I'm just curious as to the steps to giving motor vehicle drivers (particularly white dodge pickup 0989-KD) a police warning as to not pull out in front of bicycles.
Is there a way of having the police contact vehicle owners and letting them know what they did? In this case the driver is very well aware of my existence because my shoulder was less than a foot from his rear quarter panel and he was looking at me in his side mirror.
I'm not looking for an arrest, just a 'if we see him, we'll let him know'. Is there a 'bicycle liaison' of sorts?

We don't have a bicycle liaison - Brian, the RCMP member on our board of directors, is not in the traffic division. I suggest that you attend the local RCMP detachment and file a report; they will have no problem tracking down the clown...

I have actually done this before, when I've experience agressive and rude driver's on my bike. I got the plate number and reported it to the police, and they have gone and talked to the person.
