Top man!
I have to disagree.
The cyclist clearly knew the driver and did a double take when he realised who it was he was cycling past.
It looks like a personal vendetta or a gang related feud.
The cyclist victim of the cowardly hit and run has left the court a free man!
Drinks all round, well done that judge. :-)

When cyclists are involved inconvenient things like facts don't matter to nugents.

A cyclist thug who pulled out a huge 'zombie knife' and began smashing a
car window in a terrifying road rage attack was today spared jail,
sparking fury.
Shocking dashcam footage showed Joshua Gardner, 18, brandishing the
enormous blade on a busy south London road before repeatedly slashing at
the car and threatening its 19-year-old driver, who got out and ran away.
But an Old Bailey judge told Gardner he would only be given a suspended
sentence because he was wielding the knife after a ten-day kidnap ordeal
in which he was held at gunpoint.

QUOTE 2:
The decision sparked fury, with serving Greater Manchester Police
officer 'Sgt K' tweeting that he had been left 'speechless'.

A (two year) suspended sentence for attacking someone (or making the
attempt as best he could) with an offensive weapon like that? Even if
the intended victim *was* a drug dealer who had kidnapped the assailant
on a previous occasion, we don't have capital punishment fordrug-dealing
(though maybe we ought to).
You think John Sainsbury should be executed for selling water, sugar and caffeine to the public?
Which of those things are classified illegal drugs?
