E-fit of road rage cyclist

The cyclist, who is white, in his 30s, with short, dark, wavy hair and
glasses and was wearing a dark top and trousers, stopped his bike in
front of the victim's silver Peugeot 406. He then got off the bike and
smashed it down on the bonnet.

I expect the car driver was a woman, or disabled.

Yet another argument in favour of compulsory registration.
When will the authorities do something to protect women and children from
these dangerous psychopaths?

You mean like this one - drunk, hit and run, speeding!
result= 8 years jail and 10 year driving ban.
I don't think his numberplate played any role in catching this fine
upstanding motorist.


Press report from February

"A driver from Folkingham has been warned he faces jail after he
admitted causing the death of a 27-year-old cyclist.

Paul Walken, 42, of Chapel Lane, Folkingham, had been due to stand trial
in front of a jury at Lincoln Crown Court today (Monday) but pleaded
guilty to causing the death of Timothy Osborn by careless driving while
unfit to drive through drink.

Mr Osborn, who lived in Pode Hole near Spalding, was knocked down and
killed on September 14, 2012, as he cycled home from work along the A151
Bourne Road, Spalding.

Judge Stuart Rafferty told Walken: “I will give you credit to the extent
I can give you credit for your guilty plea but you must appreciate it
comes very late in the day.

“You must understand that what you did remains very serious indeed.
Nobody suggests that you took Mr Osborn’s life deliberately but
nevertheless it was because of your actions and inactions that this
occurred. I am afraid there is a price that has to be paid for that.

“There will have to be a pre-sentence report. That will go to the length
of sentence rather than anything else.”"

no the numberplate was not seen, the motorist came forward in response
to the appeal.

Do you think that numberplates 'never' help to catch miscreants? If so
then why are they there?

What, of the above, suggests that the driver was not traced via his
vehicle's registration mark? I appreciate that you might not have quoted
the whole of the news report.

And "...causing ... death ... by careless driving while unfit to drive
through drink"... I had never heard of that charge. Why not just plain
old CDBDD and "excess alcohol"?

he turned himself in later, so breathalyser was not applicable. no one
witnessed the accident so no one could note the number plate or
description of the vehicle or driver.
However, in the relevant post above, a number plate on the bicycle would
probably have discouraged the attack or led to apprehension of the cyclist.

Collect TAXES

So are you saying that numberplates 'never' help to catch miscreants?
and that they are there solely to get taxes?
The Motor Car Act 1903, which came into force on 1 January 1904,
required all motor vehicles to be entered on an official vehicle
register, and to carry number plates. The Act was passed in order that
vehicles could be easily traced in the event of an accident or
contravention of the law. nothing about taxes.

I,m sorry - cyclist being killed by motorist is of course 'OFF TOPIC' in this forum!
