famous cyclist runs into back of car.

Matthew's speculation is not totally without substance.

Apart from the fact that there's no mention of the car overtaking him before the accident or no evidence that the car cut him up, or that the driver said to the passenger (if there was one) 'watch this!'
Other than that your right.

Lets wait for the full story before taking car driver to kangaroo court,from his tweets he is feeling sorry for himself

Just to be impartial.

Just to be impartial.

What ! The car driver's tweeting about it as well ?

From what i heard, the car driver was Benito Mussolini grand daughters best friends auntys Grandma, who still blames a pilot from the Isle of Man for bombing their Italian Chippy during the war (heard it from a mate who was talking to a taxi drivers daughter in law) thats why she spent 60 years driving round Italy looking for an Isle of Manion to slam her brakes on in front of.

That sounds highly likely and is utterly typical of the underhand, corrupt and spiteful mentality one comes across so frequently in so-called "Italy".

They are the worst in the World for exaggerating everything (and I mean everything).

They are also the worst at holding onto a grudge. That chip shop was bombed seventy years ago! And let's not forget who invaded whom 2,000 years ago. Some of have long memories, Julius.

It is qute clear to me that it was the car driver who was at fault. Have you seen that lot driving?

Utterly, utterly shocking and yet just what one expects.

I think is is a back lash from the Roman Empire , after all what did the Romans ever do for us

I was too close to a car that braked once. Nearly hit it.
Unfortunately twitter didn't exist then so no-one knew about it until now.

Yup, had to brake hard after this taxi overtook me in heavy rain Saturday then had to slow suddenly for a bend that I could have got round much quicker. I was able to explain the problem to him about 50 metres further on when he was in the next traffic jam.

Half an hour later a people carrier overtook me, stuck the left flasher on and started to brake. Maintaining my speed this time I overtook them well before the turn but I might have had to brake hard for that one too.

I think the problem is that drivers expect cyclists to be going a certain speed and if you go a bit faster some of them have difficulties with the concept. I shall stick to my slower bike in town once I get the lights fitted up.
