Road rage motorist who tried to punch cyclist and threw bike fined £600, given six penalty points and ordered to pay for repairs

This poor bloke is probably always 3 hours late to work as he chases down every driver that pisses him off on his journey. He wouldn't only get this irate because it was a cyclist would he?

As a rule of thumb, if somebody isn't indicating, on a roundabout, I wait until I see what they're actual going to do, before acting myself.

But, TBH, I still do that when they ARE indicating.

It's called "reading the situation" and not in the slightest bit hard to do

Anyone so easily triggered and so ignorant of road law should have had their licence removed until they had passed an enhanced driving test, and demonstrated that they had taken an anger management course.  Until then, he's still a danger.

No full retest? Driver's knowledge of Highway Code seems to have faded over time.

What a selfish entitled idiot! The police should be using this video for educational reasons to highlight exactly what vulnerable road users have to put up with. The fact that any road user has to share space with this pillock is a real issue vand no wonder people are fed up with being treated like this and choose alternative modes. Clearly a dangerous individual with serious anger issues. Absolutely appalling behaviour from a driver who desperately needs retraining. I despair!

"Calm down, calm down.."

Always a bit of a worry when I see videos of roadrage when theyve not done anything to cause it.

Oooh what a charming fella he is!!!

So, this so-called letter of apology that is listed as part of the 'punishment'; do we wanna take bets on how 'sorry' he actually is? My guess is not really very much at all. I suspect that, faced with the same circumstances, he might do the same thing again except he'll propbably look harder for a camera next time before swinging in.

Clearly the option for a driving offence was well and truly missed due to the delays, but he should've been on an assault charge anwyay I reckon.

I liked the nutjobs comment about not indicating the intention to go straight ahead. How do you do that exactly?
Just goes to show when the red mist descends rational thought goes out the window. Yet he's allowed to keep his license!

How does the driver think Mark should have signalled his intent to go straight ahead? I would have thought being in the left hand lane and not signalling left for the first exit would have done it...

I'd have been coming out of that with an assault charge, albeit self defence. Well done keeping your head and avoiding it. What an absolute bell end.

Absolutely Mark's prerogative to choose the route he wished to go down and each to their own; personally with the combination of dangerous driving, criminal assault and damage to property I would have wanted to see the bugger in court with points on his licence, a criminal record and punitive damages.

Nice top cap on the stem and shame the excellent bar tape was damaged
Would trying to remove the camera and the evidence contained count as an attempt to pervert the course of justice?

I bet they dont tell you how many offences these type of people have before the incident.

Once a bully always a bully.

Respect to Mark.

Good riding, secondary position without taking up too much space and then primary into and on the roundabout. Textbook cycling.

What the hell is wrong with these people? As I said to recent one, "you've got so upset about being held up for 10 seconds, that you now want to waste 10 minutes arguing with me"
