Knocked off : advice...?

[David Fleming]

Hi All,

Many thanks for the varying feedback - all very much appreciated & valued.

In hindsight, I should probably not have yelled at the driver, I certainly shouldn't have stopped directly in front (this wasn't intended as a provocation, but I can see it could have been construed as such) & I definitely shouldn't have swung at the car.

None of the ensuing actions of the driver would have happened had I cycled on by.

I appreciate that people using a car in such aggressive/potentially violent way shouldn't be allowed to do so with impunity, but given my reaction to the driver leaving the scene, I don't think I'm in a position to pursue it.

Bike should be repaired (& serviced - it was overdue anyway) by Thursday, back on the saddle by Friday!

Thanks again for the replies/advice/feedback/criticism.

:-)

The repair to his door will probably cost him a fair few quid, that's a kind of justice :-)

[QUOTE 2606830, member: 30090"]Why stop in front of car when they've just done what they did?

Not having a go, just saying like.[/quote]

Makes a point of- oh you wanted to be in front. Well .!. i'm in front.

Just enjoy the fact that you aren't the idiot driver, and get on with your day.
