Everyone ignore Sid James. They are the resident troll here and have possibly been banned before from this, and other, sites, for their abusive campaign. Thank you for the time.
The pedestrians who walk out into a road/cycle lane without looking? Had this been a car in the place of the cyclist, I bet you would be complaining about the pedestrians not looking but because it's a bicycle, it must be the cyclists fault.
I agree with Pete to the extent that you have to show restraint if you expect it to go to the police. If it's name-calling in ear-shot of the other person, it will in lots of cases work against you even if you are acting under duress. In fact, your typical asshole WANTS you to act that way because they can try to use it to get themselves off the hook..forget MY driving, HE abused me so I defended myself blah blah.
Don't give a raging idiot ammunition. Instead give their ego a rope to hang itself.
Why oh why do you call that arse ole a dick head you've got the video proof and thats all you need so why create a bigger issue that could contribute to a seperate incident so who's the dick head!
This is why I always slow down and stop if I have to. Not just to be courteous but also to also make it much harder for your average asshole to try and justify the reason for crashing into you..
Shall I bother?!
