Bikers incriminate themselves with helmet cams

Have to be so careful with these things. We don't always have control over they might be used/seen.

Bikers incriminate themselves with helmet cams

Yeah I stopped wearing mine ages ago. Only use on holidays in Europe. Especially after a cop pulled up next to me at lights and gave me a mouthful for Amber gambling tearing thru a box junction and said if it wasn't for him having to get somewhere he'd take my camera and review the footage for charge of some nature! And went on to lecture if I'm wearing a camera to protect myself then I shouldn't be the one driving like an idiot.. Fair point and apologised.. Never used camera since

I've not put mine on my new lid. I rarely switched it on when I had it.

Agree....more bother than they're worth.....and more disappointing too, for all those times I've been let down by my "superb trackday footage".....I'd have been better off filming paint dry to watch in slo-mo.

LOL......poor Donald!!


It goes both ways I suppose...there was a well publicized incident locally a few years ago where a driver claimed a rider caused her wreck with his car....her footage proved otherwise and the guy ended up getting 6 months for it.
