Most rear view cameras fit where the number plate lights go, or there is this one that slips over your internal mirror

All, I am a Roads Policing Officer in England and I can put your mind at rest with regards to having the monitor for the reversing camera on all of the time.  You will not be prosecuted for using such a device.  It is only like you are using your rear view mirror.

I am too a Caravaner and have one installed onto mine.  I also had the option to attach it to the reversing lights, so it would only activate when I am in reverse, however I chose to go down the ON ALL THE TIME route.

To answer all that wonder why I want on all of the time, my answer is this.  As Diesel Steve said a lot of vehicles can tailgate and are not visable in the mirrors.  So if I am approaching a junction which I may be tourning into, I can indicate and brake well before I needed to, in order for the vehicle behind to respond and not plough into the back of me.  Yes I know it would be the other drivers fault, but I would rather avoid someone rear shunting me and spoiling my holiday, and give them a little more braking time.

Hope this clarifies a few things.

"(2) In this regulation “television receiving apparatus” means any cathode ray tube carried on a vehicle and on which there can be displayed an image derived from a television broadcast, a recording or a camera or computer. "

so LCD TVs are ok then!!!!

loads of trucks have rear view cameras these days, to illeviate blind spots, as do many newer top end cars, is it BMW that have a forward facing IR camera too for night vision?
