Please report dangerous drivers to the police - Roadsafe. Report to plod, not just whinge here.

I disagree. Despite the lack of contact the fact that drastic avoiding action was required suggests to me a case of 'Driving without due care and attention'.

Driving without due care and attention means nothing, when I got knocked down I asked what action the police planned to take with the driver because the driving was plain dangerous and clearly they shouldn't be on the road. They said nothing as I wasn't critically injured so I questioned not even driving without due care and attention to which they replied that means nothing unless its a driving offence witnessed by a traffic cop.

There is no quick buck or statistic boost to made from cyclists so they don't care.

Late reply but as I was typing my post I was going to expand upon it to the effect of a without due care and attention charge only being likely if witnessed by the Police or caught on CCTV.
