How can this not have been dangerous driving? Suspended sentence and 12 month ban.

Regrettably the jury acquitted him of that, CPS thought it stood reasonable prospects. Jury = drivers presumably. Careless carries far lower sentencing. Awful for the family. Feeble ban.

I have the Evo folding ones, they fit nicely on a rear pocket. An old 4-magnet job which is now glued & magneted to a cheap reflective vest serves well in the winter.

Incompetent driver. Separated cycle lanes are going in and drivers are whining about them.

Sometimes possible to increase exposure of the footage afterwards which can reveal more detail

Nasty stuff. Hopefully this was reported.

Ah yes, weird ...an apology in person at the time would probably have been better

They might just have seen you around. Nice to get an apology.

It's getting dark out earlier, be sure to add a bright coat of paint to your vehicle. Remember road safety is a shared responsibility.
