In July I was victim of a deliberate hit and run.
The driver had threatened to kill me, followed me through the streets, knocked me over and then fled. What caused him to be so angry remains a mystery. I was riding my usual route to work, he had wanted to turn right across me into a parking space and had to wait for me to pass.
He took flight, and was found in another part of the country around a month later. He has been held on remand since that time.
After being generally uncooperative he eventually pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and assault occasion ing actual bodily harm.
It has transpired that at the time he assaulted me he was serving a suspended sentence for a similar offence, whilst working as a taxi driver and had also just been convicted of a seperate careless driving offence.
He was sentenced today to two years in prison and also received a four year driving ban.
