Well, it would've also been reviewed by the traffic commissioner who has the power to revoke HGV licenses, or so I'm told, so maybe this was ultimately pretty costly for the guy.

I get the lack of interest, if collectively you don't care for cyclists, then why waste your resources protecting them... but in the UK there is a process for identifying the drivers, via the registration plate... a notice of intent to prosecute is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle and they are asked to identify who was driving. If they fail to do this they end up with an automatic £800 charge, 6 points and the maximum penalty for the offence identified, where as if they just reply they usually get an FPN or sent on a days driving education at their own expense. Anyway, when it comes to processes and efficiency you guys are the masters, so whatever you're doing is probably the example the rest of the world should follow.

Yeah, trying to decondition myself from expecting death to come from over my right shoulder.

@@MiseEnZheng Be safe out there.

It's true. When I rode, I stayed tight in this corner just to take the fastest line before the road opened back up.

ngl, that cut so deep. 💔

That's a real shame. I pity your shallow resilience.@@MiseEnZheng

@@grahamherbert3612 Nah, if I actually cared about mean spirited no-life low-lives on the internet throwing base and presumptuous insults around I wouldn't keep the channel active. To be honest seeing how a gammon head's fanny literally snaps at the sight of bike cam footage gives me a little bit of schadenfreude. I agree though that there are a lot of footage hunters out there, although it's not only the MAMILs. Plenty of motorists just as bad for it. I cycled for 5 years before it became a necessity to get a camera due to how much aggro I had started getting (from people with your warped and malevolent disposition I might add). But in April 2021 I was knocked off at high speed and lost my capability to ride. I'm still rehabilitating but don't intend to get back on a bike, because people like you and like the driver who took me out will always exist and that means something fun, healthy, logistical, efficient, sustainable etc is no longer accessible to me.

​@MiseEnZheng you do care or you wouldn't have throw an insult back. "No-life low-life"lol

How does one, "enjoy the journey" when road users around them are putting them at risk, can I ask?

So what would you say to someone with a car, two motorcycles but cycles to keep fit? They pay a lot of road tax so does that entitle them to cycle in a dangerous way? You really have not thought this through have you.

IDIOT. Cyclist is trying to get to work to.

@@christianweller4288 Yes I have thought it through ! What gives you the right to slow down and block roads with your cycling two abreast on narrow lanes ! I dont think you have thought it through have you ? and dont give it all this "Its Government Rules " Guff either ! it used to be single file on Roads . So if the Government said jump in front of a truck you would do it ? give it a rest mate you talking Crap !

@@ghichens3418 Please get your blood pressure checked, before your head explodes. Maybe you could take up cycling to lower it. :D

Wtf is road tax? , it's not existed since 1937 when it was abolished!, you must be confusing it with VED which is based on vehicle emissions, which is why bikes are nil rated!, we all pay for the roads via our general taxes, please don't make a fool if yourself again! 🤣

Sadly, it did... after 6 years of serious riding, in April 2021 I was hit at speed by toyota hilux. I was told by a thoracic surgeon "9 times out of 10, those injuries are fatal on the road side"... hasten to say, I am still in love with cycling, but the idea of ever doing it again haunts and terrifies me.

​@@MiseEnZheng Take your time. Perhaps some day, you'll get back (up on the horse) in the saddle and ride again ... when you're ready. Start with a "bike path". Not sure if you have those but we have very lengthy and varied ones here, ONLY for bicycles, and they usually run along the sides of rivers and streams thru woods with nary a car in sight. Sweeeet!

I was using the Cycliq Fly12 and Fly6. If I could still ride these would be absolute essentials. They're good because they're also high powered 'see' and 'be seen' lights with impressive battery reserve.

@@MiseEnZheng Thanks 👍

me too@@MiseEnZheng

Sorry to hear about your friend. I no longer ride because of a very near fatal accident also. In that case the driver went to court and was fined about £300 and given 6pts for driving without due care and attention. Even the police were telling me the system felt broke, as the consequences of his driving were much more severe than the charge brought against him, obviously we can't know of he was driving with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, but grievous bodily harm was caused by his lack of care... at what point does the measuring stick acknowledge it was simply 'dangerous driving'... I don't know. I do know that 2 years later, my life is still ruined, the compensation claim is ongoing and I can't get what happened to me out of my head.

@@MiseEnZheng This is heartbreaking to read, I'm so sorry to read about your accident. Every road user in the UK (cyclist, pedestrian, motorist) has to reclaim the roads from the toxic drivers who believe in their right to dominate the little square of tarmac their vehicle occupies. The whole psychology of road use has to change and your case perfectly illustrates why.

@@johnbidwell2393 I couldn't agree more. I truly feel the best thing we could've done in this country, (instead of spending millions on confusing cycle lanes) would've been to do an information campaign, with the goal of humanising cyclists and creating empathy, i.e. TV adverts and billboards - but do something a bit more clever and impactful that makes people sit up and take notice.

@@jeremyjones3764 Yes. Certainly the last 50 years have seen a change in attitudes to car ownership, similar to TV ownership. I'm concerned that instead of attempting to reset these attitudes to something healthier for everyone on the roads the UK govt is now talking about maintaining our "freedom to drive" in a desperate attempt to win votes next year.

​@@MiseEnZheng Sounds like you have your purpose laid out before you Mise. Get your videos into a concise educational format and bring your personal physical costs to the forefront. Time to speak / tour to all... both vehicle drivers and cyclists. Start with secondary school students. Plant those seeds and be the change needed. Best of British!

Only 4 miles down the road I passed this guy again... because... shock horror... traffic was holding him up. 👍

@@MiseEnZheng After you held him up

@@TimothyT230 scapegoating and victim blaming... I sure hope you don't have a license with that attitude. Cretins with your backwards logic are why some of us physically CAN'T cycle anymore.

