Not for action close pass here from last year. Driver was very angry that I'd recorded her on her phone (she received a warning from the police), so apparently that justifies subsequent dangerous actions.
Apparently they were 'phoning the school to say they'd be late, which constitutes an emergency phone call' and then accused me of threatening behaviour (despite video showing otherwise). They received a formal warning.
Why use the clear right hand lane to overtake when you could do this?
Coming through. I've got 5 seconds I need to save here.
A warning for this driver. Hopefully they won't do it again.
Received a warning. When they have the window down and it's this obvious, surely everyone can see them? Is it ignorance of the law or contempt for it?
Quick q for those more experienced: I caught someone y'day who was on a video call while driving (moving not stationary). The phone was in a cradle at all times though. Has anyone got anywhere when reporting similar given that it's not handheld? @_VN5 @TGonthebike
It's just too easy to spot them and once I spot them, I'd feel bad if I didn't report them...
First (and only) close pass that went to court (last summer). Result: 3 points and £340. Reduced for pleading guilty.
Why do people who drive untaxed, non-MOTed cars use their phones? In for a penny in for a pound?

@Verse0f75 @Bikery1966 I've never once had a travel time 'guesstimate' affected by a cyclist.
A rider of a government trial e-Scooter was seen by @ASPBristol riding on the pavement on Baldwin St. #Bristol. Behaviour that represents a risk of injury to pedestrians. Case went to court with a guilty plea submitted by the rider who received: £213 Fine £90 Costs £85 VS
Today it finally happened - I got to drive one of our EV’s in service!
Disappointing to see a new chicane barrier installed in Nuneaton which, rather than being an improvement for walking, wheeling, and cycling, reduces accessibility and comfort. I believe it's a @Warwickshire_CC @WarksHighways path + is surely contrary to the Local Transport Plan.
Unless it's someone who stands out how do they know it's the same person months apart? And if you deliberately close pass someone and endanger them as the pair admit to doing, then expect the victim to get angry. Shit driving from the pair of them road.cc/content/news/i…
@gazza_d This is exactly why I became a driving instructor. Zero empathy and self awareness, from the pair of them.
Just a normal day interacting with cyclists out in the sticks.. No drama’s & all civil. He waved me through and kindly stopped, we both mutually acknowledged each other.
@SkillsandLabour @2wheelsgoodBrum @JonnyStone @LumpyPete @Bikery1966 @Packology Does that make police drivers prejudiced in favour of drivers? 🤔
@Wombletom Well that took me about 90 seconds to figure out! 😂
@smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike Thankfully I think Huhning is still pretty rare, but there's element of prisoners' dilemma here. Please guilty to DWDCAI and get found guilty, Huhne the charge and probably still get DWDCAI on your partner but quite possibly have case fall apart.
@smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike As per any thread on this, bike and dash cams are excellent tools for dealing with crime as they show what crime took place, where and when, but technically the "who" is subject to this requirement for registered keeper to give an honest reply to the NIP
@smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike I can't swear that I think that driver is guilty, only the car. And therefore in reality, I have to fold as witness. And then I can tell police I think they are Huhning, but that's merely a hunch and a fraction of a second memory. But it's also a huge gamble for anyone to play
@smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike Driver who took the points may have only got a warning but the driver who earnt the points might already have 9 and, oh wait, another 6 would have just taken them to 15.
@smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike Was that also an attempt to get the nip dropped entirely on the grounds of the sick relative? Afaik, a genuine 999 call is such grounds, but nothing else.
@Hazeeboy4 @smallfoggyhouse @TGonthebike NDORS run the scheme. They keep the £95 until course completion. They retain £5 for the upkeep of the database. The course provider takes £45 leaving £45 for the police force where the offence occurred.
@Iestynaprobert @AS332L I had this realisation halfway through Rotterdam that I’d completely relaxed about my 6 year-old leading the way through a major city without a hint of danger and concern. Absolutely doing it right over there and a real dagger to the heart when we got off the ferry back in the UK
Oh wow, the public comments under this Solicitors' article about cyclist-submitted close passes is both wonderful and terrifying. #mgif #closepass #opsnap motoroffence.co.uk/close-pass-the…
@TGonthebike And no way is he sending the NIP back claiming his wife was driving (yes I've had that for a close pass)
