This thread  is for those who want to discuss the good and bad points of personal cameras on the road and if they are a good, bad, necessary or irrelevant.

Getting back to the original topic of this thread and away from the childish pettiness...

Personally, I don't use a helmet camera and wouldn't use one for these purposes.

I can understand why some people want to use them, especially if they're riding in a high-risk environment (eg lots of commuting) where there's a much greater than normal danger of being in an accident and where there could be disputes about liability.

This is the sole reason for me buying and using a camera - 100 mile round trip a day into central London. The decision was made following the clip Punkstig posted of a lying git who took him out.


I've have never and will never post clips for fun or act as a plastic plod because I have better things to do.


I have found that when you do get cut up and the driver spots your camera you don't get into a slanging match anymore - they know they fucked up, it's recorded so they tend to just apologise - it saves a lot of grief. Simples......
