I’ve been watching this video and thinking of the road rage incident I was involved in last Sunday. A car driver used his car as a weapon driving deliberately at me riding a bicycle. I wasn’t even knocked off my bike but it could have been much worse. His car had huge wheels, over a metre high. He dented his wheel arch with my handlebars, then was blaming me for the damage. If my handlebars had been an inch or two lower, my forearm and handlebars and the rest of me would have been getting dragged round with his wheel and I would have had life-changing injuries.

The police weren’t interested, I’m lower status than a car driver. The car driver and the police agreed that he has a right to deliberately drive into cyclists. I got arrested for thumping him and his missus. He was stamping on my bike wheel so I thumped him to make his stop. We started fighting, his missus got in the way and I unfortunately hit her too, she was stupid throwing herself in the way to protect him.

I’m getting a helmet cam. If I’d have had one, this car driver driving into me, threatening me, trying to steal my bike and stamping on my wheel would have been recorded. You should be wearing a helmet if you ride a bike. Get a cam for it.

8/5/25 This car driver deliberately ran into me then took my bike saying that he’s stealing it – that’s happened to me before in road rage incidents.

I’m not certain that him driving into me was caught on CCTV but the rest of it should be. The police can say that CCTV didn’t exist of course as they often do.

I stayed about 8 metres away for about 20 minutes. He then started stamping on my bike’s back wheel as he was calling the police. I wonder why he was calling the police – cyclist not being adequately deferential and respectful to him? I think that I can be heard on the police recording “Get off my bike cnut <smack of a thump in the face>. I only intended to smack him once but he retaliated and we got into a fight. I started winning because I’m a fit cyclist. His missus got in the way to save her husband. I’m fighting and his missus gets in the way … I smack her. It’s all over.

Policeman wasn’t interested in my account and I was arrested. The police claimed that there was an independent witness but I would demolish that so-called independence in seconds. Police were happy to arrest and prosecute me for smacking him and his missus (assault) despite him stamping on my bike wheel for no reason without any provocation apart from hatred for cyclists. Police are not willing to prosecute him for using his car as a weapon (assault, possible motoring offences), chasing me down the road (assault), stamping on my bike (criminal damage) just because he’s a cnut.
