I love the country, just not the people. And I live here because this is where I work.pblakeney said:

Not true, though I sense you are not being serious...First.Aspect said:In Scotland these still have to be submitted on a CD in a suitable format.
In other news we do now have electricity in many homes.
That is the impression his posts leave anyway.
Probably I wouldn't like Endlish people either, and there are a lot more of them.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.dannbodge said:SO finally had an update, after having to send an email chasing the three reported close pass incidents.
Close pass 1 - No action as i didn't include the video, didn't realise you had to provide a link to an external hosting site
Close pass 2 - Car went past whilst another was coming the opposite way - They've been sent a letter
Close pass 3 (the one with contact) - The owner/driver has been sent a letter. See below:
"Thank you for your submission. The driving behaviour demonstrated has been reviewed and is of a poor standard but will not meet the burden of proof to provide a realistic prospect of conviction at court.
The owner/driver has been issued a warning in writing informing them of their actions and risk of prosecution in the future"
Basically. We can't be arsed to look into this anymore. Seeing as the news has published drivers being punished for less with less, I'm disappointed with this result.
It's better than nothing.
1). The form says "don't worry, we'll ask you for the video later", implying that they will ask you... and don't provide a way (i.e. email address) to pass the link to them later.
2) Hmm
3) Goddamn it. , hitting another road user and it not being clear enough that " that's not driving with due care and attention" is a really broken state of affairs.

Indeed.katani said:
But they absolutely are aware or what they are doing and why. 100% of those very close passes are intentional. What they need to be made aware is that there will be consequences, and painful ones. A hefty fine, points on the licence and a letter to the insurer.wolfsbane2k said:
If you or your bike actually got touched by the driver, and it's on camera, then it should be an absolute shoe-in for at least a driving awareness course.dannbodge said:Thanks for the post.
If I receive anything back I will update the thread.
I'm not holding my breath but seeing as Northampton police recently fined a driver for a close pass (it's in the papers) and no contact was made, I'd hope that mine (where I was actually nudged by the car) would get pursued.Intent on Cycling Commuting on a budget, but keep on breaking/crashing/finding nice stuff to buy.

Probably quite good given the abundance of research stations.First.Aspect said:
