I don't often say this

I know quite a few people who record their rides as a matter of course, just in case something like this happens. For all the good it appears to be doing this particular rider.

I ride my motorcycle with a camera on my helmet just because once I saw a hit-and-run incident, and I wish I'd been able to record that to be able to give the victim the memory card with the footage.

Turns out, I got to use it to defend my own story when someone decided to go yoink and turn left in front of me without warning, leaving me in the hospital for a good healthy five weeks. The cops and the other guy's insurance company reviewed the footage and came to the conclusion that it was entirely the car driver's fault. I sure wish I'd had a chance to use my footage to defend someone else, but at least the rolling footage worked to my advantage.

I watched an SUV full of kids cut off a transport truck carrying what looked like steel girders. The driver was smiling to himself as he took the intersection ahead of his turn.
