MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA
In Victoria, Australia you have to register the incident at the applicable local Police Station, which I did by phone on the evening of the accident. In the Police phone interview I advised all the details and that I had photos and video footage of the incident. I shared those with the Police via email. The Police created an incident report and provided me with an Incident number. I was advised the following day that the driver had been charged.

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA
I spoke to the driver and asked him to pull over to exchange details, to which he replied “Why?! You hit me!” and then drove off, ‘prompted’ by the car behind. Potential $1250 fine and 3 months imprisonment for driving off (let alone the incident) says his action wasn’t the right call.

MAGNOLIA, UNITED STATES
The driver was taken to court, he was unlicensed and legally blind.
Why record your ride?
If you ride on the road, it’s getting harder to get home safely. More distracted, dangerous drivers and infrastructure that hasn’t kept up with demand. It’s tough out there, and it’s time to do something about it.
We believe there are three things that can change the safety equation for bike riders. Raising AWARENESS of how big the problem is and the changes that can be made to make sure every road user gets home safely. Influencing planning priorities with the only real-world INFORMATION on cycling black spots. Getting the evidence needed to PROSECUTE drivers who continue to put lives at risk.
Make your mark on improving cycling safety by posting your footage of any incidents you’ve encountered. When you add to UpRide, everyone benefits.
