Anyone know this idiot motorcyclist?

[Profpointy]

Now there is a question. If he still thinks it was his fault .. Can the Biker be prosecuted if there is no complaint?

In theory, yes. A crime is committed against the state (against the Queen in fact) not against the victim , even for murder. And dangerous driving does not even need a victim. Whether the police would bother if the victim does not press charges is another matter. There was a notorious case a few years back where someone was successfully prosecuted for assault following some sado-massochistic session, even the the "victim" was perfectly happy with what had been done to him

Thanks. Well explained.

Wasn’t there one on here a few months back? City center, wagon goes down a left turn lane, straight across a cycle lane, which went straight on and had a cyclist on it? From what I remember the lass who nearly went under was a colleague of someone else on here?
She wasn’t aware of the footage. Ended with a prosecution

Can't get it onto twitter which is a shame.

I've got it on my twitter account. @martint235

Got to love his friend sticking up for his here
"... I've watched a few of his other videos and this is the first real act of aggression I've really seen. And it's not hard to do, get cut off a couple times by motorist on a cell an you're not in you're normal frame of mind see a cyclist on a cell and you try to buzz him. I don't think he was trying to injure anyone so cut him some slack. Cause trying to hang phantomfighter and judge him as a bad guy while in you're normal frame of mind behind a computer is way worse in my opinion."
Yes, calling someone names is much worse than knocking off a cyclist.

I don't use my twitter account much, but I have retweeted.

Good grief, the stupidity just gets stupider.

The 'new' members on there who have joined to have a go are somewhat over the top imo. That's not going to help matters.

Yeah, it was a colleague of mine - gaz followed it through. For whatever her reasoning, she didn't want to follow it up (and I wasn't going to force her to!)

Ber....limey that was some of the best reactive cycling I've ever seen from her.

Probably but he's getting as much abuse on pistonheads from motorcyclists who aren't cyclists who've just joined to have a go at him.

Discussed from near the end of page 64:

I went to court for that and can completely understand her not wanting to take it further. That was one hell of an experience.

didn't the police woman stop the motorbike at the time before deciding to tell the victim off instead

Different case, I was replying to jarlrmai who was describing a different incident.
