Around here I'd say the worst offenders are:


Addison Lee / anything with a minicab sticker on the back

BMWs (entry-level car for the label-dependent; account for at least a third of my near-misses on the bike)

Mothers on the school run (usually in big cars, distracted by their kids and on local journeys so don't pay attention)

Male cyclists who wear all the cycling gear

White vans

Black cabs

Young guys with b@lls tied to the accelerator

Ermm...


You forgot:


Turbo bitch from hell.

You know the one; white vauxhall nova, fluffy toys, steering wheel cover, whitney blasting and all the while cutting you up on the inside/outside/front/back at 50+mph


Any colour/age/shape applies

Disagree with the last part. They are middle aged, blonde and have a really scary look in their eyes.

    • For Plusnet, I pay £31.99 for Full Fibre 500.  (the number is the line speed you have paid for) I have recently recontracted.  Always phone them up, and ask what deal they can do for me.  Usually get a decent reduction.  Sue, I would suggest you call them, especially if you are close to contract renewal.  Sometimes they will change deals mid-contract, as I have found in the past.      
    • The drivers generally have the same set area to cover every day, so they're fairly easy to follow - quite often on bike. They organise their drops to maximise how many they can do within a given time - there's actually software at the depot to do this before they set off - so they tend to follow the same route. Certain addresses are delivery hotspots, some have two or three drops a day from the various couriers. It all adds up doorstep deliveries being incredibly easy to target. I suspect Vladi's neighbour hasn't had their fake parcel nicked, not because of their security, but because the thief simply wouldn't have seen the driver stop there, so there's nothing to steal. The losses are factored in, driving prices up for everyone, and the drivers are treated abysmally. It's a dreadful business. It needs regulating.   Sorry, cross post with Azalea and Alec1
    • Amazon seem to do this more and more now.  They don't even ring the doorbell, just leave them lying on the door step, then you find out it's been delivered when you check tracking.  The official Amazon vans are frequently followed on their routes by thieves and take the opportunities freely given.   
    • Our local delivery driver was followed and had his van stolen.
