Reminds me of a run in I had with a car last July. The guy overtakes me on the Lee High Road and immediately cuts me up - forcing me into the kerb - whereby my bike kicks out from under me and the front wheel is crushed by his rear wheel. I'm yelling blue murder and to be fair he pulls over in the Kwik Fit car park whereby we proceed to have a little ding-dong about his details and insurance. When I tell him a new Ksyrium SL will be the best part of £250 he gets really shifty and start to back away towards his car. Unbenown to me, another cyclist has witnessed the whole shebang and was quietly watching from the pavement. Just as the guy reached for his door the cyclist reaches in through the window and grabs the keys out the ignition! The driver then goes totally batshit at us both, blathering all sorts of filth and getting right in the other guys face shouting "If you ain't old bill get me my fackin' keys back.." etc.etc. At this point nice Mr Cyclist calmly says, "let's sort this out nicely Sir - I think you owe this chap some money..." as he pops open his wallet to flash his Police badge and warrant card identifying him as a DI in Lewisham's homicide division! The look on mateys face was almost worth getting my wheel trashed for! The copper was also riding a nice SS Genesis. Hero!