@@TimothyT230 People die every day because they 'hold up' impatient drivers who are 'forced' to take a fatal decision to overtake, or pull out or whatever - resulting in the death of another road user. Your fvcked-up logic that somehow a truck driver has more of a right to use the road than a cyclist will hopefully get you fined and banned before you alsomake a decision that gets somebody killed. Don't believe it can happen to you? Think again.

you being lazy & running late isn't anyone elses fault but your own.

You failed to wait for the green light before proceeding. Therefore this was your own error and fault not the taxi drivers. Read the Highway Code soon

@@jeremyjones3764 confirms that the cyclist has jumped the lights

@@seansean9675 Reread it - he moved off as the lights were just changing to green. If he approached the junction as they were already green, he'd have been going faster and had a more serious collision. Sorry if it were you losing your taxi driver's license.

@@gamerknown you took the time to reconfirm the cyclist jumped the lights. you should watch the video

So you decided to behave like a total cunt because you didn't get the grovelling apology you kept demanding?

Should be something substantial.

You're cool.

Is he supposed to stop his bike so they can all get by? What if he's pressed for time, working or going to work? Would you if you went EVERYWHERE by bicycle (not just you 1 km trip to the market once / week)? If it's so good, get a bike and get a dose of reality.

People with this mindset will often end up close passing as a form of punishment.

Send me your reg number. I need some new paint on my keys.

Found the 🍆

Thanks mate. 🙏🏻 - I agree. The motorist who ended my cycling career in April 2021 (and subsequently pretty much ruined my life) also only got "without due care and attention" - even though they accelerated through 2 give ways into an active dual carriage way without making observations when they hit me. Two camera angles caught the incident... he was also heard by the camera repeatedly lying stating I had come off the footpath into his vehicle. He got 6 points and £500 fine (I got a caved in rib cage, punctured lung, torn aorta, haematoma's on my liver and spleen, a fractured arm which needed surgery and 18months of rehab, a heavy case of PTSD, developed a dependency on alcohol, became obese, became toxic to be around, my fiancee left me for another man, my children dislike me, I'm under-performing in my job... have no social life... and yeah... while I was in hospital this video was still drawing in trolls). Grim.

@@MiseEnZheng so sorry to hear about what happened to you. Your experience is why I can’t stand it when people try to trivialise bad driving, and our politicians, particularly, and our media categorically refuse to address it.

Definitely wasn't delaying this wagon. Caught up to him multiple times until we parted ways in Kirkstall. You can see from the rear footage how slow and cumbersome the vehicle is. There was room to pass safely coming up, this pass was inches from killing me. Driver deserves all he got and more.

@@MiseEnZheng the answer I expected

@@harryatkinson1690 Well I'm probably the least likely person to twist my mind to take a humane view of a driver who endangers another's life like this - in April 2021 I was nearly killed by a vehicle that sped through a junction and side swiped me. It ended my cycling career and has as good as ruined my life. But you'll be happy to know that driver only got 6pts and a £500 fine. 👍

he didn't do anything other than give footage to the police of a driver committing a offence which if anything is a positive civic action, the driver is the person who committed the offence they are the individual who put their licence at risk.

Ohh dear , the lycra Luvvies justifying being squealing camera clad doo gooders, never made a mistake in their lives 💩

This was before the safer roads portal in west yorkshire, so I actually called the non-emergency line to report the incident. After describing what had happened to them they allocated me an police constable who I liaised with, they took a verbal witness report from me and reviewed the footage themselves, and as they saw me as the victim, they kept me updated with the prosecution. The police did state to me that they call the driver in for an interview, and that's usually enough, the driver is fully freaked out and then they're apologetic, so the police get back to the victim to see id the victim is happy to drop charges and let them off with a warning. My PC wanted this but said that my video footage didn't show any evidence of an offence, and that he was only sorry that I as a cyclist scared so easily, so the PC was as happy as I was to see him prosecuted at court (especially after saying the judge would "laugh the PC and Cyclist out of the court..." Guy was just an absolute piece of work.

Hi Steve. So when I first started running cameras in 2020, there was no easy way to submit digital evidence for a prosecution for the majority of cities/districts in West Yorkshire. As an area we were REALLY behind the times in that regard. Bradford did have Operation Steerside, which was an email inbox, I would host clips on a cloud and send them with all the required info and they almost always took action and updated me with outcomes etc - but if anything happened in Calderdale, Kirklees, Keighley or Leeds, then the only way to submit a report was to take the SD card from the camera and hand it in as evidence to a police station within 48 hours of the incident and complete a witness statement in person. Which I honestly didn't have time to do (worked full time and have 2 kids under 10). Later that year, and after a fair bit of lobbying by cyclists in the region, 'saferroads' was opened which was an online portal for submitting video evidence in West Yorkshire. I submitted my first red light runner in July 2020, and as of May 2022 I've submitted 329 reports in total. However, in April 2021 I sustained life altering trauma in a collision with a Toyota Hilux (compensation case still ongoing). So I no longer cycle, my town has a pedestrian refuge/traffic island that frequently gets abused by people going the wrong way around it, so when in passing I'd sometimes film folk committing this offence and send it in. While I don't truly believe catching folk in the wrong will truly change bad behaviours/road use, It does feel like some scale of justice is being restored for me if I do get a result... and if it makes one person drive more considerately, down the road that could be a life saved.

@@MiseEnZheng Nice one and so sorry to hear about accident, hope you are able to get back cycling sometime. Yes, maybe I'm being a tad optimistic in thinking filming might alter behaviour! As you say getting some justice though helps in a small way.

I enjoyed that little story. Your prose has a slightly unhinged "Hubert Selby Jr" vibe.
