Judging from OP's speech, I would say that this happened in the U.K. I don't think that's much that you can realistically do... although I would push for a hit and run if you caught ANY identification of the vehicle. That's crap that someone actually gets away with that on such stupid behavior. The driver may have been either reckless or even under the influence... in which case I'm glad you're still around to be typing with a broken wrist. If anything, be glad you left a friggin' dent in that guy's car. I know it ain't much, but it's the little things in life that'll push you forward instead of leaving you behind. In the dust. No pun intended. Okay, maybe some.

England, north Lincolnshire, right side of the road? It's about the only stretch with no cycle paths on the path as well!

I don't know how it is like in England, but I know in Germany, a bike counts as a vehicle in the road.

Helps your case if you ever try to pursue it... if this is the case across Europe.

For some reason most drivers in the UK seem to ignore the rules of the road. They don't quite seem clever enough to understand "give way to the right" at a roundabout, or that pushbikes and things are traffic too, and have exactly the same rights as a huge lorry. I've had to swerve into the middle of roundabouts before to avoid being hit by drivers who seem to think they have a God-given right to push everything else out of their way.

I always try to remember the numberplate and type of car if possible so you can report them to the DVLA and police. Even if they can't prosecute, a driver who receives a letter from the police about their bad driving will often change their ways!

As of Wednesday I'm a driver too now, and being a cyclist too, I shall make sure I give other road users the respect and rights they deserve.

lol i know its not funny but the way you told this story just made me laugh. Sorry lol

I have seen this problem on tv tho and many people have been killed by drivers now paying attention and doing as they please. So its a fair point i suppose asking others to watch out.

Stupid rules cost lives
