90% of the time I ride I have my gopro on my helmet and filming, and I'm not doing it for YouTube views. This article/video is the perfect example of why. Other reasons may include unwarranted traffic stops, people harrassing me while riding, blaming me for being at fault, etc.. Luckily I have never needed to use the footage as evidence.
Helmet footage saves biker in thousand dollar insurance claim
After watching the video I think the rider could have taken evasive maneuvers much sooner and possibly avoided the car. I didn't hear him use his horn, either, but I have been in situations where more important actions needed to be taken so quickly that I didn't think of it nor had time to blast it.
Anybody else film regularly for similar reasons? I know its very popular in some countries for insurance reasons.
