[Closed] this nearly ended my life

Nice work getting the photo etc!

You can't stop there to take your pictures. That's a controlled zone for a crossing that is!

I can see this one getting taken down. Especially when some one on here posts up a name ans address.

Report him to the polis

So this guy pulled in front of you, there was a collision and then he drove away? Leaving the scene of an accident is a criminal offence. You should contact the police at once.

Glad there are no injuried though.

Best of luck,

ALex

whats your flickr site?

if you could get witnesses then sure contact the police if not, its just your word against his, unfortunately.

no real impact though, more a near miss, a few years riding have at least paid off in avoidance techniques and no witnesses so no point reporting it, just relieving my angst and warnign others really

You beat me to it alex - not sure how much the police will do without witnesses, but it's worth letting them know

I had a driver giving me some verbal the other day. Police were pretty good and had a "quiet chat" with him even though it was my word against his.

Yep, phoning it in to the police would be worthwhile. Perhaps he drives like a tool quite often, in which case someone else may already have reported him. If he drives poorly in the future your account may add weight to any action being taken. Do it!

Notify his employer. After calling the police. It's not hard to get a vehicle owners details when you've got the registration.

After the Police contact the local press with an emailed photo of his car.

Don't complain about it if you won't report it.

I sympathise with you, and maybe it made the driver think-I'll be a good boy now-but it could've been a tragedy for a less experienced rider.These idiots need to be shown that they're in the wrong.

I got pushed into the curb by a bus driver last week in cambridge.seemed deliberate too.
So I scratched the bus up a bit with my bars and rode off.
I waited a bit to see if he was going to get out and do me, but he drove on, pointing at me
So I should report it really
Station rd and the driver wasn't very white, at all

drama queen

Nothing is more annoying than some complete idiot who has the cheek to shout abuse after they nearly killed you.

My favourite word to shout begins with a C.

Nice one on the pic btw.

Carrot?

Driver "I've never been in an accident, but I've seen a many in my rear view mirror"

What a tool (the driver)

Nah, Cheese.

Driver made a mistake but should have stopped if he hit you.

Report it -if you want. (I would just to let him know to treat cyclists fairly).

101 him - police will either write a nice letter or have a polite chat. Our local police and PCO's are very keen on this round here to control some poor driving / speeding / etc. Spoke to one last night and its had quite an effect - they have one guy who has been reported on 5 occasions by public and once by a PCO for excessive speed, and has now been threatened with one more complaint = impound the car.

M95 seizure notice. Google it, it may help.

I wish I'd at least had a camera the number of near misses I have on the way to work...

It's all about how much worse it could have been if evasive action hadn't been taken which is the concern don't you think?

Using a camera while riding?

Riding without due care and attention, surely....

😉

Report him and follow it up. Put it this way, he clearly saw you as a joke. I wouldnt have that.

wow - sunshine in Warwick!

Is that riding up the hill from the entrance to the racecourse?
Where did the tool pull out from?

My physiotherapist records every commute to work with a helmet cam, he got hit really badly by a taxi in Glasgow a few years back, ever since he records every ride in town just incase he gets hit again.

as others say report him. If the **** thinks its funny he also knocked someone off he's asking for it.
