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

Under s. 170 of The Road Traffic Act 1988 it is an offence for the driver not to give their (correct) name and address following an accident.

Plod seem to prosecute for this, as it's a piece of piss to make stick (as opposed to a charge of dangerous / careless driving).

He could have simply written his phone number down incorrectly. Hopefully the police have the time to look into it.

got left hooked this morning at the bottom of loampit hill, I was 'filtering' on the left using the bike lane, the traffic wasn't moving so the asshole in the cream bmw decided an inpromptue turn left and shortcut was in order taking me with him. I was going slow enough to hold it up right follow him round while resting on the car and unclipped in time to stop the topple at the end. He slowed once he'd made the turn then wheel span off into the distance

Didn't get the number plate (started with a K), a couple of people saw it and asked if I was ok and that was that... bastard. Really narked I wasn't quick thinking enough to get the plate and shop him

Lucky escape, nicely executed. Recent events suggest you need improve your visibility. Have you considered a bigger beard, more elaborate calf tattoos, or being taller?

To be perfectly honest, if drivers can't see you in your current state the only option is a hump rucksack cover. Sorry.

but this guy could only see my front (if he'd bothered to look in his mirror) so unless I wear it on my head or like a Cameo pouch then it's of no real use

Dickhead, glad you're OK. No cctv or owt nearby?

Obviously I'm calling you a dickhead, not the car driver.

No....other way.

Haven't even thought about that to be honest... might just report it anyway on the off chance

twat

no, wait the other way

Yep. Form gets sent to Kent, I get reference number in post. That's what she told me.

Past two times it's actually gone like this: complain, get letter six months later telling me they'll take no further action.

It goes to their Criminal Justice Unit in Sidcup. They should write to the registered keeper and get his details including their insurance and pass this on to you. You can then go direct to the insurers with your claim. Still an uphill struggle though.

There is a Roger Nash living in Peabody Avenue SW1V which is the area the first part of the phone number covers. His number is 020 7821 5447. Long shot but maybe worth a punt.

Getting that phone call would be a lovely surprise if he'd deliberately written it down wrong.

To be perfectly honest, if drivers can't see you, get out of the bike lane

fixed.

That address is just down from where I was hit. Few hundred yards away.

fixed.

Seriously Ed?

Can you mitigate for people not checking mirrors?
What if I'd gone the other side and a U-turn had been flavour of the month?

You should've been in primary, waiting in the traffic jam. Only yourself to blame.

The driver is at fault, but there are way to avoid such collision.

I do realised I came across sounding dickish, so I do apologise for that.

Second chance to notice the sarcasm

Just now along Bishopsgate some mental woman in a Chevrolet kept beeping cyclists, did a really dodgy over/undertake across a zebra crossing, shouted and beeped some more at the junction, illegally went up shoreditch high street (with her horn on the whole time) and finally went through a red light to go up kingsland road. I hope she got caught by traffic cameras because I thought people were going to get hurt.

Had a lovely moment with a driver the other afternoon.

I was in primary in the ASL and just before the lights turned green I noticed the 4x4 behind me begin to undertake me I turned to my left to see the lady using her iPad for directions. I said "pull over and do that you dumb bint" and was told to "mind your business"

She sped off before I could form a witty retort.

I'm calling myself out here; this afternoon by Brittania Swimming pool, drove straight in front of a guy on a bike, didn't see him until he was in my passenger window. I've no excuses, thought I was paying attention, obviously not, if you're reading this, genuinely sorry I've been thinking about it all afternoon.

No need to apologise, just don't do it in the first place.

Witty retorts don't really do much.. I would just go straight to http://www.met.police.uk/roadsafelondon/
if I were you.. Maybe it's because the last time I made a comment to a cretin I seriously thought I was going to get shot.
