The above post just makes you
The above post just makes you look like a spoiled brat, throwing their toys out of the pram because they are not agreeing with you.Nice conflagration … Flat earthers, moon landing sceptics, anti-vaxxers … All have nothing to do with still images that do not prove *beyond reasonable doubt* that this car jumped the lights.
“.. but as it’s of no
“.. but as it’s of no interest to me whether people on here ‘endorse’ the proof of obvious red light offences, ..”Why ask then?
Based on how the images have
Based on how the images have been presented within this thread:
Image 1 (Test Image)
Due to the angle of the camera, it appears that the vehicle has stopped prior to the stop line. There is nothing in the image to convince a viewer that the vehicle is moving. The angle of the camera prohibit any motion blur that is likely to be evident on the wheels that would indicate movement.
Image 2 (vehicle in the ASL)
While the image shows that the vehicle has crossed the first stop line, again, it appears that the vehicle has not crossed the second stop line; and again, there is nothing to indicate that the vehicle is moving.
Image 3 (8 legger approaching the lights)
I am assuming that the target is the silver car as certainly the truck appears to have been doing nothing wrong.
There is nothing to say that the silver car passed through the lights on anything other than green.As the images have been released as single images in different comments within the thread, and 2 out of the 3 images not even having a DTG stamp, there is nothing to link the 3 images together.
As a means of proving the silver car did indeed jump the lights, the images need to be as either a complete stills film strip, or as a video.
To the uninvolved viewer, the only thing that these stills prove is that in Image 2, the silver vehicle was stopped in the ASL box. The image clearly shows that the vehicle is stopped as there is no motion blur to indicate otherwise.
Unless you have presented this occurance as a moving video or as a complete stills filmstrip, I am not supprised that the Poice no further action was considered as in isolation, only image 2 shows a potetial offence, but even then it still shows compliance with Rule 178.

** Many years ago (must be close to 30 odd years), when I was a truck driver I once had to take a 7.5 tonner down the A2 (I think it was … Somewhere near Woolwich anyway). At the time, there was a 7.5t weight and 7ft 6 width restriction in place, marked by steel poles.
It was a typical council job; crap tarmac had rutted from constant cars, vans and bin wagons.
So … It was 7ft6 at the bottom, but after a couple of feet, the poles had bent inwards to such an extent that my 7ft trucklet wouldn’t fit.
It made a bit of a bang when the headboard hit the poles …
I was blocking the road for a good 10 mins before people had enough sense to let others back up so I could reverse out.
I was slightly … Nay, horribly embarrassed by it at first, but then when I realised that none had the brains they were born with, I didn’t care.“If he lost his driving

I’ve an older model Fly 12CE on the front and a Fly 6 2nd Gen on the back.I have no issues with image clarity, although it will struggle in low to zero light – as will all cameras on moving vehicles.
The image stabilization on the 12CE is first rate; I even record gravel rides and the cameras cope well with majority terrain.
I’ll also always read it the number plate of the offending vehicle, just to reduce ambiguity.I’ve never had any problems with water ingress on either camera, and they have both been out on storm conditions as well as the all persuasive drizzle that southern Scotland wears like a jumper.
The ability to record segment lengths and loop recording is a must; segment lengths make it so much easier than one continuous recording.
If you want to see video from multiple times of day and weather conditions, I record and upload all my rides to YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCsfBOmOh2FrA5Jm7__8yAxA
I hope they aren’t letting the clock run down to the court date, hoping you’ll take a stupid offer. Also, if this is the case, I hope any settlement penalises them for this approach.Thank you.
They’re not going to wear me down … my solicitor and advocate won’t let that happen. It’s not that I don’t want the money … I’ll need it for years down the line when the arthritis sets in.
Luckily I’m with British / Scottish Cycling, so I’m not having to cover costs.

3 years and two months on, I’m still waiting patiently.
There’s a limitation in Scotland (dunno if it applies in England), that if there is no settlement on 3 years, you can take them to the High Court.
Papers have been filed, and we’re now waiting for either a sensible offer, or court; court will be potentially in March 2022, 3 years, 7 months after the collision.Luckily, although my injuries are life changing, I’ve not been left needing specialist medical equipment or care.

Hero 7 usually works if you have a reasonably bright front light aimed to catch the rear plate as they pass you too close. The problem is the failing ancient PC software, which won’t allow access to the GPS data- generally it acquires it OK.If you are running a gps device at the same time, download the gpx.

You’re always going to have problems in low light with number plates.
Rearward facing cameras often have to cope with high brightness areas caused by the headlights, and this tends to make the number plate – located in-between these two bright light sources – in comparative shadow.
You’re then up against dynamics as the camera will automatically adjust to cope with the lights … Which throws the shadows even further in to darkness.
Font cameras normally have a slightly easier task, however number plates are reflecting, so shining a light directly on them will often just cause overblown highlights.
The other issue is image stabilization; most cameras will suffer from vibration in low light condition as the aperture has to be more open to let more light in, so a decent readable low light shot of a moving numberplate while on a platform that’s it’s self is moving and shaking is asking a lot.I use a Fly 12 CE and a Fly 6 (first gen) and they are both pretty good on lit domestic roads, but the image stabilization on the 12 suffers on unlit country roads.
Unless you’re still in blue-hour, the 6 is almost useless on unlit roads in the dark … But then most cameras will be.Best option I’ve found is to just read the numberplate out in phonetics loud enough so that the mics can pick you up.
I record all my rides and TBH
I record all my rides and TBH I’m not really bothered if they are on Strava or not.
As long as they are on Garmin (while I’m using Garmin), then that’s all I’m bothered about.
I’m not bothered about PRs, medals, segments, KOMs, comparing with anyone else – I couldn’t care less that I am 1978 out of 2010 on a segment.
I don’t ride to feed numbers; I ride because I’ve got a wife and four kids and it gets me out of the house for 3 or 4 or 5 hours.
I realise that I might have a slightly contrary view to most of the readership … but I’m not entirely alone.
