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
Ah, reading the other posts i see the Police's 'difficulty' was this car was hired. The law should transfer the responsibility to the owner in the case where the driver could not be identified. This needs to be a director of the company where the car is owned by a hire company. There should be no circumstances where there is a 'gap'.
What's going on? We are trying to help the environment by commuting by bicycle. Drivers like this should be banned for life. I wish this had happened in Africa because justice would be done on our hands if the police wouldn't act
I do not understand how there was no prosecution for this. What more evidence is necessary? Their names should be made public through the legal case. Both owners should be banned indefinitely if neither accepts responsibility.
how can the police not prove who was behind the wheel surely the person who hired the vehicle would know, try doing some good old fashioned police investigation im sure local cctv cell phone location would be key to solving this.
if it was a policeman knocked over heaven and high water would have been moved, but what does it matter we are third class citizens
again disgusting. the driver got off on a technicality because it is a rented car. Therefore Rented or shared use cars should immediately be fitted with driver cams recording to a secure memory. we need to make this happen. This wasn't an accident it was attempted murder.
Poor decision by the CPS not to pursue. Hopefully this mark will remain on the individual prosecutor's career record.
If they really wanted, they could have put together a reasonable case based on phone records, witness statements and CCTV footage.
As regards the driver, what a waste of 52 years inhaling and exhaling.
He or She is a bastard; that could have been someones son or daughter and they may have seen killed or maimed! We must prosecute this evil. If they should get run over and your car is driven by more than one person you'll get away with it!!!
This could of been manslaughter, the Police should track all the suspected drivers phone records to determine who was in the Mobile phone cell at the time. They should of charge the registered drivers with withholding evidence of crime and send them to prison until they own up
Can someone talented not edit that video and try and see the silhouette of the driver/passenger?
They can't prove the driver because both the man and woman are not admitting to who it was - but it has to be one of two people right? It's a shame the video didn't capture who was driving
