Charge him with what? It was a close pass - but that's not an offence.

“Driving without due care and attention”
The requirement is that the driver is shown to have driven below the standard of a careful and considerate driver, one example is "

• driving inappropriately close to another vehicle;
• http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/p_to_r/...osecuting_cases_of_bad_driving/index.html#a30

And from New Zealand?

Five in 18 months of being back in the UK, all backed up with video

No, they just do not like working for their pay

Hmm. I can see with your attitude how I might be right.

Getting off topic, you are getting a bit trolly again, you know what they say, "Do not feed the Trolls"

No it is bang on thread. It is about why the police are not siding with you.

I know the CPS guidance (very well in fact). But a close overtake in itself does not necessarily constitute driving without due care and attention.

haha that's one hell of a Butt-hurt driver

"Prosecutor Michael Butt told the court: "This was a deliberate act by a driver who either wished to scare the living daylights out of the cyclist or perhaps, even worse, run them off the road."

True, the Driver does have the chance to avoid charges if his reasoning for the careless act is valid, and not in itself another act demonstrating they are driving below what is expected of a "Careful and considerate driver" Careless Driving charges are surprisingly easy to enforce given the amount of drivers that seem to think a steel cage will protect them from anything

The linked report says the driver's siblings died almost a decade ago, which means it's unlikely they could offer a substantive alibi.

This fits perfectly with the stereotype of drivers that deliberately drive very close to vulnerable road users, I only hope the Judge has passed on to his colleagues the enormity of his error of judgement in not locking him up when he had the chance. 100% better = so back to the person he was without an addiction, just another lowlife that needs locking away.

This post isn't worthy of a debate. Fairly clear the OP has his stance, and isn't really interested in hearing from anyone who doesn't agree.

So instead, I'm simply going to highly criticise Incontinentia for misuse of a meme. That meme should always finish "because aliens".

Same junction only with a Careful and Considerate driver
