I don’t see the cyclist ‘failing to give way’ to anyone. The footage does show a close pass though.

PMSL, what a clown you are 😂🤣. You will learn the hard way just like this idiot driver did.

No, give way signs don't mean cyclists must stop - they don't even mean motorvehicles must stop. They mean you must give way as necessary Must be great to be so confident, even when you're wrong....

Give way means give way, not stop, you clinically thick pillock.

Very bad reply from you! Things are much different than on camera, and this driver was much much closer than you think! Also, the cyclist was forced to the left to get out of the way! Bad person you are!

@@josephmarsh8235 Maybe reread it. Doesn't say what you seem to think it does. Merely said that the Audi could have waited a few seconds for the gap in oncoming traffic, moved into the oncoming lane, and passed safely. No excuse for close passing the cyclist like that.

Ask how many council vehicles get speeding tickets?

I'm afraid they don't seem to care.

Yup, stupid and pointless.

The hatched road markings have broken surrounding lines, meaning you can cross them (with care and attention) to overtake. You cannot do this if the surrounding lines are solid.

The. Cyclist. Is. Traffic.

@@Cous1nJack He wrote 'passing' traffic.

@@bustestlucloc4630 bikes, horses, cars, lorries, tuktuks are all traffic. All have the same right to use the road. There doesn’t need to be a conflict- creating distinction about bikes and ‘passing traffic’

And what do you find near kerbs,yes drain cover,gravel,glass,pot holes,that's why cyclist don't cycle near kerbs,plus if the driver had waited till there was a gap in on coming traffic,problem sorted,think before you ink.

​@@Cous1nJackI think horses are unpredictable creatures,today I approached a large horse on an A road ,very slowly,all of a the horse start walking sideways,in my mind they should not be on major roads.

Perhaps there isn’t space to allow 1.5 and the width of the car within a single lane. Perhaps if they were closer to the kerb they would have been squeezed into it and injured. Perhaps you should keep your thought to yourself?

@@Cous1nJack He's as entitled to an opinion as you are. Don't be so rude.

@@bustestlucloc4630 who was rude? As you said, we’re both entitled to opinions. As are you.

@@Cous1nJack If you have to ask the question... Telling someone to keep their thoughts to themselves is somewhat contradictory to your last comment, don't you think?

@@bustestlucloc4630 it not even your post to comment on. Get a grip.

Consider the difference between a chosen risk in which a person can see the unfolding picture vs having danger forced from behind. Add to this max 100kg vs >1000kg

Police obviously had the same thinking that I have.

@@pdservices6681 Perhaps the police realise that far too many resources are wasted by cyclists complaining about often minor and questionable issues.

@@bustestlucloc4630 issues nonetheless. What if it was your child on the bike.

You’re probably right and this was obviously one of those they considered a waste of time.

@@isthatujeebus Essex Police init.

@walsallcyclecam1445 beats me. I asked the question and compared to less close, less fast passes that were actioned. No response.

@@boostar155Exactly when is he allowed to complain? At that speed it’s not going to be after the guy has hit him.

@@IThinkItsMe they have not struggled with similar videos I've submitted. There's definitely been a shift in policy lately.

@@makecyclingsafeagain6575 I report a lot of texting drivers and I get no end of NFA. I however have started e-mailing my local MP and intend to start making more of a fuss. This sh*t has to stop.

@IThinkItsMe I understand Essex are really bad at dealing with those. It explains why I see drivers using their phines with complete impunity.

@@makecyclingsafeagain6575 I have startred to beep and make folks jump,, record the reaction. EP policy makes it almost impossible to report texting drivers but I have a plan..... Three years ago my wife died of cancer and we have a 14 year old son. He freeks out about me having two wheels.

@@IThinkItsMe I'm sorry to hear about your wife. Essex Police policy on phone use seems at odds with their commitment to Vision Zero.

@someguymatts I'm not sure what is going on. I've tried to talk to them before and they are very much of the opinion they don't need to explain themselves to members of the public.

I never have date or time stamps on mine, still get processed by west mids police

@Julian-pp4ho case not found after a week usually means the system has not been updated, saferessexroads twitter handle can often find out the result for you. Something has changed very recently, lots of no further actions and the return of ineffective finger wagging letters.

Cheers - I don’t really do twitter/x so I’ll do it the ‘old fashioned way’ with an email. I’m keeping a close eye on the few submissions I make, let’s hope this concerning pattern is short lived - keep safe👍🏻

@Julian-pp4ho they've gone significantly downhill lately, not sure why. Very strange.

