Chapona Bicyclette

Mostly cycling close passes, people on mobile phones that didn’t realise the law changed last year, and general crap that motorists just wouldn’t dream of doing in their driving tests, so why are they doing it now?

Most clips are from my GoPro Hero4 Session camera, mounted on my bicycle helmet. It’s light, battery lasts about an hour, so perfect for my commute to work. Have a Chill Bullet camera on my helmet pointing backwards. Battery life is better, about 2-3 hours, but picture quality not as good.

Some get reported to the Met Police or Surrey Police, some don’t quite meet evidential standards, so will end up here.

Last year I submitted around 400 clips to the police, about 120 were actioned, be this a warning letter, notice of intended prosecution (NIP), and 3 have proceeded to court where I’ve given evidence. 

I do hope my humble efforts are hoping make s the roads a safer place, and encourage other cyclists to invest in cameras and help spread the word.
