Boris tends to do that, too...

Sorry, my mistake - not "scene"; I meant girlfriends/wives/children/IT Trainers... :D

Long enough to exchange details with the cyclist.

And quick enough to be out of there before the police arrived.

you bring up an interesting twist to the story,he did however go to the police station later in the afternoon, as any good lawyer would advise a person to do, [as late as possible if you've been on the booze ] the article does not say if a breath or blood sample was taken,we will have to see if this goes any further.

Is it a slow news day?
Man has collusion with cyclist, waits for ambulance, exchanges details and reports incident to the police.
The news could get boring as we'll get hundreds of these every day ;)

This was clearly premeditated as two weeks ago starmer was saying BREAK THE CYCLE :)

"almost killed"?

Quote:

the male cyclist suffered a minor injury to his arm and was taken to hospital by ambulance "as a precaution".

Chelsea tractor vs bicycle,that's as close to death as you can get when your delivering someone's lunch.

I'm sure getting on the wrong side of the cyclist lobby can only boost Sir Keir's popularity with Conservative voters. Not that I think it was deliberate, before any conspiracy theorists surface. ;)

You have been dealing in too much hyperbole lately papa....

What would have been the outcome if both had been breathalysed . . . and the cyclist was over the limit?

Must have been a slow news day when a guy drove up the M1 months back.

Some very sad people still think that's news. ;)
