I hate thieving scum but in my mind the risks here are too high. Look how narrow and crowded those streets are..anyone could emerge behind those cars either on foot or in a car, especially children. It's simply too risky.
Why did you have to take that position on the road going through the lights? Keep left! Ample room for you and other vehicles. By taking the centre of the road you are purposefully impeding others and you damn well know it will annoy other road users.....
You got far in your 2 litre Ford didn't you - you must be so impressed with the 180bhp compared to that 0.5bhp (+/-0.5) of the cyclist.
Let us not forget also the failure to comprehend (that means read and understand) road traffic laws/rules
Not going to say your passenger was belligerent because that could be deemed offensive to real belligerent people but his finger pointing technique does show signs that Darwin's theory of evolution hasn't quite made the mark in your passengers ancestral heritage.
Northumbria Police have already said they will not accept dashcam footage at the moment unless its requested by a police officer as witness material.
Persoonally, I think if the footage is clear, showing the offence and the registration plates without obstruction and is unedited, the it should be able to be sent to the police. In this day and age when force numbers are being cut, surely this helps them.
"Clobbered"?!!
Keep us posted!
