He is really worried about it because he has so many points he could lose his license
That raise more alarm than anything.

i'd bet most drivers can't remember doing it because it's not a really scary potentially life changing event for them, just another overtake.
point 2 - pretty much proves that he's a crap driver
point 3 - would he not report a crime if it happened in front of him and there were no police around?i'm sure you put these points across.
sometimes it's just not worth the argument.::edit:: way too slow!

He cannot remember even doing it (it was on a drive back from Cornwall)
I don't think this is incredible. If you don't cycle there's a pretty good chance that you don't realise that close overtaking someone at 40mph is really dangerous, you do it to other cars after all.
Education around it is getting better but still really needs to be hammered home. Plenty of drivers are dicks but plenty just don't consider it.

I had another infuriating conversation with my father at the weekend.
He was speaking with my auntie and apparently my uncle has had a letter from the police because a cyclist sent footage of an incident and they are going to prosecute (not fixed penalty so must have been serious).
Several incredible remarks from their conversation:
1) He cannot remember even doing it (it was on a drive back from Cornwall)
2) He is really worried about it because he has so many points he could lose his license
3) It is wrong for cyclists to have cameras because they are doing the police's job
I was then subjected to the 'cyclists go through red lights' shit.
I am not allowed to argue with my dad anymore because apparently it upsets him.
