How can this not have been dangerous driving? Suspended sentence and 12 month ban. Norfolk driver spared jail after cyclist killed on A11 | Thetford & Brandon Times share.google/91XJHUD7o4Pg...

Incompetent driver. Separated cycle lanes are going in and drivers are whining about them.

Didn't like this much at all...

"The vehicle, which officers believe to be a black Range Rover...."

Stay frosty! She'd overtaken me 20 seconds earlier...🤷🚴🤦

The motorist, who had nine previous road traffic convictions before fatally striking dad-of-two Euan Thomson as he cycled to work, was also banned from driving for 11 years

Pleased that Avon and Somerset Police took action against this red light jumper.

Shared Responsibility. @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

The motorist pleaded guilty and admitted he didn’t properly see the police officers after “glancing up” while exiting a junction, but the judge ruled that the near miss did not amount to careless driving road.cc/315763 #cycling

When I voted Labour, I didn’t really want them to follow Suella Braverman’s policies.

West Midlands Police #3rdPartyReporting data available here www.westmidlands.police.uk/police-force... First thing I see, there are 2024 reports 1311 of which were NFA due to "Outside of 14 days NIP" 64% NFA. @roadcc.bsky.social There appears to be a different category for late submissions

We redesign our roads to protect our children from the people driving these things, or we accept this statistic as the price kids should pay to enable car-owner liberty.

Sometimes feels like one in four drivers can't be bothered to turn the steering wheel a few more inches to avoid getting reported for a close pass, let alone passing another human being in a safe manner. Other times, everyone gets it right and all is right on the roads!

There’s finally light at the end of the tunnel for those affected by Wahoo’s time travel bug…

Something something cyclists red lights blah..

Well, I hope this gets fixed soon. First gen bolt users are having problems and a firmware update is needed

After some chasing and more chasing, the driver apparently got a warning. So, for TVP, driving while using your mobile phone then trying to run down the cyclist that saw you (while close passing another cyclist to get to them) is pretty much fine. I've submitted a complaint (first time ever).

This was short. Maybe a minute. But the entire time that driver was trying to intimidate me, letting me know I was in *their* space. They used the size of their vehicle, the noise of their engine, and the proximity to my body to say: You're in my way, move it.

I had an experience on my ride this morning that I think really shows how drivers try to bully bicyclists out of our space on the road. A short thread about what happened.

Had my weekly grocery shopping delivered, shouted to my 12yo son to answer the door as I was in the toilet. Son said very loudly to the guy 'My mom's having a poo". Absolutely mortified when I can out of the toilet to a laughing delivery man.

Three no left turn signs ignored, tenth driver reported doing this, £500 raised for the public purse. Truly an idiot tax.

London, Greater Manchester, Leeds and Edinburgh all have similar Vision Zero policies. How are they getting on? "If you reach for the stars, you're destined to fail"

Today's HGV close pass! Reported to Avon and Somerset Police for re-education.

Speeding around this bend is rife. Glad I wasn't in the way!

Driver stopped by police after colliding with a bollard could only see TWO METRES. But wear hiviz when cycling folks. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

South Wales Police Zero interest in prosecuting dangerous driving in proximity to pedestrians, horse riders or cyclists. Also SWP, mounting an operation to fine cyclists on Queen St in Cardiff. SWP: choosing laws to enforce and who’s worthy of their effort.

Things we're told Councils can't just close: Roads where are safety concerns Things we're told Councils can close: Public toilets Public libraries Day Centres Footpaths Cycle lanes It's all choice. We don't have to accept this

We've spoken with the National Police Chiefs' Council to get some top tips for capturing and submitting footage

Great illustration by @thewhiteline.bsky.social that the best way to prevent drivers from killing people is to force them to slow the hell down. This is intended as a PSA for drivers, but our policymakers need to pay attention to this too.

Somehow I'm not convinced that contacting the business will bear fruit here. Could be wrong. Sent to the police anyway. Touching distance!

Cyclists on the pavement again!

Hopefully the monsters responsible for this will be found and charged with attempted murder

This driver stopped after I squawked at the close pass. Apparently the central reservation meant he couldn't leave enough space. I said he should've waited for the road to open up again (Highway Code) but this wasn't something he could understand at all. 1/2

Great review of a fascinating book about "third party reporting". rdrf.org.uk/2024/08/26/r...

Just learned this was probably a friend of mine, this one was really not far from me at all in many senses. Interrupted and killed doing what he loved.

If I want to grab on for a tow I'll ask nicely, thanks for offering though.

Look at this from Operation Snap in Wales. The 4th paragraph here directly contradicts the 2nd. And is it true they can't tell us what the outcomes of submissions are? I'm sure other forces manage this, despite the supposed GDPR issue that is mentioned here

www.avonandsomerset.police.uk/news/2025/06... not far from me at all.

So do Greggs top up the meat for their sausage rolls by crushing cyclists!? Passed this closely by a moron driver - only for me to catch up with them 20 seconds later and pass them again! #ClosePass #PointlessPass #MustGetInFront #Newcastle

Have just seen this on FB, and made me love Tim Curry even more. From an interview he gave about an ill-fated on-set affair while filming Muppet Treasure Island.
