Tootling in Tyneside @goprobro.bsky.social

.@sainsburys Your Whitley Bay delivery drivers are in need of retraining. Illegally parked on zigzags, blocking the view of the crossing for oncoming traffic & loads of school kids around. Luckily the blurry reg saved them from a police report and 3 points this time. (Earsdon Rd)

Skilled motorists in #NorthShields these days... #MobilePhone in one hand, vape in the other. A finger is enough for the steering wheel!? Remind me again why cyclists need protected cycle lanes? #CuntOfTheDay

@mark395625 @crepycidon @gonortheast that might have been why the cyclist opted for the road rather than the congested path

@crepycidon @2_Over_4 @gonortheast Going faster than the camera cyclist?

.@gonortheast do you consider this acceptable driving standards from one of your bus drivers?! Driver stayed completely in the lane when he passed this cyclist at speed. Footage sent to cyclist to see if they want to submit to the police. NK69FBC @ 12:02pm today #closepass

@crepycidon @mark395625 @gonortheast thats just called cycling in the road. the highway code is there to protect you. double yellows are only for parking and the cyclist joined the road at a junction

@mark395625 @2_Over_4 @gonortheast Crossing double yellow lines and going into a lane of flowing traffic ? Hmmmm. Not sure I’d be running that line. (FWIW as a biker and cyclist I think the bus IS too close at almost any speed - the comedic aggression back is where the value is)

@andyfearon1980 @gonortheast Cyclist ~15-20mph & bus 30+mph. Can’t share video until cyclist decides what they’re doing with police submission

@2_Over_4 @gonortheast Is there a video, both bus and bike wheels are clearly not moving at any real speed.

@Scotthowaythel1 @gonortheast If there’s not enough space, you don’t pass. This post was triggered by feedback from them. They were shaken after being passed so closely at speed.

@2_Over_4 @gonortheast Where's the bus supposed to go? Was there oncoming traffic? The cyclist looks ok, most cyclists in mainland Europe wouldn't be bothered by this

@chloroquinecake @gingersquirrel8 @crepycidon @gonortheast If the cyclist chooses to report to the police, Northumbria Police advise not to post on line. I’ll send it to Go North East too.

@gingersquirrel8 @2_Over_4 @crepycidon @gonortheast I’d like to see the full footage. Unless you have something to hide, of course.

@crepycidon @gonortheast There were other cyclists coming in the opposite direction so he used the road. Remind me why the close pass wasn’t the bus drivers fault?

@2_Over_4 @gonortheast Which begs an obvious question as to why this road cyclist wasn’t on it as well. dont tell me . Doesn’t Have to and can do what he likes.

@crepycidon @gonortheast On a shared path

@2_Over_4 @gonortheast So where so the filming cyclist ? on a carriageway, or off it. you can see the double yellows clearly so just happens to be filming a random from a layby? so many of you road cyclists seem so polite, I am amazed there aren’t more mentally ill furry troons amongst your number

@DizzyGillespie1 @al_eye_am @funny_timz @gonortheast You’re never allowed to

@al_eye_am @funny_timz @2_Over_4 @gonortheast Then wait until you can post the footage 🤷‍♀️

@al_eye_am @DizzyGillespie1 @funny_timz @gonortheast Have you got the footage?

@DizzyGillespie1 @funny_timz @2_Over_4 @gonortheast You must have obsessed enough over these type of posts in the past to realise that the police request that footage is not shared online before any proceedings have taken place, or the report is not to be taken further.

@crepycidon @gonortheast Rear camera you fucking tinfoil head spunk sock

@2_Over_4 @gonortheast How has the photo been taken? You do wonder whether the cyclist is looking for it. Because otherwise the drone he’s flying (if that’s what it is) is over the pavement and a risk to pedestrians. I’d like to see the video here. Not a still

You Park Like A C*nt Cullercoats edition #YPLAC

So do @GreggsOfficial top up the meat for their sausage rolls by crushing cyclists!? Passed this closely by a moron driver - only for me to catch up with them 20 seconds later and pass them again! #ClosePass #PointlessPass #MustGetInFront #Newcastle

Newish #Wankpanzers come fitted with hands free kits yeah? Why do I always come to expect to see the driver of one of there with a #MobilePhone in hand!? Time for bans! #NorthShields #WhitleyBay

Another reminder of why we need cycle lanes on the coast. Without them, cocks like this would still be driving in the same space as us while using their #MobilePhone!! Time for bans?! #Tynemouth #Cullercoats #WhitleyBay #DickOfTheDay

BBC Look North on W Yorkshire Police OpSnap taking further action against drivers who close pass cyclists. In the last year action was taken against 2,547 drivers who either paid for a retraining course or received a fixed penalty fine or a court summons.

.#DickOfTheDay goes to this @Capital4Train driver in #WhitleyBay. Driving in busy traffic and along a seafront area using a mobile phone.

@JimsWheels I need to grab 10 mins to email you some of the stuff she's doing now....off the scale batshit crazy but unfortunately she knows how to play the legal system!!

@2_Over_4 Yow, this is still going on? That's absurd!
