Well at 72 I still love my cycling and for a few years now I have cycled 4 > 5,000 miles a year here in rural North Yorkshire. Most of us become more circumspect with age and I am no different. Tired of playing 'Russian roulette' with cavalier vehicle drivers I have recently equipped myself with a small 'action cam' to record my rides. This has dual functionality in that I can relive some of the beautiful views and scenery I encounter but also when they find me broken and bleeding in a ditch having been assaulted by 2,000 kg
of SUV/People carrier/White van etc someone may think to upload the video and have a great time spending the compensation. This idiot scared me today. I was turning right, already had my arm out when he came charging by, wrong side of the double white lines. bas**rd !.

P.S As stated later, this is a low res copy here. I (and the Police) have a high res copy clearly showing the car Reg No & make/model of car.
P.P.S Police have now contacted me with a “intention to prosecute” document.
