If, like me, your Instagram algorithm has served up reels of idiotic dangerous driving, or you've simply seen an acceleration of motoring madness, then you'll want a dash cam (aka a camera that can be mounted above your dashboard to record the road ahead). And Black Friday is a great time to score one for less: case in point, you can grab the Nextbase Piqo for £59 (was £99) at Amazon right now.

The Netbase Piqo is a much smaller and simplified version of the pricier Nextbase iQ smart dash cam, with cleverly implemented 'light' versions of the iQ's smart features. Right now, for jsut £59 you bag the 1K version of the camera. For most drivers, the Piqo will be plenty enough and it's a fraction of the price of the iQ.

Now I don't currently have a car, as being based in London if feels a bit unnecessary, but the last time I took to the road I was almost run off a motorway by a driver who I can't adequately describe without using foul language.

And seeing how some unscrupulous sorts are deliberately causing accidents to fuel insurance scams, I think a dash cam is a must-have accessory for regular road warriors.

The Nextbase Piqo gets my nod, not least of all because it's at a bargain price, but also has a host of features. From a wide-angle 140-degree field of view in a compact frame, to Bluetooth, voice control and smart parking assistance; there's a lot here to like.

Cameras Editor and expert Timothy Coleman gave the dash cam praise in his Nextbase Piqo Dash Cam review, noting: "Anyone wanting a dash cam that's simple to set up and use, with footage that can be quickly used in the event of an incident, will find the Nextbase Piqo the perfect low-cost option."

Enough said really; go grab this Amazon Black Friday deal before it's gone.
