Not that I've become less cautious, but I do temper my reactions now since I know I'm being recorded (by me).
One thing about these action cams though is that the ultra-wide angle lens makes things look further away than they are. When someone passes you closely, you know it is less than 2' because you could easily reach out and touch their side mirror. In the video, it looks like we have loads of room.
