Group noun and individual - a twatter of twidiots.
Hope he's ok.
Why should a non-work-related incident have implications for her employment? If it was legit to sack people for being a douchenozzle, we'd have very empty halls of power...
Nah, she's a Woman Driver and therefore ineligible for folkhero-dom at the hands of the Mail.
Mr Hockley, 29, of Norwich, was riding with Iceni Velo cycling club on a narrow country lane, about five miles away from the end of the route at Snetterton."A car came tearing round the blind corner and narrowly missed a cyclist in front of me," he said."She came on to my side of the road, I took the wing mirror off and I went flying off my bike into a hedge."She hit me hard, really hard. I am lucky to be alive."But I managed to get out of the hedge and stand up."The car was nowhere to be seen. She hit me, and she was gone."All I know is that it was a blonde girl driving.

But when I finished, the aches and pains set in and I had a bit of sulk in the cafe and had an ice-cream.
She's blonde and, presumably, has breasts. That's all the Fail needs.
And Sky News get road tax correct: http://news.sky.com/story/1093752/drivers-twitter-boast-about-hitting-cyclist
The comment on Twitter suggested Toby Hockley, as a cyclist, does not pay "road tax".A road tax does not exist in the UK but the term is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or "car tax" paid on most motorised vehicles as a tax on emissions.Roads are funded by all UK taxpayers under general and local taxes.Source:Gov.uk
The Doctor: This whole world is swimming in WiFi. We're living in a WiFi soup. Suppose something got inside it. Suppose there was something living in the WiFi. Harvesting human minds. Extracting them. Imagine that. Human souls trapped like flies in the World Wide Web. Stuck forever. Crying out for help.Clara: Isn't that basically Twitter?
Listened to 30 seconds of that before turning off in disgust. How is it that they can take a story about the appalling actions of a driver, and turn it into a discussion on cyclist behaviour? Beggars belief.
Dear SirA cyclist gets hurt in a hit-and-run and your programme asks whether cyclists should be on the road. What on earth were you thinking?Your programme yesterday was an unedifying stream of hatred from some drivers who sounded deranged. That woman from Spixworth could hardly contain her bile that cyclists choose not to use the dangerous, glass-strewn cycle path, she also admitted sounding her horn to intimidate vulnerable road users. She's not fit to have a license, cycle lanes are not compulsory and the advice in the Highway Code is that faster cyclists should use the road. Your programme wasn't insightful or helpful, rather it was rabble-rousing, people who don't know how to drive properly were basically just venting in a horrible, hate-filled way. You are pandering to the minority of drivers who use two tons of metal to bully and intimidate people. It was an awful, dangerously misguided effort, you may well have made my bike ride to work more dangerous.
