Unwise to try to damage wingmirrors of cars
The driver should have realised that the cyclist would have fridge
freezer insurance to cover the damage. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime...s-9604177.html |

The cyclist's home insurance may contain legal cover which will help him to claim compensation for any injury caused. A collision where a cyclist takes off a car wing mirror may seem minor to the driver but could lead to many thousands of pounds compo for the cyclist. |

However, criminal damage, which the cyclist admitted could amount to a few thousand plus a criminal record and even jail time, not good on a solicitor's record, I also do not think that fridge freezer insurance will pay out for deliberately inflicted damage. |

You appear to be confused. You may regard a cyclist who is hit by a dangerously driven car as causing criminal damage, but most other people and the courts wouldn't. It is a bit like accusing someone of causing criminal damage for scuffing your boots after you have kicked them in the teeth. One wonders where this type of thinking comes from, what line of work are you in? |

A collision where a cyclist takes off a car wing mirror may seem minor to the driver but could lead to many thousands of pounds compo for the cyclist. I don't think I would regard damage to a wing mirror as "minor". I know from experience that a replacement of a modern wing mirror (complete with electrical adjustment mechanism and heating elements) is likely to cost several hundreds of pounds. However, criminal damage, which the cyclist admitted could amount to a few thousand plus a criminal record and even jail time, not good on a solicitor's record, I also do not think that fridge freezer insurance will pay out for deliberately inflicted damage. You appear to be confused. You may regard a cyclist who is hit by a dangerously driven car as causing criminal damage, but most other people and the courts wouldn't. The reported tale is short enough on detail to enable one to unravel it, but did the "dangerous driving" occur before, during or after the collision? The description of the driving just isn't there. It might have been something the driver did in order to catch up with the cyclist who had apparently damaged his car. That would make some sort of sense, though it clearly isn't the only interpretation which could make sense. It is a bit like accusing someone of causing criminal damage for scuffing your boots after you have kicked them in the teeth. Maybe. Maybe not. It all depends. Mind you... "Kal El"... wince I know where he got the name, but still... where DO people get the ideas for adopting such names from? |

That is what it says. It's precisely that which makes me suspect that the "dangerous driving" aspect (which is otherwise undescribed) might be something that happened *after* that little incident. |

I once saw a cyclist try and kick a car, and being unfamiliar with Newton's Laws of Motion kicked himself off his own bike. |
