hello
not a cyclist, but i hope the cyclist concerned sees this- is the first site that came up on google for 'Bristol cycling forum'
anyway, here goes-
approx 520pm in slow moving traffic on road between Airbus and Southmead Hospital, Bristol. Guy on a bike, lots of orange clothing and backpack, nearly sideswiped by Black Golf, biker takes evasive action and manages to stop, has words with driver about his being on the phoen and not looking, points out that it's illegal; rides on a few yards. Guy in Golf then drives AT the biker, at speed, only just missing him, has a shout and gets out of his car; biker wisely hightails it on pavement and rides off to avoid injury
me: ?
i was in the car behind, and i now have a photo showing the offending car, the registration number and the *missing wing mirror* (which is part of why he didn't see the biker i guess. arse)
happy to be a witness, this started as very bad driving and then became attempted assault. Am hoping the biker concerned will tell their friends and someone will maybe see this
cheers
Dave
