"jnugent" wrote in message ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-24124187 Let's hope that someone manages to catch Dave Sherry doing something wrong on his bike (or even while driving his London bus). Is that bus even moving? Rather ironic that Dave Snidey Sherry had to have taken his eyes off the road ahead to capture this footage of a road user not paying attention. Isn't that how accidents happen? One can only imagine what kind of person he is, another Percy Wetmore (The Green Mile) |

After all, cyclists and London bus drivers have no peers when it comes to quantity of traffic offences per 100km travelled. It looks like it is his hobby: When 36 year old cyclist Dave Sherry was approaching the Waterworks Roundabout in Woodford, London (A406) he noticed a flat-bed recovery truck swaying in the lane ahead. As he cycled up next to him, Mr. Sherry, from Harlow, Essex, saw that the driver was on the phone, which explained the unusual driving. |

Everything that I have read seems to suggest that using a mobile phone while you are driving is at least as dangerous as driving while under the influence of alcohol. Are you saying that it is wrong to shop a drunk driver? After all, cyclists and London bus drivers have no peers when it comes to quantity of traffic offences per 100km travelled. Can we have your evidence to back up this absurd statement, please? |

Nice to have vigilantes like this on the road keeping us all safer. I shall certainly be using my helmet camera in a similar way, to persecute motorists for their bad driving and general law breaking. |

Can you qualify that statement? A link to the number of convictions per 100km by mode would suffice. Why? Are you unable to trust your own eyes?

You are almost as much of a brain dead ****wit as the Mentalguy who sees coaches speeding around at over 70 mph and then has to backtrack and start using words like 'anecdotal'. So let's get this right: despite the fact that their are millions more cars than there are cyclists, despite the fact that government has to run a vast machine just to police the behaviour of motorists, and despite the fact that UK charity Road Peace (http://www.roadpeace.org) estimates that as of this morning nearly 895 thousand people have been killed on roads worldwide (a minute fraction of which might have been caused by cyclists), you think - actually you fantasise - that cyclists and London (why just London?) bus drivers commit more traffic offences than car drivers! lol |
