Did the cyclist peremptorily and officiously demand it?

Any such unauthorised request is peremptory and officious.

Read my question again. The answer is either 'yes' or 'no'.
The cyclist's requiring of, or expecting, the name and address (or
other
"contact details" if you insist) of a lorry driver he passed in the
street was automatically peremptory and officious.


There is nothing in the article to say the victim asked the driver
for his details.
Please remember this happened in the UK, not Nugentworld.
If the driver was not asked for his contact details, why was the
cyclist
surprised or exercised about their not having been handed over?

Did he perhaps expect the driver to stop and insist on handing over the
details of his own instigation?

If so, why?

I have no idea

I know.

Well done for admitting you were that incompetent driver. How many more
instances of endangering innocent cyclists do you want to own up to?
C'mon, get it off your chest.

You really are barking up entirely the wrong tree here, Fido.

There is no-one more critical than I am of road-users (*any* road-users)
cutting corners, especially when turning right into a minor road from a
major road.

Even so, it is amusing to see criticism of such behaviour from a
*cyclist*, of all people. Yes, the ones who regard all signage and
street-furniture as meaningless.

And even more amusing to read that the cyclist expected a passing driver
to stop and give a cyclist his identity and address details.
