Road safety campaign slammed for claiming some cyclists 'proactively seek out examples of poor driving', says it only accepts footage captured 'in passing' from commutes cycling
The stance has drawn criticism, one cyclist calling it"shocking" and another saying it is a"completely unacceptable response". Others questioned how SERP would determine the difference between someone who recorded something"in passing" and other footage"proactively" sought out.
Another added:"You don't need to 'seek out' bad driving, it usually finds us. That's just how prolific it is. This has big 'if I don't see it it doesn't happen' energy. Do better and maybe take a leaf out of West Yorkshire Police's book — a force that actually cares about reducing road danger." CyclingMikey — who has reported thousands of law-breaking drivers in London, often for using their phone behind the wheel in cases similar to the one SERP was displeased about — called the outlook a"disgrace" and said"you should accept all such reports".
Of the 252 reports, 15 came from cyclists, resulting in three prosecutions, four warning letters, one passed to another team and seven cases of no further action.
