Automatically turn you into a nob?
I've been wanting to get one for a while now but I'm afraid I'm gonna turn into one of these vigilantes.
I make mistakes, I know that so would like to review situations to see what I could have done better. It could have come in handy with a recent taxi driver situation as well.
Be interesting to hear from fellow commuters who do use them and whether or not (truthfully) it has changed them.
I did touch on this in another thread actually. I've just started using a camera again, I first dabbled with one a couple of Years ago but quickly got bored keep charging the thing up etc.
When I first used one, I did feel a little bit of bad attitude from it for some odd reason, almost as if, at times, I'd be willing something to happen just because I was in a position to capture it.
I don't want to be criticized/appraised on the strength of that, just being honest that I did notice an effect. It was, however, small and I modified my behaviour appropriately and I don't feel that it changed either my riding, or perception of ,my riding. in the end.
This time, it's made absolutely no difference, maybe because of last time?
I think it was summed up perfectly above, if you're of that persuasion, then, yes, it may well exacerbate that otherwise it will make no difference.
Funnily enough, I captured my first "incident" this morning when fairly aggressively left hooked. I did wonder whether to edit the footage down this morning and post it, but won't because:
1) On reflection, my road positioning wasn't as assertive as it should have been on that particular roundabout
2) I can't be arsed.
