When a collision turns into a hit-and-run, incident resolution and exoneration comes down to one detail: the license plate. In fact, nearly 1 in 7 collisions on U.S. roads is a hit and run, and that number keeps climbing. And it’s not just hit-and-runs. In incidents like road rage or theft, a missing or illegible license plate number can slow investigations, weaken exoneration, and add thousands in avoidable costs. Most dash cams aren’t built to capture it.
