Update on NV55PVL

[Andrew_P]

nope spent 7 years cycling without one, until a driver nearly hit with with his car at 40mph and stated it was my fault for being a cyclist.

Edit: It was head on as he was going too fast for the corner

Try a month without it less stress more fun. Reality is I would be 99.9% sure had that car coming the other way hit you that under investigation they would have sussed he came round a bend on the wrong side, too fast, and hit you.

TBH it was one of those thinsg and people say the strangest shoot when they are embarrassed.

The upside is everytime I see a ranting post backed up with a YT video I am even more convinced the downsides are greater than getting to watch all the times I am "nearly" killed..

I wanted to become a PCSO. I had a look on the NWP's website and researched it a little. Turns out that you need a fairly indepth knowledge of the Welsh language to become one in Wales. So that idea is out of the pot.

unless you were born in england then promise to learn welsh honest cross my heart- then don't bother. its the same in teaching welsh born and don't speak welsh then shame on you and however good you might be its just tough tooty

I think i should make one thing crystal clear. The end result i can live with, if its down to X Y Z only advise can been given out im fine with that. Its a result! Least with the talking to the driver knows if hes caught something will happen!

What I am not impressed with and nor will tolerate is the service which i was provided with from the officer who interviewed me.
The officer seemed to transfer, project and externalise a lot of his 'work stress' onto me. Also the fact that my age was brought into question, that somehow because of that i could be belittled into thinking that i am wrong to report this.
In the end the interview left me thinking i was the one in trouble and personally responsible that if anything was to happen, like a house being broke into i felt like i was made personally responsible because i made a valid reporting. I was left thinking i was the one in the wrong and i am to blaim for what has happened. Also a clear impression that was left on me is that the use of a mobile phone while driving is acceptable which is not what i would expect.In turn these people can act outside the law. This is not what i would expect from a officer in are police force. Even if there was nothing they could do, i would not expect and do not expect the be treated like i am the one who should be blaimed for what the police force suffers from. Again i was left feeling like the bad guy though reporting, which was a good think i was personally responsible that anything that could happen was down to me!

If I'd have had a policeman give me a lecture when I was your age, I'd have damn well listened. A lot of young people nowadays know all about their rights and nothing about their responsibilities.

You've admitted to swearing at drivers and 'giving the finger', which is a public order offence. Should I go and report you?

You can try, expect little though, like the driver on the phone i have nothing to worry about.

While you're at it, you going to report cycle gaz and others who cycle with cameras aswell.... in gaz's last video he said fark in public.... The passersby could be offended. Best make a report just to make sure after all.

In addition if i swear at a driver they have done something to offend me so the public order act hits them too. Two birds one stone.

Edit:You talk about young people not knowing responsibility but it is you who fails to know.
I seen a person breaking the law. As a citizen of this country... it is my duty and responsibility report it.

Clearly people don't like the fact i reported this person.
Guess im a only one of the few who cares about laws made to protect people being broken.

Both parents are from England, grandparents the same. I class myself as English and dont care about Welsh born. I loath genuine Welsh people. They are rude, poor, and ill mannered.

Would you care to rephrase that?


Ok, You've had enough time and you are online, and still no apology or retraction?

Reported for racism.

Maybe an ill judged and silly comment. But I doubt if Matthew was intending to be racist.

I'll let the admins be the judge of that. It is my responsibility as a citizen of Cycle Chat to report any breach of the rules.

Good to see you're learning However it was not racism as the welsh are not a race. In fact they are a nationality. If anything matt was stereotyping. Huge difference.

Obvious xenophobia aside, I can see why Matthew might loath someone for being rude or ill-mannered, but to loathe someone for being poor? Dear me. It seems were told to 'be excellent to Matthew' but Matthew isn't very excellent to other people is he?
