Police issued a fixed penalty notice? Driver convicted at court after not guilty plea? And yet it's still the cyclists fault (according to the replies to Northamptonshire Police's Facebook post)... cycling
There was an expensive day in court for one Northamptonshire driver just before Christmas after their refusal to pay a fixed penalty notice ended with being found guilty of driving without due care and attention, five points on her driving licence, a £440 fine, costs of £625 and a £44 victim surcharge.
Northamptonshire Police today revealed the footage was reported via the Operation Snap online portal and reviewed by officers who concluded the"video proved beyond doubt that World had shown no consideration for the other road user".Pleading not guilty, the driver turned down the option to pay a fixed penalty notice and was, in her absence, found guilty of the single charge on Wednesday 14 December.
"Is cyclist in the correct lane? Seems like there is free lane on left for turning," another comment read."If I was on a push bike I'd not be on the right hand side of a road if I intend to turn left." The force also added instructions to cyclists who may wish to upload footage of dangerous driving via the Operation Snap portal...
If it matches the Operation Snap criteria, police officers in the Safer Roads Team then examine the footage. If a driving offence is identified, legal proceedings will begin where required.
