| 610 | Cycling to work, and was dangerously close overtaken by a white Mitsubishi Fuso truck (rego LLY112), with McLatchie & Sharp drainage and civil contractors signwitten on front. Driver drifted in and out of the cycle lane, very distracted. I have cycle safety cameras, and in the camera the driver is very clearly visible talking on a cellphone in his right hand while driving. I have saved the footage, available for the police if evidence is needed. This is very dangerous behaviour, I or another cyclist could have been killed this morning by this supposedly professional driver. |

| 619 | Aged person walked straight into glass-walled bus stop, which has no edge warning tape and sticks out into the footpath. Ideally this could have some visible marking on the glass to reduce other sight-impaired or distracted pedestrians colliding with it. | -41.293455010271, 174.77643634416 | Pedestrian | ||
| 620 | I took off at the intersection by the hospital going south. I was in the new cycle path and took off when the light went green, at the same time as the #23 bus. Usually a merge is quite smooth with cars but because a bus is so much longer and the bike in front of me was slow I got caught behind the cyclist and between the bus and the parked cars in front of Newtown school. I tried to keep riding to get infront of the bus but I don't think he saw me, and perhaps was focusing on the slightly wobbly and slow cyclist in front of me. I stopped cycling because I was being squeezed so much that I could feel the parked car against my left leg and the moving bus sliding past my right leg. It was incredibly scary! the pedestrian who was waiting at the lights in front of Cafe Laz also acknowledged the situation. I would recommend 2 controls to mitigate this issue: 1. Install a bike light at the traffic light to allow cyclists a head start. Because the bike lane turns into a car park space, cyclists have no where to go when the light is green. 2. Remove the car parks in front of Newtown school to extend the bike lane so merging is not required |

| 635 | Riding down great north road in the evening with lights and a fluro backpack cover, a car pulled out from the McDonalds and I had to swerve to avoid. Once the driver was on the other side of the road, I realised someone was turning right but had turned too early so was going diagnolly in the wrong direction across my entry path - two near misses in the space of 20 seconds. Very stressful! | -36.868805778135, 174.7144943743 | Bicycle | Vehicle pulls out or across cyclist | |
| 636 | I was biking West along Karori Road, shortly after the shops. I had taken the road to get around a couple of parked cars. I was over taken safely by one car, then PTD944 completed an unsafe overtaking manouver. Their wing mirror passed within about 20cm of me. Had I swerved slightly, I would have been hit. A van then passed me giving heaps of space. I was well lit with 2 rear lights and three front lights and was wearing a day-glow jacket. As such there is no way that they could not have seen me. This was either lack of awareness of road spacing or a punishment pass for being "on their road" |

| 637 | Vehicle turned off the one way on to water street, driving across bike lane while I was ahead of them. They hit my bike with their car and continued driving. | -45.878899204419, 170.50265812663 | Bicycle | Road user turns across cyclist’s path | |

| 640 | Car coming along Dunbar St towards 1-way South, did not stop at Giveway before cycle lane, and appeared unaware of both Giveway and of cycle lane. I had slowed down as the car appeared to be travelling faster than expected coming up to a Giveway, so was able to emergency stop and avoid impact. Intersection design with minimal road markings is dangerous. |

