I've tried endless times trying to place my camera In a decent spot but always seems to point In the wrong direction, now I've stuck my camera to some double sided adhesive tape, which Is placed on the side of the visor so no paint Is damaged.

Here's A pic -

Had to take the pic with my webcam, i'm saving up for a smaller cam but this Is all i have for now, Is this considered illegal or is It ok?

There Is a screen at the back that does not distract me but may distract other drivers, should I cover It up?[/img]

About 70, If you're saying that It will fly off, I'd probably agree, but I won't be using dual carriage ways with the cam on, If I did It will be properly reinforced so It doesn't fly off.

It you secure it right any speed is OK. Many skydivers wear Go Pro cameras on their heads normal freefall is anywhere from 105mph to 145mph. Head down and shuttlecock formations can go anywhere up to 300mph.
