Nice to know that you're ok.

Does anyone have any way of recording the interview and youtubing it?

Thanks! :smile: I'm busy in the twitter/blog universe these days, and keeping away from long threaded rants. :wacko:

I do pop in here from time to time, but mostly in the sportive or rides section. Certainly not given up the videos, in fact a new camera should be arriving today!

Keep an eye out for me on twitter @magnatom! :biggrin:
 
Hi Guys,

Just a flying visit! Hope all is well here!

Yes Sky have used my footage. First I heard of it was a tweet from Gaz! STV (Scottish ITV) have just interviewed me and I'll have a few seconds on the STV news tonight.

If only I got paid for this! :biggrin:
Your last vid ;)

Sky is just buffering here and when I try to view it on line I think it wants money; I'll hopefully catch you on STV tonight.

Live streaming stuff doesn't seem to work behind work firewall :sad:

You didn't miss much, very short clips but mostly talking with the mandatory metal box driver complaining it was unfair on car drivers, there always being picked on.

Mine wasn't used but nice to be asked.

No discussion of the clips, just used as a background of bad driving for the story about Police giving on-the-spot fines for careless driving. Given I've been cut up three times in a week by Police vehicles, I can't see it making much difference.

It is interesting that 3 major news channels covering a story about careless driving and fixed penalties all end up using amateur vidoe taken by cyclists.

Just now I received an email from someone at the BBC asking if they can use some of my YouTube stuff on the One O'Clock News, no specifics as to which one's.

nice of em to ask, bet it says 'the world + wife can use your stuff however' in the terms for youtube...


interesting that these vids are obviously 'newsworthy' as examples of 'real world driving' !

wierd attititude... when driving i'd love a 'hand of god' to instantly penalise stupid drivers..... i do my bit, by never allowing someone on the phone to merge..

There is a button you can press which gives details on how the video may be distributed...but I've no idea how it shows up (I think it just stops hotlinking)



Just because you use an Adobe product to edit your videos doesn't make you any better than the rest of us

I think its just the proliferation of the videos. Cyclists have been the most active, with motorcyclists a close second, as recording the evidence. Both groups have been equally active in asking for change, with businesses also lodging concerns. People like myself also send links in to demonstrate points when in corrospondence to news papers and radio shows.
