DashCams / Helmet Cams - Good or Bad

[Streetbudgie]

I decided to get a helmet cam after a friend was involved in an accident where he was wrongly deemed to be at fault and ended up losing his case just because the other car had multiple occupants who lied.

Since I got the camera I found a number of social media sites where you can upload dash cam recordings and they will be acted on by Plod and Local Authorities if the recoding shows something that those authorities deem serious enough.

So I made a decision to take an action and use my camera recordings if I feel the person was acting in a way that endangered the lives of other road users.

I think this is positive action and it makes me feel like I'm doing what I can to help prevent accidents on the roads.

I do not post recordings of mistakes or driving errors, we all make those and no-one is perfect.

I only post recordings of those flouting the law that is put there to keep us all safe and those who put other road users in danger

I don't feel 'like a grass' or like I'm telling tales as the recordings are of those drivers who do these acts deliberately and with no regard for others.

So that's why I got a personal camera and why I post recordings on my Youtube account (you have to host it somewhere) and share it to other social media so it can be acted on by those who have the authority.
