Seems courts are too busy locking up people who report on pedo's and putting the reporters in a muslim gang block than they are dealing with these incidents..
04:24. Getting a bike cam was one of the best things I ever did. Not because I want to use it to pick flies with every other road user, but rather due to the sheer scale of aggressive people on our roads. I've been threatened, yelled at, spat at, had objects thrown at me and corrosive substances sprayed in my eyes..why? Was it because I attacked anyone? No. It was simply because I was on two feels and because the instigators thought I was an easy target. This also includes feral yobs on two wheels.
Such is the sheer state of law and order in this country that I feel a cam for any road user is a necessity these days. There are just so many violent, aggressive people on our roads, people who shouldn't be driving or riding. It has come to the point where your only recourse is your camera. At the very least, it can (not will), act as a deterrent.
I drive and cycle, but as a cyclist you are particularly vulnerable because you are so exposed from everything ran over to being physically assaulted. Well, this has no doubt been a long time coming and now more people can share their experiences and hopefully make our roads safer. They sure as hell need to be..
I think the first clip is an excellent example of how easy it is to miss things. I ask the viewer: Was your attention on the lorry to the left, perhaps expecting it to suddenly move to the middle lane? Mine was. And in doing so I didn't fully catch what was going on ahead.
Naturally, we only have two eyes and they can't be everywhere, but it pays to scan the horizon and not try to get fixated on one spot because you could miss something very easily.
Your both as bad as each other. In fact, you deserve to run into each other. The muppet recording this is as guilty if not more so than the Audi driver.
Look at me I’m a hard man all safe & sound in my breakdown truck. Muppet!
looks safe to me
