Theoretically, you can use Sensibel (https://map.sensibel.org/) to record these things. In practice, it does not work for me. The little gadget does not work with my phone, and the website never loads after signing up.

Thanks LennyBoy, do you know why the CHIRP system was stopped? I think it would be a useful tool to ascertain how many cycle/vehicle related accidents there are per day and where these are happening. I was hit by a car (in a cyclelane) 3 weeks ago. I was in a state of shock did’nt get the guys number/name even though he got mine and never heard back again. The ambo crew told me I was the 4th cyclist of the day. This morning along Memorial Ave (the valley of death for cyclists) I saw another poor bugger, who had just been hiy by a motorist, being helped into the ambulance.
We really need a system where we can log these incidents so we can build a statistical picture of what is going on out there.

In reply to Alice. I don't actually know, although I'm pretty sure it's not Christchurch...

I have reported unsafe driving a number of times. I have never received a confirmation that the driver was warned. I have twice reported threatening and wreckless driving to the police to press charges, both times police refused to do anything about it. I should add that as part of my legal clerkship, I have prosecuted drivers in other jurisdictions in court.
