Just been assaulted!

[summerdays]

An update after being interviewed by the police:

It seems the driver is well known, having just been released from prison

My report's been logged, I've asked for it to go to court since they could do far worse to someone else. Also, I'm OK this morning, apart from a stiff neck on the side he hit me on.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

Only just seen the whole thread. Hope you are now feeling on the mend and quickly get over the memories.

Glad you've had a result!!

Helmet saved you from worse injury I bet

Absolutely whenever I get smacked in the face by an peanut I am always glad of a lump of polystyrene on my head

Glad to hear you are ok DCLane there are some right knobs out there had my far share of some of them myself.

Nasty one David. Glad you are ok and it wasn't worse.

I've been smaked in the face by a fist but never an peanut...where do you cycle?

Seems like an extreme way to brown nose

Drafting gone wrong...

Seriously though (and I've just realised I havent said anything on this despite reading through) - hope everything is OK DCL! And I hope for swift action for yourself!

I don't know how it works in the UK but here in my state, if he is recently out of prison it usually means he is on parole. Those go back to prison pretty quickly if they break the parole requirements. Hopefully the guy that hit you will too. Glad you didn't get hurt bad.

OK - this'll probably be the last update until/if it goes to court:

- The driver's been arrested and bailed.
- He doesn't deny it happened, but that his passenger hit me, not him.
- I've a video-lineup to do shortly

Thanks for all the good wishes. The sore neck's got worse, but I'm not immobilised. Otherwise I'm OK and I am determined to ride to work tomorrow.

Yeah it's similar here. That's probably why he was so quickly identified, no doubt the local bobbies were waiting to hear from him.

 

[Schmilliemoo]

Quick result and quite right too. Hope they get the right man tho.

Good for you and good fortune for the future chap.

Good luck and I hope justice is served.

Hope he's suitably punished
