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

Water thrown from the cab at 1:19,
trucker is persistent as well, all along the vid.

Careless driving, 2 counts of assault, cops will say rider provoked it by using bad words.

Careless/ dangerous driving provoked the naughty words.

The police probably wouldn't do anything about it though since nobody 'got hurt'. Not saying I'd agree with it, but this is sadly the reality, no?

In which case no one got hurt by the bad words...

Police should at the very least have a word with the driver which should shit him up a little.

I know the rider IRL as cammers tend to talk if at the lights or whatever and we ended up sharing a ride somewhere, also a cammer community has formed. In recent months he has exhausted himself attempting to get the police to take any action ever with a number of drivers just driving right at him, he is quick to temper but no more than many. Well and truly let down by the police who I suspect yet again will take no action.

Yeah doubt the police will do much. If anything they may pursue him. Can understand taking law into your own hands when it does so little to protect cyclists.

I had a run in with a driver on Coldhabour Lane last year I think. Traffic was pretty stationary as we were approaching red light, a driver gave me a fairly forceful bump from behind, I got off my bike, asked her why did she do that for, as politely as I could at the time. To cut a long story short, she refused to give me her details but I took pics of her and her car etc. 2 things happened as a result of that:

1. All other drivers on the road ganged up on me because I was holding up traffic, there was a lot of bad words towards me and not the driver, so the driver and I 'agreed' to go off to the side. Obviously she just drove off.

2. I reported her to the police, weeks later, got sent a letter informing me that they will not be taking any action against the driver as I was not injured and also it's not in the public interest to take this further.

How is it not in the public interest to follow a case of esentially hit and run, in stationary traffic, still amazes to date.

To put this in an extreme manner, I am sure most of you will have heard by now, Keith Bontrager's partnet - Julie Dansdale got run over by a Tesco van and lost a leg. The driver was only given a few hundreds pounds of fine and 6 points for driving without due care or whatever. That's someone's leg, someone's livelihood ruined.

If someone had gone and chop someone else's leg off, the punishment would be a lot of serious.

Most cyclists with cameras will have reported an incident or number of them and had no action taken. Often the police will wank you about asking for you to make up 2x dvds with the footage then fill in a number of forms before they just respond with taking no action or that they "lost" it or that it's past 5/7/14/28 days so no action can be taken(it's easy to tell it's bullshit as the number of days keeps changing).

I'll be honest if it wasn't for work and knowing that kicking off would just be bad life choices I'd be smashing windows/mirrors with a D lock and riding all sorts of illegal, can't see myself hitting a person but devaluing a car meh.

On a more positive note: The Belfast police force really did chase when a van nearly reversed into me, only had a company and partial reg.

They spoke to ups and all that, instead of just going "nah mate, we don't bother". I did have to come into the station but perhaps it just varies per force.

Per force and even then per officer. For a majority it would seem that they are rarely involved in an active part of road policing as that's what the traffic units do. They can identify the out and out wrong but anywhere they need specific detailed knowledge of which law is being broken and how it's all a bit sketchy, with cycling some additional knowledge of cycling and a touch of distrust in the cyclist as "an unlicensed random" and you have a mix for routinely doing nothing at all. On the other hand you get an officer who had that question on an exam in police training and it's stuck with them or they had been involved in another case or whatever and it's the other way.

If I remember right this guy I'm subscribed too is in belfast, very active with the police I think so they might be understanding the value of the cycling community more and generally aren't seeing anything to support the "they are all red light jumping..."

The next run in I have with a white van driver is going to be reported via 999, Like a full on Nice style terrorist attack is unfolding, driver "looked" like he had a gun in his hand. You can't be too careful.

I'm not but I'd like to.

Tx, subscribed. He's in Republic of Ireland by the looks of it, all ROI regs.
We have yellow/white like the rest of the UK...usually [letter][letter]Z then 4 digit regs.

We've little road policing here, I just phoned the non-emergency number and they asked me to come in. But the PSNI is quite friendly perhaps.

When it comes to policing parking assholes however (double yellows) well...forgetaboutit.

Every fucker on every roundabout < / exaggeration>

Two near misses in two days, on top of the regular poor signalling and so on, these are failures to stop, and also accelerating into the roundabout just as I come around.

Learner driver, please learn to stop before driving in a non-L-plate.

Shuttlecunt on the accelerator, I'll call you a wanker, you stop dead in front to try have me t-bone, I'll just shout it again in your wound-down window and I will certainly ride in primary at low speed.

I feel better now.

hopefully plod will do something about this because c-list celebrity.

Apparently they are "investigating" already. Funny that.

The Standard are pleading to use the footage. Poor lady, this is her cat/bin moment.

Poor lady

yeah no.

Poor lady, this is her cat/bin moment.

Having been on the end of this kind of shit a couple of times: zero fucks given.

She does seem rather angry; I would be with that hairstyle

If this can happen on the back streets of Kensington then we are all doomed, doomed I say!

There are reports the car doesn't have a valid tax disc..

Mail have it now.
