Stats update - My wife & I have now reported 484 drivers to

"As a result of this report I can confirm a positive outcome in that the driver identified in the submission will receive either a warning letter, a fixed penalty or a prosecution." Bad language from this rude driver.

I wondered, would she put the phone down before driving off, no hands on the wheel & no eyes on the road?

2,100kg of Range Rover, no hands on the wheel as she's rolling along using the phone. Insurance about to get even more expensive?

Lucy World was handed five points on her driving licence, fined £440 and order to pay £625 costs and a £44 victim surcharge, after refusing a FPN and pleading NG in court.

This driver was laughing as she pulled out on the 3 cyclists causing them to brake. She wasn't counting on a driver with dashcam. Hope she isn't laughing when the police contact her about her driving.

In court tomorrow for a driver who threatened to punch me after I had to tap his car to plead for space on the road. Going through the footage over & over again - I hope it shows the proximity of the car and the threatening & aggressive behaviour very clearly.

If you're the sort of young chump who enjoys straying over the road to pass an oncoming cyclist too close, better make sure he's not running a camera. Especially if your VED is two months out of date.

Scaffolding truck driver, patiently waited behind me at a junction, follows me up a blind hill, no pressure, then overtaking when it's safe leaving plenty of room. 🚴👍

I'm sure the roadworkers were relieved that it was only the 1,850kg Audi which steamed past the red light towards them, and not a lawless destructive 85kg cyclist. Think of the carnage!

Why do some people object to drivers like this facing consequences? They could maim anyone with their ineptitude, not just cyclists!

When the local Facebook page cyclist-hater-in-chief metes out a nasty close pass to a camera cyclist, you can be sure it'll get reported! 😂 I noted what car she drove some time ago and was expecting this day would come. Maybe some remedial training will help her leave more room!

Appeal and complain. Threatening behaviour and not in proper control should be prosecuted.

This tailgating driver from July pleaded not guilty, claiming that I was drunk and cycling erratically. Six points plus £800 financial penalties including a £150 compensation order to me. Book thrown. Bad language!🤷🤦☹️🚴

When you have to brake so hard to abruptly abort your ill-judged "me-too" overtake, the hazard lights come on?!

Well it's all kicking off on the Bristol Post Facebook page, I spoke a few words to a Daily Star reporter and the message that bad drivers are being held accountable by our cameras is on national and local media. Much gnashing of teeth.

Another reason to film your rides. Some drivers have explosive tempers. Shame no reported effect on his driving licence.
Jack Rawlins was given a suspended jail sentence for this assault on a cyclist in Bristol.

Rule 166 DO NOT overtake ... where you cannot see far enough ahead to be sure it is safe. For example, when you are approaching a corner or bend.

Van driver pulled out on me this morning. Emerging from a side road on my left & saw me but went anyway, counting on me to brake. I wouldn't have bothered reporting this but for the mobile phone he was also staring at in his right hand as he emerged across my path.

I'm all for respecting other road users but there was no need for these drivers to salute me today. I was so shocked I forgot to return it! 🤣😉🚴🌞

Fortnightly breakfast meeting for 6. I'm the only cyclist. Had permission to take my bike inside for >6 years, so carry no lock with me. Abruptly/rudely refused permission to bring bike in this morning. All 6 of us went elsewhere & will not return.

My wife overheard a local driver whining about getting filmed overtaking a cyclist too close and having to pay 4 a course. Not her fault there was an oncoming car, apparently. Hope she learns something on the course! (Probably my report 😁🚴👍)

"Cars are for f***ING roads!" says this young oaf as he forces me to a halt, despite the highway code's rules about negotiating obstructions on his side of the road. In need of re-education.

Court outcome - fined £220, costs £620, victim services £34, and 3 penalty points on conviction of driving w/o due care and attention. My evidence was agreed & did not need to attend. Hope his driving has improved.

I'll never understand people who'd sooner risk colliding with an oncoming driver than wait five seconds for a safe overtake.

DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users, for example... when you would force another road user to swerve or slow down.

Drivers like this go to court, and plead the predictable and ordinary consequences of losing a licence, which are accepted as "exceptional hardship" and then make no effort at all to change their dangerous habits.
Epsom High Street, driver stopped by

and found to be on 14 points! She initially claimed just to be looking at her sat nav until shown the very clear video. Then she admitted to sending a voice note. Reported to court.

@DylanBantoft
It's textbook driving without consideration for other road users. Ignoring the passing place on his side of the road and expecting us to get into the hedge. We both would've stopped in that space and fully expected him to do so.

All 3 drivers looked in their nearside wing mirrors here. The Honda & Audi drivers stayed clear to allow me to filter. The van driver however tried to block the cycle paint. Everyday bullying by a resentful driver.

If you haven't bothered getting an MOT due last October, wouldn't it be sensible not to draw attention to your car by driving too fast and too close to a cyclist with a camera and a

Good job this lady looked up from her phone as the truck driver ignored the red light. I hope these lights have cameras, because my dashcam did not pick up the registration.

Well that took off a bit, I've had to disable notifications and even do a bit of blocking. Just trying to enjoy a ride with my girls, which we did, regardless of the one bad driver. Bon courage ❤️🚴👍. We will overcome.

How thick an Audi driver do you have to be to sit directly behind a cyclist displaying a Passpixi at the lights, then mete out a very close pass a few moments later?

Decided to be loud & proud on my local FB groups about the rise in dashcam/bike cam reporting. I'm old enough to laugh at any flak from the speedophile "snitch" cycle haters. Important that these people especially know their driving can be filmed/reported anywhere, anytime.

Pinch point close pass. I was already alert to the risk by the silver car joining from the right, but most HGV drivers hold back at this point until the road widens a few metres ahead.

Makes me angry when a driver does this to my wife. At least we know that A&S will take action. Keeping my eyes out for this one nevertheless. Reported.
