Police / video evidence

When cycling around the Hertfordshire lanes I always pull over as soon as convenient for me and let traffic pass. Usually get a friendly wave or toot. Can't say I get riled with bad motorists, part of life.
I've been cycling for 54 years and instinctively know my body is vulnerable to motorised traffic so ride defensively.

Oh what it must be to lead a life of pure leisure and never need to be anywhere at any particular time(!)

Plan the journey time to allow for delays, both expected and unexpected.

I had the same experience when reporting a recent left hook to Leics Police. They would not take it any further due to lack of an independent witness. But I’ve recently been thinking, since we were in a group of 6, only the front pair were directly affected (though we all had to brake sharply). If one of them had reported it, and I had been a witness, would that have worked?

Anyway, I have refitted my front and rear cameras, so that future incidents are recorded. And I’ve noticed that ChilliTech are selling their Bullet Cam at £39.99, so I might buy one as it’s lighter than my FLY12.
