This Volvo Driver Rammed A Cyclist For No Good Reason, And Got Away With It
The driver of this Volvo appears to speed up before slamming into a cyclist and leaving the scene. Because it was a hire vehicle, police said they couldn't determine the identity of the driver
This shocking crash happened November last year in Nottingham, and was severe enough to cause internal haemorrhaging and back injuries for the victim. It took him four months to recover from the injuries, but the real sting in the tale came when Nottingham Police were unable to prosecute the driver, as the Volvo XC60 was revealed to be a hire vehicle.
Instead, a man eligible to drive the car at the time - quite possibly the perpetrator - got away with just a £150 fine and six penalty points for “failing to provide driver details.” A woman was also eligible to drive at the time, but the Crown Prosecution Service deemed that there wasn’t enough evidence to determine who was behind the wheel.

ok, I’m gonna sound like a douchebag too, but I think it’s a stupid system in Britain that cyclists can freely ride on the road and sometimes I honestly want to ram them too. Never done that though
