I think it is vital to report as many misdemeanours as possible to the companies involved so that rogue drivers can be rooted out before they kill someone. After I reported 5 HGV drivers from the same company (for reading/mobile use etc) I was passed to their accident claims advisor and they started to take notice.
I also received this reply from another company when I reported excellent driving:
I am always delighted to receive such a commendation from members of the public, as it shows our policy, procedures and efforts to improve road safety are having a positive impact on the communities within which we operate. As a company, we have been working with Transport for London and the Freight Operator Recognition Scheme (www.tfl.gov.uk/fors) for a couple of years, and the safety of cyclists and other vulnerable road users is always at the forefront of our plans.
Please rest assured, we have identified the driver concerned, and shall be rewarding his driving skills and attitude. Thank you for taking the time to bring the matter to our attention. We, as a Company, are proud to be associated with such drivers.
