To convict him of dangerous driving would require his driving to fall below that expected of a normal driver and his behaviour is normal for motorists. Quite how threatening to run someone over with 2 tonnes of metal became acceptable behaviour is beyond me. If you put a gun to someones head and threatened to shoot them because they were in your way you would be in prison for life. Explain why the cyclist pulled in front of him without using his mirrors. The cyclist did not have mirrors. Is that because he doesn't show a reflection? No, it's because some cyclists are incompetant.* Drive a car with no mirrors and you get arrested. IFYPFY |

There is no (UK) requirement for a vehicle to be fitted with indicators, though if fitted at all, they have to work. |

Presumably there is still a requirement to signal somehow? I can imagine that having an arm out the open window signalling while making a turn would not be that conducive to safe driving. |

Presumably there is still a requirement to signal somehow? I can imagine that having an arm out the open window signalling while making a turn would not be that conducive to safe driving. It's odd. The ability to signal by means of automatic signals and traditional hand signals is, as far as I know, still tested as part of the driving test. But the C&U Regs do not require indicators to be fitted and there is no legal requirement to give signals (and therefore no offence of failing to signal, though it might - just - be caught in the "driving without due consideration for other road-users" provision *if* the vehice is fitted with them). |

Yes I agree it is very odd. In this UK colony cars have required automatic signals for as long as I can remember; at first lighted "semaphore" sticks which sprang out from the sides of the vehicle, and later flashing amber lights. |
