Good on both of you for making it through uninjured and getting the numbers. I do hope you get to see some action taken.

have been reading a few other threads and beginning to feel a bit like it's not going to be worth my time and effort to take it any further. Despite the 'hit and run while on the mobile phone' bit of the story, I've realised the police only got me to fill in a traffic incident form.
In fact, reflecting on it now, it was no accident - the fucker was deliberately trying to intimidate me, and went so far that he hit me.
not really sure what, if anything, to do next...

REPORT THEM!
Make the cunts pay.

You should've asked for attempt assault, that'll risen their eyesbrow a bit.
Either way, reporting to the police is a must, since quite a lots of cycling incident go unreported, and TfL (as well as other board) tend to rely on those statistic for future reference.

I've done the calling 999, limping down to the police station and filling in a 20-page report bit - is there any other reporting to be done? I figure the best case outcome is the bastard loses his no claims but more likely he'll deny everything and I don't have any cast iron proof he actually hit me...
really don't want the fucker to get away scott free - especially as I have a back wheel to replace.

Request CCTV? You also have a witness!

Or, V888 form, find out where he lives, sick some insurance company onto him or have him killed while he sleeps. Either way, result!

• #34
is it possible to able to replace the forms with an attempt assault one? or there's no turning back?

• #35
.....trying to kill me you fucking Dalek?
hah fucking ha!

CCTV is a good idea - will have a look when I cycle past (on my shit old mountain bike) tomorrow morning.
I'm pretty sure attempted assault won't wash - no way of a witness seeing definitively the difference between that and someone just driving into the back of me...
but might pop back to the station and ask for a crime number for the fleeing the scene of the incident - if nothing else, should put the shits up him when I write asking for a big whack to repair my bike...

Assault, etc needs to be reported to the police.
The V888 is what you use when you don't want to involve the cops, it's just a minor bingle and you want to get their address for your insurer or something.
Or you want to slowly poison them with heavy metals drip fed into their water supply.

I'm amazed at the restraint people on here show after an accident, i'm a very non-violent/aggressive person but i really don't know how i'd react towards the driver, especially in a case where they've deliberately harmed/intimidated me. Had a near miss(his fault) on kingsland a couple of nights ago, swore at the cunt and he prompted accelerated past me, swerved in front and jammed on the handbrake, were it not for the fact i was turning left into a side road anyway i def would have hit him.
I'm pretty sure that had an accident occured, damaging my bike i would have probably thrown the bike thru his window/burnt the car in the street etc, counterproductive i know and brings me down to their level but damn. Still, i've never had an off so i couldn't possibly comment on how i'd actually feel after the fact.
Heal up everyone and i hope revenge is swift, cold and financially beneficial.You guys wouldn't believe the state of fear i'm in whilst driving the work truck, paranoid as fuck i'm gonna hurt one of you good people. As soon as the boss got the truck i got bigger mirrors sorted and the 'don't be a fucktard and pass on the left' stickers for the back.
Cycling as part of driving test ftw.
again, heal soon everyone

No Mythbusters tried cramming all sorts of shit up there. As soon as the engine was turned it just flew out again.
Burning rag into the petrol tank FTW
report asap, before the drivers, that's the best way to actually get the police to be on your side, so I noticed.
least you're ok mate.
