People in London can report mobile-phone-using drivers on the following form:

http://www.met.polic...roadsafelondon/

The form takes about 5 mins to fill in, and can be sent anonymously. It is also relevant for other gross traffic offences. I have sent in several forms and correspondence with the admin officers shows that they are very keen indeed to get details of "those who consider themselves above the law" in their words. There is even a drop-down choice for "cycling near-misses". We should support this effort to change the enforcement environment in favour of the general good.

If people are aware of other schemes around the country, perhaps they could also post details?

Admin, could we have a sticky?

Cheers

TI

Shame I didn't get the Plate number of the Coach Driver turning in to Jamaica Road from Tower Bridge, it was shocking to see a "Professional" driver on the phone whil turning the steering wheel.

Looks good, wish they did something like that in the Midlands.

Hi Philip
Many thanks for the information, and you quite rightly state that this
vehicle is not insured.
I will be in contact with the owner imminently

Kind regards

Sarah

Good cycle cam evidence - looks like the Met site might have some teeth after all.

When I get a chance, I'll use it...
