The comments here are hilarious. Drivers are only brave when they're in their steel cage. Sure, if they knock you over, there's not much you can do. The real fun starts when the wannabe tough guys get out of their car. I spent two years a cycle courier in Bristol when at university. Car driver gets out, you drop the bike on the ground and walk very quickly towards him, removing the 1.5 KG D-lock from your belt as you do so. I did that about a dozen times, and on every occasion but one, the yellow piece of v,e;r-min suddenly remembered a pressing appointment elsewhere. Only once did the idiot try to press it, and he woke up in A&E. The police arrived, saw the video in which he was filmed getting out of his car. I went home and driver was arrested when he got out of hospital. He only got a suspended sentence, but it was worth it to see him crying in court when he was found guilty. Happy days. The moral: car drivers are bullies, and there is only one way to deal with bullies.

Road rage motorist who sent a cyclist flying through the air when he

He admitted three offences including actual bodily harm [ ... ]

Only *actual* bodily harm?

The cyclist must have landed on a part of his body impervious to the
"grievous bodily harm" you'd actually expect after a short flight as
described.

This is a step in the right direction. At least at has not been written off as 'only a motoring offence'.

In what parallel universe would an *admitted* deliberate swerve so as to
hit a cyclist (or anyone or anything) be treated as a minor matter?
