Hackney rider pursued, knocked from bike.

A cyclist is seriously injured in hospital after a hit-and-run following a row with a driver in Stoke Newington.

The 38-year-old rider was involved in an argument with a woman, the driver of a small dark car, in Victorian Grove last Wednesday.

He rode off but was struck by the same car further along the road at the junction with Ormsby Place at around 9.15pm.

The cyclist was taken to an east London hospital where he remains with serious injuries.

Enlighten us

Cyclist shouts at motorist.Motorist doesn't like that.
Motorist uses vehicle to exact "revenge"
Cyclist ends up in hospital.
Work out the moral.

Where does it say there was shouting? You made it up. You have no idea what happened so you make stuff up to make the rider look at fault. It could have been the cyclist saying ""whoah!" for all you know. So, you are exploiting someone who is badly hurt in order to lie about them.

Where does it say there wasn't shouting.Are you making things up now?

 

[glenn forger]

You stated that the cyclist shouted. You are lying about someone who's seriously injured. Why?

There was certainly an argument.

Must employ a proof reader before i post on here to satisfy the pedants on this board.Generally if two people have an argument there will be raised voices.Am i wrong?

Exploiting an injured cyclist

 

[glenn forger]

You have no idea. You don't know what happened. You were so anxious to blame the cyclist you made stuff up. Someone's in hospital and you're using their injuries to make stuff up to blame cyclists. It's odd behaviour.

Better that than lying in a hospital bed.

Very odd indeed.

[QUOTE 4160143, member: 45"]I've had plenty of conversations with drivers where they've understood what I've said and shown remorse. So I should stop doing that? That's tantamount to bullying by proxy.[/QUOTE]
Carry on mate.

Carry on mate.

You've just contradicted yourself.


If a driver nearly hurts you, is it acceptable to shout anything for fear of being blamed for escalating?