| 642 | I was cycling behind another cyclist down Chaytor. A car pulled out from Curtis Street into slow moving traffic, almost taking out the other cyclist. I had plenty of time to pull to a halt, but had to wait while they moved out of the bus lane. | -41.284584300359, 174.75356926481 | Bicycle | Vehicle pulls out or across cyclist | |
| 641 | I was cycling up Karori Road from Marsden Village and moved to take the road around the raised entrance to the pedestrian crossing. As I moved out, a driver decided that this was the perfect spot for a close over take - within about 40cm. Rather intimidating. | -41.282833946358, 174.74424236242 | Bicycle | Problematic pass (usually too close) | |
| 643 | I took the road around a bus at a bus stop. A black station wagon decided that this was the ideal place to over take me despite the island in the flush median ahead. Caught between the island and me, the driver decided that the cyclist was the softer target and overtook within about 30cm. | -41.284076936118, 174.73965605979 | Bicycle | Problematic pass (usually too close) | |
| 645 | A car parked outside the dairy blocking the lane to cars and bikes. There used to be a park here so it's understandable. However, it's clearly marked with yellow lines now. This was clearly causing some frustration for drivers and was causing traffic to back up unnecessarily. | -41.278996124959, 174.76897734454 | Bicycle | Cyclist's way blocked (by other road users, road conditions, etc.) | |
| 644 | I was behind a car at the stop sign on The Rigi waiting to turn left onto Glenmore. The car ahead of me pulled right into the path of an oncoming cyclist forcing the cyclist onto the other side of the road. Fortunately there was no cars coming up Glenmore at the time. | -41.285648688313, 174.75866814384 | Bicycle | Road user turns across cyclist’s path | |
| 646 | On 29th January, about 5pm, a car driver cut the corner descending on Ohiro Road, just before the turnoff to Brooklyn Road, forcing me over the curb and off my ebike, resulting in severe bruising on my upper right thigh (where the bike frame fell on my leg) and the loss of a hunk of skin from my right elbow. The driver had passed me a few seconds before, and did not stop after the incident. He had clearly seen me when he drew up alongside me, but appeared unaware of what he did to me. Three drivers waiting on the uphill side of Ohiro Road left their cars to ask me if I was ok, stating that they had seen the whole incident. Unfortunately, I didnt ask them for their details, or whether they had noted the license number of the car. I returned home and was driven to the after hours surgery. My bruise is slowly subsiding, and my elbow is regrowing the skin, with regular changes of bandages. This is a dangerous corner. A pedestrian island has been provided. Descending vehicles are often travelling too fast and will cut the corner to avoid going on the other side of Ohiro road and hitting upcoming traffic. I propose that Council make a safety review of the Brooklyn/Ohiro Raod corner, and consider placing a sign just below the crest of ohiro road on the western side with wording something along the lines - “Slow down, watch for cyclists”. The 30km/hr speed limit close to Brooklyn shops should also be extended until after Brooklyn road is reached. I possibly could have avoided the accident by giving appropriate hand signals and taking the lane for that section of Ohiro road prior to the corner, or slowing right down to let the car get ahead of me when it drew up alongside me. However, this is in hindsight, and there may be some other measures such as I suggested above that will help avoid future accidents. Thus I am requesting that a safety review be carried out of the Ohiro/Brooklyn road intersection. I am also submitting a road watch report with police |

| 647 | This morning while riding my ebike with my two children (aged 9 and 6), I once again had a car accelerate aggressively and go completely on the other side of the road to overtake on Russell Terrace, as they drive to the top of the hill and over the blind summit on the junction with Herald St. It would only take a car driving south and it would either be a terrible head-on crash OR, as I suspect, the overtaking car would veer left to take out me and my kids riding on my bike. I know it's a narrow road, but this is a pretty regular occurrence and it would be a terrible accident if/when someone is coming the other way. Any advice on how to highlight this issue and has anyone else had the same happen to them? Oh and after the car passed me and returned the left lane (well over the hill), they put on their hazards to signify their apparent annoyance at me for.... riding a bike? When we stopped at the lights in Newtown, I pulled up next to their window to explain how dangerous it was to overtake on a blind summit (calmly as had my kids with me!). They refused to look at me and instead took out their phone to attempt to take a photo of me and my two children. Eugh. |

| 648 | I was turning right from Ohiro rd to Tanera Cresc at the top of Brooklyn rd cycleway. I was at a giveway, I stopped, looked carefully for cars up Tanera and coming along Ohiro, there were none so I starting making my way across to Tanera, halfway across a driver in a car coming down Tanera cresc who didn't stop at the stop sign almost hit me. |
