Am I right to think this means someone with a dash cam should have contact details on the windscreen In the first instance, there should be a clearly visible sign or sticker on and/or inside the vehicle, as applicable, to indicate that filming is taking place. A policy sheet detailing your contact details, the basis on which you are collecting the images and audio of others, the purposes for which the data is being used and how long you will retain it for

Soon you will need to fill out a report on the contents of your toilet each time you flush it.

Ok my question is why only a forward facing camera is "allowed".
If i am worried that any car crash will be rear ended why can't I have a rear facing dashcam?

Do you mean in this bit? Read the second sentence.

Dash cams can be outward-only facing and record video of the road ahead. Equally,
versions exist that record both audio and video, and that record both inside the vehicle
and the road outside.

Look

There's the law and there's the enforcment of the law

This will not be enforced. It's technically right but practically worthless.

No just a sticker indicating that there is a camera recording

I thought that was only for commercial drivers but with the horse**** ruling of the Rynes case I wouldn't be surprised. The original, and appropriate, intent of GDPR has been bastardised by daftness

Yeah, so just use the alternative method of providing your info to someone who asks if you don't want to out up a sticker (which is understandable).
You're only likely to be asked for those details if you've got footage of an accident.

It says a policy sheet should be made... then you can give the info verbally. So should you have the sheet even if you give details verbally?

Can't see many people asking unless an accident they would hardle be aware they are on camera. My camera writes over the data anyway unless press a button to save

The general consensus with CCTV is that the notice requires:

Notification that CCTV is in use
The purposes for the use of CCTV
Contact details for the controller

Rynes was a pre-GDPR case so it very much informed the drafting of the GDPR.

I simply giving a view on what the DPC says in the link in the OP
