This driver was 1 of 83 I reported last year for closing passing a cyclist, for the sake of trying to save a couple of seconds it cost him £100 for a SCD course and damage to his van.

It’s time to introduce this in England.
Scotland becomes the first UK nation to introduce a ban on pavement parking next week. From Monday (11 December 2023), drivers in Scotland can be fined £100 for parking on the footway.

| This is the horrifying moment a cyclist was sent spinning into the air when she was hit by a driver who pulled out in front of her.
The cyclist, 71, suffered a bleed on the brain and broken bones.
The driver's now been jailed.

An experiment, in a slow moving traffic queue during school run, out of approx 15 cars 5 drivers were using phones hand held, 2 managed to hide them as I approached.
1 just waved at me, 1 took my photo and another just asked “what’s up pal?”
Phone use while driving is endemic.

Non cyclists have been telling me for sometime how to be safer riding my bike most often I’m told I should wear a helmet.
Personally I think mandatory cameras on bicycles would have a greater impact on rider safety after all look how drivers behave around speed cameras.

A perfect example of waiting behind a group of cyclists until it’s safe to pass…or as in this case until you turn in the opposite direction.

If you’re a driver and going to close pass a cyclist you better make sure your car has a valid MOT.
Close passing a cyclist results in a £100 Educational Course or 3 points and a fine.
Driving without MOT you can be fined up to £1000.

Let’s be clear this cyclist has put themselves in a dangerous position filtering past the HGV and needs to take more care.
The difference between most cyclist errors and drivers errors is that the cyclist endangers themselves whereas drivers often endanger other road users.
Yes, this highlights the need for proper segregated lanes but gosh, had my heart in my mouth with this one. This is how cyclists get killed, it’s not worth your life going for that gap. 🫣
