    Jimmy Carling, 17, was sideswiped outside the Grammar School and then
    threatened by the driver.

    He made no attempt to help the youngster up off the road and accused
    him of cycling through a red light. The man snatched up Jimmy’s bike
    and, when asked to leave it alone, threw it to the ground and kicked
    the broken saddle across the road.

    The driver left no contact details after Thursday’s incident and is
    now being sought by police.

    [rest snipped]

    Big man, running down a 17-year-old. Might have scratched the paint on
    his Lard-Rover, he was taking a real risk there.

    Bolt croppers...

    "Then he pulled alongside me, revved three times loudly and drove into me
    and my bike went from under me.’"

    Attempted Murder, IMHO.

    Sounds like the cyclist's SMIDSY was the trigger - "The Land Rover
    appeared suddenly in the left-hand lane" - but still no excuse for what
    followed.

    I have little doubt that if the [censored] is caught the court will
    consider the provocation as some kind of mitigation. As far as I am
    concerned anybody who is prepared to commit a potentially lethal
    assault in a fit of pique is unfit to hold a driving license. Or
    indeed a set of goolies, see above.

    My money is on a light slap on the wrist and much righteous
    indignation the part of the cager.

    But the Baxter case does give some encouragement - even if the CPS did
    downgrade the prosecution. They claim they didn't, but the court said
    the maximum sentence for the charge brought was five years, whereas
    GBH carries a potential life term.

    In this case I think the charge should be assault causing actual
    bodily harm. But I bet it will be some paltry motoring offence.

    What a moton!

    He's committed "Leaving the Scene" in addition to everything else
    (police resent that because of the extra bother it gives them, so they
    will make the effort to find him) - and he's done it on Guernsey!

    What are his chances of disappearing into the vast anonymity of St Peter
    Port?

    Probably thinks he's safe because that Jim Bergerac is clearing up
    mass murders in the Home Counties these days.
