Inconsiderate Driving

[headlamp]

Read today that a driver was fined £150 for 'inconsiderate driving', a little used bit of legislation the police prosecuted this driver under,
https://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005500465,00.html, for splashing two council workers driving through a puddle...consequently I made a mental note of all the incidents I had of inconsiderate driving this morning, on my usual commute on the North Circular Road in London.

car changing lane without indicating (directly in front of me)
car weaving in lane as I was filtering as driver chatted on mobile phone
car straddling two lanes, preventing filtering
driver flicking cigarette out of window - just in front of me, as I was filtering
car turning right without indicating
car turning left without indicating

I would have made the government £600 this morning !! Any other examples of inconsiderate driving anyone experienced today?

I wondered a few weeks back......

Let's say I fitted a camera to my bike/helmet, then captured all the examples of people driving inconsiderately, without due care, and downright dangerously. Could I then send this video to the police, marking out all the registration numbers that I felt should be taken off the road? Would they do anything about it?

They'd 'do' you stating its illegal to film yourself on the road or some such nonsense!

From a legal standpoint I'm not sure, it would probably be difficult to prove who was driving unless they were on film too. I do know that for video footage to be admissable as evidence in court, for stuff like CCTV anyway, that it needs a date and time stamp embedded in the film.

When I was a teenager, I had a mate who was a bit of a spoiled brat, and he used to know a place where there was a big puddle near a pub and used to drive through it at speed when there was a woman stood there. On one occasion he got the same woman twice in about five minutes.

We lived in hillsborough near the football ground and when certain big games were on some of the away fans used to walk down the middle of some of the back roads as if they were pedestrianised. More than once when he was driving he deliberately bumped into the back of one of them. Which pushed them ofver to great amusement especially as they stood up effing and jeffing and shaking a fist.

In my view this kind of driving is both childish, antisocial and wholly deserving of points and a fine. Bumping into a pedestrian even at 2 mph could easily have caused a spinal injury or some other serious matter.
