      If he's gonna be punching cars while moving then he shouldn't expect much sympathy from police. They can argue that punching a car while moving can make you lose your balance.

    I drive a lbw van. I “picked up” a cyclist just after I let home today. He was riding quite swiftly, between 20 and 25mph. He seemed to be going the same way as me so I was happy to shadow him as the road was busy. I shadowed him for two miles before I deemed it safe to overtake him, safe being 6ft in my book. He was aware that I was there and probably realised I was holding back because of the length of my van. It cost me probably less than a minute in total lost time but better I lose a minute than lose him a lifetime.

      Of course there are plenty of cyclists that aren't safe about it but then that only leads to trouble if both car and cyclist aren't safe about it. Put your ego to the side mate.

      Definitely not an accident. When you intentionally try and punch a moving vehicle that takes a degree of thought and planning. The resulting loss of balance from doing so and consequently falling of the bike is purely your own making. Anyone knows that a lateral punch will transfer your centre of gravity (not recommended on a bike) Nothing about this is accidental and the injuries and damages incurred are of his own making. The police came to the right conclusion.

This is the old story of coppers sticking together which is a real problem in the police force, its actions like this when the police dont uphold the law and have a biased towards their colleagues that lead to problems. Sometimes huge problems, it was a sticking together mentality that let that Wayne Couzens remain an officer when he should of been dismissed a long time ago.

      Yes. Victim-blaming at its finest on display. I expect she has no road awareness anyway (from what we've already seen, also with all those decals blocking vision through the rear windows. She just has no concern at all for his safety. With that attitude, the Guinness rugby shirt, and obvious lack of driving nous, she ought to have been breathalysed. It is well known that police officers are recruited for low IQ too - just to follow orders unquestioningly. I wonder why she felt it okay to park on double yellows and then conduct a conversation in the road instead of on the pavement.
      Actually, the cyclist was almost as bad but edges slightly ahead on his moral high horse. Whenever there is an accident I believe the accident is meant to be reported immediately to the police for them to attend. And usually it is stipulated on the insurance policy to notify them too. So her refusing to give her details shows contempt for the law no matter what her godforsaken point was she was trying to make. It's because of these types of road users that everyone's insurance premiums go up. She wouldn't have driven like that in a driving test or she'd have failed by major faults. It's time she should have her license revoked and ordered to take a re-test.

      go to specsavers............ Cyclist veered right slightly to punch the car and it was then that he was knocked off. . The cyclist could have moved nearer to pavement once cycle lane ended. The cyclist sped up to race past the car instead of slowing down or move over and not be dumb by risking what could have been a much more horrible chain reaction of accident by other motorists coming up the road. . Now that we pointed out the cyclists faults and options, lets start with one main thing not mentioned... HOW could the car driver have recorded cyclist on impact unless she had phone in hand whilst driving ??? but in reality all she had if there was dashcam would have been the cyclist using the road he was allowed to in front of her and the cam would show her veering over towards the pavement before getting by and being clear of the cyclist. . BOTH did wrong

    I'm extremely confident she is an Ex-Police Officer. It's precisely why no action has been taken against her. I'm sorry to say. That when a Police Officer finds themselves in the wrong. It's often the standard procedure for their colleagues to close ranks and protect them. It's an unwritten code of the profession. Officer's who risk not complying with that code. Risk being alienated from their colleagues.
    The IOPC is also complicit in this unwritten code. And as a body that investigates the conduct of the Police, it's a joke. As there's that's actually very little about it that's independent of the Police. Given that the majority of complaints made to the IOPC are actually investigated by the Professional Standards Departments of the actual Police Forces the complaints are made against. With only very minimal oversight by the IOPC. In other words. It was almost certainly also Cheshire Police who investigated and ruled on his IOPC complaint against Cheshire Police.
    He rightfully succeeded in his insurance claim. Because that's the one part of this whole affair. Over which this Ex-Police Officer and her ex-colleagues at Cheshire Police had no influence or power over.
    He still has an option left available. If he's willing to finance it. He could seek a private prosecution of endangerment and assault against the woman. There's extremely little her ex-colleagues could do to protect her against that. She'd be on her own. As private prosecutions are conducted and decided upon entirely by a Magistrate. I'm not a lawyer. But with the evidence he has. I think he'd stand a good chance of succeeding in a private prosecution.

