"Crazed cyclist"

It's good to see that you endorse that description.

It seems professional drivers can obtain a special version of dashcam
that automagically erases the embarrassing stuff that happens before the
main event.

So why did the 'victim' not show that part of the video?

Was there any dashcam footage?

I only saw some post-incident still photographs of the damage to the
victim's property, caused by the criminal.

The Daily Mail (or its website) was not the victim. But the Daily Mail
chooses what it wishes to publish on its website, so perhaps that would
be a good place to start your investigation.

As it happens, though, a crazed cyclist complaining of being "impeded"
would probably not be visible to the dashcam of the vehicle he proceeded
to vandalise, would he?

See whether you can work out why that is.

You are unable to deduce from my comments (and Simon's) that events

What is "footage"?

You seem to have rather missed the point (again).

The cyclist's "complaint"is reported to have been that he and his bike
were obstructed by a car. Unless the car had a "rear dashcam", it is
hard to see how even you could convince yourself that footage of the
"obstruction" could exist.

What is "footage"?


It is the term used of video or film sequences. It is a carry-over into
the video world from the days when all moving pictures had to be
captured on chemical film (measured by the foot).

Fancy your pretending not to know that.

Are you talking about the results of:

(a) a traffic accident, or

(b) a deliberate act of criminal damage caused by a cyclist in a fit of
raging pique?

It's reported, huh? OK, so let's see the conditions in front of the

not unknown (at least, it's something just about every cyclist knows)
for drivers to overtake and then cut in and stop.

Please see the Evening Standard for full footage. The "professional chauffeur" failed to make a mandatory left then proceeded to tailgate dangerously close to the cyclist. When the cyclist pulled across to the left hand side of the road the "professional" wound down his left hand window and started verbal abuse while keeping pace with the cyclist.

During the conversation the driver deliberately drifted to the left trying to drive the cyclist into a parked white transit van. This caused a minor knock between the car and cyclist but potentially lethal to the cyclist. Further down the road the chauffeur pushed the cyclist into the kerbside again.. Attempted grievous bodily harm.

The cops will not do anything. Clearly the fact that the driver went straight ahead from a left turn only lane, passed within inches of a cyclist, tries to force the cyclist to crash into a stationary vehicle, verbally an physically assaulted a cyclist was 'Just a Momentary Lapse of Concentration'.

No particular person is being accused. The unknown criminal scarpered.
No charge will be laid (and therefore no bar on case comment will
commence) until he is traced and apprehended (criminal damage is an
arrestable offence).

I suspectthat even if you didn't already know the detail, you had a fair
idea that this is how it works.

Unless you can prove the unlikely proposition that he also had a "dash"
can shooting of the rear screen, it is you who cannot grasp the simple
context: there is no footage of what happened earlier (when the criminal
on the bike later alleged he was being "obstructed").

But that latter is what you were asking for.


Not in the slightest.


Saying that doesn't change what you were asking for (which is evidence
from a dash cam of something alleged to have been happening *behind* the
car.

That evidence is 99% certain not to exist and your asking for it is an
evasion of the issue.

However, later information now fills in the gap. Let's hope that when
the police saw the video they just said diddums.

I hope so too.

But they cannot ignore expensive criminal damage committed by a
criminal. How would you like it if £2000 worth of damage was done to
your property?

And have you dropped the "innocent until proven guilty" bit?

Very wise now that you know how it works (and how it doesn't work).

of the "obstruction" could exist.

It's reported, huh?

Well, the crazed cyclist (which is how he is reported) is reported to
have offered the "justification" for the crime that he had been
obstructed. It's all there, at the same source.

I don't care what was reported.


Especially when it doesn't support what you'd rather believe.

OK, so let's see the conditions in front of the vehicle and any
reason why it was going slowly or stopping. It is also not unknown
(at least, it's something just about every cyclist knows) for drivers
to overtake and then cut in and stop.

You're best asking the publisher for that (if there is anything to
see, that is - what's the betting that the source of the obstruction
was a red traffic light, meaningless to the average London cyclist,
crazed or otherwise?).

So contact the Daily Mail. And do let us all know how you get on.

I merely passed a remark about the lack of material that seems
commonplace when a "professional" driver produces this stuff to have a
winge. Unlike you, and him, I have yet to make a judgement.


How many cars have dash-cams that face the direction of travel, lket

My car has front and rear cams.


Oh well... there's the answer. Jester thinks that 100% of vehicles not
only have a dash-cam but also have a rear-facing camera as well.

This person has a dashcam:-
~ he decided to go public to bleat about something;
~ we only saw edited highlights.


It's amazing how you have so much difficulty grasping very simple
concepts.


Unless you can prove the unlikely proposition that he also had a "dash"
can shooting of the rear screen, it is you who cannot grasp the simple
context: there is no footage of what happened earlier (when the criminal
on the bike later alleged he was being "obstructed").

But that latter is what you were asking for.


Not in the slightest.


Saying that doesn't change what you were asking for (which is evidence
from a dash cam of something alleged to have been happening *behind* the
car.


Quote me.

It's amazing how you have so much difficulty grasping very simple concepts.

That evidence is 99% certain not to exist and your asking for it is an
evasion of the issue.

However, later information now fills in the gap. Let's hope that
when the police saw the video they just said diddums.

About what? The alleged obstruction?


The damage to the driver's pride.


I hope so too.

But they cannot ignore expensive criminal damage committed by a
criminal. How would you like it if £2000 worth of damage was done to
your property?

And have you dropped the "innocent until proven guilty" bit?

Very wise now that you know how it works (and how it doesn't work).


I still don't know how it works. I can't be bothered to ask for another
non-answer.
