I would buy the same helmet cam London cyclists use. Fitting one of those enables you to break the law, ride up one way streets the wrong way, go through red lights, ride on pavements, ride in the middle of the road etc. And using one of these entitles you to ride at night with no lights and when you get knocked off it's the car/lorry/van/motorcyclist's fault for not seeing you
I'm afraid that I have no faith in people - the general public think its normal to claim these days.My daughter in law bumped into the back of someone at a set of lights - just moving. There was no damage to his car and he said don't worry theres no damage. My son went down to his house straight away to his address (as they exchanged names/ins details) and took pictures showing no damage. Next minute, a claim for whiplash went in and despite her insurance company investigating twitter and faceache posts showing him showing off in the gym, he ended up getting £4000. This guy was a senior executive at our local NHS Trust! Bludy crook!And you only need to look at the litter and masks discarded on the local heath where we walk the dog to assess peoples attitude to others - its the little things in life that make the difference to the bigger picture but people think the little actions they do makes no difference - most of society are selfish (just like that bus driver) Grumpy old git rant over and out!
That's a good result, the taxi bloke paying for the damage like that. With my claim, as I pointed out to the insurance bod from the council, I m not claiming for any personal injuries, whiplash etc, or new leather jacket or a top of the range helmet. I just want the damage to my bike sorted.With the council, I can't be sure the driver is lying to cover his arse or if he's been ordered to lie to save the council's arse.
