^pop that on into a police station. That's failing to stop after an accident, which they take quite seriously. He should at the very least have given you his insurance details.
They didn't take it very fucking seriously after a TfL blue badge vehicle did a hit and run on me last May, despite witnesses galore. All I got from them was his name and address about 6 months later. Still not been up there to seek revenge...

They may take it more seriously now as well because the MET will be dragged over the coals about their handling of victims of crime.

First post in a few months/years. Thought I'd share a moment that made my blood boil last night, so much so I riskily recorded it whilst cycling:
http://youtu.be/XLQRuN-OwPw
On watching the footage I realized what vexed me so much wasn't the way he was driving up the ass of the poor cyclist ahead, nor the fact that he was actually slowing my journey but quite simply HE WAS QUEUE JUMPING!!! This is England!!
Worth Roadsafe-ing big brothers??

Every single time I spot a taxi with Vodafone adverts I'm checking the numberplate. Being hit must still be on my mind. Guess it's hard to let go when you have video evidence but the police say they're not interested, and chasing insurance isn't worthwhile for the cost of a wheel-truing. Bloody irritating.
-
I need to find a driving insturctor whom drove really badly around me and told me to fuck off while eating crisp.
trouble is, he sped off very quickly not allowing me time to read the numberplate, but I vaguely remember it's a black vauxhall with either "I drive" or "I teach" written on it.
That really bothered you enough to report it here?

Ok, the car driver (never mid the scooter) is driving that far and undertaking in the CS8 cycle lane!
Report the cunt!

Yeah, I guest you are all right. I do need to alter my style, particularly at that section.
I am suitable told...
The best way to go through any road narrowing/pinch point or junction is through the middle of your lane. That doesn't mean belligerently sit in the middle of of every lane (....as many seem to do). Forget going through junctions like a second class citizen.

...and sisters! ;)
Roadsafe is now managed by police rather than civilians so much more worthwhile reporting everything.
Having said that you can't really see the numberplate and saying "You drive like a prick", while totally true, sometimes means the police won't persue it as they're effectively preparing a case for court and that might cause issues in court.
Definitely Roadsafe every issue you have. I've met the officer in charge of Roadsafe (as he came to take a statement about a driver I reported that has been prosecuted) and he's a really lovely guy.

Not quite sure what started it off but as I reached the lights at Green Lanes/Manor House this morning there was a driver of a skip lorry at 45 degrees across two lanes (lights were red) having a shouting match with a motorcyclist.
As I got there the motorcyclist seemed to have given up, the driver of the skip lorry on the other hand was waving an axe around and shouting "Do you want some you cunt"!
Unfortunately couldn't see the reg number or the firm from where I was, one of those times where I think a headcam would have been useful.

Some parts of CS8 have hours of operation (like many bus lanes). From memory, I think certain stretches of CS8 are Mon to Sat, 7am to 7pm. If the incident happened outside of the hours of operation, the driver would be allowed to use the CS lane - that does not mean it is advisable though. If it took place between the hours of operation, the driver should not be using a mandatory cycle lane.
The driver of this vehicle got a letter telling her not to attempt daft overtakes in future:

Classic argument after I (hands up stupidly) chased after some dickwad in a gold estate car (who buys that shit? >>> thread). At the stepney green/mile end rd crossroads i'm going straight on in the left lane, he clearly is in a mega rush to go save the world so simultaneously close passes me than sticks on his left indicator and essentially drives into me...
small intermission while I bomb it after him cos I'm pissed off
naughty wrong way round mini roundabout manouvre heads him off
Bla bla bla. Eventual conclusion from him:
"Don't you have brakes on your bike?..... Dick"
this is after such classic gems as
"Didn't you see me indicate"
and
"How'm I sposed to know you're there?" Err maybe evident by the way you actively swung round me to cut me up?????
Fucksake

Didn't you see him indicate? I hope you didn't scratch his car.

Where, Ed? IME driving instructors usually drive their instructor cars in a few local places so you might be able to search for instructors in that area and maybe recognise the company name / livery from there.
