 C

There have been no recorded offences of riding a cycle dangerously in the past five years. 

D

In February 2014, video evidence was presented to police by a cyclist who claimed a motorist drove in a dangerous manner whilst overtaking a group of four cycles. There was insufficient evidence to prosecute the motorist for dangerous driving however; he received a caution at the Parish Hall for driving without due care and attention.

One of the prosecutions listed above (written caution) involved the use of CCTV from Liberty Bus to show a driver caused a cyclist to fall from the bicycle although no contact was made. 

E

There have been no prosecutions of cyclists where the evidence was provided by camera.

Police are currently investigating evidence from a vehicle dashboard camera involving an allegation against the rider of a motorcycle.
