Bike camera footage any use for insurance or police?

Be careful man. I was really scared for you during those videos to the point of cringing. I really hope it doesn't catch up with you.

Sure I look for gaps but I always have a finger on the brake (and horn).

Looked like it was mainly up in the air.
Got to love AKL traffic.

lol your ride like a moron. Upset that a cyclist ran a red and you didn't?

[Asher]

Holy shit, i have never had as many close calls as you have in your video. I hope you reported all of those drivers.

I will agree what everyone else has said though, if you were to change the way you ride you wouldnt have so many butt puckering moments.

Glad I'm not the only one that see's mass amounts of ass hole drivers in Auckland especially those fuckn taxis !!

I find myself wondering over what time period those incidents occurred?

Gotta love that Royal Oak roundabout!
Now there's an example of genius "urban planning".

Done over 2 years, so it is actually not as bad as it looks. The funny thing is that on my Scooter I get regularly cut off, however on the Motorbike this occurs rarely. The noisy exhaust might helps, I guess this is another prove that an noisy Exhaust saves lives.

To be honest that riding is disgusting; many oncoming vehicles only would have pulled out in front because of poor positioning and the rider unwilling to prepare to slow down, no wonder the rider worries about insurance!

Sorry I disagree, yes some of the lane positing could be better but this is standard AKL driving.

I do over 50k km each year in a big ute and this happens all the time. If they think they can push in front they will.

Thanks, your guys also have to remember that is just the final moment and does not reflect what happed 10 sec before. Quite often you come up to a slower car and you just like to overtake. The scooter is just a 50cc so just open the throttle to fly past is not an option.

Yup, good old Auckland drivers 'style' - "I will make a gap for ME - even if there isn't a gap there, it's all about ME"

But YOU are also leaving yourself wide open to getting cleaned up if you carry on riding like that...

The funny thing is that the one and only time I drove in Italy this was how things worked. And I mean worked; traffic actually flowed very smoothly.

If you waited for a gap to change lanes into you would never get one. The convention was to just move over and the other drivers would make room for you (they didn't even use indicators). Because this was understood there was no angst and everybody got to where they wanted to go without getting uptight about it.

I think the thing in Auckland is that we're only just starting to get to the traffic density of the European cities. We've had it too good for too long.

You seem to hide behind cars on the roundabout then spring out in front of the cars.
You can see cars that are pulling out and seem to head for them.
Your helmet cam shows you dont look around at intersections.
You ride like a dickhead.
Heard of defensive riding.... No I didnt think so. You are bloody lucky to have been riding , for how many years???.
Im lucky I dont have to ride near you as you are a liability. Then to top it all off its everybody elses fault. Your a dickhead.

It’s not a helmet cam, my camera is just on my straps of my backpack. So it might looks like I am not locking. Be reassured that I am know what I am doing, just having some fun at the roundabouts and giving some drivers a reminder for look a bit more careful. Funny that your guys are only focus on my “bad” driving. However it’s seemed to be ok to run red lights, change lanes without indicating or doing u-turns in the middle of the road. Or like the last guy to drive on the wrong side of the road and run a red light at the same time.