@andrewatherton316 there's been a sudden change very recently. No idea why. Local campaign group has made enquiries, but no response to my knowledge.

No, the rider positions themselves in the road as appropriate at _their_ discretion. It is for teh overtaking party to perform their overtake in a safe manner. Try HWC 163, there's even a picture to help the hard of reading

@@bestbehave The latest Highway Code has several stupid new rules. In situations where vehicles are passing a cyclist, common sense dictates that if the lane width is sufficient wide, you give them room.

@@cs7th the rules aren’t different, they’ve been clarified. If you think they’re stupid, you could of course have participated in the widely publicised consultation that went on for months.

How wide are you?

@lolzlolz102 extra eyes service from Essex Police produce outcomes very quickly, usually within 2 days, but can be up to a week.

We know your outcome. Stupid

Tell me you've never ridden a bike on public roads before without telling me you've never ridden a bike on public roads

@@gehteuchnixan69 I think most people drive cars nowadays, I recommend you do the same. Sadly we don't live in Amsterdam, cars are super cheap in the UK.

@@gehteuchnixan69 Find another meme.

@@xx-----------xx873 not everyone is a lazy sack of shit, maybe you should give that a try

Nah, 1.5m minimum is the requirement. If you are having difficulty guaging distance you might want an eye test, and/or extra driving lessons

If there one constant in the world, it's that men crying about women arguing with them are almost always little spineless shits.

@badabing8884 Essex Police Extra Eyes service updates outcomes a few days after submission.

You don't burn more fuel going slowly and come on, drivers don't give a shit about their environmental impact. Ragging their cars to get past a cyclists only to stop and do the same thing again when they hit the next red light. Perhaps all those drivers, almost always a single driver in a massive car should work out a better way to get to work. If you want cyclists not to be on the roads, petition for separated infrastructure that is actually usable rather than the shit we get now which is unmaintained, constantly interrupted by driveways, side roads and covers about 20% of most journeys if you are very lucky.

It's you that's burning fuel dude not them. And as a driver I can say that I've never been delayed on a journey by more than a second or so by riders - you know as well as I do that they're only going to filter past you at the next junction

Dude that road is about 8m wide. Are you a bus driver ? I hope not...

Where's the cycle path?

@@weevilinabox In his tiny little brain

The public highway is there for the public to use as they see fit - unless you use a motor vehilce of course, in which case you are there conditionally It is incumbant on you to keep others safe when driving, and you are not permitted to drive negligently in an attempt to bully the public off the roads

What a stupid comment, whether or not you believe it to be entitled, the car driver was breaking the law. Fuk off back to Lego where you belong!

Is that the level of your thinking, you weren't hit so it must be whinging ?. Please stay off the road until you've read and understood the highway code.

@@antmitchell9930 What a joker! Veteran driver of cycles, motorcycles and cars for over 40 years. No accidents and no whinging. Roads are full of entitled idiots who expect to be able to use the whole carriageway whilst wearing headphones or using a mobile phone. Just another example of a country being held to ransom by snowflake narcisists without a care for universal meeting of need. You should try and read some other books as well as the Highway Code!

As a driver, that was an abysmal pass, in direct contravention of teh HWC That driver isn't just dangerous around people on bikes, but will also display incompetence and negligence other cars, pedestrians, horse riders etc Basically they need removing from the road before they inflict injuries or fatalities on other people

@@bestbehave And you're a telepath I suppose... What a joker! Another entitled cycle warrior no doubt.

Otherwise to what?

​@@bestbehaveOtherwise to a close pass.

@@pspr33 I'll refer you to HWC 163. Takes all opinion out of it

​@@bestbehavecyclist wasn't utilising the cycle lane effectively causing a closer pass - if anything, 0.5m too close as per HWC.

@@pspr33 nope, the only person who can cause a close pass is the person passing - they have the obligation to only pass when safe whilst giving plenty of room. The driver failed to do this inspite of having ample opportunity to plan their overtake safely Cycle lane is irrelevant, presence of paint in the road doesn’t absolve the overtaking party (driver in this case) of their obligations regarding hwc.

Wait, slow down like I do when I'm behind a bus. Any other questions?

Obey the HWC would be great

Sure, I use Cycliq Fly 12 front and Fly 6 rear. Mine are fairly old now, so newer models may be better. Both double up as decent lights. Nighttime footage is OK, but not that clear. Sound has never been overly good because of wind noise, perhaps that's to be expected.
