Boy racers / mini-cameras

So I'm cycling down Pitfield Street and some boy racer overtakes me on the right in a way that I had to swerve left to avoid being taken out by the back of his car and then brake hard to avoid hitting him as he slowed down to turn into one of the streets to the left.

I obviously shouted watch where you're going you tosser loud enough for him to hear as the pulled up, shouted "come on then" and waited.

I didn't really feel like pulling up, taking my rucksack out to pull my phone out to make a note of his number plate so have nothing to report him with. Which brings me to my question... anyone know of a mini-camera I can hang off my belt that's good enough to take a snap of a number plate from say 30 yards? Something cheap enough that I don't care if it gets broken.

Cheers!

...and being able to boot up and take a photo in the shortest amount of time would be a bonus I imagine.

getting my phone out of my pocket, launching the photo app and taking a photo can take a loooong time.

There is a whole thread about this which will have the info you need, search for 'reporting dangerous drivers' or something similar

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
