WATCH: Cyclist fined after own submitted footage showed him at fault
A cyclist who submitted footage of bad driving to West Yorkshire Police has been ordered to pay more than £1,200 in fines and court costs after the very same footage went on to show his poor cycling.
The Leeds-based cyclist uploaded a video showing a car passing too close to his pedal cycle to a police portal.
However, later on in the same submission he captured himself riding without due care and attention as he approached a parked car and an oncoming vehicle.
Rather than slow down or have to unclip from his pedals, the rider chose to travel between the parked car and the vehicle heading directly towards him, police said.
The footage was captured in Menston near Ilkley. The rider was dealt with by magistrates in Bradford last week.
