Yeah, right. Using a video camera while driving probably isn't an offence, eh? Or did you mean pedestrian operators, aiming a visible camera at oncoming traffic? You'd certainly see a few emergency applications of the brakes...

If I find out where the piece of s**t who came within an inch of killing me on my journey home tonight lives, he won't just be worried about criminal damage - he'll need major surgery. BMW, green, north Bristol, and talking on a mobile phone. 17:10, N914 YOG, young, black driver. Oh dear, have I accidentally published his details? What a shame. I did what you're supposed to do and reported it to the police. Guess what? nothing will happen according to the officer I reported it to. Is it any wonder that people take the law into their own hands? If following the law means that criminals who threaten my life will never be convicted, then maybe it's time for direct action.
