I spent 10 years as a motorcycle courier in London and am constantly amazed by the lack of concern people (including the police) show when something like that happens. When you strike another road user / pedestrian with your car ON PURPOSE it is extremely serious. The biker was nearly forced into the median (I think thats what I have to call it over here) if he had of lost control at that speed the consequences would have been extremely serious probably fatal. The bikers may be dicks, whatever, the penalty for being a bit of a dick should not be death.
I hope they dragged the car driver out of his car and curb stomped him into a wheel chair.

You've certainly done your time in a biking gladatorial arena of London. I bike into town every day too. Likesay, these bikers should have buzzed off and left this moron to eat their dust although I appreciate the temptation to "stomp him into a wheelchair".

but I am a 'merkin now so I can go all shock and awe if I wanna! :)
What irks me is everyone views peoples actions as tit for tat, for the most part the motorcyclist actions are irrelevant to the point that the car driver tried on more than one occasion to kill someone. Why didn't he pull over and let the motorcyclists on their merry way? It is almost like some people think that in some way the Motorcyclists deserved it...
