@robojimpip I suspect he would only get a warning at most for the first complaint. (Well, assuming anything at all would be done.) Best to report him if you can and let his employer or licensing authority decide what the escalation policy should be.
@MrGrumpycyclist You are probably correct but I would rather give the guy a chance. Hopefully he will realise he was out of order. No damage done this time, makes a useful youtube learning vid.
@matthew6476 It is a little business card advising drivers to check their registration on you tube in a couple of days. It also has the Highway Code and Direct.gov cycling advice addresses and a couple of extracts about safe overtaking and riding in a primary position. Credit to super cool London youtuber sonofthewindsinc for the idea.
@robojimpip SOTW wasn't actually the first to do this but is the only one that has made it work. I started doing in in June 2010, i didn't do it for very long as i didn't find it worth while, especially with road safe london which set letters to the driver if you reported them.
@gaz545 I prepared something like this last year and started to carry them. The first time I wanted to give one out, I put my hand in my pocket to find a wad of wet pulp, so I gave up. Buying a laminator and laminating them was considered, but seemed a bit over the top..
@neosalad That was the taxi driver saying next time. I understood from his manner and tone that it was a threat, I didn’t hear the rest of his sentence.
I hope i bump into in town ya muppet ! I'll smash u right off the road ! 😊

@kievcyclist . No broken bones or massive drama so lets give the guy a chance. Perhaps he is ok most of the time and just behaving out of character.
