To help the reconstruction and analysis of road traffic accidents, Traffic Adjudication Office (TAO) invites members of the public to provide dashcam evidence, offering a cash reward of NT$1,000 as incentives starting January 1, 2018.
 
By offering rewards as encouragement for submission of video recordings capturing critical moments of accidents, the agency hopes to acquire better evidence for determining the liabilities involved, thereby yielding more precise adjudication results.
　
The footage should contain images documented by a camera device mounted to the provider’s vehicle; downloaded vids from online sources will not be accepted, TAO stressed. Individuals should also check whether the footage clearly captures the moment when a traffic accident occurs prior to uploading the video to TAO’s website.
 
The cash reward will be granted and the provider notified after review by authorities.
 
According to statistics, approximately 30-percent of traffic accidents have video evidence – most of the footage originate from recorders installed on automobiles. In light of this, the agency encourages motorcyclists to install video recorders on their vehicles as a precaution, in case they become involved in traffic accidents.
