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

Yah will do if they don't get back to me.

It's annoying because you can't hear what the [strike]prick[/strike] nice man shouts at me. But his face...full of rage, fear, loathing. Amaze.

Obviously off his nut in the depths of an ether binge.

Coming home tonight, at York Way outside the guardian building. I was in the right hand lane going straight on. At the lights changed I moved on, then looking over my shoulder to merge to the left. There is a black Astra in the space coming towards me, I'm looking and signalling left, saying "really?" to myself. He then drops back and speeds past.

At the next junction he's slowing waiting for me. As I draw level he's asking "Whats that you said mate? What you mumbling?". Once I tell him, he's like "Yeah really mate." And launches into a rant about how I should stay in the cycle lane where I belong, how he's pissed off as he's had a bad day. He doesn't need this crap on his way home.

As I try to point out that there is no cycle lane at that section and that I was in the right lane. He tells me how he "Doesn't give a fck" and that he'll "knock me out". At this point I say fair enough as I notice his hand is on the door handle and I don't really want to get into a fight.

As the lights change I can hear him saying to his mate in the car how he "doesn't give a fck". I wait for him to drive off (he doesn't notice the light is green straight away), before trying to make a note of his number plate.

I'm fairly sure I'm not in the wrong here with my use of the lanes, but I've not checked the highway code yet. I also don't think I've got enough to report it to the police, which is annoying.

Beach, you are 100% in the right.
I know that junction, the left hand lane is left turn only, but cyclists often use it to go straight on because they don't know better or feel it's safer. Regardless, there's no excuse for this driver being a helmet over it. He sounds a bit basic.

I'm also familiar with this area, and agree that you're 100% in the right. A lot of drivers seem to go fucking mental here which I put down to not being very bright.

Cool thanks, good to know. I've been cycling through it for about a year now and it's only the first time I've had any bother.

Bad day for white van man:

White Van Man Has A Bad Day - YouTube

Not my clip. Baffling behaviour.

Baffling behaviour

^ Had to look at the link to the thread on Reddit after watching this:

http://www.reddit.com/r/ukbike/comments/22cxex/white_van_man_has_a_bad_day/

Also slightly baffled by what caused this? But seems like it was handle correctly by the police/courts for a change.

WVM tries to squeeze past as the cab approaches, cyclist taps van, driver goes crazy ape bonkers.

Muppet.

Almost of side swipped and brake tested and almost driven into by a lovely chap claiming to be a police officer. I got the whole event on my gopro. also I have a pic of the face rego and a pic of a badge. Road safe or to the police station
Give way side apparently don't apply to cyclists and he tried to start a fight as well

Both.

Then YouTube, twitter, road.cc :)

I just roadsafe the guy and a email and going to pop to my local station in tomorrow. According to him he does not need to give way to bicycle because they are not cars

I doubt he's a copper, because that's such a dumbass thing to say. In which case, he's impersonating a police officer. Or police officers can be dumbasses, I'm not sure which.

Both.

Maybe one of these would help.

Bit overkill really.

You could argue that his flag is part of the bike, so they need to pass three feet away from that. Otherwise what are you measuring from? All a little silly really, but I totally understand his frustration.

Maybe one of these would help.

I think I spotted him when I was back home recently. Saw the flag, missed the helmet cam. FWIW - Channel 2 News is the TV version of the Daily Mail in Houston. Terrible.

Not London/Roadsafe but gmp reported this similar:

Shiit.

Cunt.

Manchester police say this driver targeted the cyclist.
