I am looking for a cheap action camera to fix on my seat post to record what's happening behind me. Main requirements are that it should be compatible with GoPro accessories and be able to be recharged while riding.
I do most of my riding on quiet country roads where there is very little traffic. Yesterday I was in one of the local small towns and was turning right into a supermarket. I looked behind and there was a car some distance behind. I move into the middle of the road and signaled clearly I was turning right. The road is very wide at this point and there was plenty of space for any motorist to undertake me safely. Literally, a couple of seconds before I turned the car behind me did a very close pass.
I know having a camera wouldn't have stopped me being squashed, but at least thee would have been some record. Also, I would have been to report the driver to the police.
