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

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that some over-compensation is going on with that plate.

But not the light?

i don't get it... what does it mean?

Just reported my first incident via local police telephone line, very helpful, no idea why I've never done before, got a feeling this is gonna be a daily task from now on.

No injury, just aggressive driving, black range rover, black windows, subtle.

So I've now had replies from TFL, Roadsafe, and the company concerned. I was impressed by the first two but the one from Seales Haulage seemed to be suggesting that the driver couldn't have been at fault because (and this is a direct quote):

"We was asked by a cyclist if he could interview and video one of our drivers and on a normal day around London to get the drivers perspective, and see how dangerously cyclist drive and the situations that they get in"

Obviously your fault then.

Ah, they must have got that cyclist who we all elected to speak on our behalf. If the prime cyclist said the van driver was in the clear, it's definitely your fault.

Are they even literate ?

Can they translate it from chav to English?

In the haulage industry, that counts as prose of Shakespearian quality.

Yesterday I got trapped between a backwards rolling minicab and a forwards creeping black cab. Idiots. The black cab knocked my back wheel and I got a vaguely apologetic wave from the driver. Sometimes it feels like no matter what I do, no matter how well I think I'm riding (taking primary etc), bad luck follows me around.

Then today I saw a tipper truck jump a red light. What the fuck???

Didn't get any licence plates and feel annoyed with myself for that.

Kinda given up on reporting people driving with phones nowadays, especially when the police said there's no point because he's stationary in traffic.

You and Indra should not ride together.

yesterday morning a tipper truck passed me super close on a wide and otherwise empty road and jumped a red further along well after it had changed

Reported?

Anyone know if the bus lane along euston road going past Warren Street, Euston and Kings Cross is timed, i.e. non-buses, bikes and black cabs are allowed to drive in it at certain times?

Because if not then the unlicensed minicab who drove into it whilst he was alongside me, then shouted at me for taking the lane (despite me keeping up with traffic) when I remonstrated with him is even more of a fucking cocknuckle that he first seemed.

I of course failed to get his registration. Going to have to start riding with a camera again.

According to the motorbiker who I talked to afterwards I wasn't the only person he was a dangerous cunt to. I really should have got his reg - hope the young lady he had in the back got home ok and unmolested by him.

Thanks for that. What a thunderous shit.

Balham Hill heading south just after clapham south tube at the top of the hill before heads down. Shaved ape in a white concrete mixer lorry P012 BVE over takes 4 cyclists at speed causing driver in oncoming lane to sound horn and said lorry to edge in towards the kerb.

I hand gestured which he must have seen as he beeped when I passed at next set of lights.

Wound down window and I tried to tell him that he was driving dangerously I wish I could say a constructive exchange followed but the ape thought his driving was beyond reproach.

Reported to roadsafe and i'm charging up the go pro tonight, these cunts have to be stopped.

The law still applies.

Hells bells, I had the misfortune of driving a van across London twice yesterday. I'm calling out pretty much every single driver I came across.

Special scorn for the bloke in the Mercedes who overtook me while I was doing 30mph up Westwood Hill in Lewisham. And the idiot on the A3 who was so determined to cut in and make the slip road for New Malden that he actually took me with him down the junction. Oh yeah, and the guy in the Scirroco who tailgated me through Thornton Heath before pulling a nifty overtaking move on the brakes at the left into Buelah Hill in Crystal Palace. I could go on....

Mercedes, Audi, VW? I see a pattern.

The holy trinity of BELLEND:

Private plate

Bingo! OK, the Audi A3 driver who tailgated me all the way along the M11 diversion through Harlow/BishStort last night had a silver car, but otherwise he/she ticked all the boxes.

I'm starting to wonder whether Audi drivers are actively trying to live up to their stereotype, or whether there is a cuntitude test you have to pass before you're allowed to buy one.
