'brushed'. Indeed

A few years ago I took part in the Great north cycle ride (when it started in gateshead). While out on the route a very impatient car driver was trying to barge through a group of around 50 cyclists, as he approached me all I could hear was the banging of fists and shoes hitting his car. Must have had a hefty repair bill, served the tosser right!

Do you actually beleive that this was the right thing to do??????

I must admit I would have been tempted.

No. The driver should hve been more patient, and waited for a safe opportunity to overtake.

So cars 'brush' us, and we 'cause criminal damage' to them?

It's all in the language.

"Large’s licence will be endorsed with eight penalty points to add to his existing six which led to a six month driving ban. "

His existing six points...

Surprise surprise. Lets face it no one buys an Audi TT with the intention of driving around at 30mph in it

I think you need to remember that if a car hits us the driver will walk away, the cyclist may not. There needs to be a complete culture change towards cyclists in this country. I dont know of another country in western europe where cyclists are virtually forced of the road.

Worcester used to have a critical mass every week but it stopped after a few months as these things often do, might be time for another one.
This driver should have been jailed for dangerous driving or intent to kill....

They were as bad as each other. My reading of it is that the cyclist admitted to kicking the car after the initial contact. Surely he should have been made to pay for that repair.

 

[semislickstick]

....and the driver pay for buckled wheel and injuries to the rider?

Clearly it wasn't the right thing to do. However, if the driver had obeyed the highway code, it wouldn't have been a possible thing to do.
