• Just reported a taxi to road safe that decided to punishment pass me twice down mile end road, made me think about getting a camera but from the wording on road safe they wouldn't accept video as evidence of a close pass?

    Videos should not be edited in any way. They must not rely on a perception of distance such as a close pass as the apparent distance will vary according to the type camera and settings. There are other issues with video evidence, such as parallax error, which makes objects appear close together when they are seen in line. In general, evidence of provocation or disproportionate reaction will mean that no action is taken.

  • That's a bit of a BS statement, as it is easy to look at other features on the road to gain a pretty good idea of distance i.e. if you are in the cycle lane, and the car comes into that lane. Then it is clear that car is way too close.
