DD,
I agree with you. Recording one's ride can be great for gathering evidence needed to convince the police/judges/lawmakers of a problem on the road with motorists. I don't agree that one should "sit" on said video waiting for another encounter with said car/driver. It should be turned over to the police as it could be the last bit of evidence that they need to get a particular driver off of the road for good.
Also I agree with you that recording one's ride can be a great way to learn
IF there is anything that they could do differently to avoid such situations in the future.
Such as when one is approaching a blind curve/corner or an intersection with limited sight lines slow the "f" down so that you have time to take evasive action
WITHOUT having to "brake hard." I'll often give a short toot on my horn when approaching a blind curve so that any cars coming from the opposite direction will know that there is someone on the other side of the curve that they can't see.
Again, I agree with you, posting them BF, or YouTube, or Facebook, etc. as a "can you top
THIS?" Isn't why one should be recording their rides.
