Camera is wide angle so it will make things seem further away than they really are, hence the 'shit reaction times' aren't that shit. Either way the van driver is another piece of third world Birmingham scum that needs dumping at the bottom of the ocean with the rest of them.
Unfortunately there's no shortage of drivers like this in Birmingham, and the surrounding areas. But what do you expect when so many people can literally Photoshop their driving paperwork, including overseas? In many countries it's as easy as buying petrol. And yes, it is relevant because a significant proportion of the population comes from overseas, and also has foreign-born children. Ever driven through Smethwick.. Handsworth.. Northwood? Shit driver galore. But hey there's no doubting we are multi-cultural: we have EVERY shade of crap risking lives on our roads..
Van driver clearly in the wrong but it did seem like the car driver was putting himself, his girlfriend and other road users in danger by chasing after the van. I understand the need to get his registration number but there was every chance that it could have made things so much worse with some of the risks taken to keep after him. Shock, anger, red mist, we've all been there and I probably would have had the same reaction, but still.
Critical Mass are a lot of moronic braindead dickless fucktards. It's just a shame the officer didn't take the cyclist down with the bike.
