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?

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

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.

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!

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.

This delivery driver clearly thought they would get away with driving carelessly in a highly branded ASDA van. They didn't consider that most cyclists now run cameras and report close passes to the police. They were issued with a NIP, accepted guilt and opted for a course.

'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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Every now and then cyclists experience an aggressive 'punishment pass' - threatening driving that appears deliberate. In the past drivers would get away with this. Not now. This Ibiza driver was reported to West Yorkshire Police.

Most motorists now know how to pass cyclists leaving at least 1.5m of space, however, there are still some who need to learn. This Skoda keeper is soon to get a police letter demanding confirmation of the driver so they can be processed for careless driving.

You should not enter any hatched area bounded by a broken line unless it is safe to do so. Passing a cyclist who is overtaking parked cars is not such a time. Reported to the police. Let's hope the safer driving course included rule 130. #Steeton #AiredaleHospital

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

A narrow country road. Lots of traffic and poor surfaces, particularly at the edges. Impatience takes over and the Audi driver passes where there isn't enough space. They are reported to the police who take positive action against them.

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.

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 ?

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.
