Apology Accepted

[Riding in Circles]

All jokes aside about Mags poor road position it reminded me of the vid not so long ago with the blood, very similar but this time the cyclist/car stopped in time. (unfortunately?)

I’ve viewed 8-10 of magnatom’s youtube offerings and find him to be a rather cantankerous creature who regularly courts controversy. More often than not his riding appears erratic and uncontrolled with a tendency to spend more time looking to his right than straight ahead, though this is no doubt explained away as necessary in the pursuit of his latest motoring quarry.

Hope this helps towards a page 9

Totally unrelated to the thread, but you dont work for a company called BabyTV do you?

Almost 12 pages...

Umm… another video aficionado. I viewed them as a consequence of OP so I suggest its totally related. I’d use a helmet-cam but I’ve found that my memory is sufficient.

Helmet-cam commuter equals wannabe PCSO, citizens infringement officer or You’ve been framed contributor.

Helmet-cam commuter equals police will not prosecute without evidence and memory without witnesses is not enough

Edited for the reason i video.

+1... I've had a few incidents where I wish I had hard documentation rather than recollection, so I video most commutes. With that said all but 2 commute's video has been deleted & the only reason I kept those commutes are for performance analysis because my trip computer doesn't record everything (ie. that I eased off because of a cat running across the road).

I wait with keen anticipation for cybernight to provide an account were the police have used a member of the public’s helmet-cam evidence in a prosecution

Wasn't its mags own camera footage of the lorry driver nearly running him over on the roundabout?

And i did not day they had i merely stated the reason i use one as one guy wanted a punch up (pre camera) when i shouted oi at him for overtaking about 6 inches from my handle bars.the guy waited up the road for me in the middle of the road ,police did nothing as they had no other witnesses.

It is better to have such evidence than to have non as otherwise everything is hearsay surely?

I had some footage that was extremely close to being used to prosecute someone. I had given a statement and everything was looking good, but then all of a sudden the CPS decided not to do anything with it.

Thats what the CTC solicitors are for i guess , sorry to hear it fell through

Wasnt a member of the force/ mp etc was it? (runs and hides from vike )(joke before anyone gets all conspiracy theory etc on me )

Video footage gets you in the door with some firm evidence that the police can follow up easily & give a context to the incident. Even if the footage isn't used it's a useful tool to get the ball rolling.

I know of a motorbike mounted camera, civilian, that was used in court to aid the prosecution of dangerous driving.

 

[Team Fiwip]

evidence please, as you say yourself ' without evidence and memory without witnesses is not enough'

You say that memory is enough yet refuse to back up your claim without proof whereas gaz has already stated he used evidence from a camera ?

The you call us wannabe PCSO? i think you will find that we are just concerned cyclists making sure we have as much evidence as we can if heaven forbid we do have an incident that leaves us in a condition that needs to be raised to the police.

If you do not like helmet cameras fine, you do not like them but when 2 posters have said that they have been used please do not ignore their posts.

True, but I think you'll find that was used in the prosecution of the rider himself

BM had camera evidence I believe which convicted somebody of assault on him, all though I'm not aware of the full ins and out.

 

[GrasB]

Not that incident. I'm thinking of a case where a biker was out on a leisure ride & was forced off the road by 2 cars racing. That evidence along with witness statements & other CCTV footage was presented in court during the prosecution of both drivers.
