Not me either. Don't forget unless you are the perfect rider/driver who never breaks a law your own camera can also be used against yourself.

I won't even own a smartphone, my brief flirtation with one had me end up chucking it in the river Thames. ... peace. ;D The first problem with these helmet mounted cams is that most people are recording their own guilt!  :o

Everyone that I know that has been involved in a accident with a camera it, has worked against them. "If you did not over take the two cars 3 miles ago then, you would not of been at the accident spot at the time of the event ". And " we are nicking you as, overtook a truck on a double white line 46 miles ago ".

Every accident i have been involved in. I have taken them to court with private lawyers and barristers (NOT from insurance company's) and in every case they have paid out a week before it is due in the high court as, they do not want to pay all the court fees.

Only if they see it or you tell them you have one.

I'm looking for one which is completely hidden so in the event I ever get pulled by Mr Plod he can't spot it easily so can't ask for it's recordings. After getting wiped out in 2011 by some very nice lady driver suddenly spotting a McDonalds and turning across me and then getting 2 of her passengers to climb out and pretend to be passerby's who witnessed the whole thing Mr Plod and it was all the bikers fault I'd like a video of any future events as a just in case. Only for the fact one of the actual witnesses was a biker and heard them claiming to be witnesses and telling the police woman taking their statements that they were out of the car did I win my case. Incidentally they didn't get prosecuted for doing that, which was a joke in itself.

So what you are actually saying is without a camera it all worked out fine.  ;)

I have very mixed views on cameras
I had a dash cam in my van when I was hit head on in January it made no difference to my defence even though they were on my side of the road.   :o  it was settled 50/50 because apparenty  I just agreed to go 50/50 in March when recovering from Covid. I don't even remember the phone call. But they played the recording of me talking jiberish I couldn't even remember how to spell my name on the recording.
Way back in May someone shunted me on the Guzzi and fled. A camera would have been nice if rear facing as I had no one to claim against.
Ithought I was fine but I have been in agony for months since and really struggle to get through the day and struggle to sleep at night.
