That was not a nice one.
A number of Twitter posts were depressing.
You should cycle near the kerb.
I'm a lorry driver and this happens to me a lot - yeah, I bet you werecquaking in your cab as a transit undertook.
You should cycle in national parks not London.
I hope JV has reported this, yet again, just a few mm difference could have been a death sentence, and drivers like this do need to be removed from the roads. This is, to any rational person, dangerous driving, but not according to the law, and even if JV was killed, it is unlikely that a prosecution for dangerous driving would succeed.
The minister for twattery and avoidance of responsibility anounced yesterday that they plan to increase the penalties for dangerous driving, a completely pointless, useless waste of time, as the charging and conviction rate for that offence is almost zero compared to the vast amount of dangerous driving we see every day. In a court of law, that video should be clear irrefutable evidence of dangerous driving, and a conviction should result; the sentence could be decided later, but should be at least a £1k fine and two year ban, with the fine being £5k and prison for driving whilst banned.
Have I mentioned the 2014 review that was going to sort all this out?
Doesn’t dangerous driving say something like, driving which falls way below that of a careful and competent driver and there in lies the problem the majority of drivers sitting in jury are also dangerous drivers but believe there better than average. So there judging people by there own low standards. Not guilty etc
