Which all goes to convince me even more that a camera on my crash helmet
is an essential tool that every cyclist should have. Such behaviour by
car drivers should lead, inevitably, to prosecution and a substantial ban.


If there is evidence of the attack being deliberate, jail time should
be involved.


There should be a clear cut pecking order on the roads and pavements.
Pedestrians and animals should be right at the top. Lorries, coaches and
buses should be right at the bottom. It is no excuse for a motorist to
say that they didn't notice a cyclist. They should have been looking
harder and anticipating. But likewise it should work for cyclist who
charge along pavements. This thinking should be enshrined in law, with
the proviso that guilt for motorists should increase by engine size.

By the way, thanks for posting this. I wouldn't have heard of it
otherwise and it gave me that chance to contact this gentleman's wife
and suggest that they ask the police to look through the CCTV of buses
that were times to be in the area at the time. With any luck, your post
will provide the means to lose this killer motorist his mobility and his
liberty.

Well done, Clouseau. Ever thought about applying for a job as a special
agent in the Ministry of The Perfectly Bleedin' Obvious?


Well, it is bleeding obvious to anyone in the know, like the police and
bus drivers. It might just slip past someone who is in shock after being
the victim of a killer motorist and, if they think about it too late,
recording gone. As for the police, they are about as much use as a
chocolate tea pot. They are really going to suggest something that
involves them actually doing some work, aren't they (not)?


Has the cyclist died since the 'crash' ?


No, but with any luck the motorist had a painful heart attack and died.

I take it that you think knocking a cyclist off his bike and possibly
causing him/her serious injury or death is a reasoned response?


if it happened then it is unreasonable. I have noticed that cyclists
are seasoned liars and will even invent crashes and crimes to cover
their own stupidity.


Please expand on this, with a list of cases.

You're very prolific. I've just gone through fifty (or so), and can

there are many thousands, all categorised as to anti-cyclist
inflammatory content, you should be able to get guy chapman to dig them
out for you. One that sticks in my mind was the German that claimed he
was mugged to avoid telling his wife he had ridden into a lamppost while
drunk.

That's one, from which you extrapolate and claim that 'cyclists are
seasoned liars'.

So a black guy robs a corner shop and you'd think it's OK to claim,
'Black guys are thieves'?
