Seems the Doug **** was right - deliberate ramming does happen;

At last, thank you.

"A road rage cyclist rammed his bike into a car at a notorious Cambridge
flashpoint between riders and motorists".

"The newspaper quoted a police spokesperson who said that last
Wednesday s incident occurred when the driver was going to turn left
but had to stop to give way to other cars when she heard a loud bang,
adding a cyclist had deliberately rammed his bike into her car causing
damage. She looked in her mirror and saw the cyclist speed off back
along Garlic Row. He was angry because he had to stop and cycle around
her car."

Perhaps there should be a law against deliberate ramming using a cycle
weapon?

So what do you think the likelihood of a cyclist killing or injuring
the motorist by this method? Do you have any figures for how many
motorists die or are injured from deliberate ramming by cyclists?

Oh. BTW Doug - do you have the figures yet for how many cyclists die
through deliberate ramming - or are you still being a wriggling ******?

Why do you requite a precise figure, which is probably unobtainable
anyway, and over what particular time period? It is sufficient surely
that a few die or are seriously injured per year by ramming, according
to a Google search? Probably thousands since the very beginning of car
use in Britain. What useful conclusion would you hope to draw from any
such precise number?

you want a new law to cover it, so what is your evidence that it occurs
often enough to justify a new law.?
