The footage was submitted by the cyclist to the force’s Operation Snap portal for driving offences. The earlier close pass committed by the driver, which was not included in the police’s abridged social media post, resulted in the motorist being offered to take a driver retraining course. According to West Yorkshire Police’s post, the unnamed cyclist “uploaded a video showing a car passing too close to his pedal cycle to our Op Snap portal”. It would not be appropriate to release the ‘close pass’ footage,” the spokesperson said. West Yorkshire Police disagreed with the cyclist’s assessment that it was “a cut-and-dried example of careless driving”, officers suggesting that “no crime had been committed”.
