    I don't believe the OP. I think his "confession" is simply a way of making a face-saving exit having made an utter fool of himself for 14 pages. I reckon the accident did actually happen. He'd boxed himself into a corner and this is the only plausible way out without actually admitting he is wrong.

    Sadly, that probably puts an end to the sport. It's been great fun though.


    Probably under investigation from the local plods for careless driving. He'll get a few points for this I bet.

    If the cyclist was injured then presumably it was reported.

    I should think so, given the evasive nature of this thread it was probably quite serious due to excessive speed.

    you need to re-read my OP
    i clearly stated my speed

    you should also re read my posts about speculating facts

    Nah, not buying it. Your indignation and anger were all too real.

    Enjoy paying the excess and the increased premiums, and be more careful next time.


    Some would call it a guilty conscience.

    A bit like the stonewall refusal to provide a streetview link and the belated recall of the second cyclist. All done to add weight to his argument and deny anyone more information that might undermine his version of events. Not that it matters, his insurer will make up their own mind.

    Was the cyclist in the middle of the lane ready to turn right?

    Was the OP giving the cyclist space when overtaking e.g a car width?

    I haven't read the full thread but sounds like the OP was a MGIF trying to skim past the cyclist at whatever cost.

    I have already pointed out that you cannot infer anything negative about me for mentioning the second cyclist later and initially refusing to post a SV link.

    Repeating this type of behavior is stupid.

    They're probably awaiting the outcome of the other investigation before finally deciding.