There is a very powerful unwritten rule within the force where they will go to great lengths to defend their associates, even at the risk of being seen as wrong, or showing bias. This type of behaviour has to stop, in the real world when you make a mistake, regardless of who you are, or have been, we should all be prepared to admit that mistake and make amends.

      Both are actions taken from a position of power, and this is why sociopaths have such a greed for power, and try getting to such a position at any price. To a sociopath, power is the road to always getting what they want. You bet 100% that this "accident" was done on purpose.
      Whenever a sociopath feels that they can hurt another person, whether it is emotionally or physically, regardless of whether the other person ever did anything to them, their secret anger issues come out, and the only reason she needed to deliberately strike the cyclist is the fact that she can. This rage was only aggravated by her sense of entitlement to think that she would have a right to claim the cyclist's place on the broad lane.
      But I have seen enough examples of rage where there wasn't even have a hint of provocation. It happens all too often, and too often it is sold off as "normal" when in fact, it isn't. Sociopathy is a *disorder*, and nobody should need be governed, commanded, or otherwise harassed by a disordered individual.

      Insurance settles all the time. If one side is a bellend company and flat out refuses to pay despite the video proving it was criminal damage and the bellend roadrager deliberately slammed his bike into the car, there's not much your own insurance can do other than go to court, which costs a lot.
      So whenever court costs would outstrip the unfairness of the settlement, they settle.
      And a roadrager scratching one panel on a car like that, isn't very expensive.
      The problem is the police refusing to charge the cyclist with criminal damage, despite it clearly being an intentional crash because he felt his divine right to block the road had been infringed by the driver.
      Also for the cyclist. The next victim he decides to slam into may not be as levelheaded and decide to make some highspeed introductions between the bellend cyclist's head and the pavement to see if that can beat some common sense into him. It's that sort of entitled criminal behaviour how people really get hurt on the road, so the cyclist should be charged to unlearn this behaviour.

I would argue here that the main factor that made him fall off the bike was the punch / aggression that he was determined to show. That’s what actually caused the “accident”. Without that it would have been a “rage incident” with no outcome whatsoever. He caused this “accident” for sure.

      He had an entire bike lane to himself. He was also incorrectly commanding the lane when the bike lane ended. He should have been in the middle, not to the side. Since he was at the side, he was indicating that cars can pass him, which is common practice. Once he noticed the car coming to his right he should have moved over to the left. He had a good two meters of space there which could have easily been reduced to one. Incompetence and narcissism on both ends of the exchange, which is usually the case in scenarios like this. If at least one of them was a decent person with a functioning brain there would have been no issue.

      Also as he said there's no loegal requirement to use painted bucycle gutters anyway. Which is a good thing because they aren't safe and prone to just suddenly disapear without warning anyway.

      Sorry to hear that. Sounds like hell. I used to love cycling but I've been put off by some of the terrible driving I've seen. I reported a close pass with video evidence a couple of years ago but the police must be busy because they haven't got back to me yet.

    He wasn't even holding her back... there was nowhere for her to go. It's incredible to me people, when in their car, feel like they're blameless and somehow allowed it injure other people. This here was a deliberate assault with a deadly weapon and this woman should be banned from driving and in jail.

    • @jonnamechange6854
      @jonnamechange6854 2 года назад

      Nowhere for her to go? How about the whole unused lane to her right? But no. She drove straight at the cyclist just to do him over. I know it would be illegal, but I would have been very tempted to smack her in the mush if I'd been him, especially as she was approaching giving all that claptrap.

    The female driver pushed the cyclist off the road on purpose!
    She had the cyclist in front of her car. Then she moved parallel next to him on the road and pushed him to the side!
    100% intentional. She knew exactly what she was doing with her car during this whole incident.

    • @jasonarthurs3885

      She also timed her assault to take advantage of the ever so slight increase in road width at the intersection; but failed miserably trying to execute the manoeuvre.

      Wasn't even room to get between the bike and the car in front. It was a manoeuvre to nowhere even if she hadn't hit him.
