You may have noticed the retirement earlier this year of Jeremy Vine from the production of helmet cam videos. He has, he says, had enough of the online abuse and death threats, and you can’t blame him for that.
I found his videos captivating, at least visually. I couldn’t watch them with the sound turned up, because whenever I did that the sheer levels of abuse he got from a lot of drivers was rather triggering. It gave me the same shaky-handed, please-can-I-have-a-nice-cup-of-tea flight or fight rush I’ve experienced with similar experiences in the real world.
