He's bound to get something for failing to stop after the crash. What's
the betting that he will get nothing for the standard of his driving
before the crash?

He is wanted for "attempted murder", so there must be someone who witnessed him DELIBERATELY driving at the cyclist, rather than merely an accident.

Look up 'punishment pass' on Youtube. Many drivers think they are entitled to use their vehicles as weapons because cyclists were not behaving in the way motorists think cyclists should behave.

I have long advocated these drivers should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder but society classes it as 'just a motoring offence'.

The reason CDBDD was introduced was because juries were unwilling to convict motorists of manslaughter for a motoring offence.
