no punishment the court could
no punishment the court could impose would come close to what the driver has been putting himself through…
Another example of the fashionable shyster lawyer tactic of converting the extremely guilty offender into a victim. It would have been pretty much the same outcome if he’d killed a cyclist, as we have seen so often on here
Aye! It’s tough for drivers
Aye! It’s tough for drivers oop in t’North. In Lancashire, even the MOT testing garages can’t afford MOTs!
“We are sick with worry.”
“We are sick with worry.”
It’s tough facing a national disaster such as this, striking fear into hearts. Looks like the use of legs might be required in this clearly deprived area
It’s not necessary to comment
It’s not necessary to comment on a stupid letter displayed on a stupid website designed for stupid people (I can think of a better word for A in IAM), but I’ll give it a go.

The Highway Code is pretty definite about stopping for amber and red lights, but there are still loads of drivers who don’t do it- that’s a ‘must’, if there are any IAM ****holes reading this.
My MTB of the same vintage
My MTB of the same vintage ate its rim going down a wet and gritty descent of Doctorsgate
My last exploding wheel fortunately occurred after I’d safely descended a dry Wrynose Pass eastbound in the Lakes, so all that happened was the very loud bang from the front inner and the thin sliver of rim jamming in the brake. The other bit of luck was that someone at the club hut above Coniston had room in her Berlingo to carry me and the bike back to the hut and later down the M6 to Garstang. Disc brakes are fab!
when you’re trying to rid
when you’re trying to rid yourself of Hugh Jarce
When you’re waiting for a procedure in an x-ray department, when it’s your turn somebody comes to announce your name in the waiting room. The radiographers might play a trick on a colleague by leaving a spoof request to be picked up by the unsuspecting victim and taken to the waiting room to call out- the one I heard about was indeed a form bearing the printed name : Hugh Jarse
Great stuff! May be useful…
Great stuff! May be useful…Gloucestershire have recently
Gloucestershire have recently changed to OPsnap from their old system
This is more important than it seems! We now know that Sussex copied Lancashire with the GDPR dodge that you have to accept, or your submission will be rejected:
I confirm that I understand that dashcam footage falls under the Category of CCTV and as the footage is taken in the public domain, the Domestic Purposes Exemption under the Data Protection Act/UKGDPR does not apply and therefore all users are Data Controllers in their own right. As such you should be informing the public that they are being filmed and should have some form of notification on your mode of transport as you have responsibilities under the Data Protection Act /UKGDPR
I have just looked at OpSnap Gloucs and they don’t seem to have adopted that dodge, but have the 2 minutes before and after dodge. Have you come across the GDPR dodge with Gloucestershire?
So many drivers assume that
So many drivers assume that because a road isn’t busy then nobody is likely to be coming the other way
Or, if they’re drivers of massive tractors, they just don’t care- these things would crush a big Transit, so they don’t even think about cyclists. They can always use the apparently impregnable defence: I didn’t know I had hit him because I didn’t see him
All this has already been
All this has already been done, to no avail so far! This latest FoI will end up with ICO, but the police know that it all takes months and years!Since I was hit by someone
Since I was hit by someone driving down the wrong side of the road when waiting to leave the Sainsbury’s access road in December 2018, I have accumulated a collection of LC dodges, downright lies and extreme stupidities. They have little or no insight or conscience. I even have, from a couple of years ago, a letter from LC suggesting that I make a FoI request if I wanted to know about what happened in a case. This latest reply even contradicts what they say in Opsnap Lancs documentation and FAQs.So I’m still working on this.
So I’m still working on this. Simultaneously I sent in a FoI request about the actual outcome of this offence of 21.2.22
https://upride.cc/incident/4148vz_travellerschoicecoach_closepass/
This was before Lancashire Constabulary ceased responding to any submissions to OpSnap Lancs- they sent the standard ‘we’re going to do something but we won’t tell you what it is’ reply. LC failed to comply with the FOIA in the specified time, but today I received the reply from LC’s Data Protection Office:
Lancashire Constabulary can neither confirm nor deny that it holds any information relevant to this request as the duty in Section1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not apply, by virtue of the following exemption:
Section 40(5) Personal Information
To confirm or deny whether we hold any information would in itself reveal the personal data of the subject(s). It is important to note that disclosures under the FOIA are considered as disclosures “to the world” and as such, to confirm or deny whether or not any information is held would be unfair on the data subject(s).This is nonsense, of course. I have the advantage that I already know how inept and idle LC is, so I am not impressed by this pseudo-legalistic twaddle. I have embarked on the long ‘internal review’ followed by a complaint to the Information Commissioner procedure which LC is relying upon to deter people who want to know what happened to drivers who offended against them. I already know what happened: nothing.
This should serve as an example to those of you have received ‘action letters’- they are often not what they seem.
My Merlin Ti is virtually
My 23-year old Merlin Ti is virtually road only, so it still looks immaculate- only thing wrong with it is the rim brakes.
Chuck might not be so
Chuck might not be so confident pulling in front of them now
Hardly relevant, as virtually nothing he writes is either true or intended to be true.

I’ve never run an expensive armoured tyre like a Marathon Plus
Except they’re not very expensive at £30 for 700c x 25, and almost abolish punctures- although they are heavy
