Bike Cameras
K2-K6:
I don't use them so don't have a definitive view either way.
Comment effectively from a police officer as it's their view that it's a fairly significant threshold to cross if they want to confiscate something like this without reasonable cause.
As opposed to a vehicle that's been involved in a accident and during subsequent inspection (the owner of which may not have been present) the recording having been accessed, may give reasonable cause to secure as evidence.
Subtle, but with obvious differences.

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've never needed a camera until 1st September when a council operated minibus reversed into me at a T junction. A scary event on a motorbike, not having a reverse gear that I could hurriedly deploy. All I could do is press the horn and brace for impact.
At the scene, the driver admitted fault with a lame apology, stating that he only reversed about a foot.
A load of bollocks but an admission nevertheless.
Now, the cnut is saying that he didn't reverse at all but I drove into him. Even without a dash cam, I should have had the presence of mind to record his lame smidsy routine, but at the time I was a bit shaken up.
Before you suggest going on the Castle Park neighbourhood watch Facebook site, and knocking on doors to canvass for a witness, I've done it all and got nowhere.
As a last resort, I've contacted my Councillor who can, at least cast a magnifying glass over his driving standards.
To put you out of your misery, it wasn't the 400four that copped it.

It bloody saddens me at how scummy / dishonest (some) folk have become. Desperate times I guess.....
