The idea of a helmet camera or for elsewhere came into mind. I don't believe I've read any stories where the video did any good with authorities, so I'm wondering for those of you who at some point bought one and now video your rides... Did you notice any difference in how drivers responded to you? Any less stress/anger with it for you?
I'd like to think that most drivers did improve after I had started using my cameras.
As for those who didn't I learned to make video clips of what they did. I would report commercial vehicles (c/w date, time and location) back to their company via their PR dept, or contact us link. A lot of trucks have "How was my driving?" painted on the back with their phone numbers.
