If they think it's not admissable I think they should learn their job! I can't see that it breaks the rules of evidence.

Having worked with mod plod and civvy police, i doubt very much they'll be monitoring it!

Thats a very broad sweeping statement to make.  It's like saying everyone called Geoff is an ass......

It's not a broad sweeping statement, it's my assessment based on a wealth of personal experience, which you obviously disagree with, so you have resorted to pathetic childish insults.

If you're sad enough to go round with a camera on your head and complain about other peoples behaviour I'd suggest you need to get a life.

It appears you relish looking for bad behaviour with your 'holier than thou' attitude!

The phrase 'people police' springs to mind.

Good day.

I have my reasons for doing this which go a lot deeper than whatever feelings you have of how well the MOD plod do their job or not, so I suggest you take your unhelpful comments elsewhere.

So that justifies and excuses your insults?

We've all got our sob stories, in any case, what the hell do you think you know about me that makes you think your reasons are alot deeper than mine?

Apology accepted by the way.

I suggest you take your insults elsewhere.

Wasn't me

You're proving my point, thanks!

I'm not surprised they tried to palm you off by giving you duff info!

It's sad that you actually have that picture, ready to post up.

I hope for everyone elses sake that you the Chief Constable of people police abide by all relevant laws when riding your push bike on the road, and don't display the arrogant attitude you have here.

Geoff have you read the PM I sent you?  :-?

There are 3 very good reasons for me doing this none of which are your business.  I have discussed them on here a couple of times but needless to say that I cycle within every rule of the road and very defensively.

I am not sure what duff info you are talking about, if you elaborate I can ask the MOD plod officer tommorrow at work.  He works down the corridor.

If you think I am sad then how about someone trying to poo-poo another person trying their best to prevent a) his own death and b) a local family going through the heartbreak of losing one of their kids to some idiot on the road.  Because if saving one life is possible I'll do it regardless of any negative comments and attempts to demoralise me that I receive.  Now kindly move along, I have more important people to spend my time with.

Interesting stuff gaffers, usable as evidence or not, if you get knocked off you bike and it's video'd then it makes a case easier to win.

I would be tempted ti sycronise two camera's and fit one to the front of the bike and one to the rear of the bike as well as having the head cam.

Will make some interesting viewing, and with the camera's at sub £10 I think is worth the effort.

[Gaffers]

Think you need to set the time and date on your camera though Guffer, looks to me like that footage was taken on 20th March 2008.....

Yeah I realised that when posting it, it obviously lost all charge and reverted to factory defaults 

[tunnie]

i keep meaning to attach my little video camera to my bicycle helmet, although its not a best idea as i usually ignore all road signs and lights

I have thought about that but a full get up with 2 cameras is £500+

I heard about a case with another cyclist who was doing this who had a young woman turn right directly in front of him.  The incident put him in hospital and wrote off the bike.  The insurance company started to fight his claim but once they saw the footage they paid out in full 

Note: I said not if I get knocked off but when.  Even with me riding defensively and abiding by all the rules I still know it is a matter of time before I end up on the gravel again

I could respond, as you are wrong.

But as you said, I have more important people to spend my time with.

I stop for the big junctions though 

Its by far the quickest way to work, can do it in under 20 mins if there is no head wind. Feeling better with each shift, when i first started i had to change down for hills, no more, power along in top gear 

Noticed i am using less and less water too, not to mention its a free way of getting to work!

It is a nice feeling when you can do all the hills on your commute 'dancing' on the handle bars without sitting back on the saddle for a rest.  I rehydrate at work because as long as you are hydrated to begin with you can do 30 mins intense activity before you get dehydrated. 

My commute is only 4.5 miles but I can do that in 9 mins door-to-door (not bad for a bloke who weighs 17.5 stone)  I often add on a little more to make it a 30 min session.  The same journey in a car takes 6-7 mins and costs £20 a week in fuel.  Cycling is free....ish

I was thinking the little one's that tunnie showed on use, decent quality result.

If you're doing 4.5 miles in 9 mins,  'a little bit more' must be around an extra 10 miles .......  :-? :-?
All bikes should have an engine!

Thats the one I have 

[Del Boy]

I think it's a good thing what you're doing to be honest  I don't have an issue with cyclists as long as they obey the rules, as with other cars really. Nazi cyclists are the ones who bug me

About that, but if I do my PT on the way to work I can work through the PT session at work and be more productive 

Wife wont let me get a motorbike
