  • A van driver doesn't complete an overtake and just changes lane without checking mirrors or just not caring. Have reported this drvier and got standard reply, which means driver will probably get a warning letter.

    100% the cyclists fault. How dare he ride a cycle within 50mtrs of a Transit driver. 😂😂😂

      it was until, silvio tail gates the van, tried to undertake the van but is blocked by the parked vehicles.
      then he uses the parking spaces to undertake the van, pulling in front of it to block it again.
      so no police action to be taken, as silvio would also have action to be taken against himself.

    And this is why I gave up commuting by bicycle and got a motorcycle. Pushbikes are Too dangerous. Motorists seem to think that if they can “accidentally “ run you over and remove you from the world they be doing a public service.

      Statistics say otherwise... I think you'll find there are motorcycle accidents than the ones involving cyclists.

      so you're guys are saying that a motorized bike which can achieve speeds of 100 miles per hour is less likely to have a serious accident than a push bike? .... neat thinking!

    I've driven a panel van. The one I drove hid a Ford Focus in the "blind spot" for a couple of miles (driver was camping in the shade produced by the van). Still would've been my fault if I had hit the guy. This guy must have thought you disappeared in a puff of smoke when he couldn't see you anymore.
