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

Even if Royal Mail HGVs and skip lorries had them the chance of me dying would be dramatically reduced.

LL09 LCM

Black cab, Clapham Common station. Objected to me filtering in front of him (into a huge gap) while he was stationary at lights behind a people carrier that was straddling two lanes. Used his front nearside bumper to push my rear wheel until I was in the left turn lane instead of the straight lane. He wasn't interested in a chat when I asked him if he'd seriously just did that, and I couldn't pursue the matter as I had to stop and make a note of his number.

2 questions:

1. Do I report it on Roadsafe or directly to Inspector Knacker as a collision?
   
2. Is there some kind of website where I can check I got the right taxi registration number for him? Didn't think to take a pic with my phone and my brain isn't amazing at holding a vehicle registration plate and a taxi number at the same time
   
   

Answer to Question 2:

http://ownvehicle.askmid.com/ will give you an answer if you care to tick to say that you own it, otherwise, some of the parts places will tell you.

Anyhow:

YES LL09LCMIS showing as insured on the Motor Insurance Database today.

The details on the MID are:

Vehicle Make/Model:OTHERS LONDON TAXIS TX4 BRONZE

Also consider we buy any car and the PCO database (will also give you the Taxi license number)

Oops: the PCO only works for private hire, not black cabs

Yeah, had a look at the PCO db last night as well. Pain in the arse - I can partially remember the licence number but I'm not convinced it's totally accurate. But the reg plate is definitely accurate as I did what DJ advises in this thread and shouted his reg number out at the time several times until I was able to pull over safely and write it down. I suppose the reg number on its own will be good enough, I don't have much faith in Knacker to actually do anything about it so it's probably academic.

This is the exact same junction I was moaning about on the last page in this self-same thread 4 days ago, too.

Hornsey this morning:

A very aggressive driver pulled a telescopic baton from his car and waved out of the window at another driver this morning. He chased after him driving a grey (Astra?) estate reg: S250 JKO

Can't imagine what would happen if it was an incident with a cyclist.

Any ideas how to go about reporting this?

Calling the police, maybe?

Calling at the time may have been more appropriate though, it's it's possible that any report now would be ignored, given that there was no real incident (that you observer, in any case) to report.

For lulz, you can call the police and suggest that the long metallic tubular object might be a firearm...

How many of those 700 crashed?

There's bike sheds on the A9?

Telescopic Baton? Grey Astra? Sounds like this lot.

On my way home this evening, stopped at the lights on Park Crescent waiting to cross Marylebone Rd into Regent's Park. Lights turned green and I set off only to have to anchor on as a #27 bus came barrelling through the junction.

I'm absolutely convinced they must have jumped the red, wouldn't be surprised if it was by more than a second. Is there owt I can do to get the cunt hung?

This is why I bought a helmet cam. No interest in You Tube videos but it is my 'black box' when the next tool in a car knocks me over.

Hung is present tense. If you hang someone, you don't leave them there.

You do, as a warning to others

I think that was the twunt (the cyclist, not the driver) who was filming himself riding a pissing recumbent around Vauxhall Cross and at the same time was berating another cyclist for going up the inside of a stationary HGV, under one of the bridge sections. What was it going to do, suddenly turn left into a brick wall?

Look out, it's the revolting pedants!

In any case, roadsafe don't appear to be interested unless a crime was committed and tfl will only release footage if I'm on it, which I'm not sure is the case.

Appears the only option is to report it at a police station, but I can't imagine them being particularly bothered.

Recumbent-man might be a bit of a dick (apparently reciting the registration of every single car suggests as much) but he was spot on in the other video you mention. The guy attempting to go down the left of the HGV could've easily been minced.

Roadsafe will refer you to a police station if a crime has been committed. The incidents that Roadsafe records are bad, inconsiderate, shitty driving etc... that probably would not result in a conviction on their own merits.

What was it going to do, suddenly turn left into a brick wall?

Drift to the left when it began moving again, either to avoid other traffic, or if the road narrows slightly. In that circumstance the cyclist would have nowhere to go - they'd just be pushed into the wall. The lorry's mirrors would probably stop them being crushed against the wall, but a rider's handlebars are wider than an HGV's mirrors and if your bars are twisted suddenly you will often end up on the floor. Not where you want to be when you're beside an HGV.

I seriously recommend you get yourself some cycle training before you get killed or seriously injured if that's your attitude. Seriously.
