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

Losing it with someone in Russian will almost always be more effective in Russian than in Welsh.

This is true. People are merely confused when shouted at in Welsh

Motorcycle/scooter keys- simply turn to the left and pull?

Hippy may be able to answer this if my memory serves me right.

embarrassing if it goes wrong and you get stuck, though.
"er... hold on, let me just try that again..."

Exactly

It strikes me that throwing them down a drain would have been an interesting option.

Or they drive off with you dangling out of the window.

Had a little discussion with a motorbike this morning at the lights the Waterloo end of Bayliss Road, as he had pulled a dangerous undertake move on a small white van earlier nearly clipping an elderly cyclist (and probably hitting 50mph+) and then got stopped at the lights.
I asked him if that was a safe driving as he had only saved himself 0 seconds and what I got on loop was "What you going to do about it, what you going to do about it?" before then suggesting we get off and discuss like gentlemen.
As he was helmet/leather jacket/boots etc I decided probably best not take him up on the kind offer but would love to know if someone had the rest of the plate - grey street cafe racer on an '07 plate

That was my motorbike. It really wasn't responsible though, it was me you should have had words with.

How long have you been commuting to work on RPM?

Are you calling RPM a café racer?

anybody else noticed that Royal Mail van drivers are a little over-eager on the accelerator and over-taking recently (even when, reading-the-road-ahead, there is a visible red light)?

recall counting three instances of surprise..

Sounds about right. Last time I tried to claim from them I failed. They (used to, not to sure about now) 'self insure' ie. do not pay for insurance but hope that they have enough money in the bank to pay for accidents. It is thus in their interests to not pay anything out, as this is taking money away from their profits / making ther losses not so bad.....

Can't be bothered to report but DU52 HLE, black car, driving while on mobile, Ealing.

I got a reply from both RS and Breezemount today, re my incident with a delivery van.
Both stating it will be investigated, unfortunately RS aren't pushing for a conviction despite seeing CCTV.

Interesting one this morning.

I was cycling down the ramp, in primary, onto Embankment from Blackfriars to head towards Somerset house. All was well. I had an Addison lee driver honking at me but no change there. I continued in primary, and when I reached Embankment, I looked over my right shoulder, saw that all was clear, indicated right and moved across into the right hand lane, as this is where I need to be to turn off so that I can get to my place of work. I continue, cycling fast, so that I am keeping speed with the traffic. Then all of a sudden I hear the rozzers, I quickly turn around and see an undercover three series estate approaching from behind. I brake, indicate and pull over to my right, to the central reservation. Expecting them to fly past me, I get ready to clip back in and carry on. But only, they stop right next to me, roll down the drivers window and then the copper proceeds to shout at me, telling me that 'if you want to stay alive stop weaving in and out of traffic, stop cycling down the middle of the lane and stay on the left hand side of the left hand lane like all the other cyclists!!!' I told him that 'I am turning right and therefore need to be in the right hand lane! I am cycling in the middle of the lane so that I cannot be dangerously overtaken!' He then just sped off, ignoring what I said.

I got his number plate, or what I think was his number plate. But I just want to confirm that it's correct before I give it out publicly.

Was I in the wrong? Or was he just a cunt?

He was wrong.

He was also a cunt.

He was a wrong cunt.

And you should report him- the coppers should know better.

I reckon he was just a cunt yeah.

Once when I was turning right (on Russell Square IIRC) I got stopped in the middle of the road by a police car and the policeman said basically the same thing and that he was just looking out for my safety, then sat there awkwardly when I asked him how else I was supposed to turn right and that it seemed more dangerous to sit there talking to him with cars skimming to my left.

At the weekend out in Hampshire I was passed by a police 4x4 at high speed on a narrow blind bend. Fuckers are supposed to set an example. (Unless they've got the blues on, which he didn't)

CSB etc, but since we're doing these stories.

Report him and suggest he has cycle training.

Have you considered cycle training?

He was driving a BMW - he is probably a lovely chap in real life but then when you drive a beemer you become a cunt. Don't blame him, blame the car
