Bret Cahill considered Fri, 18 Nov 2016 19:31:56 -0800 (PST) the perfect time to write: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg-C3XBzYh8 Skip to 3:44 Nice to see motorists rushing to help a damsel in distress. Cynics might claim the majority of motorist in this situation would only be concerned with their own convenience and just drive on by. IBM will need to come up with cheaper memory storage to keep track of all the bad motorists. Thankfully, both the capacity and price of non-volatile storage are improving sufficiently fast. I can get a card the size of my little fingernail and 0.72mm thick, which holds more than 12,000 times as much as my first hard disk, which measured 5.25 x 8 x 1.6", and 100,000 times the size isn't far off - it's already possible to store a terabyte on a thumbnail sized SDXC card. That's around 2 days of continuous 1080p HD video, or 12 hours on the micro format ones. So you can even store enough detail to make sure nothing is missed, and power requirements are low enough that a fairly small capacitor will take care of ensuring that there is no data corruption if the power is lost. The biggest problem is the ability of computer operating systems to manage drives of such rapidly increasing capacity. Once the police can be relied upon to act on such evidence reliably, driving standards are likely to improve very fast (or public transport to increase it's capacity to cope with all the ex-drivers who can't or won't learn). The biggest problem is political will to give the police the resources to act on all the video they would receive if all drivers and cyclists with videos are encouraged to submit them, particularly when it would be a short term commitment (once drivers had learned that driving dangerously had consequences, and the worst were removed from the roads, the need for such additional resources would fade fast. And of course, the decent drivers would have far less congestion to deal with. I could get a hundred or more cyclists taken off the road for illegal actions by just filming over a ten mile journey on one day. So just a few thousand motorists with cameras could get every cyclist off the road within a week or so, now that would be a Christmas present to hope for. |

There is no problem with taking video of cyclists riding on a footway, or riding the wrong side of a traffic island, or going through a red light, these are a few of the illegal things that I noticed cyclists doing during a shortish journey earlier today. Now how those could be imaginary, I do not understand, can you explain? The cyclist with two heavy bags of shopping hanging off his handlebars was one of the most ridiculous I have seen this week, he was wobbling all over the place, but at least he was riding in the road. |

I nipped out to the corner shop this evening. There is a ramp for access to this shop, there is no other access. There was a bicycle dumped across the ramp. I stamped all over the spokes of the bicycle. I have big feet. When I came out this bellend was looking at his bicycle with dismay. |
