It's stuff like this which has been fuelling, hoho, the Pistonheads discussion on the veracity of the video.

You don't drive a red car do you Drac?

Whilst I agree that in theory, it could've been an emergency vehicle, and that it is probably best to look both ways at all times, I wouldn't want to tell the 75 year old man who got hit (if he's still alive) that. As far as I'm concerned, he didn't do anything wrong.
Terrible driving.

Lone women in a car, being followed by two strange men with a camera. I know what my lawyer would say.

Good on the fellers for following her and stopping her. Nice to see that one of 'em got out of the car to help the victim too.
Unbelievable. What a selfish nasty heartless ****.
I have a lawyer. Good to err on the side of caution, cos you never know when you'll need one....

I'm a rebel, living life by my own rules sticking it to the man.
Plus I like to get value from my legal insurance

One of my team got knocked down at a red traffic light on Monday. Said he got dragged along the road after being struck. He broke a rib and had a bashed up knee, but still turned up for work as usual without hardly a mention of this!
We have been telling him to report it to the Police, but he refuses. It took him 24hrs to get to see a physician.
This reluctance is exasperating because some angry and /or incompetent driver is still at the wheel of his car, putting people's lives at risk and with complete impunity!

I'm glad she was caught, but I do find it odd that a non-police person is clearly going around following people to see if they commit a crime, then appear to commit several themselves. Regardless of the situation I think the legal situation would put you in the wrong for chasing the driver at dangerous speeds through urban roads just to get their number.

This, they also seemed to be enjoying it a bit too much - when there is a near miss earlier they say 'that could have been a wicked one'.
Horrendous behaviour from the woman but the driving vigilantes are definitely a bit odd imo.

I think that a jury would not convict them of anything tbh and I doubt the CPS would have done anything.

Totally agree. I've considered a dash cam myself for evidence in a crash, but can't imagine the mentality that would make me go out hunting for accidents to film.

...now if they were selling cameras instead of exhausts....lordy!
'that could have been a wicked one'.
I don't think they meant wicked as in in awesome. I also do not think, when they say 'smash it', they mean what Richard Keys would think it means.

Sadly a lifetime ban is not an option. Even though driving is a privilege not a right, you are not allowed to take away the possibility of a person ever driving again for anything other than medical reasons, not matter how shocking their driving is.

i've found this too!
I know two people, relatively new to cycling, who've been knocked off whilst commuting. One by someone who flung open a car door another got side swiped. Both cases resulted in injuries and damage but neither would report it despite me urging them too! WTF?? I actually saw the 2nd accident happen so reported it myself, the car left the scene and had no tax/insurance/mot so despite only being a witness the police are on the look out.

I'm not convinced, they sound pretty pleased with themselves and excited to see what might happen next. That would fall into the "awesome, a crash" mentality.

I've run into the back of a car while cycling, I damaged the car and left a smear of blood over the roof. The driver, kindly, didn't whinge about my careless cycling and his damage and instead picked me up and helped me home, telling me to forget about the car. Maybe your friends were exaggerating? Maybe your friends realised they were easy mistakes to make and didn't think it worth reporting.

What a stupid $itch.
And then the Ejeets here asking if the guy had permission to film...they were not driving close to her and I'm glad their video proved useful in court.
Sorry Mod.

I saw the 2nd accident happen. The car swerved out of a queue to push to the front by using a bus lane that he was not supposed to be using. Friend knocked onto the floor. Car stopped (allowing me enough time to get my phone out of a pannier and note down the plate) looked in the rear view mirror, saw them lying on the floor underneath the bike, and drove off. This was not an honest mistake.i'm not that happy about an uninsured, untaxed person driving around having previously left someone injured in the road so I reported it. If this appears as 'whinging', so be it.
also, they were driving an Audi.

Actually a lifetime driving ban is an option, albeit a rarely used one. There is a chap near me who has been banned for life more than once (he keeps ignoring it, and getting longer and longer prison sentences plus a lifetime ban each time).
Also a driver called Dennis Putz got one last year after he killed a cyclist.

That's good to know, it wasn't possible at one time but that was 15 years ago now. Shame it isn't used more often, but sad that's it now necessary
