Reporting Dangerous Driving
- Have you ever been subjected to an offence such as a driver narrowly missing you whilst using a mobile phone? Have you ever been a victim of road rage?
- Always have a pen and paper with you.
- It also helps to have a camera with you. For many, this is likely to be a camera phone. Have you thought of using it? A camera can help you gather supporting evidence.
- Make a note of the time and place, type and colour of the vehicle and registration plate.
- Obtain names and contact details of any witnesses who may be present.
- Telephone 0845-6060606 and ask to be put through to the Traffic Office of the division where the incident happened. If no-one answers, ask for the help desk of that division and leave a message for the traffic officer to ring you back.
- The University's Student Liaison Officer is happy to discuss any bad driving incidents involving cyclists. Her name is Carole Munsey, PC2544. Tel 0113-2053025/ 07789-753400.

Crime Prevention
Look after your bicycle and stay on the right side of the University authorities by following a few basic rules: park your bicycle only in areas designated for bikes (please don't attach to railings etc); have your bicycle security-coded and show the label clearly; use a bike which looks inconspicuous (if you have an expensive or expensive-looking bike, park it away from view in a covered stand); don't skimp on your security budget: purchase a decent heavy-duty D-lock; secure your bicycle frame to the bicycle railing using the D-lock; remove your pump, lights and quick-release components such as wheels; and lock your wheels together with your frame.
See Knowledge-leeds.co.uk - a crime-reduction site run by LUU and supported by various other organisations.
