My wife witnessed an accident a couple of weeks ago, young lad in his dad's car turned left directly in front of cyclist who was minding his own business
Young lad got out of car and started to remonstrate with him,who at this point was still lying on the road slightly dazed and was making sure all his limbs were still attached etc, saying can't believe you just ran into the back of me, at no point did he ask if he was ok
It was pointed out to said young lad that if he had ran into the back of him how come there's all this damage to the side of your car?
It was also pointed out to him that there is a CCTV camera pointing towards where the accident had just occurred
So what I'm getting to is that,
1, There are a lot of kn@bs out there who really don't care, that guy could have been dead and I don't think it would of bothered the said young man in the slightest so unless you are a fully trained Ninja don't get involved
2, There is CCTV pretty much everywhere that will assist you if you need it

erm...the point of the post was to ASK HOW TO REPORT IT! If you didn't bother to read the thead title, I'm not surprised its "f*cking beyond" you.

As stated, it was to ask how to report it - details were just for context (i.e. type of event). Actually - I had better admit it - I am not that interested in your views on tapping on windows.

The OP didn't ask you whether or not they needed to report the incident. They weren't asking for your opinion. Opinions are arbitary, some useful, some not so. What the OP asked was HOW to report it.
Further to this, using a vehicle to force a cyclist off the road is not a "little skirmish". Would it still be a "little skirmish" in your vaunted opinion if the OP ended up under the wheels of the vehicle? No. You Sir (and I use that term very loosley) are a daffodil amongst roses. Carry on defending bad driving in your Mercedes Estate.....

didn't read anywhere in OP that he was forced off the road...and i don't defend bad driving...the whole event was a bit of silliness and not worth reporting....i think a lot of blokes on here are a bit namby pamby...and have probably never seen an angry man..if they did,they'd probably sh*t themselves to death...including you,SirThe OP didn't ask you whether or not they needed to report the incident.

Just in case you're hard of reading, Sir. Remember to read the question properly, before answering - it's a bit like school.

So you can't read the rest of it? Does your brain freeze after reading the word "wedged"? Here's a little hint; the following words were "off the road"
Your next effort is probably going to be that the driver got out of the car and wedged the OP off the road and didn't use the car like a weapon to assault the OP. Which is just plain silliness on your part if you do so.
