I wouldn't have thought it was unfair in principle 1 terms to
disclose the footage of a car accident to the company which insures
it. Neither driver could reasonably expect the tapes to be kept
private in the event of an accident. And wouldn't para 6(1) of
Schedule 2 also be satisfied - its in the legitimate interests of the
applicant, and I can't see that a driver's interest in, for example,
concealing his or her careless driving would be sufficient to make
the disclosure "unwarranted".
