i was randomly testing a new helmet cam a few years back, got some great footage of me getting stiched up by a driver, i chased him down and caught him at another set of traffic lights where i told him to be careful next time (quite politely considering he nearly killed me!) he went mental!! so i pointed out the camera on my helmet!

for some reason at that point he went quiet and drove off!

bet he worries about cyclists filming now

That guy was in the Sunday Times too. For some reason, his local plod decided they couldn't act solely on video evidence. :roll: , yet another interviewee was succesful in having his nutter prosecuted.

Hey, way to go !

I wonder if more people record the traffic experience, the roads might become a little friendlier.

The usual angry shout I hear, is that I don't pay road tax, so shouldn't be on the road.

If you go to the LFGSS forum, and look about a bit, you will see that quite a few people do now record their journy to and from work with cam's

Good practice i would say, given the standard of driving these days...

Driving home last night i spotted a roadie with a cam on his helmet. This was one of the stand-out reasons for me for investing on one.

Would very seriously consider this when i start cycling to and from work again in the spring, given my last experince

My answer is usually "i do pay road tax, it's on the car i've chosen to leave at home"
