Man nearly down (and out)

Hope they follow it up.

You'll struggle to call it an RTC, stick with the dangerous driving.

Your issue is, there are no independent witnesses, so it's unlikely to ever see the inside of a court room... But the driver still needs to be told the error of his ways.

Curious how, of all the people on this forum, the one who most commonly advocates criminal behaviour or sees it as a reasonable solution to a problem is a policeman. You really do seem to have a very unpleasant mind. I hope in real life you actually a nice person.

Do you not do humour...? You know, like when you're in a pub with a group of mates and they all laugh at something, do you find yourself tutting and thinking, that's not funny, that could have serious implications...?

I hope not, because then you'd be really dull.... :roll:

TBH I also thought your post was out of order, Colin. I probably am one of those people who doesn't always laugh at something because sometimes things do have serious implications, like when people are accused of being sex pests and end up being beaten to death by some gang of vigilantes. Just because they find it funny doesn't mean I do. If that makes me dull then fine. I'd rather be dull than an @rsehole.

You suggested, jokingly or not, to make something seedy up about a driver who had done something thoughtless. The recent press about the grooming cases in Rochdale, Rotherham and Oxford, the Saville abuse, and the Stephen Lawrence case all point to the police lying, taking bribes, not believing witnesses, or protecting vulnerable people - do you really wonder why people just don't respect you or the job you do? Your suggestion marks you out as no different to your lying, bent, racist colleagues.

Hey, this thread isn't about me.... Unless you have an input for the OP, go and start your own.

I would say something like "hope you've learned your lesson, don't give them room to overtake you, ride primary" etc...

It reads to me as if that's exactly what the OP was doing, but the driver decided to go for it anyway

Indeed, occasionally get them alongside when I'm keeping pace with the traffic then they pull across to push me into the kerb. A particular twunt in an Audi A4 with a private plate with 666 in it did this recently, and also tried to kill me on a previous occasion. I noticed his car parked outside his house the other day, not sensible to act like that with such a distinctive plate.

That bloody Stevo eh?

Well it is a collision in the eyes of the law....case law has held that a pedestrian putting their hands on a bonnet to steady themselves is a collision for the purposes of the relevant act.

Not sure what you mean anyway, there is no offence of an 'RTC', contact occurred, he should have stopped, despite the fact he genuinely came close to causing very serious injury, or worse, I doubt it would go to more than DWDCA anyway.

Someone that knows me. That explains it, I thought he was more determined to kill me than most.

Actually someone on this forum who works for one of your competitors own an Audi Luckily he's usually not in a fit state to drive :P

I think the brain dead often register what they are behind and feel the need to overtake. It doesnt quite register that the bike is actually going as fast as they are... I get this loads of times in my i10 which looks like a slow granny car. They just have to overtake (often audis) and are then stucjk one car ahead for the rest of the journey. Makes no sense to me...

Mr Sharky

Yikes - sounds bloody terrifying! Glad you made it out alive.

Any mileage in contacting the bus company for CCTV from their cab.... presumably if the cretin drives like that they'll have overtaken the bus at some point, probably close and fast, only to end up not too far in front of it when the bus starts moving again after stopping. Surely details of the route and time should be enough for them to be able to find out which bus it was (maybe you even noted the number of the bus, or at least the company operating it?).

Hope something comes of it... like them crushing the car and taking away the driver's license. sadly, I expect it won't. :-(

Hybrid? - wash your mouth out with soap

The Evo went years ago, but I still have good memories of my petrol head days 8)

Rookie, any update from Five-O...?


I really hope so, just to restore my faith in the system. :oops:

I got an incident number and was told it was passed to the traffic intelligence team who would try and find a vehicle match and/or similar reports. I've not heard anything more from them, the fact there was no damage or injury seems to push it down the priority list, I guess if i'd let him kill me it would have been taken more seriously, saving grace I guess is that it was me he did it to not someone who perhaps wouldn't have been fit/able enough to save themselves.

I am now overseas for a week on business but plan to stake out the road when I get back to see if I can get a full VRM.

At least it was probably good practice for cycling in India!

The Rookie

Cycling in India is mostly safer than in the UK on the road to be honest, speeds are much lower and once you take the primary they respect it, also with horn use rife you'll get a little toot before they pass you, my nearest misses have been cars cutting hairpins coming the other way!
