I truly believe that if anything ever happens to me, it will come from behind

In Cambridge a number of the estate agents use Minis as company cars... 'nuff said.

That's not confined to Cambridge... London has the same, if not worse problem.

The dark green ones with the x-ray print on them?

That's Foxtons. Feel free to slash tyres / scratch paintwork / firebomb / murder occupants if you ever come across one. They won't be missed.

I was taken out from behind by a Ford Cortina in 1982, I was also clipped and taken out by an overtaking Ford Focus in 2007

Estate agents are the salt of the earth.

Was that Emma Way?

Nasty driving, it really makes me want to get a cam, with this thread and the one last night it is covers you as a witness of what happened. I really need to start taking a more primary position approaching these islands on my route.

yes you do.

One looked rather like a Golf. The other was a BMW MINI, the ideal car for people who think that driving is a PS3 game...

Utterly bizarre place to go for a pass... Coming into a junction and with a clear bollard between lanes.

This smacks a little to me of 'concentrating on something other than the road'.

i think he just blindly followed the car in front.

Minis are not very mini these days.

Well. The police said it's unlikely to go to court because there's not enough evidence but they will be sending a "notice of intended prosecution" so he will have to go the copshop to explain himself and then they'll decide what action to take. They're going to phone me back after they speak to him. I think it helped a bit that i explained i was the cycle instructor and cycle safety rep at work, and the reason i had my camera there was because i was filming for a safety video (ie i wasn't a helmet cam vigilante out to get drivers).

i wish i could be a fly on the wall when he opens his post tomorrow. I'm not too bothered about the court thing, i think the letter will shoot him up and make him think next time. although it does make my blood boil that they haven't got enough evidence; exactly how much evidence do you need other than clear footage of what happened??. i think i'll interpret that as, can't be arsed with the paperwork.

o yea, i originally asked them if they could issue a fine under their new careless driving powers. apparently, they can only do that if the cop witnesses something. WHAT IS THE DAMN POINT IN THE NEW POWERS? cops are never around when you need em.

I think tomorrow i will report the other one to Solihull police.

Most people around here are clever enough to understand the bollards are pinch points. That Mini driver was daft as a brush!

Minis are not very mini these days.

I went out the other night in Portsmouth and there were some some very mini minis
