Hit and Run2018-12-26 23:31:33
Just before Christmas this guy decided to pull in front of my parked car to let on-coming traffic through, good on them, but on pulling back out, they've hit the front driver side of my car and scratched the height of my front bumper and some of my wheel arch, and then they've driven off without so much as a note. Unfortunately for them it was witnessed and the witness did leave me a note with the number plate and they're contact details.

Complete dickhead, weaving between lanes on a very busy M1. Pulling into spaces that weren't big enough then braking. And all so you could get to the sales at sales at Meadowhall?

This car pulled out of Bacon Street to cross Brick Lane without stopping to check for oncoming traffic.
I was cycling north along Brick Lane, my bike skidded and hit the car sideways.
The driver apologised but drove off without checking if I was ok or exchanging details.

Hit and (deliberatively) run incident with a hit cyclist on the floor2018-12-02 15:53:00
Hit and (deliberatively) run incident with a hit cyclist on the floor
A cyclist was riding a bike on Belgrave St towards South and when inside the roundabout in the Belgrave St/Troon St junction a car coming from the cyclist left (Troon St) approached the roundabout and ignored the cyclist priority (as he was already inside the roundabout) and entered the roundabout.
The driver did not slow down nor try to stop the car. The cyclist speed was slow at that point and he could react speeding up and pushing his body forward to leave the roundabout as soon as possible to avoid a clash. This avoided a major incident but couldn´t prevent the car hitting the back wheel of the cyclist, which it was completely bended. The impact made him lose his balance but he could manage to land in both feet.
Then the cyclist looked back into the driver, who was turning right (Northbound in Belgrave Street). There was a clear eye contact with both the driver and the passenger (co-pilot), the cyclist yelled at them asking for attention and showed the damaged bike but he accelerated to flee the scene and left the cyclist on his own.
A nearby witness asked the cyclist then if he was OK. The witness details were passed to the Police, who is investigating the incident.
The driver failed to stop despite looking at the cyclist on the floor, the bended bike and rushed out to fled the scene instead

A driver of this cab (I believe he is not the owner) did this to me in April 2018, and as a result got convicted in court. £280 fine, £115 costs, and 5 penalty points. Many thousands of cyclists run video cameras and will actively YouTube and prosecute bad driving like this, often reporting to police+employer.
