[Closed] BTP car cuts up cyclist

Most police are not advanced trained drivers .

[So it only counts if you get hurt or killed?]
Or slightly put out, as stated in the post.

There's a junction a bit like that on the A1000 not far from me, I imagine others on here will know it. Left lane is turn left, right lane is straight on.

If you stay in the correct lane and avoid the situation where you get stranded on the left and effectively have to cut across a lane of traffic to go straight on, you are riding for a while in the middle of the road. I don't think I have ever managed to stick to the correct lane on that stretch without getting abuse for doing so from drivers. Being a cyclist can be trying at times. 🙁

Undertakes and then nips in front again on chevrons, the guy is an idiot.

that's a plus 1 from me

Undertaking isn't illegal, it's in the highway code not to do it unless you meet certain criteria.
As the lines to the chevrons are broken and not solid they can be crossed if necessary

"certain criteria" and "necessary" in this incidence being driver CBA waiting behind cyclist for a handful of seconds (something the camera owner seems to manage ok). The sort of behaviour I'd expect from the more impatient end of the general public, no it wasn't that close but from someone who in a position of authority and should be setting a good example it's pretty poor.

Undertaking isn't illegal, it's in the highway code not to do it unless you meet certain criteria. A policeman cannot charge you with undertaking, it would normally be driving without due care.

It is when it's not safe to do so, he undertook and had to nip back in on chevrons. All he had to do was wait and he could of overtook him when the road went to 2 lanes.

I did thanks.

Huh? As opposed to the BTP letting the cyclist negotiate the junction and then moving around them?

...opposed to designing road junctions better to avoid this kind of thing.

plenty of crap junctions around and I fully agree that they should be redesigned, however the BTP driver fell a long way short of "handling a badly designed junction the best they can". lemonysam has already suggested a much better option.
