So are the plods going to prosecute the driver? Probably not "It was only a cyclist."
GWS.
Not sure. The driver fully admitted to her mistake in her statement. The police told me that they told her that she may be charged with driving without due care and attention (I think) but that was not up to the officer at the scene but the traffic police.
This is probably the opposite to "only a cyclist". If she had made the same mistake with a car, the police would not have been called, and I think there would be about zero percent chance she'd be charged with anything.
Guess she looked at me when I was intending to go into the roundabout without stopping, looked at the roundabout to judge if it was safe to enter and proceeded through the point I should have long been gone from. Yes, a mistake. Yes, her fault. But from my point of view understandable.
I am absolutely sure she is shocked and sorry for what she has done. It wasn't with a disregard for me as a cyclist or lack of awareness of my presence. I am also absolutely sure she will be a better driver from now on. So fine and points, I really don't care.
Sad thing is, she was coming back from the gym. She should have been cycling, but I suspect after what happened, she's even less likely to consider cycling a safe option.
And me: Wednesday I cycled my slightly bent bike to the shop for checks and repairs. They didn't have the right mech hanger in stock, so on Thursday I rode into London to pick one up (30 mile round trip on my folder). So I guess I am ok.
Edit: Form letter arrived from Traffic Prosecutions Service. "here's your incident number... please don't bother us for next two weeks"
