed, engine speed, whether the brake and accelerator pedals were being depressed and if so, by how much, which seats were occupied and who was wearing seatbelts and more.
