cyclist hit and run

Thats scary!! Should be locked up if you read the attached story. The guys face/head brakes the windscreen. The driver drove off after almost killing the poor guy!!
 
Ouch, never worn a bike helmit in my life. I'd be dead. Makes you think. Unless the car was nicked, then the driver is bang to rights.

Edit: False plates so guess it was nicked.
 
Nasty and the car even had false plates too :cry:

Watched it back frame by frame. Looks like a Bloke in a striped T shirt driving. Derseves much prison food for that one. :thumbsdown:
 
Someone has a grudge against cyclists for sure. Glad the cyclist is okay. Hope the other fella is found and sent away for a long time. Terrifying that that sort of thing could ever happen
 
I don't think the car is maliciously veering to knock him off his bike, is he not indicating to turn into the kwik fit garage? No excuses for not paying attention to other road users though and certainly none for leaving the poor guy for dead. Shocking
 
A few months ago my wife's colleague was hit from behind and left on the road side by some druggie scum , unfortunately he died 2 days later but the road was monitored by cameras and they managed to track him down , he denied it and said he had hit some bins to cause the damage to his car .
Some people have no conscious whatsoever and really don't give a s**t about anything but themselves .
 
Nasty :(

My sister got knocked off her bike (on the way to run a half marathon!) by a taxi driver, who was bang to rights. She injured her leg and now can't run properly anymore, so she's switched to cycling full time. Her boyfriend recently just got knocked off his bike and broke his hand :(

Stuff like this is why I'll never cycle on the road if I can possibly avoid it!

agreed, I'll stick to cycling in forests and on trails
 
The moronic comments posted after the youtube clip are nearly as shocking as the assault on the cyclist. :(
 
The number plate that is given under clip is showing as taxed on the new DVLA RFL checker! Surely its only a matter of time before the police knock on someones door.
