Incident type: Ute

White Mazda Ute needs to pass, way too close.

White Mazda Ute needs to pass, way too close.

1GPR772 rushes up behind me by illegally using the bus lane, honks his horn and does a dangerously close pass. He did exactly the same thing on Friday 4/8/23 and admits as much in this video.
I see him in the carpark of the local shopping plaza and tell him he is a crap driver. He exits the vehicle and tells me very explicitly that he will run me down next time.
That’s a death threat with a deadly weapon. Police have already been informed.

The Hampton Rd transit lane is for busses, bicycles and taxis – anyone else can cop a $100 fine and 3 demerits.
I look behind to see entitled que-jumper 1EZS325 angrily pointing me off the road. I kindly return the favor by pointing to the sign that explicitly says ‘Busses, bicycles and taxis only’, and don’t move over. He toots and blasts past on a dangerously close pass.
Obviously my safety is worth less than his time.

A truck passed illegally close, then the 4WD that was right behind them did the same thing and hard to cut in in order to avoid the traffic islands in the middle of the road.
Then turned right 50m later, so there was no point overtaking anyway.

Second time he did this – Successful prosecution fine and licence suspended 12 months

Closed in from 1.5 Mtres to under 1mtre than waved a bird!. Obviously not a lover of cyclists.
