    Just coming home after a great club ride, am in my home city, on a busy road , sense a car very close trying to ‘creep’ past, look round to see passenger with his hand out ready to grab/slap my arse, evade it by cutting toward kerb, they go past laughing, gesticulating, passenger has arm out imitating grabbing, — have reported it to non emergency , await developments– got the reg as it was distinctive, also heard their plummy voices– i love students !!!!

    Why’s that wasting police time? You should hear some of the 999 calls they receive.

    Q1 – no, but the passenger wasnt driving.
    Q2 – Because there is heehaw chance of getting a conviction. What would you charge them with?

    Driving without due care maybe? Even if not, that shouldn’t stop them from going to have a word or two.

    glupton-
    1 the passenger was not driving, the driver was attempting to manoeuvre to let his passenger do the deed, after they went past to much laughter and merryment he did a swerve with the car to intimate it again, so yes the driver was very much involved– jolly japes for them tw*ts, potential serious injury for a cyclist,
    2- they should have a stern word and log it for future ref, driving with malicious intent, he may ave only passed test not long- whatever– oh and this is a smallish place ,a very distinct reg, i may see the car again…

    JY- have reported it –they seem to have taken it as an offence– have promised to report back….

    students here are very easy to spot/identify, they often behave in very predictable ways, language is a give away, dress is another, and the fact that they were not competent enough to carry out the deed tops it 😉

    No, just a sense of humour fail for the OP 🙄

    The consequences of a successful hit would have been possibly serious for me– i was doing a reasonable speed, for them its more likely ignorance and too much clarkson–

    these things happen all the time , a cyclist found by the side of a road with horrific injuries– no witnesses — who’s to say..

    Any one who thinks that these things are trivial either has no experience of road riding, or is just the same as the people in the car

    My brother had a half empty beer can thrown at him from a passing car a few weeks ago, I should have told the humourless sod to laugh it off 🙄

    Errr don’t ask me how I know this, but 100% the police see it as assault. They did at least unless its changed.

    Maybe, at the last second, they realised they might catch their hand on the stick that appears to be jammed up your ass, and thought better of it?

    on the arse!

    sorry, the offence is dangerous driving, the arse thing is speculation?

    if hand had met arse, then add that to the bill.

    i’d be more worried about that hand pushing me off, than copping a feel.

    driving that close to a cyclist is dangerous. No debate here is there?

    bloody Hoorah Henries.. all teeth and tweed.. greedy Aywots

    I can’t believe that some are defending the actions of the car’s occupants (of unyet ascertained heritage) though.. STW student contingent..?

    I probably would have been erked had this happened to me, but I think it may have been fairly harmless. Don’t dwell, it won’t help.

    I take it you were in lycra? You were basically asking for it… 😉

    oh yes wearing lycra is asking for it.. wait this is dangerously close to the ‘women deserve to be raped for dressing that way’ argument no?

    (put’s flame suit on).

    anyway, no arses were harmed by the sound of it.

    There was a cracker on Youtube where a rear seat passenger was trying something similar by hanging out the door – smacked his head on a parked car instead. Justice seen to be done.

    North Wales Finest have got back, they have spoken to driver and passenger involved, both fessed up ! they said they were remorseful and realised it was a stupid thing to do.(they are students )

    He thanked me for reporting this and said that people should not delay in reporting any instances of bad/reckless behaviour on the road, its only by going through the appropriate channels that this sort of behaviour becomes as taboo as drink driving.
    He added that NW Police are about to have a cycle awareness campaign, aimed at motorised road users– I can only say that this is a positive outcome and hope others will be encouraged to do the same.

    That is a good positive outcome.

    A couple of weeks ago I was driving home from work when an oncoming car started veering off into my path – the driver having too much fun throwing stuff out of the window at a student to realise he was on the wrong side of the road! He swerved out of the way at the last minute. Would’ve reported it but I was too busy mouthing the letters WTF? There’s some idiots out there.

    Don’t let this get in the way of any discussion, but I’m pretty sure there’s no such offence as attempted assault.

    Edit: just seen outcome which is positive and seems a good approach from police. Result
