Attempted assault by van passenger in Tooting

There isn't really anything you can do, if you get grabbed from behind from someone in a vehicle, they'll pretty much have complete control over you.

What did the fella(s) look like, what van kind of van?

sure he wasn't just giving you a big hug?

I meant after the incident. Assuming that I hadn't been wiped out that is

Maybe the way to go is to grab hold of the passenger by the neck as tight as you can and just hold on. if he is not belted in you could wrench him right out the van and push him in front of the next available on-coming car...

(note to self.. watch fewer Segal films...)

That would be a good move, if you weren't riding fixed. You could then take your combat knife from your boot and stab them in the neck

You need some arm blades. Keeps your hands free for steering innit

oh God, I need some of those

Yeah, you'd look great in fishnets.

Steven Seagal films? Too many? Impossible.

But true enough my first thought after catch up and smash the lights and mirrors was; if he grabs you, climb in the window.

That said, I'm fairly scoobydoobious of any cyclist who ain't on the ball enough to see something like this coming. Over your shoulder or through your arm pit all the time!

This is also another reason helmet cams are a good idea.

I had to report a taxi driver to the police on Friday, he deliberately drove at me.
Because nobody was injured and no damage caused the police would not attend.
I saw him stuck in traffic a few mins later and wished that I hadn't reported it to the police as they had my name, address etc. I could have got away with smashing up the taxi / driver and ridden off into the sunset.

All seems a bit strange though. If someone was waving a gun around then the police would attend - however you can kill someone with a car, but obviously this is not a priority for them.

Sure this has all been raised on here before though.....

If you were very careless it could then fall straight down the nearest drain leaving no evidence whatsoever it had ever been in your possession.

I thought that a spiked choker like this might work, then I realised you'd end up dragging a fat chav down the road with your neck. Such a fashion faux par with skinny hipster jeans.

even though it is a taxi and they can pinpoint exactly who it is there is no action taken?!

I am not well acquainted with rules of the road here but that just seems obviously wrong.

Spot the car thief!

Sparkplugs are also very good for causing a nice solid, quiet smash

Take the ceramic part of the plug and loop it onto your keyring with some string - the car thief solution to window glass - I don't advocate this type of thing though -

hoho - you can see who the dodgy geezers are around here then Graham..;)

I'm from Liverpool, what do you expect? All we do is nick cars, break into peoples houses and sign on apparently

Unbelievable!

..dont suppose you saw the colour of the van?

Racist!

Seem to remember these being popular when I was a chavling.

Unbelievable!

Racist!

White. They are always white. Bastard white vans

Really stupid people about. Like this...

This is a (very old) video of some American kid trying to do the same thing to a BMXer and failing. It's at times like this I wish I could spell schadenfreude.
