I think the words at the end are very apt.......

He is an EX - driving examiner, an EX - driving instructor and an EX - professional driver.

Now we know why he is an "EX" with driving standards like this

The title is a tad hysterical. The scooter was not taken out. There was a mirror strike.

It's been around since March 2012. The police took no action.

Is they any point mulling over what might have been and what should have been done?

[QUOTE 2720782, member: 45"]Police taking no action is no indication of the severity of the incident. Had the rider responded only slightly differently to the driver's actions he would have been off his bike.

A mirror strike is a close scrape, nothing more.

Had the rider set off later the incident wouldn't have happened.

Had the rider chosen a different road the incident wouldn't have happened.

Had the rider been travelling in the opposite direction the incident wouldn't have happened.
 
Whilst I would not advocate lying to the Police........

There is a requirement to report formally if there is an injury.

I met an elderly chap sitting in the road once as he had "hurt his knee" when clipped by a motorist doing a left hook. He did not want an ambulance and was unable to move until the Police arrived.

It also meant the full details had to be taken, statements etc.

A minor injury can be useful in these cases

This video has been shown on here before. He used to work for me when I worked near Hull about 5-6 years ago. He is an interesting character and the video episode is not out of character.

It's history and has no value here.
