The very kind elderly couple with the old (and roomy) Volvo estate were amused that I was more worried about the badger, so were hospital staff. I wasn't in any state to go looking for it, and the RSPCA don't attend unless the precise location of the animal is known. It was probably mortally...

If we all use cameras, we'll have the option.

Aversion therapy works, it works in the army. Punishment works better than a pat on the back. Signs only work on people who will comply anyway, those that don't comply need to be fined and sentenced. So what if it gets their backs up? There are other sets of laws to deal with them, if they then...

Do badgers jump at lasers? :eek:

31 seconds in, LK63 WSO or LK63 WS0

I'll continue to do whatever I can to avoid problems. That first close pass video was really disappointing, given that I was using a side lollipop reflector. I really should have reported this pre-lollipop close pass, but it's been over 14 days. Too late. A second rear-facing camera would have...

I do, all the time now. It's funny how some newspapers call cyclists with cameras "Vigilante cyclists", when all they are doing is going about their normal lives, with the addition of a camera just in case one of the many drivers who couldn't give a damn about their safety, do something...

That happened to me a couple of weeks ago! It was a SUV and it blocked my view of a car which would have flattened me. I don't know if they're genuinely trying to help, or skint psychos replacing Netflix horror shows with grisly cylist deaths. Now I ignore them.

You've made assumptions. I can't move house every time I have a new contract, not knowing where it will be. It's cheaper to build large offices in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps you have been out of work too long? One job for life is no longer the norm.

We need Dutch style roads but wider in the UK! That won't happen without intense grassroots pressure sustained over a long period of time. One way to achieve intense pressure is by using existing laws and rules. Very few cyclists use cameras at present, but if we all overwhelmed the justice...

And badgers! :eek:

I wish I could but: 1. The sun keeps going down. 2. My workplace is in a really awkward location for public transport. Before I got the ebike, it took 2 hous to get there in the morning and 4 hours to get back. It's in between two counties, so I had to use a train and two bus company passes...

They don't have to overtake on narrow roads and lanes, do they? I don't think it's anti-social to "Festoon" my bike with cameras to enable me to hold drivers to account for endangering my life by passing too close. If the Police decide to prosecute as a result, it will be for sound reasons...

He'd had to have passed closer. Have any vehicles hit your lollipop?

I had one beep at me last night because I was in his way on a narrow lane. I wasn't using the middle of the lane. After the road widened and he overtook, I beeped him back! It's good having a loud beeper. Azzole driver.

Not that I've seen. I don't think many can read!

Nobody should be allowed to drive a car unless they passed a driving course, where they're taught how to overtake bicycles safely.

So many more SUVs than there used to be. I've been close passed by those a lot and it's frightening, many are as wide as vans. Cars keep getting wider, taller and heavier. I couldn't believe the size of what's called a mini these days. On the bright side for mini owners, they look less scary to...

I agree. Close passing has much reduced, or isn't as close. Should I glue two lollipops together? It's the drunk and tipsy ones, and taxi and delivery drivers. At night especially, drivers who accelerate to anticipate, beat or not notice trafic lights are very concerning, happens far more...

Around peak pub crawling and closing time is the most dangerous!
