Confrontation with a Driver [Video]

[crazyjoe101]

I've decided to upload this video after the opinions and advice I recieved in this thread here on CC.

Be sure when you post the video here to @ in the usual suspects so you can get told what you did wrong and have your sexuality questioned, wouldn't want to miss out on that.

I'll let you @ them as I don't know who they are.



I reported this via 101 (non emergency police number) on the same day resulting in an arrest two days later with a caution for causing Fear or Provocation of Violence as defined by section 4 of the Public Order Act 1986.
The reason I decided to stop is that after he braked hard like that to talk to me again I didn't think it was a good idea to be cycling in front if him; as you can see at that point I tried to end the whole silly argument.

Glad you're ok, hope the driver learns to control his anger before he kills someone.

I hope you've reported this to the Police.

This is a video for the police and CPS to deal with, not CycleChat.

Stright to the police.

Thats well hall, not far from where Steven Lawrence was murdered all those years ago or Eltham for those that dont know it. Personally I find the area round there pretty congested the best of times. Leave them to get on with it. From experience you get no where with confronting dickheads like that. The law doesnt care, and they certainly dont. Can understand your frustration, sometimes its better to walk away.

will teach me to read all thread first well done mate ignore post above apologies for me being idiot

Good call not moving in front of him, he would have rammed you and called it an accident.

edit : just read the other thread's OP

I have footage of an incident in which me and a driver have a short argument before they drive 'at' me and 'speed off'. Long story short they get arrested and cautioned for causing fear or provocation of violence.

Phone that in to T'Dibble. S4a POA, possibly S4 offences, not to mention any driving ones with those antics. Glad you're ok.

One of the advantages of being a large gentleman is that they people by and large tend not to do that to me.

A Caution means he admitted the offence, but when he says "You were too far out" he's admitting that he drove at you in his tremendous rush to, er, stop in the middle of the road and bellow obscenities.

Stupid

to do it in front of witnesses as well

READ THE ORIGINAL THREAD!!!
@crazyjoe101 posted about this a few months ago, and even linked to it in the OP.
It has been reported to the Police. The driver was arrested and cautioned.

 

[glenn forger]

I reckon you should report it to the police.

Well done for controlling yourself - not sure I would have remained so calm

Just hope he has learned (but suspect not sadly)
