So did all the Mail comments beneath the story, no offence Ed, they were all banging on about "fifty quid for a wing mirror, is she mad?" When the whole point was the judge was saying the driver's excuse was a load of old bum gravy.

i.e. he didn't need 50 quid to repair his wing mirror, he just wanted 50 quid because he's a bit of a wanker. #masterofunderstatement

it's got more legs than 'fuck you you fucking cunt waaaargarble' etc.
from the comments:
I feel a bit sick seeing this. This video came up because I just googled DG55 YOC because my boyfriend (a cyclist) was threatened by the driver of a car with that numberplate recently. He was vile; really aggressive. We reported it to the police but haven't heard anything. We're going to report it again now I've seen this. I am glad you're OK.

Thats Peckham, sadly I see that or worse every day cycling in and out of there. Most of the community have the shared road sense of a rotting collection of blind, flightless pigeons.

he lives in LA so i'm not holding my breath for a satisfactory outcome tbh... the local gendarmes there don't have the most sterling of reputations.

From the tweets it seems this is common knowledge

Apparently for the left-hook - well for leaving the scene of an accident without providing details. But they've only just got my details from the report I left with the PCSO, so I'm not sure how thats happened.
I guess the incident was filled but not my contact details? shurg -

This evening I had a car almost hit me as the driver decided to pull out from a side road when I had priority. At the next set of lights I was in the ASL and he was continually beeping at me to get out of his way , I gave him the bird and told him to shut the fuck up. The lights turned green, I turned the corner and he raced past and then pulled in to an abrupt halt. He jumped out of the car, ran towards me and started making fighty gestures while demanding what was my problem. I pointed out all that he had done and he got even more angry. When I commented he was drunk he looked furious (he reeked of alcohol). I said I was going to call the police, he initially denied drinking and then said it was just one glass of wine and got back in his car. I stood in front of his vehicle and dialled 999, he then started driving toward me, as there were cars coming from behind. I had to get out of his way and he drove off. But I got his registration, gave it to the police who notified their cars in the area and were going to try to send a unit to his registered address. Hopefully he will get done for drink driving.

Do you have the conversation recorded too?
So many fuckwits in cars on the weekend. I just gave up trying to remember number plates as each subsequent dickhead would outdo the previous moron's maneuver.
