Hero.
Cyclists are a problem, take up half the road by not sticking to the side and then moan when you over take, twats0 -
If someone lent in my window shouting that I'd hit them, fair game in my opinion0

This is why the country is the way it Is.
So I see a cyclist riding where they shouldn't be on the pavement
I decide to shout out you f#cking prick get off the pavement.
Next minute I'm then wanting them nicked because cyclist has decided to lay me out.
tell the cyclist to grow some0 -
You have an odd grasp of the law. That is common assault, plain and simple. The defence would argue provocation, and that might well come into consideration during sentencing - but that's a pretty violent attack. There's no way that wouldn't result in at least a conviction and probably prison time (maybe suspended, dependent on previous conviction, good character etc)cafcdave123 said:

Doesn't matter what people here think about it but one inescapable fact is that that passenger is going to regret that incident for the rest of his life. That is an extremely violent and unprovoked assault. That cannot be less than 12 months jail and a criminal record.
cyclist chases the driver and confronts him in an aggressive manor, driver just has to say he got out because he thought his window was about to be put through in his face then acted in pre-empted self defence.1 -
The Cyclist was an idiot for being confrontational and if you do that to anyone in London you are running the risk of picking the wrong person to confront.
The driver was wrong to hit him but i can see why he did.1 -

Crush cyclists into a tiny amount of space, park in bus lanes, perform illegal u-turns, stop dead in front of you, ignore stop boxes, cut across without looking in mirrors and then moan when cyclists end up crushed under their wheels, twats4 -
Yeah. You never know who's pwopa nawty in London. You should never confront anyone acting like a prick in case they lay you out.Bedsaddick said:The Cyclist was an idiot for being confrontational and if you do that to anyone in London you are running the risk of picking the wrong person to confront.

Hilarious that, purely because the cyclist cycled 6-700 yards just to get himself parked up. It maters not a jot who was right or wrong in the first place1

Funny, it just dawned on me that two of my brother-in-laws are keen cyclists - and both drive Audis. I'll watch that they don't start beating themselves up :-)0

That’s assuming it goes to court, the cyclist clearly chases the driver looking for a confrontation.
It would not be unknown in these circumstances for the OB to question the driver, take details then issue NFA.
Either way I’m no policeman/lawyer and if you are going to chase someone calling them a fucking prick, don’t be surprised if you get a slap, regardless of who is right/wrong1 -
When I see a cyclist jump a red light (everyday in fact) I step out in front of them. Sure its gonna fricking hurt if they hit me but hopefully they fall off the bike and they get in trouble with the law at the same time. Usually they just shout abuse at me as if it's my fault though.Red_in_SE8 said:When a car edges up beside me in the cycle box at traffic lights I simply walk my bike forward and position myself in front of the car and pull away really slowly when the lights turn green.

If you deliberately step out in front of them, hoping that they will fall off, it IS your fault!O-Randy-Hunt said:

Come again. So when a pedestrian crosses the road when theres a red light and gets hit whether its a cyclist or a motor, its the pedestrians faultChizz said:

I haven't managed to attempt this yet but I would quite like to lift a cyclist clear off their bike in a kind of one armed bear hug if they skip a red light. Would definitely mean they wouldn't do it again. As a pedestrian I feel more at risk from moron cyclists than car drivers.3

I hope the Audi driver wasn't Andy Driver, if so, I don't want him signing for us.0

There are many reasons cyclists don't always stick to the side, myself included. In many cases it's the correct thing to do. Maybe read this and then consider if it's always the cyclist being a twat or rather sometimes youGreenie Junior said:Hero.

"The key for me is that this is a classic example of something cyclists face on an almost daily basis: the mistaken belief by some drivers that bikes should hug the kerb.
We’ve covered this before, and the guidance is very clear. Transport for London’s cycle safety advice sums it up well:
Stay central on narrow roads. Try to ride away from the gutter. If the road is too narrow for vehicles to pass you safely, it might be safer to ride towards the middle of the lane to prevent dangerous overtaking by other vehicles.
There are all sorts of reasons for taking the lane. Often, a cyclist might ride centrally to keep at least a car door’s width from parked vehicles. It might be because there is a central road island coming up and the rider wants to make sure they’re not suddenly pushed into the kerb by an overtaking car. It could be to pass the message to those behind: this is a narrow (or twisty) road, there’s no space to squeeze past, you’re going to have to overtake me as you would a car.
It’s pretty simple stuff, but it’s amazing how many drivers cannot grasp it"3 -
Yeah. I am 13st9 and pretty strong if I do say so myself so reckon I could do it with someone up to 10 stone if I get the right angle. Could be completely wrong though!BIG_ROB said:

Cyclist should have worn a helmet and nutted him!!!0

I think I must be a cockwomble, because I'd have hit him too and the worlds foremost expert on cockwombles (and every other subject I've seen on here) Leroy Ambrose says so.Leroy Ambrose said:The cyclist is a prune for giving it to the driver. The idiot who gets out and lamps him is a prune for thinking he's a big hardman. You're a prune for posting this here with your little Jeremy Clarkson-inspired comment specifically to get a reaction out of people
In all seriousness, other cyclists piss me off as much as drivers a lot of the time. From silly cows without helmets, cycling along at a snail's pace on their basket bikes in central London rush hour and getting upset when artics cut them up, to imbeciles riding like morons seemingly trying to make everyone despise them. That said, the driver is entirely in the wrong for pulling up in the cycle box - just as a huge amount of drivers do in london with absolute impunity every day on my commute. This drives me up the f***ing wall, because it is ridiculously bloody dangerous to do so a lot of the time.
So, in short, they're both cockwombles.1 -

Correct. But neither should pedestrians deliberately cause an accident.Greenie Junior said:No... They shouldnt be jumping a red light.
The cyclist jumping the light is breaking the law. But so is the pedestrian who deliberately knocks him down.1
