It's all good, man
It's a cyclist thing. They don't like stopping for anything, so they just keep pushing until their only option is back-pedaling.

Having disappeared down some YouTube rabbit hole, I found myself watching a video of dashcam snippets, where they'd been involved in RTCs.
I was quite shocked at how many of the clips showed situations which could easily have been anticipated, and also how readily people took to the horn WHILE TAKING NO EVASIVE ACTION whatsoever. Fuck me, if someone pulls out in front of me, I'm going to be braking, steering, and doing everything to avoid a collision, not taking my hand off the wheel to pound the horn.
Mind you, there were quite a few very hard-to-anticipate (or at least do anything about it) collisions, particularly people just zooming out onto roundabouts at speed.
We need better driving tests.

Yeah, but if you’ve hoovered a few lines of gak surely in your mind it is the other cunt’s duty to get out of the way?

The bastard would probably have driven off even if you'd made contact. That seems to happen a fair bit, too.
The way I see it, people who drive like that are likely to be doing it often enough that there's a pretty good chance they'll get caught eventually. Especially as more and more people get dashcams. And when the rest of them learn to drive the way you're driving, maybe there'll even be fewer prangs overall.

Yeah, I never beep the horn. It always just sounds like a mouse squeaking anyway.

The World Turned Upside Down
Had a white van pull out in front of me today on the M5. I was doing about 70, they clearly hadn’t looked in their mirror, fortunately I just had enough time to swerve into the fast lane to stop myself hitting them, thankfully arrested the swerve on what was a greasy surface. Hopefully tomorrow’s drive is incident free.

It's not inappropriate. Presumably this is a longer disqualification than the previous one and there's the additional tagging. If he does it again he'll go to prison. The main offence here should be driving without insurance and that should result in a custodial sentence.

Driver who killed Somerset cyclist given suspended sentence
Lorraine Barrow's widower says a suspended sentence does not feel like justice for his wife's death.

50% over the speed limit in conditions where visibility is apparently zero, kill someone, convicted of dangerous driving. Bowls of porridge to be eaten, none.

Woeful.

Unless I’ve just been sent a well executed spoof story, this is weird as fuck.What the fuck is going on here?
www.theguardian.com
I can think of several highly improbable/ unexplained things with that story. Was the man driving or being driven? Because sure as fuck wasn’t running. Was he in a convertible, or did he stick his arse out of the window?
Also, twats as the rozzers can be, is there a chance in hell they would bother to send a patrol car for such a misdemeanour even a month after the incident, let alone six within 20 minutes? Fucking bullshit.

55 years old, claims "It is something I had always wanted to do because I'd been caught by them a couple of times for silly speeds like 35mph in a 30 zone" - (would be at least 36 before you get a NIP)
ffs, it claims he's a retired university lecturer. Were kids really paying nine grand a year to listen to anything that dicksplash has to say?

How did he trigger the speed camera and how did they know who he was?
Does he have a number plate on his arse?

It was a van with people inside.

It was a manned van, he dropped his pants and waved his arse at the people inside, fucking state of him would not be surprised if he flashed his knackers too and you can bet there were winnits clagged on the ring piece.

Even if the mystery of how the mooning took place and the camera triggered, there is just no way the police would be involved so quickly, much less so managing to arrive at his house twenty minutes after the deed, and heavy mobbed to the tune of six officers. Just no fucking way.
I’m no expert but I would wager speed camera activations are sent to whichever authority is responsible, checked by a human in the following 1-2 days, and a NIP letter automatically & generated put in the post eventually. There are no fucking council/ DVLA employees glued to their monitors eagerly waiting for the latest images captured by a GATSO camera by the roadside.
I guess it would be plausible that a police officer monitoring live street CCTV saw a bloke mooning a speed camera, checked the registered address of the vehicle involved, and reported the infraction. But that’s still far fetched and the timeline highly unlikely. There are people reporting gunshots fired who have to wait longer than that for the rozzers to arrive ffs

So he’s talking bullshit about the cops managing to identify his place of residence and turning up within 20 minutes, unless Mystic Meg was consulted.He was NOT in his car...
