No charge brought to the driver because;
"It’s unclear whether there are any restrictions on cars sharing the crossing with bikes and pedestrians. There are no signs barring vehicle traffic from the bridge at either entrance"

let alone the fact they drove straight into a cyclist and possibly could have killed the group the cyclist has just passed seconds before if that hadnt happened.

I, for one, am glad that such an unrequited psychopath is in charge of two tonnes of fast moving steel.
And on my commute route too!
Such joy...

He's on about the apathy of the police in the face of actual offences being as good as the actual offences not being actual offences. IYSWIM.

I find his preplanned "defence" more worrying than the swearing of it's delivery.
I drifted off my usual browsing the other week into some car forums and "help me off my ticket" type places for motorists following that crazy peds need high vis ruling and sadly things can't be unseen.
His business sadly I expect will get a boost now as he becomes a champion to that bad 1-5% of motorists.

Do we have a good drivers thread? Should we have 1?
I had the rare pleasure to be riding alongside / in front of a cement lorry today coming from new cross to Camberwell. When I first encountered the lorry, I thought shit the road is narrowing down and the bike lane is disappearing... Shit, he is gonna go pass me any second... To my surprise, the driver slowed down, driving behind me patiently with a very respectable distance, until there was a clear bike lane, a bus lane and a normal lane, I then slowed down and signalled to let him pass, he did that and gave me a gentle honk in response once he's passed safely, which was nice. I caught up with him a couple of minutes later, he got stuck behind a few buses, I filtered through. Maybe a couple of traffics lights later, he caught up with me, drove behind me once again with a respectable distance, very patient driver. If it wasn't for the dickhead bus driver got in the way somehow, I wanted to stop at the next traffic light and take his details so I can call his company to send a compliment. A real example of how a lorry should be driven.

Riding along peckham road along the right side of a queue of traffic waiting at the junction with southampton way. So I'm riding along, thankfully not very fast, and an idiot decides to pull out from the queue of cars to jump the line and turn right onto Southampton Way. He's about 12 cars back in the queue. Gave no signal, just went for it as I was level with him. I slam on the brakes, can't avoid him without going into oncoming traffic and I manage to jump off my bike and take a tumble, cutting up and bruising my knee, landing on my hands (one of which is only just recovered after fracturing it in May).
Of course when I had dusted myself down, I saw that he was just up the road still waiting to turn right so I approached his car and told him he caused me to crash. Him and his mate had nasty smirks on their faces. He told me he signalled and then just laughed and drove off.
I got his numberplate and I will be visiting peckham police station ASAP. Think it was outside a petrol station, so should be on CCTV.
So angry. Leaving the scene of an accident in which someone is hurt. Horrible man.

Make it clear that there was contact too...
Needs 'dickhead' before 'drivers'
