I thought it deserved its own thread.

Well done the witness.

What a psychopath.

Love the arguments of the driver, apparently for him cyclists never arrive on time at work ;-)
''I’ve overtaken thousands of cyclists in my time and never seen anything like it. I have no problem with cyclists - there should be more cyclists on the road. I used to be a cyclist. But if we all stayed behind cyclists and never overtook the whole world would come to a standstill.''

disgusting, anyone see which company he is the director for?

Ha this is just near me. Roads and drivers around here can be pretty gash to be fair.

Same old shit, just this time there was a nice witness looking out for the rider.

Michael Hanley of Greenmount, Bury, you're a massive cunt and I hope all your cars catch fire.

Georgina Cullen, if you're ever in London, I'll buy you drinks.

Already posted by @HousecatHST in the news thread, the driver has been sentenced to six months and banned from driving for 15:

Good.

Wonder if he replaced the trashed bike too.
