does encourage better riding. If a rider does something stupid in the
moments before a driver does (even if the two incidents are completely
unrelated), it makes it more difficult to use the video as evidence.
Well, it may be that they edited out their poor behavior in the copy
they showed the police. But since thy displayed it to the whole world,
I sort of doubt it.
Doesn't mitigate what the driver did in the least, though. Running stop
signs, and going straight in a turn lane without even looking did not in
any way contribute to the collision that happened a couple of minutes later.
