White van man strikes again

Punishment pass.
What would have happened had you gone into the back of his van, its hard to see how that could have been your fault.

A "Crash for cash" attempt?
This is a business that costs British insurance companies several hundred million pounds a year!

You think WVM would risk smashing his vehicle up? Idiot drivers do close passes, punishment passes and brake tests on cyclists because they know it's unlikely to damage their vehicle if there's a collision. Plus, if a death occurs, they'll get a fine of less than the cost of the bike the deceased was riding. There is no way drivers would risk their own vehicle, and cyclists are the vulnerable ones, a close pass like that is the reason people are frightened of cycling.

Absolutely........ You are crediting with a brain process the video shows is beyond his capability...............

I've seen drivers punish pass and brake test each other.

As you are presumed in the wrong in a rear end collision Car camera ftw

Just an update on this. complainted to the IPCC who refered into to Avon and Somerset Police, one of the inspectors was taking the complaint and dealing with it, contacted me letting me know that although there was no criminal charges etc he will send the registered owner of the vehicle a official police caution including a letter with the link to the video on and also send me a copy to.

Heartening. Well done on following it up. An official caution, not a warning?

I think I will be following up an formal complaint against the officers who dismissed my HGV incident and treated me like excrement, especially as they never responded to my informal feedback.

Either a caution or warning, I cant remember, will soon find out when I get a copy of the letter. If you complain via the IPCC then the force has to investigate it so they will make contact with you.
