Abstract
A vehicle-mounted image record system for ensuring safe driving of a vehicle by recording images of a portion of the vehicle and a surface of a road in the vicinity of the vehicle so as to monitor the driving habits of a driver. The system includes one or more cameras mounted at suitable positions on the vehicle and a recording device for recording the images captured by the cameras. The captured and recorded images include a portion of the vehicle and part of the surface of the road on which the vehicle is driving so as to serve as proof of safe driving in the event of an accident. The system also includes a display for displaying the captured images so that the driver of the car can see objects forward or reverse of the vehicle.
