Will I ever wish I had a camera, probably, just not very much.
BTW- I have been cut off, it isn't all that rare, but if I had video, I strongly doubt I could ever motivate the police to issue a citation based on it.
Fair enough. I have numerous videos of being right and left hooked and closely passed, but most of them I've never even attempted to make a report to local law enforcement either. I only report, on average, 2 motorists a year, and those motorists have really gone out of their way to endanger my personal safety. Though I initially started riding with cameras on the basis of garnering better info on aggressive motorists, my videos have ended up being mostly of my local urban landscape changes, some really awesome sunsets, and noteworthy occasions, along with some aggressive motorists in the mix, of course.
