    If cyclists all drove cars we wouldn't have any of these problems.
    If all cyclist drove cars there would be gridlock in every city due to all the extra cars being on the road.

    I'm just doing my bit. Seriously, I don't want to hear that the dangerous driver I didn't report ended up killing someone. I have a moral obligation to report dangerous drivers. Do you know many more people in British roads die in road collisions than military personnel in Afghanistan? Do you think that's acceptable?

    Yet you can't be @rsed to report it to the police because it's alot of hassle?

    He is reporting it to the driver's employer (Arriva) though. Giving the driver a chance to improve their behaviour.

    On a scale of 1-10 (that rates at about 2/10 for me)

    The reasons are perfectly stated by Mids_costcutter. Initially, I didn't have any helmet camera but after a friend of mine was knocked
    down by a driver, I decided to get one. The Police didn't do anything due to "lack of evidence" but it was obvious in that case that the driver was at fault.

    Unfortunately, the laws in this country don't protect vulnerable road users so many cyclists use helmet cams.

    do you have a camera on the back and sides as well ?

    not everything well get seen from the front only...

    The camera only records Arriva traffic violations...others are too difficult to deal with apparently.
