Fucking hell, riding home from work last saturday on a back road, i have to take a right turn while i see someone coming from that direction, riding slow and (i thought) checking to see if there was nothing coming from his right side. I take the most inside line through the corner possible because he was acting a bit strange, and all of sudden he is riding right at me and steers away at the last moment, hitting the side of my knee and motorcycle. I managed to stay upright, being a bit shocked, and see him speeding away. I turn around, manage to take him over and he stops, gets out of his car and tells me: ''what are you going to do about it? Nobody has seen it''. I check for damage, nothing on my motorcycle, not even a single little scratch that i can see. He admits to being on his phone while driving, still laughing at me and telling me i can't do anything about it. I call the police, they say they can't do anything as there is no damage and no witnesses. I felt so fucking shitty, this guy was on his phone, driving, and he hit me on my motorcycle and i can't do shit about it and he knows it. Afterwards, i call the police again because i wanted to make a notice from this, they tell me they won't because there is no evidence and it's my word against his.
I'm thinking about buying some kind of camera, i do have a gopro but it's big and old which means it doesn't work really good and the quality is pretty bad. Anybody using a helmet camera or some kind of dashcam on his bike and which one?
