Although the driver overtook a little close IMHO (as a former keen cyclist) it wasn't close enough for the cyclist to attempt to challenge the driver.
This cyclist seems to be looking for his 15mins of fame and it's celebrated with a glass of piss.
Don't try so hard cyclist you'll get the viral video soon but if you continue like this it'll probably be where you do get thumped
Whenever I have a hire or courtesy car I have to give them my driving licence and normally am the only person allowed to drive it. They photocopy this and check the vehicle before and after I have driven it for the smallest scratch. Sounds like some sort of Jimmy saville sort of character who is above the law. They know who was supposed to be driving and if not they were probably driving with no insurance.
So does this set a precedent, whereby the Police make a formal request for the driver details, and we have the right to ignore such a request?
Imagine being caught speeding by a camera, and disregarding the formal notice issued by the local Constabulary. You might get fined for not supplying the requested information, but you'd then escape the points on your license.
Maybe the CPS should look in to this issue before it becomes commonplace to use this method to escape the penalty associated with breaking the law.
Any progress on the case? Has the driver wanted in connection with this incident come forward? Someone must know who they are.. do the right thing. It could be you or a member of your family they ran over. There is no excuse for what they did. They have to come forward.
Can we name and shame the useless police officers that were put in charge of this case?
Maybe some disciplinary action because if I did my job like that I would be out on the streets in no time........Useless police = full doughnut shops!!!
What worries me so much is that 25 members of the public who have visited this page have rated the driver a thumbs up for good driving. Do we really have people out there that support this type of driving aimed at cyclists? No wonder there are many dangerous drivers on the roads who will be prepared to use their vehicle as a lethal weapon
Just another ex BMW driver. Walk down the side of it and bust off the mirror. Sorted
