Transformation

I thought i would share(i seem to have alot to share)

Anyhow, remember SH04ZTV?
If you don't I reported him to the council a few months ago. The council man got the driver to come to the main office and talked to him about the incident that occurred.

Anyhow I seen him today for the first time since the reporting.
He give me plenty of clearance when he overtook me and his style of driving seems to have changed around me. He waited behind for a period of time until it was clear and overtook.

I am unsure if he was aware it was me or even that he knew it was me who reported him. Anyhow its an evident and significant improvement.

This has shown that people can change or adapt.

P.S i had to get a meme in somewhere
I admit some may consider this not to be as significant as other things. I put it here anyway as its a good change and improvement. Hopefully everyone will benefit.
Dan out.

What ever. Good result but you kids need to wind the attitude in.

Interesting bit in news today about youth crime being down with causes attributed to kids being to busy playing on computers...

Tbh I can't understand why you'd go to the hassle of reporting that and how would you even know it was the same driver?

I can't wait for all the videos coming when you learn to drive. The local plod, council and YouTube will be flooded with reports.

Here we go again....

I thought the thread title meant that you'd ditched the camera.

Anyone remember the GK03ZTM video from June? Well I have seen the guy twice during the Christmas period (he didnt overtake me). I am keeping an eye out for him at the moment as the video is going to be featured on a TV programme and they requested an interview from the driver.
If I were to approach him, I would be very careful about it and if he said NO or started an argument, I would just leave. I hope he has learnt his lesson though. I believe he is unaware of how popular the video actually is.

Clearly you have not learnt yours though. Of course the video is going to be popular. Will be looking forward to hearing his response and the TV programme.

I could drive if I wanted to but it's rather pointless and a finance drain for what I would be using it for
I pump my finance into cycling and also my pilot training. With the training costing around 10k. Im not ideally going to be driving for an unnecessary reason
Anyhow said my piece I'm off to sleep

Of course I remember a 7 character number plate from an incident you had 7 months ago.

He's turning into me then!
I am learning to drive in May/June so I think that will give me a bit of help to understand what drivers go through when driving around cyclists (I of course will be very courteous to them).

Cheers. Got to be honest Matt, if that video appears on a TV programme, I think public sympathy will lie with the driver. When Gaz appeared on 'The War on Britains Roads' most people I know sided with the taxi driver, even though his driving was dangerous.

Yes. The good thing is that I am doing the interview myself (of myself), meaning I can plan my answers as to not get twisted.

This is excellent news!

I've had a good look through the Oxford Concise History of Digging Bloody Great Holes and cannot find a single occurrence of someone carrying on digging when any sane person would throw the spade as far away as they could and run far, far away.

This being so, I am sure your TV interview will be a storming success and the other chap will have egg all over his face.

Are you and Bicycle Dan secretly the same person, like Glenn Hoddle and Dawesome?

LOL No. I believe Dan is a little younger than me. The young Padawan has much to learn.
