Pushy Bristol BMW driver

[Arjimlad]

There is a lively discussion on Bristol Cyclists Facebook page about it. I expect/hope that he will be apprehended one way or another.

So the police conveniently leave off the dangerous driving, driving without due care and a lack of seatbelt. Typical. Not to mention the car is untaxed.

The bit on Twitter I saw said that they weren't going to say much during their investigation. I'd wait to see what happens in the end, first thing is to find him.... Hopefully it won't take long for someone to identify him.
Edit: hopefully it won't take long as it's the short of area where people know each other....

"....., which happened in Wordsworth Road to us at about 9.15pm, .....

9:15am shurely, or Bristol has a real light pollution problem.

Its the Police. They wont do anything.

Cyclists aren't worth the effort.

That's even worse. Superman trimmings with the beating heart of Clark Kent.

200BHP and 0-60 quicker than an old 205 1.9 GTi. Not my cup of tea but they are pretty decent figures.

You would not expect them to list all the offences that he can be charged with. They don't need to say anything more than what they have said.

I am not a big fan of cameras on bikes but it is nice to see one being used for what it was intended. Hopefully, by the publicity of this clip, it will send a message out to other motorists that they could be being filmed.

If they did go with a huge list of possible charges it would be even better publicity.

Bad publicity!!! It would harm the image that cars as effective anti-cyclist weapons that keep you out of jail!

"Possible" charges sounds like a fishing expedition.

They need to speak to him to him to see what charges exist.

I arrested a shop demonstrator for giving away used demonstration sponges in a high street store. What A mean sod I am.

I rear rearrested him later in the day for 2 murders on the South coast.

Who knows what else they can charge the driver with but only after they have had a chat,

I arrested a bloke for selling fire-damaged inflatable women. He turned out to be Hitler. Think on.

That's when it came to police attention not when it happened.

Honestly not the local guy he's great and hopefully they will push through with a prosecution.

The girlfriend looks embarrassed. I bet the bloke's mum will be cross when she finds out! Oh.

I understand all that - but the one thing the video does not show is common assault, so why quote that?

There's always two sides to every story and pictures do lie. He could have just been ensuring that the cyclist , riding too close to his car, didn't damage it.
