saw this on Facebook. Black fiesta deliberately swerves at cyclists near uppermill

[kiriyama]

I know some people don't have Facebook (also I can't get the link to work on my phone!!.). basically if you were one of the 3 cyclists used as target practice by a car today near Uppermill a nice lady on Facebook has the car registration if you want to report it to the police...

That link doesn't work - I am on Facebook, and it just took me to what looks like a mobile-friendly version of my normal facebook feed.

My phone won't copy the link for some reason

but here is a screen shot of the post.

Why can't the Facebook poster report it?

Why can't the Facebook poster report it?

someone on Facebook has suggested that. Hope they do as I ride around there a lot and could do without it happening to me!

Be great if she did. The whole idea of criminal law is that it is a crime against us all / the state, not as such against the victim.

I have shared her post to my facebook, i hope the muppet fiesta driver is caught and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Just seen this. The poster has contacted the police and through the power of Facebook the lead rider has contacted the poster and has now contacted the police to take this further.
Hope the muppet in the car gets what he deserves.

 

[steve50]

Great news. I have also contacted the poster to thank her for helping.

Am I correct in thinking this is Upper Mill at Huddersfield?

 

[kiriyama]

Not sure if it counts as Huddersfield. It's the uppermill in Saddleworth nearer oldham. But not that far from Huddersfield

 

[DRM]

No I was thinking of the wrong area, thanks, that one is the little village near Diggle & Delph isn't it, hopefully the idiot will be found

yeah that's the one, hope he's not still about as I might be passing through that way on Sunday!

Keep your eyes open and stay safe, If he/she has done it once and got away with it, they will do it again.

update from the lady who originally posted,
Donna O'Neill Thanks to social media and the uppermill fb page the cyclists have been found.
They were very shaken by this driver all 3 have wives and children who rely on them and are keen to take it further.
GMP are dealing with it now
