camera footage will generally be regarded as irrelevant, even after your death. Definitely not evidence that could be used to prosecute, but commonly not even as a means to substantiate your complaint.
Really? Understand not enough for a court process but (unless you're a video editing whiz) surely it can establish a vehicle doing something illegal, for an enforcement agency to follow up?

Hard News: When "common sense" isn't, in reply to Stewart,
People don't like being compelled
That's the standard neoliberal wisdom, yes. I wouldn't rely on it where there's a decent explanation of a regulation's benefits - like staying on your side of that painted line down the middle of the road. Only the most self-centred teens are likely to feel disgruntled about being compelled to observe that.
However in this case, the coroner is not a transport safety expert and it shows. Compelling people to do something not especially beneficial is a harder ask.
