Brutal 20% climb on a narrow lane. Struggling to maintain grip. Technically this van should wait behind until they can give at least 1.5m of space. If they had slowed down/passed carefully, I wouldn't have reported them. They didn't so I did. Actioned by WYP.

One of these vehicles is to receive a letter from the police. Which one do you think it is? Bonus points for why.

A very narrow #Silsden lane with parked cars reducing the already limited space. You'd never attempt to overtake a car here - so why a cyclist? This impatient Toyota RAV4 driver can't wait a couple of seconds and passes too close. Reported to WYP who took action against them.

'Ride centrally in primary position to prevent close passes'. Here I am doing just that at approx 25mph in the 30mph zone. Plenty of room in the opposite lane which the van driver doesn't use. Fit a Fiat 500 (1.6m) in the space left? WYP give this NFA. Why?

How much space do you think this Ssangyong gave as they passed the cam cyclist? Reported to West Yorks Op Snap and slated for an education course. Should really play this to the class and ask them to explain why they thought this was ok.

This white van driver sees the driver in front pull out to pass the cyclist 'as you would a car' leaving at least 1.5m of space (more if over 30mph) but doesn't follow their example. They were reported to the police who offered them an education course to improve their driving

A Land Rover and BMW. Guess which one received a letter from the police asking them to ID who was behind the wheel at time of this careless pass on a cyclist?

Court: this Mustang driver was charged with 'Driving without reasonable consideration to others'. The keeper failed to identify who was driving so was charged with a Section 172 RTA. This was dropped at pretrial. On Tuesday they pleaded guilty to careless driving.

'You can't prove that close pass. Your camera needs to be calibrated/the wide angle lens distorts distances.' Yes, we can. The video shows the cyclist is 1m out from the kerb. Add 0.3m from the centrally mounted camera to the elbow of the cyclist to give 1.3m... 1/3

Two white van drivers - one is professional and values his license by passing a cyclist giving at least 1.5m (Approx 5ft) of space. The other is reported and processed by the police for driving without reasonable consideration to others.

Just because a cyclist is in a bike lane, it doesn't mean you can carelessly close pass them. This Range Rover driver was way too close and reported to the police. #ClosePass #OpSnap #VisionZero

Lots of room but this Peugeot driver can't overtake two cyclists safely 'as you would a car' leaving at least 1.5m of space. In West Yorkshire drivers like this are offered a safer driving course if eligible. This one clearly needed one.

This Citroen driver will soon open a 'Merry Christmas' letter from the police asking them to confirm who was driving so they can be processed for driving without reasonable consideration to others. It takes such little effort to pass a cyclist leaving at least 1.5m of space.

This excellent lorry driver waits patiently behind until there is a safe place to pass the cyclist. He then overtakes giving plenty of space. A wave of thanks from the cyclist and thumbs up from the driver. Hats off to you sir!

What to do? See a cyclist filtering on your left and you want to turn left. Clue: don't overtake the cyclist cutting across their path as they signal right.

Drivers: if cyclists are considerate enough to pull over and let you pass, have the courtesy to use the available space and overtake safely.

DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example, approaching or at a road junction (HC167). The Caddy driver knew this but the Panels Direct van driver had to learn this the hard way. Take a few seconds to save a lot hassle.

These narrow country lanes were never built for cars, let alone huge American Mustangs. Instead of waiting a few seconds like the Lexus, this careless driver pushed past two cyclists and was reported to the police for driving without due care and attention. #YorkshireDales

If you are following a cyclist and it's too narrow to pass simply wait a few seconds until there is safe space. The police took positive action against this white van driver for not giving 'at least 1.5m of space'.

If it is too narrow to give a cyclist at least 1.5m of space when passing then just wait and pass when it's safe. This impatient Audi driver overtook on a blind bend and was reported to the police who offered them a £90 safer driving course.

Driver behaviour around cyclists is slowly improving. Great careful pass by this BMW driver. As vulnerable road users, we really appreciate this. Thank you!

This was a dangerous one - how close do you think that was?! Drivers like this should lose their licence. A gust of wind or pothole and I would have been dead. And people wonder why we report bad drivers 🤷‍♂️ Know the driver #Grassington #Hebden #PateleyBridge ?

Quiz time. How many of the vehicles shown receive action from the police? Bonus points for the breaches. Note the hand moving off the shifter to signal right.

Can you identify the red flags that should have deterred this bus driver from passing a cyclist at this point? They were reported to the police and opted to take an education course.

Reasons why cyclists ride in the middle of the road. Here the lane is narrow and the cyclist is travelling close to the speed limit. By moving into primary the cyclist prevents a careless pass into oncoming traffic. Notice how primary is maintained through the roundabout.

Multiple breaches here. Critically, they all fail to recognise a vulnerable road user (cyclist), slow down and pass safely and legally. Reported to the police who took action against them.
