I mounted it on my cycle helmet and use it for my commute to work every day. Yesterday I saw a driver using a mobile phone and caught her on video – including me remonstrating with her at two junctions. I took the footage to Bethnal Green police station where they were very helpful and blown away by the quality of the video. I filled in a form, handed over the CD, and the driver is now being prosecuted. I urge you to get cammed-up and make the roads safer.
The camera is reviewed here:

and may be purchased (safely via Paypal) from the following seller:

I don’t understand how someone could have such a poor attitude to other road users. I’m glad that I’ve never had an experience like that and I hope I never do.

Even in that video, the original purpose of the helmet was to show more people what cycling on the streets was like. Check this video on how the first step for bike-car coexistence is a people friendly community

The amount of times I have been overtaken with inches to spare its only a matter of time before I’m taken out. Highway code, what’s that. In my opinion the only drivers of motor vehicles who overtake as the highway code suggests are other cyclists. My biggest wind up is vehicles in the Cycle box at traffic lights. Then again I guess I see as many cyclists going through red lights as I see motorists on mobile phones, we’re probably as bad as each other it just hurts cyclist more.
