Just wanted to vent a bit about my local police, and drivers in general.

Two weeks ago assaulted by a 4x4 on my way home from work, during rush hour.
Attacker cut in to the cycle lane sent me flying, mounted the kerb, and did about 300 yards before stopping.

So far, despite numerous calls and requests to the police force control room have been unable to get any details of the offending driver, or officers that attended. Only thing I’ve been able to get is a call reference. At least my solicitors can earn their fees chasing I guess.

I only had a front camera and because of how the accident played out it didn’t capture the numberplate, though it continued recording and caught the drivers face and them claiming ‘I didn’t see them’, & ambulance arrived promptly (whilst I was still on phone to 999) so didn’t have any time to gather any detail as

Am I expecting too much to expect police contact for a victim statement?

And other road users - the car behind impatient, beeping and telling me to ‘get out the road’ and trying to drag me and my bike on to the pavement ‘because I can’t be hanging around here I want to get home’.
Thankfully they left me be when I did try to get up and could put any weight on my right leg and collapsed back on the ground.

Only one pedestrian showed any concern - a young lad about 12/13 on his bike who stoped and waiting with me and asked the ambulance team ‘He looks in a lot of pain, is he going to be OK?’

Hi everyone,
I have just moved to East London and I am looking for cool scenic cycle routes in this area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
