It's worse on the bottom one because only bikes go straight on, cars pull out assuming its clear. This is why the speedo on the video says ~20 mph max. I don't recall the car being that close, though I wasn't over-happy.<br /><br />Queues & Texting? Arley Hill is a classic previously documented. Saw someone there with a tablet last month -though without a helmet cam I couldn't show. On the same ride as the video shown here there was a school-run-mum texting, but the helmet camera wasn't positioned right for that video.<br />Bristol Traffichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17086394853567703369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803191245171285795.post-74390540154204798432015-03-28T09:18:41.594+00:002015-03-28T09:18:41.594+00:00The Mini that pulled-out @0.15 looked like it migh...The Mini that pulled-out @0.15 looked like it might be a bit close, but it's hard to judge distances with certainty because this is affected strongly by the angle of view of the camera, there seemed very little barrel-distortion, so I assume the angle of view isn't anything like the 170 degree fish-eye lenses normally used on such cameras.<br /><br />I didn't notice it in the video, but all too often traffic queues are held-up by people gazing gormlessly at their phones while sat in the queue and failing to pay attention and not noticing the light-change. If only there were some means of detecting / deterring phone use by drivers, the queues would move faster.<br />As for boys' toys, I hate them.amoebahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783694650121687459noreply@blogger.com
