helmet mounted camera for safety when riding -- anyone?

That's a good approach in general, but it doesn't help identify the driver who hits a cyclist (intentionally or not) and skips. The point of video is to have evidence. I read recently that the majority of drivers who seriously injure or kill a cyclist or pedestrian don't stop.

I feel like bike and pedestrian use of roads should be covered in drivers ed and driving written exams. I learned nothing about either. Everything I learned about cyclists I learned from my cyclist parents who are pretty decent drivers. Not everyone is blessed with this knowledge and ignorance is NOT bliss.

+1 Hawaii has done a reasonable job with that and even adding environmental info....and even Texas has it as part of all drivers education classes and exams. Both accomplished by bike advocacy groups.

I will have to check with the state advocacy group to see if they have been active on this issue. If not, I'm writing some letters later when I have time. If so, I'm still writing letters (to legislators) haha.

This just seems like common sense to me.
