I ride my bike around the Adelaide Hills - no worries as long as you keep left, don't cut corners etc... Sadly when I drive around the Hills about 10% of riders are grossly inconsiderate and infuriating and fail to follow the road rules. I can't report these people to the police as they are not registered and have no number plate
The worst is the groups riding 4 wide on blind corners going up hill at 5 kmph when I'm doing 70 kmph in an 80 zone. Very scary for all involved.
The worst thing that happened to me was when I went to overtake a bike he cut the corner in front of me and hit my car - fortunately he did not fall off - but when I stopped he abused me so I left him to it. I got a call from the police as he had reported me. I went to the police station and explained to the police what had happened. As a result he was charged with driving without due care, failure to keep left, and making a false statement to police. He lost his car licence for 6 months and $2000 fine
So I reckon the GoPro is a good way to go but remember it won't be much use to you if you are dead under a car - so stick to the road rules and be super careful on your bike
