YK51 OEM

Wow just wow. Talk about rubbish driving..
"You think you own the road you (blah blah blah).."
I think you should be asking yourself that question to be honest, Mr YK51OEM. Clearly aggressive beeping (just where did you expect to go?) near a cross..under-cutting..driving one way whilst looking another (notice the car lurch under braking as he almost takes the silver car out)..verbal abuse (Section 59 Public Order).. and also naturally, the Car Tax which you have not apparently renewed.
All this driving because YOU couldn't wait to turn into a side road - stop acting like a spoilt child? A dangerous one at that (hint: that's not a badge of honour here in the adult world).

I'm not sure the police would allow access to such information, unless charges were filed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can enlighten us.
I do know that from the reg you can find out certain, pertinent details regarding the car..
YF52 OBL is a Red 2003 Vauxhall Astra Sri Dti with a numberplate first registered in LEEDS between September 2002 and February 2003.
This Hatchback was first used on the road on Wednesday 29th January 2003.
I can also tell you that YF52 OBL was last taken in for an MOT on Mon 5th January 2015 (pass). However, I do not know if it was the same driver as naturally ownership of the car could have changed hands.

The police response also annoys me, to be honest. Don't they have a duty to follow up such reports.. a duty of car, to protect and to serve? An oath they swore when they took the job?
If anyone else can find more pertinent details perhaps they could post the info? I'm no expert either, but perhaps this could help.. ‘reasonable cause’:

The road design seems to be a major contributor.. sharp bend, brow of a hill and near a junction. Recipe for disaster.

Hi Everyone,
I'm the cyclist who supplied this footage to the police, then subsequently uploaded it to Youtube. Quite a surprise to come across this thread here!
I'll respond to some of the criticisms against me. Firstly, my cycling is not perfect throughout the video. However, it is safe and courteous. I do make a couple of minor mistakes at a couple of points later in the footage, but I spot them and correct them safely. Part of the reason I film my rides is to see if there's anything I do wrong or fail to anticipate, and if there's anything I can learn from the footage.
I supplied the full footage to the police to make it clear that I had nothing to hide. There were no previous altercations with the driver before I positioned myself ahead of him at the lights. Had I known they would comb the footage for excuses to let the driver off, I might not have been so transparent.
In the footage, I position myself safely in the cycle box behind the moped. When the lights change I initially set off following the moped, accelerating quickly, until I spot the bus on the left signalling to pull out, so I slow down and take a wide line to accommodate the bus. The driver didn't pull out so I accelerated again into the 20mph zone. I was doing at least 20mph after this point so taking the lane really shouldn't be an issue here with anyone.
Following the incident - point taken, I was holding the primary at a slower speed, which I shouldn't have done (and normally wouldn't). I was still pretty shocked here and just gathering my senses. It was either a case of continue in the primary for a bit (I didn't want any further overtakes immediately) or pull off the road completely and wait a couple of minutes. I probably should have done the latter. However I also wanted to follow the driver and see if he pulled any further dangerous stunts, or if I could get a clear shot of his face. So that's the decision I made. Thankfully the other drivers around me were respectful enough not to try anything stupid.
I am writing up a blog dealing with my experiences with the police. I'm pretty shocked by their response.

If I had edited a few more seconds into the beginning of the video you would see that it was only one lane just before the video and the reason it then goes to two lanes is so people can plan ahead and position them selves for the round about. Not so people can try and force their way in at the last moment.
So from your point of view myself and the driver infront forced the focus to ignore the mile long slip road at this junction and the huge gaps further back to take the exit at the last minute in a dangerous and reckless manor?
