we've got it all wrong

From a letter in the civil service motoring organisation magazine

"I proudly drove my new black Mini Mayfair off the forecourt only to be immediately run into by a fast-travelling cylist who put a 6in gash in the offside rear panel and then just took off!"

See, there's always another perspective.

The driver then goes on to say that the engine cut out twice while on the M1 so he sold the car to his next-door neighboor.

Yup - we're all human, drivers and cyclists alike.

well he shouldnt have pulled out infront of the cyclist

This is how it reads to me as well

The cyclists did leave the scene of the accident. Not something you should do, especially if you're in the right! I'd agree I'd read it like that too.

That six inch gash will have been the cleats, he was probably grinning as he cycled off too.

That took the shine off the new car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The cyclist 'just took off'? Is he sure it was a cyclist?

Maybe it was a light aircraft he hit?
