Lord Northski Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Just seen this on Twitter, it appears to be an oik in a BMW pushing a cyclist off their bike here in Bristol. The number plate appears to be visible and someone must know who he is. I know Lockleaze is a Rovers/ Manchester United area but the world could do with less ***** like this on the road. http://www.bristol247.com/channel/news-comment/daily/transport/bmw-driver-push-cyclist-lockleaze-bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 There shouldn't be much need for help in this matter. The reg is clear and there's a good facial. Provided the car isn't stolen or on false plates, this should be pretty easy to resolve provided it's been reported to the police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they meant they've put the reg number into the dvla website and that's come back as it not being taxed. I er may have done this last night with my own car and realised mine may or may not have been taxed until late last night after a slight panic. You can check any car now provided you have the reg and the make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No requirement to display a tax disc - correct. But the car is showing as untaxed on the DVLA database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted March 8, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It's been online for over 24 hours now - surprised a news story hasn't come out saying a driver has been "interviewed" in relation to the incident at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsofclay Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 To put this into context it has to be stated that the cyclist is a Rotherham fan who had stated on their forum that he wanted Neil Warnock as their new manager. He actually seems to have got off lightly when you compare it to the threats made to posters on here if Warnock became our boss...becoming acquainted with The Cumberland Basin up close and personal like was just one of them!

It can take a week or so to update. If the Police can't trace the owner by checking the registration with the DVLA, that might suggest that the car has no registered keeper. He probably has a caravan too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I've got the receipt for mine done late last night via email, but the website is still saying it's untaxed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddevon Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 His hand is nowhere near outside the line of the mirror and his eyeline and head do not turn towards the cyclist. The sun also appears to be in his eyes and I think he is gesturing to an oncoming vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Having watched it again, I think what concerns me most is the 'bloke' looks about 12..... As for whether he's going for the mirror or the cyclist, it's 50 / 50, but to me - it doesn't look like he's trying to touch the mirror, looks more like he's going for a bag on the cyclists back, perhaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glynriley Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I assume the cyclist knows exactly what happened, I also assume it was his helmet cam and him who uploaded (and titled) the you tube clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Lewis Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I would think the cyclist knows as to whether the driver tried to push him off his bike or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
