eh! yes the driver beeped, but so what, the cyclist caused the road rage by following and ranting at the driver, the car had no issues with the other biker, so suggest this guy was all over the road before the vis starts, stupid biker caused his own problem
Good result in the end but perhaps should have been charged with assault. He knew the cyclist was there, twice tried to have him off, succeeding on the second attempt, stopping for no reason with a clear road in front of him, boxing the cyclist in and using the door mirror to 'hook' him off.
Definitely intentional, more than just careless driving, although that is easier to prove at court.
Hope he gets stuffed by his insurance company.
In behalf of all poles I can prove that he wasn't a polish man, he is just GYPSY MAN from Poland. Many of them have emigrated to the UK from Poland as we hate them in Poland too.
If you are polish or have polish friends - ask about his accent - it wasn't "pure" polish accent - it is "polish gypsy" accent.
Generally an everyday occurrence, not worth getting that angry about. Looked like the d'n'b driver wanted to take an opportunity to make a little progress (i.e., about 3 metres) but is massively angry that it didn't work out. Any "merge in turn" design results in this.
Hate to defend BMW tosspots but you were ready to recklessly aim for the gap (regardless of your right to filter) just as eagerly as the BMW. Both of you made rash moves. I think you should have read the situation better. Given that you were on BMW's tail for ages he should have been aware of your general presence, though I can see how he could be taken by surprise that you were by his side. Whether he was aware of the collision - not so easy to determine.
Bloddy gypsy get lost...
His driving license should be taken of from him straight away. If he's to angry to drive a car perhaps scooter is an option....
Ulter scum...
