Cyclist Accused Of Breaking Law While Reporting Distracted Driver

Cyclist Who Filmed Driver Using Phone Accused By Police Of Breaking The Law, Faces Trial

A 56-year-old cyclist in London found himself in a legal predicament after attempting to report a driver for using a mobile phone while driving. The cyclist filmed the incident with his helmet camera and submitted the footage to the police. However, instead of addressing the driver's behavior, the cyclist was accused of riding his bicycle on the wrong side of the road.

The cyclist is facing charges of riding without due care and attention and is set to stand trial next month. In contrast, the driver of the Range Rover received only an advisory letter from the police and is not facing criminal charges.
