It's personal preference, of course, but I like the camera to be mounted further back, like on the roll bar. This allows for more visual cues than windshield mounting.

In order to learn the most from a DE, you want to see what your hands are doing (inputs) as well as their result (ie. the view out the windshield). This allows for a wider field of vision on playback, not to mention that you don't have something distracting your vision as you drive.

I'm very leery about securing to your windshield with only suction cups for a HSDE (might not even be allowed). A more secure mount should be found for HSDE use.

Just my $.02.
