Mine's in the centre of the windscreen, low down.

This means it obstructs my view of the kerb 3ft in front of the car,
which is not anywhere I normally look when driving. I lean around it
when parking.


My dashcam is high up on the RHS of the windscreen, and is completely
hidden by the sun visor when that is down (which is all the time). When
the car went for its first MOT, I was phoned by the garage who told me
they would have to remove the dashcam as anything obstructing the line
of sight meant an instant MOT failure. So I told them to remove it for
the test. I replaced it when I got the car back after it passed the test.

It was only when I got the car back I wondered if leaving the sun visor
down would result in an instant failure, as that was "obstructing the
line of sight"!
