Tight, windy country road with little, if any shoulder. With no on-coming traffic, an aggressive SUV driver takes illegal pass (state minimum is 3 feet). For some reason he felt it necessary to stop in the middle of the road, get out of his vehicle, and confront me for yelling and flipping him off. He was operating a lethal weapon and I’m just glad I did not also have a lethal weapon…
Incident type: SUV
Light traffic, two lanes, all other drivers giving plenty of space as they pass, but of course, there comes along that individual who can’t resist putting cyclists in their place. Nowhere near hitting me but definitely well inside the 1.5 metre requirement.
This video was shared and reported to the local police department in Rye, NH, who advised that video evidence was insufficient and it was unclear if the car was within the required distance. The local police department stated that the only way they could take action was (1) if I had video of being hit by a vehicle, or (2) They witnessed the pass themselves.
Kid blew through stop sign, not even looking left. Caught up with him a couple minutes later, was set on full blast, but then saw it was a kid in training, perhaps on the spectrum, maybe. Talked to him, probably pointless.
The driver was oblivious to the fact that he was going wrong way on a one way access road, and I’m not completely sure he saw me.
Vehicle stops at Give Way, must have seen me approaching on the left, but makes the turn into my path, deliberately (? maybe not, who knows) comes close. There is no need to be so close, there is ample space on the road to give me the 1.5 metres as required by the road rules. Perhaps the driver was “educating” me to ride my bike on the bike path but I chose not to take that option because at my usual speed of around 30 – 35 kph, it would be very dangerous for the bike path users, often trundling along at 10 – 15 kph, often in small groups from the nearby retirement village
There are a lot of these RLJs by drivers on the A6- you have to watch out for offenders if you’re crossing the A6 on the other roads at this complicated junction. Lancashire Constabulary refuses to take action against the offenders, and there will be no response to my report
There aren’t many traffic lights around here, but passing them at red is common because Lancashire Constabulary refuses to take action against offenders. There will be no response and no action on my report. Time on the video is GMT
Passing a traffic light at red, which had turned red long before the offence was committed, by the driver of Range Rover FH16 VFA who accelerated so hard that he had to apply the brakes before reaching the crest of the blind humpbacked canal bridge. The lights were there because of roadworks on the right lane at the crest of the bridge, which meant that any oncoming traffic coming on green would by on [my] the left side of the road. Time on the video is GMT. I know from long experience that Lancashire Constabulary will ignore this offence, in this paradise for offending drivers.
