Go-Pro does not do low light very well... also battery lasts about an hour and memory card needs to be big and fast.. you also need at least an i5 computer to process the files.. and its recommended unless you have the best gear and oodles of time to edit just use it on 720 or 960 as 1080 fullHD is resource hungry..
Great Camera though

not many cameras are good in low light unless you spend a serious amount of money on night vision cameras!
i can leave my phone plugged in on charge so can record all day long (or untill i run out of memory) whereas my handheld video camera wont record when charging and i suspect a go pro wont as they'll want you to fork out on spare batteries at some exuberant cost ( you can buy alot of memory cards for 300quid).
have been thinking about using my old phone as its smaller so wont bounce as much but still does hd video and just leaving it in there as a dash cam

or this

if i was in the market id go for the
www.amazon.co.uk/Gear-Pro-High-Definitio...FS5W8/ref=pd_cp_ph_0
for the price you cant go wrong,comes with pleanty of mounts bby the looks of things, could get 2 for less than 100quid and have one front and rear ;)
the other one only comes with helmet and handlebar mounts, pretty useless for a car so you would then have to buy other mounts if there available.

I have been thinking about one of these for road use - they record a loop and I can't find out how long that is. There are others with GPS registering that could be useful for laning.
