Cool Car Crash Britain ITV show
Well...some of my dashcam footage (shot in my trusty Volvo) will be televised in the upcoming ITV series 'Car Crash Britain'!!

See...social media can be useful sometimes. They havnt confirmed how many seconds of footage they will use, but pay £675 a minute..!

Did you simply catch other cars crashing or will we be watching your trusty steed being crashed into?

If your footage is good enough and if it went viral, you could easily get that on YouTube and you're not signing away any rights.

It's not that good...well I don't think so. it's got about 400 views on my personal channel, but a dedicated dashcam channel with lots of subscribers also 'released' it which got quite a few thousand views.

It's because I put it on youtube that ITV clocked it and want to use it

I've always wondered how those compilation channels work.
Do they ask permission and you get a cut?
