Cyclist assaulted by van driver and passenger after close pass

Hull?  'Nuff said.

Apologies to thousands of Hull residents who drive safely and courteously.  But  simple fact remains ... in some communities, the proportion of arrogant, ignorant dickheads in motors on their roads is "above average".  Hull is one such.

I believe the anti-cycling stance of much of the media plays a big role in this sort of behaviour.  It might just be click-bait for them but has serious repercussions such as this incident which the media neither foresees nor cares about.  Words are important.  Witness what's going on across the pond after some of the nonsense spouted forth by their president.  If you say it enough people believe it, and worse, feel they have the right to act on it.

This is terrible ;-(

I hope he recovers well and fast.

It doesn't matter how hard you (think you) are, they're in a vehicle; you're not. Much as I'd love to get my point across, most crap drivers aren't interested in listening to you, and it's not worth being maimed or killed by the unhinged ones.

I made the mistake of wanker signing a close pass driver who then decided to try to brake check me. I have cameras so could ahve just submitted the footage as is. However I then ensured that I didn't get into any other confrontation with him and hope my actions don't mean the Police won't prosecute his offences now the footage is submitted. (especially as the driver was then shown zooming past a watch your speed sign and is shown online as untaxes). 

I wouldn't attempt to confront people in their vehicles though and surprised how much others like Cycling Gaz do as at some point, people like the above will be around. 

Typical shoddy journalism, it doesn't even touch on important aspects such as the attire of the rider, or whether he was using PPE.
