A cyclist fractured a driver’s eye socket in a bout of road rage - not
realising his victim was an off-duty policeman, a court heard. Gareth
Pitt, 53, punched Paul Wiltshire, who was dressed in jeans and a T-shirt
at the time, as the pair argued on the pavement, it was said. A jury
heard how PC Wiltshire needed surgery to his fractured left eye socket,
which gave him double vision for months after the incident.


It's no surprise that cyclists are permanently angry, given their
pathetic form of transport.
