David, that's awful!

[Torslanda]

At best it's due care. More like attempted murder.

Bloody hell. What on earth goes through the brain of people like this ?

[David Martin]

Easy case for assault. You don't have to hit anyone for assault either. Assault with a deadly weapon, actual bodily harm? The hard part will be getting  positive evidence for the driver/car being the one involved.

Thank God everyone is going to be okay - that's horrendous behaviour. I hope young Lewis bounces back quickly and without trauma. I'll include Edinburgh RC in my prayers today.

You think he took due care? That seems like a  generous analysis!

Bugger deserves everything he gets. Hope they catch him, but proving it was him will be difficult. Can't imagine there'll be that many CCTV cameras in the area.

[andyoxon]

Nasty.  Hope they find the driver. 

'Sorry, didn't realise I was so close, and certainly didn't know I'd hit anyone'.  <Slap on wrist.>

[Ruthie]

Bloody hell.  Thank goodness it wasn't worse!  Hopefully Lewis isn't too shaken up and will be back on the bike soon.

Bastard.

[Gattopardo]

Sad to hear this happened.

Square root of sod all will happen.  Cyclists don't matter.

Remember that car user will have done this before and again.

[Canardly]

Damn. Hope they catch the scrote.

OK. I've obviously fallen foul of bloody pedants' corner.

To expand the comment:

'At best the offence is driving without due care and attention'.

Happy now?

[mattc]

Wasn't meant as pedantry - just a gentle joke, based on some ambiguous wording.

(and at the same time agreeing with your intended meaning )
