There really are no depths to which some drivers won't stoop

It's particularly delightful to see them zooming past gridlocked traffic, blue lights blazing, only for for them to turn off the blue lights a quarter of a mile ahead once they've cleared the local traffic jam.

Yeah but if Greggs is about to close what other choice do they have?

Not banned for the texting, six points for that, he already had 9 points for other shitty driving behaviour. Arsehole.

From the unpaid wannabe cop...

London is probably the camera cyclist capital of the world. Last year I think I caught 358 drivers and two cyclists, it only takes a few minutes to submit a video. You just fill out a form online and send it in. You do occasionally have to go to court, I have had to do it maybe five to 10 times.

I have no sympathy for the driver but this GoPro wanker needs to get laid.

I think he's a legend in his own y-fronts, sometimes have to go to court, I have perhaps five to ten times, fucking legend

Him and his ilk are one of the reasons cyclists are despised so much.

I don't want to destroy yet another thread over the cyclists debate only to say there are dozens of other reasons they are not liked.
In my occasional state sanctioned exercise I shout at a cyclist at least once per outing.

I did say one of the reasons. Obviously there are lots more.

Far from the main reason. If I were still biking, would I have a camera, possibly, in order to sue the Bastards that hit me. Maybe to shame Somone on line but not to take them to court.

I’m actually surprised that that two cyclists were fined/ prosecuted as a result of that bloke submitting video evidence of their wrongdoing.

It must have been something particularly fucked up because the real trick (in London at least) is to go on a journey and film a cyclist who doesn’t violate the Highway Code, certainly when red lights are concerned- or to see a copper take action over it.

How would you sue them without taking them to court?

 

[hash tag]

I would only use evidence in the event of an accident, not to call out a law breaker.

If you submitted that video evidence in the same way as people do for drivers, you should get FPNs/prosecutions. Certainly remember someone who submitted some video of some dangerous driving which also showed themselves (the video submitter) going through a red light getting done for jumping a red (no point in trying to find the article about it as the articles were about the driver and just mentioned the cyclist being fined irrc). Why wouldn't the police prosecute? it's easy money / stats for them when it's just video evidence. More effort for a copper to do something in the moment even if they happen to be around when it happens but when they just need to watch some video and send off an FPN, it must be well worth their time.

What if someone was driving really badly and it was a near miss only because you were able to take evasive action? Do you not think that stopping dangerous drivers before they cause a collision is a good thing?

 

[Badgers]

Yeah, seems fair

If (well known cunt) Guy Ritchie had been on his phone and hit/killed one of your family members would you want that camera footage or is the cyclist still a scab?

Strange you didn't quote this bit:

Mr Erp told MailOnline: ''I am empathetic to him and other disqualified drivers. I have to look at myself to judge if I am doing the right thing. My dad was killed by a drink-driver when I was 19, I still remember him, so I feel very strongly about road safety.

Both.

How is it not relevant that his dad got killed by a shitty driver and yet his supposed lack of a sex life is the reason why he does it?.

He isn't sat outside pubs. He does it because he's a wanker.

Indeed.

Nope. There was/is not enough time in my world to do that. In my time I had many near misses and on the whole, shrugged my shoulders and got on with things. Sad, but true.
