Had a truck driver offer his dashcam footage to guy who doored me and call me all names under the sun as I lay in the road with my smashed up collar bone. Luckily another cyclist and a passer by joined me in telling him to do one. That footage may well be posted on youtube when the legal proceedings are done.
@farewell @HatBeard that's how I got hit by a van (well technically I smashed into the side of him) and wrecked a bike. O Jefcott sorted me out nicely thankfully but the driver was a total cunt. Shouted abuse at me while I was on the floor, tried to pull me up when my back was in agony, told me that I might have had right of way but look who's lying on the floor all smashed up, then he drove off without leaving any details because I didn't have any details to give him and who was going to pay for his mirror and his door? Must have called his boss to say he was going to be late and realised that he'd get done for leaving the scene of an accident so just came back to give me a piece of paper with his mobile number and registration number. Apparently that was just enough information to not get done by the police who eventually turned up and did nothing. I could barely walk, no ambulance turned up, my bike was smashed, and they didn't even offer me a lift home.
