Love that Clarkson fella all cyclists should get a twating everytime they jump a red light. id throw more punches than that David Hay tart everynight on my way to pick my Mrs up from work.
I am curious as to whether the cyclist did do something before the camera starts rolling. I suspect the driver is just a tosser but cyclists can really be their own worst enemy at times too.
Something clearly happened beforehand (as everyone has their phone out and obviously someone has been quick enough to record it). The driver is obviously a dickhead but i'd like to know what kickstarted the whole thing.
I couldn't give a shit what kickstarted it. Lord alone knows a lot of cyclists are a pain in the arse, and plenty of drivers are too. What gets my goat about this is that the driver is clearly an utter c***, gets out of his car mobbed up with all his mates, swings a girly slap at the cyclist and then ponces off like Danny Dyer. From the evidence shown in the video, the cyclist could have smashed his wing mirror, punched his mate in the face and shagged his mum - my sympathies would still lie with him.

the fact that someone had a camera rolling must say something.
I had a guy stop his car and block 2 lanes of traffic to get out and square up to me the other day, this was after I complained when he nearly drove into me, he was short and fat and totally unthreatening, so much so that I laughed at him. In my shoes and clips I would have been over like Bamby on ice.
Something clearly happened before, The road is clear in front of the bus and the bus is starting to move off are stopping, before stopping again. Also the traffic has build up behind the group cycling and is clear before.
I am sure that the group cycling didn't let this car past when it wanted past. I said in an earlier post the number of times I had drivers of cars giving me all kinds of hell because wouldn't pull of the road to let them pass when on smaller roads. The fact that I used to be being the speed limit most of the time didn't seem to matter.
c#*t's.
That said I do not want to turn this into some kind of them and us. Most drivers these days do give room and pass when safe. And more and more cyclists will pull over/slow down to let traffic past in moving traffic when space is lacking. Common scene.
I can't believe that the police cannot take any action against the owner of the vehicle. He will know who's driving it and if he fails to co-operate then he should be charged with perverting the course of justice. Think he'd soon bubble his mate to get himself off the hook.
Nah I dunno who it was, I left my car unlocked with my keys in the ignition
Could you say that to a policeman with a straight face
If you are saying your car was stolen and you are lying, that's a serious offence.
It's interesting that the excuse of "I didn't know who was driving" would NOT work if you'd been caught on a speeding camera - I find it strange that the police didn't seem interested in this until it started appearing all over the media. Maybe the difference is they are getting money from speeding fines, whereas assault is a lot of hassle?

B Village went down hill once they closed Trax.

Fantastically crap punch, surname probably 'Haye'.
