Driver tells cyclist he can drive safely while using his phone thencrashes into car in front
 

Justice can be swift. This driver who was allegedly on his mobile phone
learned just how swift when he crashed into a car. Just moments earlier
he had been in an argument with cyclist Dr Dave Brennan who recorded the
entire episode on his helmet camera. He remonstrated with the motorist –
who risks three points on his licence as well as a fine – telling him to
put his phone down near Glasgow.

But the man in the Mercedes insists it’s okay because he could drive
safely while using his mobile phone. He then drove off but Dr Brennan
was able to keep up with him because of queuing traffic. Dr Brennan told
the Scotsman newspaper: ‘He’d complained I was previously cycling along
at 3mph, so I smiled and waved as I went past, pointing out the fact he
was the one now doing 3mph.’
‘He then proceeded to accelerate forward as the traffic ahead of him
stopped and he crashed into the car in front.’ It is not known if the
driver had put his phone down. Dr Brennan offered the footage to the
driver of the vehicle that was hit but they said they would settle it
between them.
