@marcprecipice asks about cameras for recording incidents:

Q7. I had a scary experience with a driver in #Berkeley last week, in which they threw their car into reverse and backed up towards me while threatening to fight. It made me think again about bike cameras to record bad interactions. Do people use them? Do they find them valuable? What kind/approach (bike-mounted, helmet, etc.) if so? Thanks much.

@marcprecipice I have heard that having a helmet mounted camera is a good bad-behavior deterrent! I don't remember where I read that though.

@ascentale @marcprecipice Perhaps even just letting drivers think that you may have a camera: passpixi.com

@pete @ascentale @marcprecipice Maybe it's just me, but I have a real hard time deciphering that that's supposed to be a camera

@forteller @ascentale @marcprecipice Ah, perhaps a UK thing: It's the official symbol used on road signs.
