A pedestrian, cyclist, and driver, pushing back against the tide of road users who feel entitled, or able, to behave dangerously or inconsiderately.

I admit to being surprised that my report regarding this pedestrian-crossing overtake by a motorcycle rider did not meet the threshold for police prosecution.
GOV UK & the Highway Code seem to agree with my opinion.
Anyway, no problem, the footage is now available for debate.
English
@MarkEDenton You’ll highlighted the b paras when it should have been the a paras as the car was moving, not stationary.
The police saw enough in the video from earlier on to show that the grey car was the nearest to the crossing.
There is more to this NFA than I understand.
English
@ThinkLicence Much as I detest people overtaking around pedestrian crossings as it gives rise to a significant risk to pedestrians, your video does not CLEARLY show the motorcycle overtaking the closest vehicle to the crossing...
English
@AcidOllie The Zebra (and more) Crossings Regulations seem to cover moving or stationary motor vehicles before the crossing, but the zig-zags are faded. I guess the police were not up for a fight, or my written statement was insufficient.
English
@ThinkLicence Not sure about this one. Seems ok to me. The lights were already on green when motorcyclist went through. I don't see any markings on the ground on which he was riding. I'm a daily cyclist and have a full car and bike license as well for disclosure. It seems like normal filtering
English
@let_part Or presumably any of this could be used –
Perhaps my worded statement was deficient. Never mind, he will come again.
English
@ThinkLicence It is an offence under regulation TSRGD2016 Sch14 pt1 para15.
I can only guess the NFA is to give the motorcyclist leeway on the timing.
The car had only just started proceeding ( from stationary ).
Had it still been stationary, like when the overtake was started, it’d be legal

@Big_E_WHU @spursfan190676 @CoddyDawe @TfL @limebike If I am not too late, as it is classed as an uninsured motor vehicle you may claim against the Motor Insurers Bureau.

@spursfan190676 @CoddyDawe @TfL @limebike Lucky it was a lime one. I had a private E scooter jump a red light and smash into side of me before legging it.

I’ve been repaying my #studentloan for 10 years. I graduated owing £26,000. Today I owe £28,000. I pay £190 a month through my salary, but £220 is added in monthly interest. I’m paying every month, yet the balance keeps increasing. How is that fair?

“Mummy, Mummy! The big bad cyclist took one hand off his handlebars, can you tell him off?!”

Careless close pass (HC163) by a Range Rover driver on the approach to an intersection (HC167). No allowance made for the very poor road surface.
Police deemed it 'inconsiderate' and slated the driver for an education course.

As a cyclist who also drives back from London a lot these days… I wholeheartedly agree. Especially at red lights & cyclists who think they’re in a race using the car lanes to pass other cyclists! Is it time to have some form of registration marker on bikes?

London pedestrians are more at risk these days from cyclists than from vehicles. They swarm the pavements, sail through red lights & ped crossings, & if you remonstrate they of course swear & shout at you to fuck off. National, London & local govt & @metpoliceuk do nothing.
English
@ThinkLicence I can’t understand why people think cyclists are cunts 🧐
English
@Daveholt1070707 They say they won’t enter into discussions, and that the decision is final. Win some, lose some (hardly any). I shall attempt to stay on their good side as they do usually offer a quick and good service.
English
@Antonio87653 @aldensbutchers I shall reply as a special exception to you as it relates to the 360° camera I use. Any rotation you see is done at the time of editing the video. It is not my body or head rotating at the time. The camera is fixed to the bicycle.
English
@ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers As it shows in the still i posted, You seemed to “shoulder check” whilst still at the light, and it’s at that point, seeing there’s just the one vehicle behind you, that you could’ve easily just let him get across first, but instead you chose to race off to make sure you did.
English
Morning @aldensbutchers , I would have DM privately but you don’t allow that, and I can’t be bothered to upload to YouTube, and email you. You are not heavy X users so might not see this, but it is worth a try.
Please ask your driver(s) to obey DO NOT OVERTAKE CYCLISTS signs.
English
50k views, that will do, there will be no more replies from me, especially as nothing new has been raised this morning. If you seek a reply to a point please search to see if the point has already been made.

@Mr___Ree @aldensbutchers You may suggest what you like.
English
@ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers The road sign doesn’t tell them what to do. We’ve been over this a number of times. Can I suggest you read and understand the Highway Code before you go back out on the roads.
English
@BarriesMagnum @aldensbutchers I cycled across the junction, then stayed in lane. Then I attempted lot stop the incident by signalling the driver to hold back.
English
@ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers You early and intentionally sought out the incident. Don’t try and deny it. We can all see it

@davidhe31155524 @anthslife @aldensbutchers Tell me how much Council Tax you pay and to what authority, and I will give you some of the answer.
Ditto for PAYE.

@ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers Doesn't the sign mean no overtaking when there is oncoming traffic? The manoeuvre looked fine to me.
English
@ThinkLicence @aldensbutchers Did you just jump the lights or don't cyclists need to obey them?
